Sony\'s Xbox Live Killer?
« Reply #15 on: March 08, 2007, 02:33:39 PM »
I dont think people will be able to go to "your place" without invitation. Only people from your friend list?

I hate the online moron too. But as with every online games I played, keep a small circle of friend around and simply ignore the others.

There is some crazy idea that can be done with the Home thing. I can already see myself telling my friends to meet at 5:30 to play NHL2008 and while we are waiting for the late comers we can watch "last night hot replays" on my phat TV in my place lol

The "my home" feeling is existent in every MMO. People hang out in major cities while waiting for their friends to log online. Sony\'s Home going to have great success..

I dont know about some of you but for me Sony did something MS didnt, something unique to consoles and it has the potential to surpass Live as a whole. If it hasnt already

I wouldn\'t get carried away uni, but yeah, it definitely has potential. Painting it as an mmo interface like Nolaws did, makes it sound pretty cool.

i\'m not really excited about this, as i loathe social networking sites.

the trophy room/achievement stuff might be cool, but i find socializing in a 3D environment beyond lame.

It\'s the wave of the future. One day, chat rooms will be like this. Maybe even forums.

Some of my fondest memories of the computer are the times I spent using a chat program that represented people with avatars in a 2D environment. It was text based and the words appeared from the avatar like in a comic book.  Like here, once you get to know the group, it\'s a lot of fun.
 
I think Home could carry a similar charm if it\'s done right, and that\'s very inviting.

Most of us probably hate the idea of social networking, but lets face it, Sony is trying to market to a wider audience now.

They\'ve learned well from the sims, social networking brings in the female gamers (or just females in general), and that\'s a huge and rich market.  Kids and teens will also go for this even if they aren\'t classic \'gamers\'.  It\'s a smart move, just not one that I think appeals to my definition of a gamer (or myself, for that matter).

i think it could be something great, but i kinda agree with nvidia in that you will have little immature a**holes online cursing and throwing all kinds of racial slurs all over the place....that is the only thing that i can think of that will probably ruin the experience.

Oh yeah thats one of the best attemps I ve ever seen. Very innovative and interesting :)

I dowloaded both GDC presentations of LBP and Home from gametrailers and I must say I am speechless.

Who ever havent watched those, try them. You ll be surprised by the work Sony has put to both

Little Big Planet is the game I\'ve been waiting for.  Finally a game that is so original and has so much creativity to it.  I don\'t think I\'ve ever seen a game this creative yet so simple.  The possiblities are nearly endless.

As for home,  I was chatting with someone across the PSN last night and it was fusterating and slow as possible.  Home will change that.

So you think the addition of 3D avatars and environments to your chat is going to speed up the process?

Home is meh. Not something that would get people to buy a PS3. It just seems like Sony\'s way of trying to implement as many micro-transactions as possible into their "free" online service.

LBP on the other hand looks really fun. I don\'t know if it has killer app potential though.
