Title: Playstation Home revealed

Hm looks interesting. It's sort of like Miis, but with waaaay more stuff to do and customize. Still, I like the style of Miis. While the environments are simply amazing in this, the characters who populate them look bland. Plus I can't help but think that the various casual games available to play like bowling and pool will be signifigantly less worthwhile on a regular controller. After playing Wii Bowling it'll be hard to go back to just pushing a button to throw the ball

why does this mean sony is winning gdc? All they did was copy their competition and put it in a blender

Even the most ardent anti-Sony fan has to admit Little Big Planet looks fucking HAWT, though...

Still, like I've said many times before, Sony HAS to drop the price to appeal to the casual gamer.

Sony fans must be fucking a desperate if they are getting excited over an Animal Crossing/PSO/Second Life ripoff.

Looks really ambitious.  I think I would have a lot of faith in it if it was something that was done when the console launched but my guess is it won't get to be like anything they are promising until the ps4.

It looks like Animal Crossing to an extent, but at the same time it's more like creating a virtual avatar to run around and access all the PS content.

This makes me very interested to see Animal Crossing Wii. I doubt Nintendo gives a shit about offering all these features though. As long as it creates an actual virtual world it could be cool - even with friends codes I guess. But sooner or later people will be tired of just being able to fish and cut trees.

I watched the trailer.

Home looks nice. I looks like Animal Crossing without the gay and an interesting way to connect with others on the PSN. I'm impressed, but how well Sony can implement such a feature, I don't know about that. They've always made these promises on online content and failed almost every time. Hopefully they get it right.

The thing is, it's basically the same thing as what the competition uses, except you can travel around with your own avatar. Seems neat, but at the same time, do I really want to travel all over the place when I want to dl a movie?

The Miis are childish and awful. Gimme generic models over the Fisher-Price kiddy crapola.

That said, Wii Bowling doesn't use the pointing feature of the wagglemote, so the Sixaxis can replicate it dead on.

actually the problem isn't with navigating its with organization and its not as bad as it was when the 360 launched, which I remember being a mess of folders, subfolders, and lists.  they could do things like stream line it, like say you want to find a movie for a game.  first all you have to go to games, when which generates a list, find the game, which then generates a list of options like cheats, demo, movies ect, then you hit movies, gives you a list of movies at definitions.  To stream line it they remove all the folders, so you want a game movie once you get to the game you want all you'd have to do is place your cursier this would create a tree list of options for the game, move the cursier onto the option you want (movies), makes a tree list of movies of to the side, select the move you want. also things like having a list of of new stuff right off to the side of the main market place instead of in a new content folder.

like I said its not so bad now, where at launch things were in the wrong folders, and way better than what nintendos doing but its still not great.

oh. i just recently got my 360, so I don't know how it used to be, but I think it's pretty easy to use right now.

i would NOT want to have to walk my avatar somewhere to play a game, or watch a movie, or go to the marketplace, or anything that I could use a menu to do.

Title: Re: Playstation Home revealed
Post by: MrAngryFace on March 07, 2007, 05:25:58 PM
I dunno the whole avatar thing sounds like a glorified chat service rather than any sort of videogame implementation.

I mean with 360 I can already chat with people who arent even playing the same game as I am. Is an avatar and stupid living quarters really required? The whole thing just plays on peoples inability to deal with reality.

PlayStation Home is something that I think socially dysfunctional gamers have been having wet dreams about for years, but Xbox Live is so much more practical.  Again, why would I want to spend minutes walking around to find a digital theatre when I can already be downloading movies in nearly half the time on Xbox Live.  So I can simulate the life I don't have, but really want on account that I'm a total loser?  No, thanks!
Title: Re: Playstation Home revealed
Post by: Himu on March 07, 2007, 05:54:46 PM
The more I think of it, I like the idea but..I just don't know.

Although it's an over glorified Habbo Hotel, I gotta admit it's kinda cool, but is it really necessary? On XBL you can chat with someone while playing a game or not. It really screams "desperate" in my eyes.

Why is it necessary to compete with this? XBL basically has all of those features, except you don't have to walk a virtual avatar all over the place. Personally, I'd rather keep it in menus.

Imagine if you would, spending 600 dollars on a console, and then having entire months of people laughing at you and almost nothing to play. Now imagine actually getting a game of average quality.

You'd flip out like a fanboy too and embrace it and declare it your god cause the whole situation is ACTUALLY that sad.

Not able to afford it? Dude, you can afford anything if you save. I want a 360 platinum, and that's 100 dollars less than the core ps3. But I won't get a ps3. Why? Because 360 has far more value, better looking games, and emphasis on the thing I buy these consoles for in the first place: games.

Please stop riding everyone's dick who isn't so into licking Sony's ass hole. It got obnoxious 4-5 months ago, and the mentality is the very reason why I continuously shit on the ps3 and it's fans.

PlayStation Home: Making Wetdreams For Obese Shut-Ins Come True!

http://youtube.com/watch?v=og0fU3BNKMo

Because its one of the first PS3 games with a fresh gameplay idea, with nods to the legacy of the 2-D platforming greats, instead of being a typical sequel to PS1/PS2 franchises like the majority of games fans are hyping. Sony lately has been playing catch-up to MS and Nintendo in the realms of innovation, and making mistake after mistake, so that makes this news resonate even harder. Though the NeoGAF Sony contingent seem to be going too far in proclaiming that Home is godly and will single-handedly sink the 360 and Wii  :lol Home just reeks of impracticality to me, I'm sure I'll check it out and play around with it for a few minutes, but after that I'm willing to bet I'll be wishing for the streamlined 360 interface.

Title: Re: Playstation Home revealed

Well, apparently you can do the same stuff without home. Home is only optional. Which brings up this point: why is this necessary? You'd think they'd just put their resources into something more practical, but that's my thoughts on it. I'm just waiting to be WOWED by Sony, because I know what they can do, and they've done two times in a row.

It's a neat  concepts, but I think that a lot of features will be dropped by the times it comes out. How the hell do they expect that movie feature to ever work in the real world? People will have to download the movie from their friend,'the host' in real time as they are all watching it from their homes? It just wont work. Companies are going to crack down on that shit in matter of seconds, and people are going to use those things for gross vids and porn.
