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!

metsgaming4695d ago

Will vita support home does anyone know?

sinncross4695d ago

No word on that, but I think it will. Since you can sign onto the PSN via via with your current PS3 PSN account, and the idea of cross platform functionality between PS3/ PSV, it only makes sense to put Home onto PSV. I actually think that Sony may and try include Home as part of PS SUite so that Android users can use the service as well.

nitrogav4695d ago

Sinncross , think you are onto something good there . I think psn home would be awesome on Vita and android too . Hope they do both .

Close_Second4695d ago

Probably will but you'll need to buy a memory card. Damn it Sony. Vita needed built in storage. If you launch a game in home on Vita you'll need to take out the memory card and put in one with the game on it. Dumb.

You Noob4695d ago (Edited 4695d ago )

i just want MMO style game, without loading times before every map!!!!!!

is it really that hard??

ginsunuva4695d ago

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.

Close_Second4695d ago

I wanted more gameplay elements like sims or second life. Home is just a big virtual ad.

Solo2274695d ago

Sony bullshitted on everything they promised.. So they figure if we just keep adding mini games maybe ppl would come...

Completely forgetting the fact that we cant even use voice chat(last time I checked)

And I dont want a personal space if I cant share my content with them... Its pointless...

"hey guys look at the mini game cabinet i paid money for... Its just like the free one you gotta stand in line for in the lobby..."

Sony dropped the ball with HOME... It really coulda been special..

Redempteur4695d ago

how mny month did you check ?

voice chat is back since ages .. there are guidelines for using it but it's back for everyone.

"hey guys look at the mini game cabinet i paid money for... Its just like the free one you gotta stand in line for in the lobby..."

except it's not . the paid games are getting omre complex and most of them are offeringr rewards for players ( a perfect escuse to invit people at your personnal space)

and last time i checked sodium one, or two are NOT mini games ..

@ginsunuva
the lines have mostly disapeared .. you can now queue your games.
If there is too many people on a game but that's usually not the case since now the game selection is bigger.

JayD-1K4695d ago

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!

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

-Foxtrot218d 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

zeuanimals218d 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-Fly217d ago

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

darthv72218d ago

...in VR2 would be awesome as well.

Godmars290218d ago

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

Tacoboto218d 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

ChiefofLoliPolice218d ago

Agreed wholeheartedly. Playstation Home was amazing!

ThEusAisPoisonous218d ago

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

Ashunderfire86218d ago

Second Life did that before everyone.

1Victor217d 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_drake218d ago

it really was.

miss it.
it had alot of potential.

Inverno218d 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_Suzumiya217d ago

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

Elda218d ago

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

Jin_Sakai218d ago

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

OptimusDK217d 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_Sakai217d ago (Edited 217d ago )

@OptimusDK

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

__SteakDeck__217d ago

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

Majors218d 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.

SullysCigar892d ago

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

Silly gameAr892d ago

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

bouzebbal891d 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..

excaliburps891d 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_cheese891d ago

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

Lore890d 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

GoodGuy09892d 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.

boing1891d ago

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

Darkborn891d 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.

OptimusDK891d 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!

Godmars290891d 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.

Nitrowolf2891d 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

891d ago
EvertonFC890d ago

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

Mr_cheese891d ago

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

There will be something for everybody.

Godmars290891d 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.
