48

I don't think this is the best strategy. Given that a majority of Japan does not participate in online gaming, what does he know about how the online community will being happy with what's produced?

I believe his move is more detrimental than helpful.

1.4 - @ Tempist
Your comment struck me as kind of odd. I think Kaz knows a little bit about the video game industry as a whole. I don't he was picked for his position because of his good looks.

I for one agree with his decision, and am sick of hearing everyone whine that "I want it now" like a bunch of bratty kids. If it got released and didn't work correctly, it is these same people who would pound their fists screaming, "why would they put out if it doesn't work right; this sucks." The same thing goes for games.

Relax. You'll get it when it is ready. And frankly, I don't want it until it is ready.

i.e.

I'm sorry folks, but home hasn't lived up to my (nor anyone else's) expectations of what it could achieve. Originally planed as an integral part of the PS3 experience, it will not not be released until late in the console's lifecycle and will have minimal support from developers (who have not bothered to develop for home for their exising games as hardly anyone can take advantage of it), trophies/accomplishments only for a select few games, and a very small user base after the initial hype dies down (because it surely would be better to have a quick and easy interface to join games with friends, keep a record of your accomplisments than an interactive world).

I am very disappointed in home, for the main reason, that whilst I don't mind the delays themselves, it WILL mean that there WON'T be support for home in many games AT ALL. And if you think content will be added after home releases, I ask you, does COD4 have rumble yet?

2.1 - Ok.
It`s **FREE**, it`s NOT complete and you have the nerve to say it hasn`t lived up to ANYONES expectations? That`s pretty f**ked up. Everyone I know who is in the BETA loves it. Wait till it comes out, since it`s **FREE** they can`t bring it out whenever they want, 2010 for all I care, then D/L it FOR **FREE** and then give you impressions. Don`t like it delete it. To seriously whine about something like HOME that`s **FREE**. Until then, don`t be such a @ss about it. Since it`s **FREE**, their doing us a FAVOR by even trying it.

3 - In-game XMB/Messaging
Will we have to wait for Kaz's approval before we get the much anticipated feature for the PS3? I hope we don't have to wait for stupid Home to get In-game XMB, that would be disappointing.

This is just another way of saying they don't have a release date. I stopped anticipating it along time ago but now I'm just starting to feel insulted. Home was supposed to release in 07 and now it's looking more and more like 09. I'm fine with it getting here when it gets here but stop predicting release dates when you clearly have no clue as to when it's going to be ready. Give us updates, provide new videos and details but stop telling us when you "think" it's going to be ready. "it won't open until he's happy with it", just another way of saying it's going to be delayed.

When it comes out, it doesn`t cost ANYTHING. Them just trying it and making it FREE, is AMAZING on Sony`s part. IMO anyway.

People who keep being told that it is coming in Fall 07, and then Spring 08, and then Winter 08 and then "when he's satisfied with it" care. I agree, it's done when it's done, and I would much rather have a finished smooth running product over something that was released early and is half broken, but enough with the damn date changes. It's ready when it's ready, leave it at that and don't mention anything else about the release until it's ready to go.

this proves they should've never forced Kutaragi-san from his position. HOME would've been out in April and we'd be playing KILLZONE II and LBP demos right now. Not to mention ACE COMBAT 6!!!

Cellius, Anyone???????

6.2 - Well, in his defense -
Kaz has a penchant for being a perfectionist of sorts, as he should be; now in the absence of Ken and Phil, all of the weight is squarely on his shoulders and he knows it. Although the mere thought of HOME almost makes me angry, I have no doubt that it will be "diamond quality" upon it's public release if Kazuo has anything to do with it (obviously).

btw - does anyone on Earth have any idea wth is going on with Cellius? & oh yeah, I didn't push disagree. 8D

maybe they ANNOUNCED to many features that they wanted but cant seem to get them working right. alot of the stuff they PROMISED did sound pretty good. maybe they announced these features BEFORE they actually got them up an running an now their having a helluva time getting them to work.

We will be happy. Rather than shipping us something that they know full well is broken just to rush it to the consumer, they are waiting until is is working well and a finished product. Kudos for taking the initiative for maing it work, the first time around.

I think by delaying home they can get rid of some of those bugs which i myself have seen in the beta of home therefore making home a better and stable build
