Exclusive Home Beta gameplay footage

Dutch gaming website PS3-Sense posted a video of Playstation Home. The video shows a few new spaces. Hit the jump for more.

[M4GN3T]

Wow great video!

[pharmd]

definitely looks interesting.... im anxious to see this come to life on my own TV :D

[SolidAhmed]

what an improvement

thank you sony

please we need to see it soon

[MaximusPrime]

one word : WOW

[Amanosenpai]

HOME + GTA4 free running movements...

[Vojkan]

I almost fall a sleep. Really HOME is not my thing, i respect Sony for making it and it being free. I only care for XMB in game

[poopsack]

lol whatever floaats your boat, you must not play the sims right?

[Close_Second]

...close to The Sims.

I like the look of home but I just can't seem to get my head around how it will improve gaming for me. However, maybe is doesn't have to as Home does not have to be for everyone. I will check it out once it's released and who knows, maybe I'll get hooked.

My biggest concern I do have for Home is how will it perform in a country like NZ where broadband is still iffy (especially in the evenings when everyone seems to jump on-line) and we don't have dedicated gaming Servers for PSN. Hell, I do speed checks (www.speedtest.net) in the evenings against NZ based servers, most nights I'm down to 400kbps - resulting in a Playstation store that crawls along (NB: the same test performed during AM hours and prior to about 4:30pm yields speeds of around 3.5Mbps). Doing the same speed test against overseas servers (e.g. Australia) in the evenings can yield speeds slower than dialup....grrr.

Let us hope that Beta testers have been talking and Sony have been listening because speed, variety, flexibility, support and integration are all key to this working for Sony. Let's hope that there is some kind of real common sense and focus behind the development of this application.

Who knows what we could end up with? Maybe some sort of leveling system with privileges based on gamer score perhaps? Game trophies to include items such as T-shirts, hats, item coupons?

They should be looking at everything online that makes people brag and compete and use it!

Game launching needs to be quick, useful, dynamic and entertaining to be a success. I really hope that they pull it off in the end...

We will have to wait and see ;)

I kind of agree that I do like the look of Home but can't see how it would improve gaming for me.

I mean if I wanted to chat to a friend I would rather do it in a game playing co-op or multiplayer or something instead of just stading around in Home.

I can see how it would improve gaming for the guys that are in clans since they can easily get together in Home and meet in their spaces.

At the next comment

That's kind of what I want to see. Say now I buy Burnout Paradise I want things like a t shirt with Burnout on it available to wear and when I reach 100% I want a silver and black elite t shirt to wear. And you can unlock other stuff the further you progress.

Another thing I want to see in Home are spaces for developers so I can say go to Insomniac's own space and watch exclusive videos of Resistance 2 and maybe they can host live chats with the developers in Home. That would be interesting to join in.

Home is like a 3D gaming site, why do you come here for video games? In PlayStation Home you're able to talk to people in real time of what you see instead of doing this text thing. Basically that's what Home really is a 3D world where gamers can connect, share, and communicate. It's like how come people make video blogs or text blogs on website instead of just talking in person? On the internet things can spread a lot faster and can have a wider audience then a couple of people in the conversation.

People come here to communicate, share, and maybe connect if there is a friends list. You can also think of it like a 3D virtual experience of the PlayStation Network.

[Train-Traxs]

[poopsack]

[Mr_Kuwabara]

No veo na p*ñ*ta! =P

[Forbidden_Darkness]

i wish i was in the home beta...

[Cop_Boy]

Home is great , in fact its bloody awesome and gonna be a huge social network but tbh Im really disappointed by the delays , I need it now , come on Sony at least an open beta ??

[Mikelarry]

i cant deny it anymore i want home realy bad. not for the running around and creating new avatars. but some of the better features this application will come with.

[UnSelf]

i just wanna be the only brwonskin avatar in the Home network, maybe then no one'll come in my rooms or they'll leave when i enter a room. Uh oh i just had a vision of a bunch of online users wit white hoods as avatars. (gulp) plz dont take my trophies

[Blackcanary]

Dude just to let u know i'm mixed race half english half african so my character will be brown skined.

[BilI Gates]

Can you guys believe that we're getting this for free? Haha. =)

Great looking graphics too. Very nice lighting.

[Zeevious]

I heard somewhere that's enough for anybody!

Right Bill?

lol

[Maverick_]

And just the fact that it's never going to stop expanding! I can't wait, Home FTW!

Sorry to ask...but bubbles please if anyone can help! : (

[stennexxx]

I got my update. Look out xboxlive. This was an amazing insight into what will possibly become the norm. Ubisoft Day room was done up with screens and posters of new games coming out this Holiday. It was easy to roam around and view the entire room. I think that Home is what we need when waiting on games to come out. Great potential especially for developers to keep communicating with us the gamers on a 3D virtual level. I ow have high hopes for Home.

