Home: significant changes following beta tester feedback, now on track for Spring 2008
Home? What’s that? Oh – it was that online virtual world thingumy that everyone got so excited about for all of three months. But then Sony confessed that it really wasn’t even close to finished and everyone went away and found better things to be interested in.
Well, it might be time to start listening up again. Sony Computer Entertainment Europe’s John Venables and Ron Festejo have been speaking at Imagina 08 and have revealed that Home has undergone some pretty gigantic changes since it was first aired in 2006. Those changes are by-and-large cosmetic, but have made a lot of difference to individual player spaces, and to the style and design of more communal locations. It was largely due to feedback from the beta testers that these changes were made.
