Push Square: "Tucked away in the upstairs section of the PlayStation Home E3 booth is an area dedicated to the spaces coming soon to Sony’s virtual world. One of the new activities featured is Home Tycoon, a simulation title in development at Hellfire Games."
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!
I watched the trailer for this in Home last night and was pretty impressed.
Went into home last week to check it out and i've been going back on a daily basis since. It has really changed a lot. Nothing to go crazy over but it's great to hang out when you have time.
This will easily have me returning to Home, its the only reason I didn't uninstall the data after E3.
Too many people were ready to write off HOME almost from the start.
Now you don't nearly get as many "Sony should scrap HOME" and "HOME is boring" comments as you used to.
And it's because people are realizing it's growing at a steady rate and the games are getting more and more advanced. Hell, HOME is one of the reasons the Gaming Division is making money.
Home Tycoon does seem to be a straight up ripoff of Sim City. It won't end up being nearly as deep as SC but it does look fun and I look forward to trying it out.
