Moore "disappointed" by Home delay - Peter Moore takes a swipe at Sony for their delay of Home

Old habits die hard in gaming it seems, as former Xbox boss Peter Moore couldn't resist taking a swipe at one old sparring partner this week, expressing dismay at the ongoing delay of Sony's Home service for PlayStation 3.

The EA Sports president's comments came less than 24 hours after PlayStation boss Kaz Hirai apologised again for the latest delay to Sony's ambitious online social networking project, with a release now set for this autumn.

Asked by Eurogamer whether, now no longer a direct rival, he was interested in working with Home, Moore said: "Yeah; I just wish it would ship. I [previously] questioned it a little bit, whether I'd want to wander around there. Phil Harrison showed me a demo - it's very cool, but let's go already. And so I'm disappointed that it's been pushed back a little bit again.

Home delay 10X more dissapointing than KZ2. KZ2 delay to me is perfect. Lots of games coming out around the same time, best to space things out. From sept to dec sony has to squeeze socom, motorstorm, LBP and resistance 2. Those are just the ones with locked release dates as well. Other games will also be coming in from Sony JP. 2008 was just too crowded for KZ2.

I really wish home will come out already though. Just hope developers grasp it and run with it properly

This is coming from a man that ditched 3 unsuccessful systems that were not able to be #1 sellers and now he can't even lead EA the way to a true next-gen Madden. Peter Moore should work on his agenda before he trashes someone elses.

How is Moore taking a swipe at Sony? Yes he is disappointed but if anything he is complementary of Home. People are reading a lot into a whole lot of nothing.

2.2 - Peter Moore should know better than to make any comments on Sony delaying anything......
He is now running EA and we all know how bad EA have gotten over the last few years. How many of their games are released full of bugs and glitches becuaes of the rush to release them? He is hardly the man to hire to sort these out now, is he?

I wonder if Peters appointment at EA was a good idea? This man was involved with MS and the 360 when it was lauched. How much input did he have in rushing that console out? Look at the hardware failier rate when he was at the helm.

2.4 - never have, never will
Although with home being free im probably not going to play play that. My purchases going off what i know is being released in the future are Haze, MGS4, R2, KZ2, maybe lbp. GT5 ff13, wipeout hd and motorstorm2. maybe dark sector if i get time.

What do we have coming to fill the gap between mgs4 and r2? it looks like a blank spot on the calender.

Completely agree with Yanikins. The only EA game I own is Burnout and that's cos someone bought it for me as a present. I couldn't give a crap about Fifa and I'd rather watch paint dry than play an american foot(?)ball game.

I'd rather wait for a decent game than the same old sh!t that EA drags out year on year but hey, I'm sorry if I have standards. Now if someone who can actually make decent games were to say then perhaps it would be worth listening to. This smarmy prick from One of the worst developers ever, isn't worth the time of day.

Shame he doesn't adopt their work ethics rather than bash them. Delays are done for the player/users benefit, how many EA titles could of done with a delay? A lot.

Sony would rather wait and release it right, than cash in now and release patch after patch to get it up to scratch.

EA the joke of the industry, maybe they should look at themselves before pointing fingers.

Delaying it wont make it perfect. Delaying it will only piss people off. It's a piece of software, there will ALWAYS be bugs.

Are you a beta tester? I have friends who are and I have played on/watched Home in action first hand. Currently its no where near ready for release, it would just be a joke, and bashed to extinction.

Yes there will be bugs whenever its release, but obviously they're going to try and iron out the majority of them first, at least the big ones. People dont appreciate having to download patches/fixes everyday.

If they would put more resources into it, Home would be out by now.

The people that have owned a Sony VAIO know. Sony's proprietary software can really suck sometimes.

EA should try releasing something only when its finished and ready for the public.

Their "we'll fix it later" attitude has sadly caught on in this internet enabled console world. Buying games unfinished is quickly becoming the norm as playtesting and bug finding take a back seat.

Its almost the the point where we should be calling games we bought Retail Beta's and we pay to be play testers so we can report glitches which they fix when they get around to it.

