don't hate! I'm in the beta and it provides minutes of wasted time.

The only real thing worth looking forward to in home are those flash-like arcade games to play.  Only the Uncharted 2D one in the Uncharted 'game space' is actually good, but the potential (keyword here) for other games to follow could be interesting -- of course there has to be a bad to this, and it's that like real life only one person can play on these virtual arcade machines at once.  This is the actual situation you're looking at in the game: you and a couple other people are waiting for a guy to leave an arcade machine, then as soon as he does, you all have to bum rush the cabinet in hopes of playing.  If you are unable to get to the machine first, you're back to waiting.  WHY?

I still wish they would just scrap this whole Home thing and focus on a more streamlined online interface.

I'm sick to death of this focus on avatars, though.  The NXE coming up soon looks fantastic in every way EXCEPT the f*cking avatars.  It cheapens the look of the interface.  Hopefully they can be disabled.  Home seems even worse.  I blame Nintendo.

It is really something you need to experience.  It feels like a big elaborate joke you're in on, almost like someone from Sony is watching you guys and laughing.

They updated it to 1.0 today (out of beta I think).  I went back in check it out and there are some improvements, pretty much still pointless.  The dumbest shit is that they didn't fix the arcade cabinet issue where only one can play at once.  And there is actually a good arcade game this time, it's just an arcade score based version of Echochrome.  It was actually pretty packed for the most part, well, except the gaf clubroom.

Title: Re: Holy shit if i was a qore annual subscriber i could get invited to a home beta!
Post by: cool breeze on November 21, 2008, 09:45:27 AM

I'm pretty sure Wollan was the neogaf 1 club leader (there had to be two since the first one filled up).  To be fair, he was in the clubroom because he needed to accept new people applying, and if he didn't accept my application right away I probably would haven ever checked out the bumpin' neogaf club room.  I'm still amazed by the bad choices and pointlessness of home.  Sometimes have improved from the beta, like you're now able to download the new locations in the background as you walk around, then a message pops up asking if you want to go there.  Before you had to wait at a loading screen for new areas to load.

The worse part is that the one featured that I was somewhat interested in with home, the game launching thing, didn't seem to work.  This doesn't make sense because the beta let me select it.

And last time I tried it the entire place was empty, but even now that it's packed, the other difference is that people are now talking using voice chat all the time.  Doesn't stop it from feeling like a pointless and lifeless experience.  It also makes arcade machines more difficult to get onto...still the entire idea behind 1 person to an arcade machine is ridiculous

Title: Re: Holy shit if i was a qore annual subscriber i could get invited to a home beta!
Post by: cool breeze on November 21, 2008, 12:30:03 PM

I don't know if he needed to be in the club room to accept people or not, but he was there, so it could have been a coincidence.  No clue how many people can be in a club, I'm not about to go back in to check, but there were about 3 people in that club room besides me and Wollan and the 'current member' list had around 20 or so (before it was full).

Also, the actual home launch icon is no longer with other games and now right above the playstation life item in the internet menu with it's own icon.  They also seemed to remove the two game spaces they had up (uncharted and far cry 2) to, I'm assuming, fit them for 1.0.

The only useful feature is that it acts as a party mode, but this feature isn't up yet.  Basically you can start up a game and others can join in from home, you all launch the game together and go straight into a game, then when you quit out you're back in the club house and can move right into another game.

can't be stressed enough that home is a failure....  if it was ready at launch, it would garner some oohs and aaaahs, but Sony should just drop it and suck up their losses.  Nobody will ever be interested in an elaborate 3D menu.

So, does Home still allow you to use the features without actually stepping into the Home application? When they announced it, they declared that the virtual world would be an optional feature, with all the community features available from the XMB. Is this still true?

Title: Re: Holy shit if i was a qore annual subscriber i could get invited to a home beta!
Post by: cool breeze on November 21, 2008, 04:37:18 PM

So far, no.  The quickest you can do it now is jump to the game, have your friends jump to your place (you can teleport anywhere if you want to avoid walking), then start up the game menu through the gui.  No quick menu in the PS3 XMB.

Worse (for the most part) and better.  Worse in that you guys can't talk while playing different games, better in that it supports more people.

