Microsoft considering interactive game shows for Xbox One
Phil Spencer, corporate vice president of Microsoft Game Studios, was asked on Twitter whether the platform holder had any intention to publish a game similar to 1 vs 100 on Xbox Live again.
"I think we will," Spencer replied.
He added: "[Microsoft entertainment exec] Nancy Tellem and I were discussing gameshows on XBL. 1v100 was a success for us. Prob not 1v100 exactly."
1 vs 100 was a regularly scheduled gameshow on Xbox Live that gave players from around the world the opportunity to be contestants. Players could be chosen as "The One", "The Mob" or "The Crowd", and compete against thousands of others, with prizes such as Microsoft Points and XBLA games up for grabs. The show lasted two full seasons.
The game was also frequently hosted by Chris Cashman or James McCourt.
Microsoft announced 1 vs 100 was to be cancelled in July 2010, following its second season. According to Microsoft, more than 114,000 people played the game simultaneously, which set a Guinness World Record for the most contestants in a game show.
Microsoft Studios' former general manager, Dave McCarthy, said he was pleased with what the 1 vs 100 game had accomplished and will be using what they learned from the project in the future.
"When we started on this journey, we knew we were creating an entirely new genre of entertainment that would be a continually evolving concept," said McCarthy.
"We're very proud of the '1 vs 100' team and their accomplishments, and are excited to apply what we've learned to future programming."
