IGN:Home Eyes-On

With all of the Avatar and Mii-based talk from Microsoft and Nintendo at this E3, we were wondering about Sony's virtual avatar space. We've known that the open beta for the service was scheduled to come out in fall of this year, but we hadn't seen many of the changes that have slowly been taking place in the virtual space. Luckily, at E3, we were shown some of the new spaces that users will be able to experience when the experience is opened up later this year.

what a surprise another successful playstation product

FantasyStar6512d ago

Only cause I could. I really have no valid reason. Gotta break the cycle somewhere.

UnSelf6512d ago

ive been waiting for Home for so long im about to go outside

MikeGdaGod6512d ago

i think Home will be good when alot of people are able to participate. right now there's hardly anyone in there most days.

i think they're trying to add more stuff to it before releasing it to everyone. right now there's not much to do.

mercenarie6512d ago

advertised HOME for a long time now, it makes sense for them to make it as bullet proof as possible to criticism.

solidsnakus6512d ago

yea , and let me just remind you that jack tretton also said in san francisco chronicle that home open beta was coming "Q1 2008". so him saying "fall" pretty much means its gonna get delayed.

But it needs to pick up the pass and get released allready!
I'm willing to wait for it to be perfect but how much longer! I've been patient and everything sony throw me the damn prize already! Oh and the Resistance PSP is going to be SWEET!

PSN ID: Sitris

wingway6512d ago

looking pretty good and for a second there it reminded of the sims

mercenarie6512d ago

& HOME looks totally different but both gives the option for personal customization...

If it was my choice i would want wrestling, boxing with anyone in the space.. i would also have like a space where you can drive bumper cars with damage.. maybe have a few golf carts in the square of home with some ramps lmao.. that would be nice

MikeGdaGod6512d ago

just so you know, i'm in the beta and in one of the reports i requested boxing, go karts, and miniature golf for some of the activities i'd like to see

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle16d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde23d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy23d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga24d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199224d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga23d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman23d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger23d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box24d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion23d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7224d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7524d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit24d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14924d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7724d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