Apparently the point of home is to find friends to play with, which is basically a useless feature if you post on a message board, but yeah...Well, that and wasting time doing other boring tasks there.  It's actually part that whole networking thing and half a glorified lobby, but since hte lobby aspect isn't there, it's just not appealing at all.

I guess having more people is neat. But not a need. The fact that you can do that shit now. On Xbox when its taken Sony years to do is embarassing.


Sonys biggest issue is they keep adding fluff, crap, garbage to home. Home spaces. Arcade machines, Places to form "warhawk strategies" instead of the basic stuff people want. Which is what Microsoft did.

you're really not missing anything.  The only fun bit now is playing Echochrome in the arcade, and the Uncharted 2D game was also fun, but they took that out since the Uncharted game space isn't there.

home is such a waste.  I know people were saying things like Eight Days was canned because it didn't look good, but from I could tell it seemed interesting, and when Sony continues to fund home I can only wonder if they have a good sense of what quality is.

it reserves 3 gb of space, not downloads

bebpo   :-\

Hmmm...so no long install to play?  I guess I will try it then.

The code Namco gave me for their items doesn't work >_<

I got this namco thing working and I'm so confused by it.  I think the deal with it is that it's a separate program that lets me play namco arcade games, then by playing those games I unlock shit in home.

I like how the Japanese don't believe in beards so there are no beards selectable on my JPN home invite.

So instead I made a guy who looks like he'd mug you and take your shoes.  Now I get to go around waving to Japanese people!

no beards in the us beta either

home comes from a pansexual eurofuture in which moustaches are perhaps somewhat acceptable for their gay camp implications but beards are forbidden

HOME - online creeping people out has never been so fun!!

So I walked up to this guy who was sitting by himself on a block and stood behind him for a few seconds like this:

Then I sat down directly behind him and started doing the Ocelot gun pointing at him and he got scared and teleported out:

Then I went up to a group of people watching a video and decided to disco dance and after a few seconds people started running away scared:

I just can't get over how hilarious it is that Sony built a life simulator to combat Xbox Live. It makes absolutely no sense at all. Unless it's like a stealth  "HAHA, LOSERS!" to all the social outcast fanboys that eat this shit up.

Not that I disagree with giving Home some shit, but aren't you basically a social outcast?

No invite on my US account.  I don't pay Sony for the Qoore advertising though.

If I ever get the qore code (I actually wanna send an email asking why I didn't get it or the Resistance 2 one), I'll give it out here.  I'm in the beta since I downloaded the Japanese theme a long time ago and got in through that account.

And really, the only good part about home is griefing other or just fucking about.  Doing the run in place dance with fistfulofmetal behind me, then walking away only to come back and see 3 other people join in this random dance next to an arcade machine is hilarious.

The home worlds on the Japanese servers are so much better looking than the American ones

Yeah, this is so weird.  The Japanese one actually has things to do in Home.  I think I went to the Dengeki offices and they have a show there where (I'm assuming) editors talk about various playstation products. Out in the hub world, they actually have a news program that plays and tells you about various stuff with the Playstation 3.  You can go and walk around the TGS 2008 booth if you want to.  It's like the Japanese home is a virtual sony website where the US one is a shitty second life without the crazy shit.  Also the Japanese one seems to have  Yuusha no Kuse ni Namaikida in the Arcade, but it keeps crashing my PS3, so I can't really confirm that.

better looking graphics than Second Life, of course.  but Sony has a really stunted and confused product on their hands.  Their angle is styling the world to your tastes, but you can't even do that much. The level of customization will never be 1/100th as high a Second Life or even the Sims.  Consoles are closely watched targets by angry parents and other companies when it comes to lewdness and copyright infringement.  On top of that you can't create a single item and have to wait for Sony to upload some of their focus-group approved items...and who knows how dedicated they will be. 

In the end you have an avatar based chat room, a few minigames, some meaningless game+trophy room shit that will be novel the first time you look at it and never again. It's dead in the water. I don't think it's an idea that will grow on the PS3 and eventually sell the PS4.

The game-to-game matchmaking party stuff is valuable, imo.

You don't need Home for that, I guess, but that's how Sony is doing it.

If you want depressing, how about having to boot out of home and into a separate program to play Galaga.  Btw, to do this you need inboth the Home beta and the Namco arcade game beta.  A beta within a beta to play Galaga.