[highdro]

graphics look good,...i hope they relase this this year and not delay it,........it will be intresting to create my own place and share it with people while wee play a game of MGS4 ONLINE =D

[aaquib]

In Game XMB + Home + Free vs. In-game Dashboard + 2D + $50/year

Hmm.......

The War is Over.
Play B3YOND.

[BilI Gates]

This war ended before it even started. Sony always wins the console wars.

[Cop_Boy]

man i love that f*ckin avatar ,,, seriously ,,,,,

anyway yeah Home is gonna be great , I bet its gonna surprise everyone

[Whoooop]

Update with new link??? anyone?

[Whoooop]

EDIT: Here's a link to the site where it was uploaded to:

[juuken]

Um...it's a wrap folks!

[Gun_Senshi]

lame contributer system!

I tried posting this 1 hourish ago and I was unable coz I posted 5 news already :(

[stennexxx]

Based on rules of privacy this will be my last post about Home for now so as to avoid being excluded from the beta test.

P.S. Home Rules!

[Mikelarry]

we beta tester should stick together. lol do share more info about home they cant find us lol

[Varsarus]

Wow.

[aiphanes]

Did you see that water? About the only thing they need to do now is when you step through the water it should slash....No other online world looks as good and HOME at the moment...and HOME still have about 4 months to go before open beta...

[rosebowl23]

wow home is incredible

[BSigel81]

Home is going to be the norm, when it comes to waiting on games(which will not be very often with the content that is coming). I really hope I can get in the extended closed beta, but like everyone else the XMB was my biggest hold up. So, when it gets here its here, until then see you on MGO and company.

[Mikelarry]

the video again. someone tell the dude that keeps sign in and out should make up is mind

[BSigel81]

I seen that too, was the guys who kept signing in, trying to get publicity for their accounts lol 8D

[Mikelarry]

what ppl will do to get 5 mins of fame.

[wangdiddy82]

is going to be better than most games.. lol.. I can see a lot of people getting addicted to this..

[pp]

Hahaha that was crap

[doshey]

hahaha so is ur ng2

[MaximusPrime]

yea your rite, you are crap

[Varsarus]

pp, you obviously are a retarded little boy, some people will say Home looks better than your beloved Gears 2.

[juuken]

...Do you even know what it is?

[Bzone24]

It's like Second Life where ps3 fans can go to an imaginary place where they have games to play and have friends.

[PSMonster21]

The 360 has no home... it burnt it down.

[butterfinger]

Home really does seem like a good idea, especially when you consider The Sims is the best selling franchise in video game history. For the people that don't like it, you don't have to pay for it or anything, so there's not really a big risk in trying out when it becomes available. I'm so ready to finally have a HOME:)

[Train-Traxs]

Why is there no one else in home for the entire video.

[MaximusPrime]

i guess it is a closed beta. not many people are using the same internet connection.

[Cd311290]

I had no idea home was that big! I really cant wait for it, bringing up the PSP for all your options is really cool and i saw the bad company demo in there?

[rbanke]

How do you have 'Exclusive home beta GAMEPLAY footage' of something that isnt a game?

All those that think home is a game, are going to be dissapointed.

[Stinkey]

love the song too DEFENSE!

[Kain81]

E3, TGS, German Games Convention, GDC, Capcomdays and other Events presented in Home
Lke the UBIdays========= http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Kain81]

WOW

[jackel 92]

I can see how people will enjoy this, but as for myself that is a different story. I will probable be exited for 4 days, then bored.

[40cal]

And enter the Matrix. HOME only on Playstation 3.

[PSMonster21]

Home... only on the PS3. PLAY B3YOND!

[resistance100]

Home is beging to impress me again, hopefully it will be out sooner rather than later!

[Bolts]

The load time is too freaking long. If I have to endure epic load time to go from one area to the next Home is gonna suck.

[livespawn]

i have a home... lol, na but seriously this does look cool

[Ortiz83]

Yeah I think the load time is long. But it is in the early stages still...

[Meresin]

I like that the in-Home menu is implemented as a PSP. That's pretty hot.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

Have you sony guys ever played the sims? You can use the bathroom and even have a job. Will home have a job to pay the bills?

[BAM-BAM01]

I fail to see what is new about that video??
All the apartments are the same the square is the same, the only thing i see is different is the avatar.
Its all the same...

[TrevorPhillips]

looks amazing cant wait home is just getting better and better !

[KYU2130]

anyone know if you will be able load directly into Home instead of logging in to your PS3 and then going into home. IT WOULD NICE... you can already load right into a game or movie on starup so why not be able to do the sam for Home?
