GameGuideDog speaks with Matt Harper dev and manager of the Playstation Home community about the new developments, Welcome Back details, and what's in store for PS Home users this year.
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!
The update looks like it was really needed. Multiplayer FPS? sounds good to me on PS Home, specially when you can get that snotty rude ass kid into a game and frag the *$&k out of him!
Will vita support home does anyone know?
i just want MMO style game, without loading times before every map!!!!!!
is it really that hard??
I wanted home to be a social world, not a minigame collection that I have to go to 400 different spaces for...and wait in lines.
I'm still surprised at how many people don't know that you can launch in regular games from HOME! It's like a huge party system. And when every body is done with the game, it takes you back to the HOME/ club house(if that's where you came from)
The group chat function is way better than the telephone option when you're talking to you club members or the group you joined!
