This one came out of nowhere. Apparently, a THIRD edition of the Family Feud DVD game is being released this August with John O’Hurley taking the helm. O’Hurley and Howie Mandel will be appearing together at the American International Toy Fair on Sunday promoting Imagination’s DVD games, including this one.

Hey all! Yes, I should have posted about this earlier, but I was at the taping when the intros for this game were made. The taping occured on Sunday, January 7th right after the normal day of taping. All throughout the time I was there, the producers wanted the audience to stick around for a special surprise at the end of the day. When taping concluded, they explained that a new DVD game would be hitting the shelves soon, and they wanted live shots of the stage, audience and O’Hurley. We took dozens of takes of the audience clapping and cheering as loud and as long as we could for the director. The best part was, was when we finished one set of clapping, the director would prompt: “Ok everybody! That was perfect! Let’s do it again!” Poor John even had to do his entrance about three or four times before the director was satisfied. From what we did at the taping, this DVD game is setting up to be the best version of the Feud DVD games yet. As I said, the DVD will contain live action shots of the set, audience and O’Hurley. The two team logos, Team A and Team B were projected onto the screens where the family name would be as well. After about what seemed like 100 takes, the director released the audience but kept O’Hurley to do game play and his spiel by himself with no audience. Make sure when you buy this game, you look for me in a dark shirt in the third row up front, all the way to the right! This game should be a good one!

This is great to hear indeed!
The most recent FF game for the PC was mediocre at best, so one that features the new set, John O Hurley, and, hopefully, better gameplay will be well received by game show fans, at the very least.
Now, if they can get a new WOF game with the updated rules and set released, that’ll REALLY make my day… :D

Speaking of Wheel and J!, I actually have worked on the latest Wheel and J! games at SONY few months ago.
I really can’t nor do want to say much right now because I’m hoping they will want me for another contract job on their next game. What I will say is that Wheel and J! Online will be updated and the full download version is more enhanced modes; 3d characters with easier customizing, an updated wheel with the mystery round spaces at $1000, TOSS-UPs. Same goes for Jeopardy!; enhanced graphics and modes.

…. bottom line, it is MUCH better than the Wheel and J! that is online right now.
