Well I guess MAG still has plenty of dedicated fans

Trroy5037d ago (Edited 5037d ago )

Player numbers have actually started rising a bit recently, possibly due to the new features and game modes... not sure.

The upcoming clan wars and three-team game modes and maps may bump the player count even more.

ThanatosDMC5037d ago

They're from MW2 and BC2. A bunch have friended me and got back and forth from either games.

Drjft5037d ago

I wish I had a PS3 just to see how this bad boy plays. I never got around to purchasing one though. Damn you to hell money!

Sandwich Bender5037d ago

Don't damn the money to hell! You can't afford to be doing that!

ThanatosDMC5037d ago

Well, you can become a pimp. According to Manswers, you could make $800,000+ per year if you had 6 hoes that make $500+ a day. Yeah, i accidentally watched it and it was funny and stupid and made me wonder.

It is very underrated if u spend 10 hours on this game and don't like it you just don't know a good game..

Spenok5036d ago

Would love PlayStation Home 2 on PS5 with seamless transitions between different areas.

-Foxtrot227d ago

Yeah, although I’m worried if it does come back idiots will say it’s jumping on the metaverae trend not realising it did this years ago

zeuanimals226d ago

They'd have a hard time doing that if it's called Playstation Home 2. That raises the question of what the first one was.

Si-Fly226d ago

You’ll enjoy life much more if you stop worrying about what other people think :)

darthv72227d ago

...in VR2 would be awesome as well.

Godmars290226d ago

Given you're talking about online speeds and connectivity, not the PS5 itself, you're not escaping loading screens.

Tacoboto226d ago

SSD speeds so quick you could open a door in PS Home to walk your Avatar through a portal to launch a game.

They could do something like Peach's Castle in Mario 64 and your library of titles are the portraits

ChiefofLoliPolice226d ago

Agreed wholeheartedly. Playstation Home was amazing!

ThEusAisPoisonous226d ago

You’re being silly. It was stupid as shit.

Ashunderfire86226d ago

Second Life did that before everyone.

1Victor226d ago

@ Jin:” Would love PlayStation Home 2 on PS5 with seamless transitions between different areas.”
I second that plus a vr option added to it

gold_drake227d ago

it really was.

miss it.
it had alot of potential.

Inverno226d ago

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.

Yui_Suzumiya226d ago

I'm interested! I was wondering if that project was still live or not.

Elda226d ago

If he praises it why did Sony shut the app down.

Jin_Sakai226d ago

He just said it was ahead of its time. Super slow HDD made it awful when traversing areas.

OptimusDK226d ago

It was trash 🗑️ and it still is. Walking around to go into stores etc is cringe and makes no sense at all. The hype around metaverse is totally overblown

Jin_Sakai226d ago (Edited 226d ago )

@OptimusDK

You don’t speak for everyone. Many people enjoyed it. But I do agree with the Metaverse being overblown.

__SteakDeck__226d ago

@OptimusDK You don’t know what you’re talking about. This was a good place to meet people.

Majors226d ago

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.

PlayStation Home Is Back Online This 2021 Thanks to Fans

Thanks to the Destination Home Team working in tandem with the PSOne Emulation Team, PlayStation Home is back online this 2021 on the PS3.

SullysCigar900d ago

Now bring it into the PS5 era as a PSVR2 social hub and we're talking!

Silly gameAr900d ago

That would be awesome. Wonder if the fans can pull that off.

bouzebbal900d ago

It was a sad day when they stopped this service.. the community gave them so many good idea they chose not listen.. people want the trophy score to be used in home, or simply get rewards from unlocking the trophies..

excaliburps900d ago

If there was a time to do this, it would be now. Imagine PS Home intergrated with Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, etc. It could work, and open a new revenue stream for Sony, and new earnings potential for influencers, etc.

Mr_cheese900d ago

While I understand why you said it, I hated the idea of everything you just said.

Lore898d ago

And expand on the housing and furniture offerings, allow for quick jump-in to HOME from the startup screen, and integrate a way for unique items to be acquired for games that platinum trophies have been earned in

GoodGuy09900d ago

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.

boing1900d ago

In hindsight, this would have been great in the current climate.

Darkborn900d ago

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.

OptimusDK900d ago

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!

Godmars290899d ago

Far off from VR chat type platforms being on a game console?

Very likely aren't btw, just more the question that if one existed would it support interactive games within itself. Offer flawless launching into other games with a spectator option.

I mean, imagine hosting a DB FighterZ tournament at you lunar mansion where guest can see it in realtime on a massive screen. About the actual level stage with some as DBZ characters commenting while waiting their turn.

Nitrowolf2900d ago

Far off? Lol the virtual spacing has taken off already, since the PS4 era.

Home was released a bit ahead of its time when it should have came out later in the ps4 life cycle instead of 3.it certainly would have found loads more success today than back then

EvertonFC899d ago

HOME was 10 years ahead of its time, dam I miss Xi

Mr_cheese900d ago

VR and the META are here to stay and they're only going to keep on growing.

There will be something for everybody.

Godmars290899d ago

Issue there is META's trademarked by a notorious info miner who plans to lock you out of your own VR rig no matter how much money you've sunk into it.
