GDC 2007 - GDC 07: PS3 phoning Home this fall - News at GameSpot
woohhhh...
i'm glad i have a PS3 =p
Damn you... I just watched that and was going to post it. =P
Pretty cool. It's like Nintendo's Mii with some of XBL and of course The Sims. Now how long is it going to take for us PS3 owners to use it? O.O
NoPeace - out
that looks amazing O_O
every game released from this point on the ps3 will have Home integrated in, and all you have to do to access Home is hit the "Home" button on the sixaxis controller =p
wow, that's amazing-looking...I mean really...O.O
i have a ps3 also and im SUPER excited for this!! CANT WAIT!! ima try to get into the beta!!! :D
anyways i wanna make my own mafia in there just like in the sims online or second life.
Won't be long before 360 gets it as well. The game looks amazing, however isn't there something similar to this in PC (I am not talking about SIMS). The only though coming to my mind is the lack of players. But I'll look around a bit more and hopefully find some useful info for myself.
Found some more articles about it. Still not quiet clear though. So it is something like a side time game as in Lobby etc which is added to every single game.
I know its free, but my point was that not many people have PS3. And that was the name i was looking for " Second Life"
Thanks
theres not many that to...but there still is "alot" of users. anyways if i get into the beta in april ill post here about it...and maybe even record a video (if i can)
edit: it also has a house feature were you can buy items for it let people come in your house, have clans, shows your achievements off to your friends... buy new items for your character, when you buy a game you may unlock new items...
There is still one question remains. Who's going to host the Virtual RaGE Party? :icon6:
NoPeace - out
wow Sony ripping off another company again...are the people going to be called sii's ? wait till the novelty wears off after a few hours
Umm.... It's much more then what Nintendo is offering. It's an entire virtual world where people can communicate and interact with one another.
What does Nintendo have? Something where you can make a cartoon like character and give to your friends. Not much more then that.
NoPeace - out
I fear for reality.
Again.
If possible, Chris and I will probably host an eRaGE party =p
I got so hyped about this thing, but seeing the expansion for 360 it kinda faded away. The feature still looks cool but come on, the console itself costs allot and the games as well. I mean no one is going to buy PS3 for "Home" alone. From what I have been hearing and reading, most of the decorative etc. for the house will be payable using real cash.
I love the idea! Gotta give Sony thumbs up for that but I just doubt about the success.
i found out this like 3 or 4 days ago -.-
Yeah they are a joke in price at the moment. Hopefully by the end of the year it'll be lower.
Either they'll find a better way of making BluRay drives which leads to lower costs or they say fuck it and drop it anyways. Since when Halo3 comes out they are going to be in the shit creek as the prices of the x360 will have probably gone down by $100 and a mass market will surge for the x360 because of those to factors. Leaving Sony with no choice but to drop prices if they will to last in the Console market. Nintendo also, as a $199 x360 will really hurt their sells since their system is weaker and costs $249.
Hey I support Bush... :chair:
With out him where would all those jokes and comics come from? Most of his actions would have been made no matter what but with him at least we can make fun of how dumb he looks and acts. =P
NoPeace - out
I want a PS3 now..that was so cool.
Looks more interesting then Wii games.
SNES FTW! Probably the best system of all time. =P
Wii did have a great launch library but after that there isn't much more. You got Mario and well more Mario...
With the PS3 for the last 4 months you only had one real game that's worth it and that's Resistance. Good thing this month tons of games are being released for it. Motor Storm, Armored Core 4, Rainbow Six Vegas, Oblivion, FEAR, etc. Then again most of those are already on the x360. So that still just leave it with only 2 exclusive games that are worth it.
Not until we see games like Lair, Heavenly Sword, Killzone 2, MGS4, Devil May Cry 4, and FFXIII will there be any real driving reason for the system. And how long is that going to take? Lair comes out in May followed by Heavenly Sword in June. And the rest will hopefully be here in the fall or by the end of the year.
But you know it's going to be kick ass once MGS4 and FFXIII comes out. :drool:
NoPeace - out
Ok, now I need 500 bucks for a PS3. Crap.
The home thing seems really cool, but if I wanted to do something like that I would just buy the sims or something. :P I'm not trying to diss the PS3, but so far I see no good games for it, and the home isn't going to make me want to spend 500 bucks for one. :P
It's still a really good idea though.
You mean $600. The $500 one is nearly impossible to find and Sony is planning on discontinuing it. =P
Resistance and Motor Storm are great games and you can't forget about the ones that are to come. =P
Final Fantasy XIII, Kingdom Hearts 3, Metal Gear Solid 4, Heavenly Kingdom, etc. =P
So there are some good games. Just they won't be out for another 6+ months. -.-
NoPeace - out
Resistance:FoM pwns! im so getting it :)
lol i dont think there's 90 lvls XD Resistance Fall of Man Superhuman Video Walkthrough - NextGenWalkthroughs.com
and yes the muti does pwn, all the vids looks so sweet :P
bwt check this one out : YouTube - RESISTANCE~レジスタンス~JAPANESE ONLINE
for some reason i didn't dig resistance - probably because the storyline was so cheesy.
Well it's in the works. A few months ago I read that they was hoping for a holiday 2007 release. But will it happens. Who knows. =P
They are also working on FFXIII Versus and want to release it at the same time also. So who knows what will happen.
It took Square 3 years longer then what they planned to release FFXII. But hopefully they'll release the PS3 games on time.
NoPeace - out

google? o.o
ty for the homepage :)
I'm not a PS3 owner, and most likely never will be. However, I will tack onto the end of this thread that representatives for the development of "Home" stated they make no garuntees Home will permanentally be a free service. That line instantly set off my "Sony bullshit alarms" and further deterred me from the purchase of a PS3. Don't mistake the tone of my post for a flame, it isn't. I have a neutral stance in the "console wars", I just dislike Sony nowadays.
After two years of development and closing in on a beta, plus the fact that it will be a "main" application for the PS3, they can't give a definitive "It will be free", "It won't be free", I instantly realize the fact that they may heavily consider instating a monthly/yearly charge at a later date. The fact that Home is an XBL type service is good, a charge wouldn't be bad either, but don't BS your users...
From all that I've read and understood about it is that the basic service will be free. Though if you wish to spend money you can do other things like get a nicer looking flat, different character designs, different items, new mini games, go to the movies and pay to watch a movie (hopefully the ones in the cinemas as that would rock), etc.
Basically they let you have it for free but if you want the cool extra stuff it'll cost you. And not to mention it's going to loaded with ads from companies. And those ads costs 100s of thousands of dollars to run.
