hope ps home is better on ps 4

Mounce3947d ago

Just imagine a Home on PS4 - minimal load times when moving. Avatars don't take as long to load around you and 60FPS!

Hnnng.

Would maybe return if that came true. The slowness is what kills me in not wanting to get on it.

EPiCDiNGO3947d ago

I love Home just to go on and goof around with friends when we cant be bothered playing video games. It would make me very upset if this was not on PS4.

3947d ago
GiggMan3947d ago

I noticed Sony hasn't said anything about Home for ps4 that I know of.

kingPoS3947d ago (Edited 3947d ago )

That caught my attention too. It's welcome presence to many. As much as people claim to despise the imperfect browser & Home, they'll probably raise a furor if either turned up missing on the PS4.

DeadlyFire3946d ago (Edited 3946d ago )

I expect E3 2014 is most likely chance we will see it announced.

Home is great I believe. It has lots of potential, but was limited on the PS3 in many ways. Maybe we can see it hosted on the Cloud servers on PS4 with 128 player lobbies, massive areas for games and such. Unless its packed in at launch. Either way loading times should be slashed.

SolidDuck3947d ago

I'm not sure why people still use this.

SonyStyled3947d ago (Edited 3947d ago )

then give it a visit to realize how much there is to explore. not to mention the free games with full campaigns, collectable items, etc. its a casual community for the most part. but i stop in every month or so for some es'plorin!

RavageX3947d ago

Because people like it.

Simple answer to a simple question.

Home is quite popular.

I was there from the beta days but haven't installed it on my new PS3. While I did like it and it had cool spaces, I'm not the most social person so there was a lot that I was missing out on...plus the space it takes up compared to the amount of time spent actually on it doesn't really balance out for me.

#HomeOnPS4

Look for us on Twitter, Facebook and other sites. We are trying to create a voice loud enough to be heard by Sony, so that we may provoke a resoponse to the question: "Will there be a HOME on PS4?" Thousands of Home users have invested their time, money and loyalty to a service that's over 4 years old. We deserve an answer.

We are fighting to see a #HomeOnPS4 and thats all were concerned about. We do not let those who feel negativity towards PlayStation Home, deter our cause or commitment to keeping it alive during this gen...or the next. We do not care if you dont like Home, dont use it, dont support it or if you feel that money and resources could be better invested in games.

The PS4 was designed around social aspects for a reason. It's not JUST a gaming device.

Help us support #HomeOnPS4 ^_^

EPiCDiNGO3947d ago

Good luck in getting #HomeOnPS4 im sure with the power of the cloud and PS4 great things could be done.

SolidDuck3947d ago

I'm not trying to be a dick, but do u really want home on ps4? Wouldn't u rather them spend there time, money, and resources on something else. I always thought they should turn home into an mmo, where new regions would be based on playstation games. And trophies would be the currency for weapons and armor. It would promote new games, give ps4 a free to play mmo, and give trophies more meaning and more addictive, making people play and buy more games. But it's cool that u guys enjoy ps home.

kingPoS3947d ago

Believe it or not, a majority of Home users don't have a huge collection of games. If you view home as pure game you'll be disappointed.

Would love PlayStation Home 2 on PS5 with seamless transitions between different areas.

-Foxtrot199d ago

Yeah, although I’m worried if it does come back idiots will say it’s jumping on the metaverae trend not realising it did this years ago

zeuanimals199d ago

They'd have a hard time doing that if it's called Playstation Home 2. That raises the question of what the first one was.

Si-Fly198d ago

You’ll enjoy life much more if you stop worrying about what other people think :)

darthv72199d ago

...in VR2 would be awesome as well.

Godmars290199d ago

Given you're talking about online speeds and connectivity, not the PS5 itself, you're not escaping loading screens.

Tacoboto199d ago

SSD speeds so quick you could open a door in PS Home to walk your Avatar through a portal to launch a game.

They could do something like Peach's Castle in Mario 64 and your library of titles are the portraits

ChiefofLoliPolice199d ago

Agreed wholeheartedly. Playstation Home was amazing!

ThEusAisPoisonous199d ago

You’re being silly. It was stupid as shit.

Ashunderfire86199d ago

Second Life did that before everyone.

1Victor198d ago

@ Jin:” Would love PlayStation Home 2 on PS5 with seamless transitions between different areas.”
I second that plus a vr option added to it

gold_drake199d ago

it really was.

miss it.
it had alot of potential.

Inverno199d ago

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.

Yui_Suzumiya198d ago

I'm interested! I was wondering if that project was still live or not.

Elda199d ago

If he praises it why did Sony shut the app down.

Jin_Sakai199d ago

He just said it was ahead of its time. Super slow HDD made it awful when traversing areas.

OptimusDK198d ago

It was trash 🗑️ and it still is. Walking around to go into stores etc is cringe and makes no sense at all. The hype around metaverse is totally overblown

Jin_Sakai198d ago (Edited 198d ago )

@OptimusDK

You don’t speak for everyone. Many people enjoyed it. But I do agree with the Metaverse being overblown.

__SteakDeck__198d ago

@OptimusDK You don’t know what you’re talking about. This was a good place to meet people.

Majors199d ago

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.

SullysCigar873d ago

Now bring it into the PS5 era as a PSVR2 social hub and we're talking!

Silly gameAr873d ago

That would be awesome. Wonder if the fans can pull that off.

bouzebbal872d ago

It was a sad day when they stopped this service.. the community gave them so many good idea they chose not listen.. people want the trophy score to be used in home, or simply get rewards from unlocking the trophies..

excaliburps872d ago

If there was a time to do this, it would be now. Imagine PS Home intergrated with Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, etc. It could work, and open a new revenue stream for Sony, and new earnings potential for influencers, etc.

Mr_cheese872d ago

While I understand why you said it, I hated the idea of everything you just said.

Lore871d ago

And expand on the housing and furniture offerings, allow for quick jump-in to HOME from the startup screen, and integrate a way for unique items to be acquired for games that platinum trophies have been earned in

GoodGuy09873d ago

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.

boing1872d ago

In hindsight, this would have been great in the current climate.

Darkborn872d ago

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.

OptimusDK872d ago

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!

Godmars290872d ago

Far off from VR chat type platforms being on a game console?

Very likely aren't btw, just more the question that if one existed would it support interactive games within itself. Offer flawless launching into other games with a spectator option.

I mean, imagine hosting a DB FighterZ tournament at you lunar mansion where guest can see it in realtime on a massive screen. About the actual level stage with some as DBZ characters commenting while waiting their turn.

Nitrowolf2872d ago

Far off? Lol the virtual spacing has taken off already, since the PS4 era.

Home was released a bit ahead of its time when it should have came out later in the ps4 life cycle instead of 3.it certainly would have found loads more success today than back then

872d ago
EvertonFC871d ago

HOME was 10 years ahead of its time, dam I miss Xi

Mr_cheese872d ago

VR and the META are here to stay and they're only going to keep on growing.

There will be something for everybody.

Godmars290872d ago

Issue there is META's trademarked by a notorious info miner who plans to lock you out of your own VR rig no matter how much money you've sunk into it.
