Somebody Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Open House As was reported yesterday, Sony has opened up the beta test for PlayStation Home to all PS3 users today. I participated in the heavily embargoed closed beta for Home, so I was curious to see what Sony would be showing to the general public. What I found seemed surprisingly close to what Sony has been promising since Home's unveiling at GDC 2007. You can build your own custom avatar, furnish your own virtual apartment, chat and play social games with other users, and of course, get slapped silly with marketing messages. I suppose with this being day one of the open beta, a little slack should be cut, but after an hour or so spent browsing the microtransaction-based mall, waiting in line at the bowling alley to play with virtual arcade machines, and staring at various billboards and video screens promoting the movie Twilight, I didn't feel particularly compelled to go back to Home. Too many couches! Home is basically presented as a very clean, very modern entertainment complex. The core locations are your apartment, a movie theater, a bowling alley, a mall, and a large, open courtyard that connects them all. There are also a few themed locations that exist separate from this virtual gated community, which currently include a bar themed around Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, and a dilapidated train station for Far Cry 2. Though it can take a while for everyone's avatar to load whenever you first arrive at a new location, leaving you with a bunch of kinda-creepy translucent ghost avatars, Home has a sharp, clean look to it. People like to say that Home looks like Second Life, which is admittedly fun to say, but it doesn't really hold water. Home is a much smaller, detailed, and tightly structured virtual world. And in Second Life, there's actually stuff to do. More than the mall that sells virtual cowboy hats for 49 cents or the conspicuous advertising, the biggest immediately apparent problem for Home is that there simply isn't a whole lot to do. In any one location, there's usually only a handful of objects you can interact with. The central plaza features a game where you guide a remote control flying saucer over a small pond, avoiding mines and collecting stars, as well as a communal jukebox stocked with a handful of licensed songs. Go into the single-screen theater, and you'll be treated to a trailer for the movie Twilight, followed by an Evanescence music video that, coincidentally, is from the Twilight soundtrack. I guess Sony is anticipating plenty of self-mutilating teenage girls to use Home. Which could be a reason for some to keep using Home, I guess. Which button do I press to put up a quarter? The bowling alley is the most action-packed location I've seen in Home so far, with its pool tables, arcade machines, and bowling lanes. One of the small choices in Home that I find stupefying is the fact that the arcade games allow only one player at a time, which means you have to wait your turn if you want to play a light version of Echochrome, or a really crummy Breakout knockoff. You can argue that Home might benefit from trying to emulate some specific details of real life, which is actually a little true for the player limits on the pool tables and the bowling lanes. The truth is that waiting in line to play a game at an arcade sucks. Waiting in line to play a game at an arcade that exists inside of your cutting-edge video game machine is top-shelf lunacy. This probably isn't Home's fault, and maybe this just speaks to the type of easily amused jerk I am, but the most fun I've had with Home so far has been running around and triggering the disapproving double thumbs-down animation at stuff I don't like, which brings me to the point of communication in Home. In a way, Home is just a big, fancy chat room. You can hang out in the public lobbies and just shout at whoever, you can invite some people back to your place for some more exclusive socializing, or you can create and join clubs with like-minded individuals. Like clothing for your avatar and higher-end living quarters, clubs are a premium part of Home. It'll cost you $4.99 to start your own club, and there will be upkeep fees down the road as well. I find this wall to be...inadequate. Home supports headsets and keyboards, and also features a pop-up menu full of canned phrases, so there's plenty of options for how you communicate. In my brief experience, though, it seemed like very few people had keyboards or headsets, and most of the chatting consisted of slangy text-message abbreviations. I guess the fact that Home is simply a free add-on for the PS3 makes my criticisms against it a little irrelevant. It's not an essential feature, so if you don't like it, you don't have to use it. But stakes are high for Sony right now, and this seems like an odd way for Sony to add value to its console. I don't think it's entirely without potential, but what's being shown in the open beta looks more like framework than a finished Home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abhi90 Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 i am not HOMEless..........but why does a 77mb download needs to reserve about 3077 mb of HDD space....can anyone tell me.... and is there a GI team or club in home...if not lets make it.......

Death Stryke Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 ^Coz 77mb is just the initial code to run HOME. As you visit every new place in HOME, it gets downloaded on our HDD. So u can imagine that we'll need to reserve a lot of space to download all the myriad places and stuff you see in HOME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abhi90 Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 edit:- i just realised that sony chares for forming a club.OMEG ...... and there are only 4 places available and each around 40 mb...so where does extra mb go... i think they can be used for saving other person's avatars and all....

Hot-Drake-Pixel Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Sully's Bar In PlayStation Home: Access Codes Cracked If you've tooled around in PlayStation Home for a little while - and who hasn't? - you've probably visited the two game-specific spaces dedicated to Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and Far Cry 2. The former is Sully's Bar, which is a very cool hangout place that also happens to feature two locked doors that require codes... You didn't really think it'd take very long for someone to crack those codes, did you? Last Geek has both codes for the doors, so if you're dying to see what's in there, pay attention: the locked room on the left is the Film Room, which shows some behind-the-scenes footage of how the game was created, plus early artwork. The code is 41675. The room on the right is the Artifact Room, which is loaded with paintings from the island in Uncharted and various treasures. The code to get in here is 24312. So now you can have the full Sully's Bar experience in Home; if you haven't checked it out yet, it features a small side room (more like a patio) where there are a few tables and chairs, and a main room where you'll find the bar, three arcade machines, a jukebox and several viewable artifacts. Last time we were in there, it was absolutely jam-packed, which isn't really surprising. Who doesn't want to explore new spaces in Home? And this is just the beginning. We should see many more game-themed spots in Home as the months and years progress, and we can't wait to see what comes down the pike. Of course, this means we'll have to free up more space on the HDD, but these places are only 25-30MB from what we've seen so far, so we're not too worried. Anyway, stay tuned for more Home-related developments as they become available. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
