IGN - Hardcore PlayStation Home fans are using unique methods to resurrect the divisive social space 6 years after its death. This is the Inside Story of the fans who refuse to let PlayStation Home die.
Other "game-type metaverse" projects in the works
Would love PlayStation Home 2 on PS5 with seamless transitions between different areas.
There's still IMVU and Second Life but they're not quite like PS Home. Btw folks the Home restoration project is still going and they have brought Home back online through the PS3 emulator. So if y'all interested in goin back HOME there's that.
As good as it was It missed the opportunity of becoming huge... Imagine if just eat or similar and you could order food from within checking out menus of local restaurants, Or items direct from Amazon etc whilst in shop in game checking out the items in real time, or even clothes from your favourite shops. The thing could have been Enormous ! I realise it could be dangerous in over spending but hell kids max out parents cards on fortnite, just need to keep control of them.
The new loyalty program PlayStation Stars boasts an array of rewards, many of which would be perfect for a display in a reboot of PlayStation Home.
Thanks to the Destination Home Team working in tandem with the PSOne Emulation Team, PlayStation Home is back online this 2021 on the PS3.
Ah yes good times. I remember bowling, making psn friends, dance parties, flirting with girls, and pretending to be a girl with hoards of dudes following me lol. I even created eu and jp accounts because they had their own unique hub area and game spaces. It was just dumb fun.
I still think the ps5 is getting it with London studio making an "online game" they keep posting. They also have experience making VR games so who knows. It would be amazing as a free game packed with the psvr2.
HOME was a broken mess last time, and it still makes no sense now. This whole META verse hype - i just dont see it. VR or not makes no difference. We are far off!
Lots of fond memories of PS Home. I think the concept was great but at the moment Sony didn't have the social architecture for it. A new take taking advantage of modern social medía features would be cool.
The E3 that presented Home was the best. God of War 2 had just released, Home looked fun, LBP blew everyone away, And MGS4 was getting ready to blow the doors off the PS3
In hindsight, PS Home would be a perfect getaway from current pandemic situation around the world.
The first time I played PlayStation Home, I was totally lazy and didn't make my own character because I just wanted to see how the game was. My default character was a girl. So many dudes were hitting on me and flirting with me just because my character was a girl. It was so funny. Lol
Home was 2+ generations ahead of it times
