Relentless to Microsoft: Copying designs is not enough

One of the many titles announced by Microsoft to be showcased during this year's E3 is Scene It? Lights, Camera, Action. This is a quiz-like video game and is an adaptation of the DVD TV board game of the same title where players answer questions related to pop culture. Quite interestingly, award-winning development studio Relentless Software has something to say about this.

You see, Lights, Camera, Action will come bundled with four wireless controllers known as "Big Button Controllers" that will serve as buzzers. However, those who own a PlayStation 2 and are familiar with Relentless' Buzz! franchise might recognize this so-called big button controllers so well:

The one on the left are the controllers for Scene It! while the one on the right the ones for Buzz It!. Relentless Software Creative Director David Amor said that while they are flattered by this "imitation", this will not ensure success for Microsoft. Amor added,

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery so right now we're basking in adulation. We knew it would be coming but we were a little surprised at the extent that the design had been inspired by Sony's. I think the test for Microsoft will now be on the software.

The creative director mentioned that he is not at all familiar with Scene It! but if it will prove to be a competition for their Buzz! games, they are ready. "I know we have some aces up our sleeve with our forthcoming Buzz! titles," said Amor. It was mentioned before that Relentless is developing a new game for the PlayStation 3.

The design would be a perfect fit for the Wii. But for a 360, it's a shame.

heh, he said 'tits' :)

# In other news — Guest 2007-07-11 21:28

In other news; Sony has introduced a new Disc Format called Blue Ray, but as you can see from the pictures it is clearly a direct rip-off of the Toshiba DVD format, and looking at the remote control for the Player it is also remarkably similar in shape to a similar product that was done by Philips/Samsung/Panasonic with a similar function...Grow up people, not everything was thought up by Sony first. Especially since this wasn't even thought up by Sony but a third party company...

# ? — Guest 2007-07-12 09:01

I have NEVER heard of Buzz it!

I HAVE heard of Scene IT!

I think Buzz it stoke from scene it!

# Awesome! — Guest 2007-07-12 17:54

I love your logic!

Typical American... If I haven't seen it, it doesn't exist.

Egoistical a-hole.

# True — Guest 2007-07-12 22:11

So true that. Yet I never will quite understand what Steve Jobs is doing on this site when Macs have few games released for them. Yes. Boot camp rules. But nothing native.

Yes. I am a Mac user, and I am a very happy Mac user. Just pointing out some stuff and trying to take the piss lol.

# buzz it — Guest 2007-07-13 06:02

It 's not buzz it, it 's just Buzz. They made a joke i guess :s . The buzz controllers existed first so.
