I don't think I have ever witnessed something evolve like HOME has...

I mean if you look at the original footage then this. It makes it look like PS One.

Looks like the wait will pay off eventually.

sonarus6441d ago

When home finally launches if it is as sony promises i don't give a sh1t if live has netflix or avatars or whatever feature they say the have. Home makes psn superior to live end of story. No other game system can say they are offering something even close to this. Imagine the possibilities. The best part is that its free. Offcourse for it to work, all developers have to embrace it and not just first party devs

truth for gamers6440d ago (Edited 6440d ago )

Honestly it looks pretty cool because it has great graphics but you have to wonder if it will hurt ps3 3rd party video game sales since alot of people will rather be in home than playing actual video games.

B-Rein6440d ago

hmmmmm, homw also shows off how god a gamer is at playing games, i think many users wud wanna show off how good gamers they are to other peeps and mates, that will be gettin them playin the games (ps u get 3d trophies in home plus that level thin mite be able to come use in home)

I'm tired of trailers of Home just bring it out already, I believe Sony won E3 but they would have totally Pwned M$ and Nintendo if they would have just said Home Beta would be available on Thursday for Download!

How did they get that REAL(Looking)Water into the PS3 in HOME??? ;-D
WOW!!!(God i keep on saying that this week!) ;)
Looks coooooooooooooooool;)
When it comes it comes(so will i) ;-D (SORRY!!!) ;)

B-Rein6441d ago

Ken my friend that is only a fraction of the ps3s true power, and yes this is what the console was built for QUALITY!!!!

Sir_Ken_Kutaragi6441d ago

SONY = PURE QUALITY;)

Kleptic6440d ago

this is getting kind of crazy...the visuals are better than a lot of major games (GTAIV for example)...that Uncharted room looked better than the actual game it seemed, which is saying something...

not that that is bad...but it makes sense why Sony is not at all focused on hand outs to 3rd parties...they are investing a PILE of money on 1st party games and community features...

It seems incredible so far...While the conference yesterday was somewhat underwhelming...the stuff they keep pumping out hour after hour is unrivaled...between how this, Killzone 2, motorstrom pr, and Resistance 2 are shaping up...I couldn't be happier...

oh and that video service is awesome...downloading child's play right now...haven't watched for like 15 years...rentals for some films need to come down in price a little...but several hundred shows and movies right off the bat is pretty impressive...

This is very nice video montage of Playstation Home. While I too want this service to release very soon, you gotta think of all the time and effort they are putting into this. If they were to release it now half assed, Everyone would say "Oh they didn't live up to what they said" or "All this Hype for a glitchfest" something like that, and you all know what I am talking about when it comes to some people out there saying that stuff. But back on topic, this will definatly be great when they are finished with it. And I know they have been working on it for a longtime(2 years). But I am sure it will be even more amazing when it's finished, this is just the tip of the iceburg.

cool86441d ago

I was told they started developing home in 2002 originally planned as a ps2 extension,but that didn't happen. Its been a lot more than 2 years.

Overr8ed6441d ago

water looks Damn good. i glad for the delay looking good.

Home looks fantastically incredibly beautiful! It has come a very long way. I don't want to rush sony cause i know its a very big project but i am drooling for it right now. Man i really hope eric was right and its releasing the beta this november.

Time_Is_On_My_Side6441d ago (Edited 6441d ago )

I can see this being thee place to be as a gamer once released and no other platform delivers on this level. This will be the reason why we play for free.

Brixxer6006441d ago

I can honestly say that i had no real interest in this until i watched that video, it's shaping up very well and looks very good, now i can understand and appreciate why it's taking so long.

Real Gambler6440d ago

But those theme rooms are winning me over. And all the details. Still wondering how they can make all this with such little harddrive space.

himdeel6441d ago

...a fun diversion :) has a nice ring to it. Either way I hope you can use a keyboard for it. Funny how the one guy in beta says "E3 demo hes here!"

Xiru6441d ago

yeah pewpewboom is famous now. :) Funny stuff. At least it shows that he was actually inside the beta, and it wasn't scripted.

Nightblade6441d ago (Edited 6441d ago )

Well you really can't say that because this is a different platform, yes it was intended to be on PS2, But you gotta look at coding, integration, and graphical changes. By integrations I mean making it fully one with the PSN and with game launches such as warhawk for example. Coding changes of course has to do with the hardware itself being different from the previous. Yes I know "some" PS3's are backwards compatible but we are talking Next Gen here.

Rapture3336441d ago

Damn this has evolved. I'm actually excited about home!

uckitsayitchbay6441d ago

MaximusPrime6441d ago

glad sony spent their time getting home right.

Looking better than ever. Looking forward to it release when it comes.

NewSchoolGamer6441d ago

you can play with RC toys with your freinds right out of the bat. It's like Sony has included a pack of free psn games.

Drekken6441d ago

HOME rocks!

Andronicus6441d ago

lol

sephy 9 2 56441d ago

from beta testers again and again. Kind of sucks for them, but at least they can witness the progression first hand.

juuken6441d ago

Amazing.
That is all.

