    Home is where the art is.

    The graphics look really nice for an app. The animations kinda scare me though, especially the dancing. Can't wait to try it out. I want Lair wings damnit!

  • M83J01P97 #3 5 years ago

    So it's just another way for people to have cyber sex and generally annoy others in a virtual way?

  • lambtron #4 5 years ago

    This does not appeal to me on so many different levels its untrue. However I can see why, for some people, this might be great.

  • kangarootoo #5 5 years ago

    @lambtron

    Lol. Thats about as diplomatic a statement as I think I've ever read on here :)

  • mkreku #6 5 years ago

    Plug in to the Matr.. uh.. Home Network!

  • Steroyd #7 5 years ago

    drooling at the prospect of cross game clan matches. :D

  • Darkedge #8 5 years ago

    looks pretty, pretty vacant and pointless.

  • M83J01P97 #9 5 years ago

    What I don't understand is why Sony couldn't just implement a simple, quick X Box Live style multiplayer experience?

    I for one would much prefer to simple click on a friends name then press invite over loading up some over he top virtual world, running around in order to find my friends, having a 5 minute conversation filled with small talk before finally getting around to starting a game with them...

    but that's just me...

    This thread is useless without a translator :)

  • drunkymonkey #11 5 years ago

    My spaceship is full of eels.

    It does look sorta cool. Having friends come round to your apartment should be nerdy fun. ^^

  • JYM60 #12 5 years ago

    Reminds me of France. :)

    Plus I'm sure they will fix the PSN to work more like Live. It's already pretty close.

    "What I don't understand is why Sony couldn't just implement a simple, quick X Box Live style multiplayer experience?"

    Why would they? That's not where the money's at. MS has been smart to tie its customer base through achievements, gamerscore, etc. It's not that likely that gamers will jump ship just because Sony launches a similar service. If you want Live, buy a 360.

  • slickster #14 5 years ago

    i cant wait for this.and its all FREE.

  • Drew_ #15 5 years ago

    This is looking sweet, cant wait till this is out. ;)

  • smartgun #16 5 years ago

    Looks very slick. Could be amazing.

    Comparisons to Second Life are a bit unfortunate though - despite the better graphics I doubt it'll have a fraction of the freedom to create. My worry is Home will just end up as a marketing space where brands can 'interface' with potential customers.

    Translator not really necessary. My Japanese is far from any better than rudimentary at this point, but nothing this video says that I can understand is news to me...all the usual "dress up your avatar, decorate your house, share stuff with friends, play naff little arcade games, VOIP comms and keyboard chatting, whole new world of entertainment" and so on.

    I'm curious as to how the whole acquiring stuff mechanic. Like, can I pick what my house is like? Can I swap it for another one if I want? Do I have to somehow buy furniture and outfits and so on? With real money, with some in-game "credits", or something else? If it's free, what's to stop me, say, filling my entire house with nothing but hundreds of thousands of potted plants? If, you know, I had a PS3 and found this a more than vaguely intriguing prospect.

  • symmetry #18 5 years ago

    Nice looking gimmick.

  • Moz #19 5 years ago

    Is all looking like it's well put together.
    Be interesting to see how many different mini games will be available.

    Why complaints about it being used asan advertising space? At the end of the day these companies need to make money and as along as that doesn't start to impead games then were is the problem, just means they have more money to develop better games.

    Looks like they've ripped off Test Drive Unlimited in my opinion. What with all the houses you can buy and the club house feature.
    The interiors even look the same, albeit non-configurable in TDU.

    I wonder what Atari make of this.

    Strangest comparison I've ever seen, really.

  • moggsy #23 5 years ago

    i cant wait for this.and its all FREE.

    Nope - it won't be. Want a designer settee? That'll be 50p please. Want a larger apartment. That'll be £5 please etc etc etc.

  • Machetazo #24 5 years ago

    Is it known if you can choose the view you see out the window, or location your home is in? I've seen all kinds of location across the already released footage, but I don't want one of those traditional Japanese houses! :p

  • Triggerhappytel #25 5 years ago

    It looks very nice, and for a MMO-type fairly strong graphics, but for those of us who don't really care about all this is there a way to have a PSN presence and interface without having to fart around in the cyber-world?!

    You know that you don't have to buy these thing. I for one won't. And if my apartment looks like shit I don't as it is only virtual and it'll be unique. :)

  • Golgo #27 5 years ago

    It's a party in GAP and we're all invited!

  • CHAOS_BROON #28 4 years ago

    @Syrok...
    1: get facts before you misguide people that are exited.
    2: your an idiot
    there is going to be a credit system much like gamerscore on xbox, basicaly you unlock stuff in games you unlock x amount of credits, simple but very effective because it gives you another reason to replay old games etc etc and to sandbox. so stfu in future before blabbing crap that you know nothing about.
