OPM: While the PS4 is all about shiny new technology and fresh ideas there’s a load of PS3 stuff we’re not ready to say goodbye to just yet. From Home to Singstar and more here’s some of Sony’s current gen potential we want carried over to the future.
Buzz! Games had a time when they took over the gaming world. They were amongst the most popular PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable. It only makes sense for them to return on the PS5.
Omg this! My family play Knowledge is Power to fill the void as we wait for a new generation of Buzz.
Awesome fun at Christmas with the family or with your mates when the drinks are flowing.
Is it sad I never even heard of this or just don’t remember it at all ? Not the type of game I would play generally so I know nothing about it . I would check it out if it’s fun with the fam . I have owned every PS ever made including the Go that I gave to my son . Just don’t remember this
Yes buzz was the greatest party game back in the day.
And in today's world everyone has a potential buzzer in their pocket with the app integration similar to knowledge is power and no more tangled cables.
I would love another buzz game. it was family friendly, funny, entertaining, and easy to learn/play so supper accessible.
Popular when? It was not popular back then at all except outside the stares for some reason. It was gimmicky as f when everyone thought they were so clever making game-show like games. but with puppet people… yuck.
You wanna gameshow game? Smash TV. Done. Move on.
IGN India says: “ Interior Night’s Charu Desodt on bringing Singstar to life on the PS2, winning a BAFTA, and upcoming Xbox Series X|S and PC game, As Dusk Falls.”
This may come as a bit of a shock to Americans, since it never really took hold in the US, but Singstar was one of the most important series ever released on a Sony console. And in January 2020, after 15 years of PlayStation karaoke, it’s finally going to be shuffled off the stage.
This game could live on as a VR game. Karaoke as different created characters or franchise characters from other games. Sing as Kratos or Nathan Drake or Parappa the Rapper, etc and post to social media if you're into that internet thing. Would be funny. And interesting if you had individuals who could really sing. Alloy becomes a virtual singing idol.
Sounds crazy but it's creative for VR. And you could use Dreams to create your backgrounds and music videos. I don't really sing but don't think they should give up on Singstar.
So if you invested potentially hundreds of dollars in the game with DLC songs, will all of it continue to work or are you just SOL now?
I loved SingStar but it hasn't been supported most of this gen. It had a half-hearted revival with a couple of discs but very little of the PS3 library transitioned across. I will probably keep my PS3 just for SingStar when PS5 comes out.
SingStar was huge in the US. Where did the idea that it wasn't popular in the US come from? It wasn't a hardcore game, so the hardcore gaming community never really noticed it much, but the game was a huge money maker for Sony.
I would really like to see Home make a return, and for it to live up to it's full potential. It's such a brilliant idea.
Give me another Sing Star too. I have almost every game in the series.