Once Home beta arrives this holiday there will be no reason to pay for Xbox LIVE

DFresh6441d ago

It'll come out when it's ready.
I'll just have to wait till then when it does come out.
There's a sign though that more games are becoming Home Compatible so Home might be closer than we think even if this service does come out in 2009.
I still got the video service that I wanted.
Cool games were shown.
Killzone 2 multiplayer stole the show at E3 2008.

Xiru6441d ago

I love it. Home is shaping up nicely.

aggh im on fire6441d ago

I love the themed rooms in Home, they look really good.

bleachrulez6441d ago

home has improve since we last saw it ...it looks amazing

Dark General6441d ago

Got to love the RC racing thing. Looks pretty cool. I wanted a better look at the Warhawk war room though with the Risk like strategy board.

beavis4play6441d ago

sweet! home looks to change everything.
i'd love to know what the ms execs think of this.

Silogon6441d ago

there is so much forward thinking potential with home but I fear Kaz and Jack will be 70 year old men when it finally is realised. We, we will all be 30.

Sad days. Sad days. I fear home won't be viable for another 5 or 6 years. It will continue to grow and grow but I don't think it will be fully realized anytime soon. Which will be strange walking around this home with no one in it. Think about that. think about when Ps3 isn't viable no more and you try to boot up home and probably get a server down message or even stranger, walking around an empty space.

shudders

My god that's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. Wow!

The Warhawk area, Uncharted, the water, the details, lighting...Play b3yond that other crap! :)

Silogon6441d ago

Eagle, seriously now, how often will you enter those rooms and more importantly even use that sand box? Really now. C'mon. home is great. I like the concept. I do. I wish it was here now in my living room to enjoy for myself and not from a distance at my buddies house, but from what I see on his ps3 isn't what I seen in my mind 2 years ago when it was 1st shown to us.

eagle216441d ago

To have all your friends, girlfriend, whoever in a private space.

All my friends and family will have a PS3 when this is released. Do you know there are dozens more areas (like theaters) and stuff?

It's about connecting and meeting new gamers for multiplayer. This is one of the most impressive evolutions I have ever witnessed for multiplayer software. Sony outdid themselves and Home looks on an entire different level from last year.

This is mature looking, it is ever evolving. And it's FREE.

DJ6441d ago

HOME looks incredible!

B-Rein6441d ago

holy moly, the freakin graphics 0.0 good god, they killed it, HOME ROKs!!!!! OMOIYUNADENA!!!!!

poopsack6441d ago (Edited 6441d ago )

All the little games like pool, the rc boat, bowling and the arcade games we've seen, its amazing that its all free! The customization, virtual psp, home space and themed spaces are awesome! I cant wait! And the graphics! For those that always compare it to second life, SL isnt the only avatar- social service you know, and you wish it looked this good. Suck it!

All its missing is a pants and moon social feature and its done! lol

RINGOFDEATH6441d ago

ill be on Home more than playing games,looks fun to hang out with others around the world in home and interacting,playing games there,playing rc boats,etc,cant wait.

Sanhlami6441d ago

I didn't care about it before but now it really does look incredible. The graphics are superior and the community feature of Home is crazy. Make new friends without meeting them in a game. This is practically a free game sim game already.

I also would prefer this over stupid avatars, 3d aesthetic menu (i hate it), or netflix (who rents movie online, people download off the internet for FREE!). This is going to be useful for community purposes.

INNOVATION indeed.

Mr4026441d ago

I have to admit this looks really cool. Who's to say it will be that big when it comes to gaming itself. But as a forum to advertise it's endless. Imagine themed rooms for everything from new movies to music or sports. Wow when I think about it this could generate a ton of money for Sony from advertisers. This does show that Sony is trying there best to be a bit more advanced then the rest.

leila016441d ago

it looks really good, but I think they should have used LBP characters instead of this.

PoSTedUP6441d ago

lol sounds good ; )

Deios6441d ago

This looks great! I hope I have enough GB on my HDD when this comes around to install HOME.

bleachrulez6441d ago

so you have plenty of space

tankkid16441d ago

FREAKING AWESOME, I WANT I WANT I WANT.

CAN'T WAIT TO PISS ABOUT WITH MY M8S ON HOME

B-Rein6440d ago

yess ill piss all over you home with my wii, dont worry (owh thats rite i sold it owell no pission about anymore) lol ahahah M$ is tryin to copy this idea hahah avtars they look like miis. any way on topic yes we can chill in each otehrs flats amn that grap[hics features this is gettin too good, i dont mind about the delay, ill actually thank the delay

jcgamer6441d ago

I can't wait to tour the world of HOME...FREE...

LeShin6441d ago

HOLY $hit!

I'm bloody impressed! Must thank my friend for all his (and his team) hard work :)

SIX6441d ago

Can we all please agree to give Sony some slack with this? I would rather have them release something a year late and have it amazing then have them release it half assed and see it bomb.

chrisnick6440d ago

this is crazy...im having a gaming overload....too much stuff to take in.

Close_Second6440d ago

...that anyone with a female looking avatar will attract the male gamers like flies on a turd. It always amuses me when you come across an obvious female gamer on-line and all the guys try make her their new best friend.
