PlayStation Home is a fun social experience on the PS3. The thing is, those that haven’t put much - if any - time into it won’t be trying it out anytime soon. The service sits in their XMB, as fun waiting to be had. This is why Home needs to interact better with the PS3, instead of just being that icon in the PlayStation Network tab. Following are some ways to embed Home with the PS3. PlayStation Plus deserves some exclusivity here, as the cost of membership should go toward such benefits.
Other "game-type metaverse" projects in the works
Would love PlayStation Home 2 on PS5 with seamless transitions between different areas.
There's still IMVU and Second Life but they're not quite like PS Home. Btw folks the Home restoration project is still going and they have brought Home back online through the PS3 emulator. So if y'all interested in goin back HOME there's that.
As good as it was It missed the opportunity of becoming huge... Imagine if just eat or similar and you could order food from within checking out menus of local restaurants, Or items direct from Amazon etc whilst in shop in game checking out the items in real time, or even clothes from your favourite shops. The thing could have been Enormous ! I realise it could be dangerous in over spending but hell kids max out parents cards on fortnite, just need to keep control of them.
The new loyalty program PlayStation Stars boasts an array of rewards, many of which would be perfect for a display in a reboot of PlayStation Home.
Thanks to the Destination Home Team working in tandem with the PSOne Emulation Team, PlayStation Home is back online this 2021 on the PS3.
Ah yes good times. I remember bowling, making psn friends, dance parties, flirting with girls, and pretending to be a girl with hoards of dudes following me lol. I even created eu and jp accounts because they had their own unique hub area and game spaces. It was just dumb fun.
I still think the ps5 is getting it with London studio making an "online game" they keep posting. They also have experience making VR games so who knows. It would be amazing as a free game packed with the psvr2.
HOME was a broken mess last time, and it still makes no sense now. This whole META verse hype - i just dont see it. VR or not makes no difference. We are far off!
PlayStation Home would be perfect as a cloud gaming platform
Lowering the loading times would certainly help, they are just too long right now.
I think they are really dropping the ball if they dont plan to have it on the vita. They should make more mini games, keep doing the E3 stuff, do something for gamescom and the other events, maybe they should video record the blogcast and put it in one of the theaters, stream playoff games in a theater etc.
How about the most obvious tactic? Make every trophy you earn on PSN redeemable as credits to use in Home to buy virtual items. It's idiot proof. It would get people who ordinarily don't spend time in Home to get into Home frequently.
Just make it simple to get to home with out all the BS downloading and loading.
