Why a new 'Home' for the PlayStation 5 is a great idea -

With the incorporation of the PSVR, we can take the best qualities of Home, and bring them into the future. Imagine loading into your region, and stepping into the world of Home in a literal sense.

That would be cool but not necessary. A great option though

Home had so much potential. I used to log in every now and again but it always took so long to load in areas. It would be interesting to see Home make a comeback.

NarutoFox1771d ago (Edited 1771d ago )

"long to load in areas"

I'm 80% sure that won't happen with next gen consoles. Also depends on your internet connection

bouzebbal1771d ago

Home was full of potential but they wasted yet another great opportunity...
I was really expecting trading trophies for home stuff for example..
I loved the e3 conferences streamed on home.. Huge crowd of people watching... Good times

nucky641771d ago

word for word, you posted what i was thinking.

Teflon021771d ago

I remember the streaminf events on home. That was the best when me and friends would meet and go to the theatres together and watch stuff

Thought the yacht "apartment" was great. You could win or buy whales and such that swam around the ship.

It would be a better match for PS5 since the loading times would be likely eliminated.

Maybe let players have the ability to play with PlayStation game characters instead of humans.

fr0sty1771d ago

It doesn't matter how powerful the console is, load times in an app like Home are dictated by internet connectivity, and until the internet gets a bit faster, a Home like App may still be ahead of its time. That said, we've come a long way since Home launched, and it definitely would be better if they did it again.

PS Home was a neat concept. I'd like to see it return with PSVR support.

akurtz1771d ago

VR chat is really fun and this will only expand that with games, apartments and much more.

isarai1771d ago

Literally first thing that popped into my head was VR Chat

specialguest1771d ago

The new PS Home needs to be VR compatible. The original PS Home was basically VR chat and Oculus/Vive home before the current resurrection of VR exited.

Neonridr1771d ago

Oculus and HTC use something like this. I know with Oculus you can decorate your place how you see fit and as you play games you unlock items to be used or placed around your virtual house. It's pretty nifty and I would love Sony to incorporate something like this for PSVR in the future.

gangsta_red1771d ago

It was great seeing lonely avatar men swarm the avatar women...even if more than likely those were men too.

Home was a neat idea that never took off, Sony would do better just to leave this alone.

The Status of Every PlayStation Franchise

Sony owns a fair few iconic franchises - many dating right back to the original PlayStation. But while we’re pretty familiar with the likes of ongoing series such as God of War, Horizon, and Gran Turismo, there are plenty of PlayStation franchises that haven’t seen the light of day in a long time. So in this video, we’re going to be taking a look at the status of PlayStation’s many IPs, and checking in on when we last heard from them.

A 20+ minute video? Just include the written list in the article.

Status in one word:

Underutilized.

The end.

anast1d 19h ago

Which ones should they utilize more?

BehindTheRows1d 18h ago

Indeed. We hear this “underutilized” talk as if every old franchise should have a comeback or reboot.

I_am_Batman1d 17h ago (Edited 1d 17h ago )

When new IPs start looking like Concord, you can't blame people for wanting another Resistance or Killzone instead.

anast1d 16h ago (Edited 1d 16h ago )

J&D and Resistance are good ones. As much as I love these, though, I'm not sure they would payoff without an enormous marketing push. Younger gamers today do not have taste and the older gamers that would appreciate these might not be enough. But yeah, I would day 1 Resistance.

Well that’s just the consequence of consistently producing new IPs isn’t it. Not all studios can be or want to be like polyphony digital who made gran turismo all the time.

Abear211d 17h ago

Here lies The Infamous Series; once a shining beacon of free flying, lighting bolt sniping, and wire riding amazing gameplay, it has been laid to rest and be forgotten for what seems like forever despite being loved by millions. Plot next to Wipeout across from NBA Jam.

Lightning771d 14h ago

Still baffling they cancelled Twisted Metal, Factions 2 and Spider-Man Multiverse LS game but thought Concord looked good enough.

Chocoburger1d 13h ago

Ape Escape, Parappa / Lammy, Gravity Rush, good times. Always hoping for them to make a return, or at least similar type games, such as the newly-announced Astro Bot, but one game isn't enough. Bring back the joyfulness of the 90's era of gaming.
