Sony Delivers Home Features Video

It's almost here... I know, we've been knocking at the Sony door and no-one has been in, but the promise is out there and they can't take it back - Home will be released this year.

After watching the video, it's obvious that the community has been unfairly judging Home, calling it a Nintendo or Second Life rip-off... This couldn't be further from the truth.

awesome video...i love the fact that sony has taken what online gaming is now and instead of just replicating it in their own little way they are taking it another step with home and are really innovating and establishing what online gaming will be for the future

Masta_fro5721d ago

give me the dam thing...jesus

Overr8ed5721d ago

not bad, but I do hope they have more games to play IN HOME.

whoelse5721d ago

This is a very good sign! Sony are starting to hype up the service therefore the Open Beta can't be too far away now.

nice_cuppa5721d ago

that wasn't boring at all !

im really losing interest in home !

i hope it doesn't get in the way !

it just seems such a slow way of doing things !

ThatCanadianGuy5721d ago

Of course its stupid and pointless.
Because its not on 360 right?

juuken5721d ago

If it was on the 360, it would have been praised as the second coming. -___-

Who are you trying to kid? N4G users or yourself? You were never interested in HOME. Go home.

juuken5721d ago (Edited 5721d ago )

Not interested so much in HOME but I must say that was very impressive gaming community display.

Kill Crow5721d ago

exactly like second life to me

... furniture placement OMFG that's sooo cool

MaximusPrime5721d ago

sony planned Home for a long time even before Second life. i would call this a second life ripoff

Kill Crow5721d ago

...help dude.

next thing you'll say is that Sony invented consoles, online gaming, toast, and every other cool thing ... and everything else is a cheap immitation ....

To Quote Phil Harrison

"I think you’re way oversimplifying by suggesting Second Life and Home are the same. In Home, you get a character and a 3D world, and that’s where the similarity ends... Home is about entertainment, it has a game focus, and it’s about sharing with a like-minded community. We don’t give users the level of influence over the environment, behaviour and object definitions that Second Life does – it’s as secure as any other PS3 game..."

OK so wow, it's Game oriented.

What is it still ... a 3D virtual world where users can customise crap and meet other people to show off their 3D virtual customised crap.

Hmmmmm .... Sounds awefully like second life to me

I'm not trying to troll or piss anyone off ... it's just my opinion that I don't think this or xbox avatards are anything great ... They don't add ANYTHING to online gaming at all and just make the whole experience more tedious.

I bet you can't point ONE single thing about Home that is so exceptionaly brilliant it will revolutionalise online in the way it is being hyped?

EDIT: and if the facts you were refering to are about sony planning home before SL, just what the hell is that supposed to mean. I don't really care which one was planned first, but second life has been going for years ... Home has been delayed for years ....

I knew all of those things. I'll add one that many dont know (if you are a hardware person you do). you CAN actually swap bluray drives between systems. The drives themselves are interchangeable but the board that interfaces is not. So anyone who has a dead optical drive can just get a replacement and swap the interface board and be back to reading discs in no time. I've had to do this myself on both a 20gb B01 as well as a 40gb L01 unit.

you can also replace the spinning hdd with an SSD for improved (not life changing) performance as well as quieter and cooler system reliability. The physical spinning drives draw more current and generate heat as a result. Using an SSD means no moving parts and thus will have less current draw and reduced fan noise from not having to spin as much as usual to offset any heat generated by the spinning hdd.

shinoff21832h ago

I never even thought of that. If I can ever track down a reasonable true backward compatibility one the first thing I'll do is ssd it up.

Skuletor13h ago

Took my PS3 out the other week and plugged it in, it has the Red Light of Death. RIP

Knightofelemia11h ago

Still one of my favorite Playstations next to the Playstations that came before it and after it.

shinoff21832h ago(Edited 2h ago)

You missed some great games then. Especially the variety. Ps3 lacked compared to before and after.

It had great games but it lacked compared to every other ps system. The variety went out the window. Game budgets got higher that's when developers stopped taking chances. Indies weren't quite going full speed like the ps4 generation. It's my least favorite of all the Playstation. Also jrpgs disappeared like a mf, there were some but sht compared to previous gens.
