EA Sports zone coming to Home News
MMO PlayStation 3 News by Oli Welsh
Good news for PlayStation Home from the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas - EA has announced its support for the virtual world, starting with a an EA Sports zone this spring.
The EA Sports Complex, "a space designed for both casual and hardcore gamers", will offer some exclusive multiplayer games, daily, weekly and annual leaderboards for EA Sports games, and act as a place to watch trailers and hang out with other EA Sports fans.
The PlayStation Blog has a video which shows poker and a simple motor-racing game taking place within Home, as well as what looks like a golf course. It won't be the first third-party game space to open in Home, but it certainly looks like the biggest and most ambitious.
EA is also working on "further label support" of the Home beta and says it will announce its plans soon.
"We're proud to support the PlayStation Home Beta with a very robust offering from EA Sports," said Sports king Peter Moore.
"As part of our continued commitment to the connected experience and the digitization of our business, the EA Sports Complex is a rich new online environment that presents a compelling and immersive social gaming experience for the global sports audience."

"For those times when using a lobby for multiplayer games is just too convenient use the Ea Sports Zone in Home!"

as long as theres something to do there thats free it'll be worthwhile. i begrudge paying for stuff that should be free, clothes and furniture in home and themes/gamerpics on xbl, just stinks of a ripoff imo

Nice blog! More people should read it. If you want, you can register your blog . .It is free and and it automatically updates when you do an update, so visitors of our site can see when you updated your blog. The big advantage is that it will attract much more visitors to your blog.

Protential to be a great thing.
A hub/meeting point for other EA sports fans would be my primary interest, the mini games from the vid look like fun. i like the look of that l'il racing game, poker is a no brainer anyway, tbh id be suprised sony havn't been flooded with offers allready from online poker organisations trying to muscle in. Rewards and the like, be nice if it worked in the same manner as their ea avatar points system, aka 5000 points or whatever got you a nice replica shirt. I play nhl09 so it'd be kinda cool wondering around the room in a avalance shirt, other nhl fans would know from the get go you're a nhl player, challenge/invite you to friends lists games/leagues ect... it'd take something on offer like that to get me hooked into 'buying' other stuff. |
