1 vs. 100 team to give The One a bit more presence photo

Plans are in the works for another 1 vs. 100 season. The Xbox LIVE Primetime downloadable seemed to be a success if the overloaded servers during each live recording of the social game show are any indication of impact. But don’t expect the same thing all over again -- the team behind the game is adding little twists and tweaks make the game all the more better. In a latest posting on the game’s development blog, we’re observing that the game’s treatment of The One is receiving some love.

For example, the user selected to be The One will now receive a golden notification as well as an automatic “Busy” status on Xbox LIVE. Apparently, the special selected were being bombarded with media -- requests and messages -- as they tried to answer the questions and win big Banana Bucks.

The One will also receive a new entrance. No longer will he or she just pop onto stage -- “their avatar,” according to the posting, “appears at the top of a staircase, just like the TV program.” To add a bit more zest, the crew is adding a pose once The One appears on this magical staircase of awesome.

These are small improvements, but crucial ones in the scheme of things. 1 vs. 100 is still a rad idea, but the presentation often killed the edge or the moment with its boring pans and sweeps. Among other things, we’ll be watching in the future to see if the team figures out a way to make the player, who rarely is The One or in The Mob, at least appear important during the course of the game. Eyes are glued.

I tried out the Canadian preview last week and some of the other neat changes are 'leveling up' of your avatar, which unlocks new dances and victory poses (and, apparently achievements). The presentation is much more fluid and lively too. It makes the difference between being in the crowd and being in the mob more apparent. A nice update!

Please God, don't let this come back. I lose all 360 access to my wife when 1 vs. 100 is on.

I enjoyed 1 vs. 100, but found it hard to be home when the live events were happening. While the live show feel is one of the game's strengths, it also makes it kind of inconvenient. Hopefully the new season will have more episodes, or maybe spread them around different time slots.

I never heard the host during the UK shows, which was messed up because I could play US shows fine.

Cheater will be making attempts to either make some hacks. Maybe they must seek refuge <a href="http://www.deorofarmers.com">de oro</a> farmer group so they can at least reflect on not doing it.