5.1 - Retail Betas - Nice description....
COD4 comes to mind with that post. Game never worked properly for me. I emailed Activision and Infinity Ward yet they never sorted it. Frustratedly waiting for a patch to come out and when it does it still doesn't address the problem.

EA are the masters when it come to this kind of customer service and the releasing of a barely finished product.

That's the way it goes.. or seems to go with PS3. Without all these delays PS3 might have been able to kick 360 over the board ages ago.

Or without the delays the games may have been so poor the PS3 might of already failed.

All depends on how you look at it, but either way, delays are done for our BENEFIT.

The console would actually work. Idiot. Go to the open zone.

I can see where some might take his comment as a swipe against the guys at Sony but perhaps it was not that at all. He had been shown first hand what Home is like and with that in mind, perhaps he is bummed it's not out yet. I know I am!

If the sh*t isn't done, it isn't done. If they launch it now people will only b*tch and moan about having only half of the promised functionality and it would do nothing but garner negativity. Remember what happened when the MGO beta got crashed by demand and we were delayed 5 days? It'd be like that on a massive scale, hell EA could stand a few QA delays themselves. ..

That's what I like about PS brand. It's been a long wait though.

If they released it tomorrow and with any flaws, people would be tearing Sony a new one.

Some will probably do that whenever it's released, regardless of its condition. But that's another story...

13 - You guys are paranoid.
Mr. Moore supports all 3 consoles now. He retracts previous statements, says it "very cool" and wishes it would ship. As a developer now, he also has inside knowledge in what Home can do and wants those features available to incororate into games. What more do you guys really want? He just hyped up the product for you.

you sony only guys really are PATHIC, this guy in no way BASHED sony or home he just hate the fact that it was delayed an delayed for so long. remember home was SUPPOSED to launch in late 07 now its late 08. you guys know that sony dangled that in front of you promised you it was close when they KNEW it wasnt. what were they showing. HOME, LBP, Haze, MGS4 an in-game XMB. ALL WHICH HAVE BEEN DELAYED but you guys wanna call this guy an idiot an bash him. you pointing your anger at the wrong people. but I know, in you guys eyes SONY CAN DO NO WRONG!!

yanikins111 - 602 days 8 hours ago
16.1 - Home and LBP
I cant say much about, but after seeing trailers for mgs4, and playing the haze demo i dont care that these games have been delayed. They are looking uber cool. Was mgs4 even delayed? And how are these delays sonys fault. Only Home and KZ2 (yeah go on.... bring that one up. Oh what? It looks like god orgasmed ps3 code onto a bluray disc? It might have been worth the delays? Damn sraight!) The devs and the publishers are to blame, not sony.

What pisses me off are the irate teenagers who haven't been taught the art of patience. They are just games. Stop whinging like a bunch of spoilt brats. The only thing worse than whinging teenagers is a whinging adult. Act your f'ing age.

He shouldn't worry about when Home is coming out, he should be spending his time making sure good quality games come out this year from EA because the only good game that EA made last year was Crysis.

im not disappointed with HOME delays.

Im happy with what Sony got to do. They do not want to full into failures when it releases.

There are so much to do with your PS3. So many games. So many movies etc etc

More disappointed with Moore who has yet to show off that he can lead EA to become a decent developer and develop equally for both consoles. Lack of leadership right there.

what he said wasn't all too bad. it actually seems like he's taken a liking to home and only disappointed to not have the full product right now. but a person in his position should realize the implication of a rushed product shooting oneself in the foot.

25 - never been a big fan of HOME
but if they make game related lobbys i can see how that could be kinda cool. The Warhawk War Room sounded like a very cool idea that has not been done b4

thats the reason i can wait for HOME

Its not like XBL is the bees knees

If it didnt crash and if it was free it might just be

Till XBL can play a game of the speed and size of Warhawk then i would say its worth paying. Gamerscore is not worth my money

Well your opinion doesn't count to Sony. I'm sure Xbox 360 owners are a little disappointed by RRoD too.
