The Home Beta will be made available to Europe and the US simultaneously, it was revealed last night.

Sweet, so it will be this year.

Tomdc5752d ago

@ 1.1 since when are they shipping Home? lolz

Panthers5752d ago

He wasnt being literal when he said 2 years. He said that he wants to ship a finished product. He was exaggerating. You are thick to not see that.

kapedkrusader5752d ago

...stop spreading lies. The original author of the interview you are referring to clearly stated that Tretton was only suggesting that if if were upto him, he wouldn't release HOME for another two years, if it would make it better.

Awesome news! i am very excited about home. This will finally give the playstation 3 a new identity, something that it can truly call its own. Home is truly a product of innovation, something that has never been done before in a online scale. Although i am not expecting to much being that its going to be an on going beta, but i am just happy that we can finally experience this.

smokeymicpot5752d ago

That would be great if it is true. there will probably be bad the first day of release

Overr8ed5752d ago

If their Severs are as Sh**y as the 2.40 update then it would be bad, but i think they learned from 2.40 and GTA.

Solid_Snake6665752d ago

GTA was rockstar not sonys servers

Overr8ed5752d ago

oh thanks for pointing out my ignorance... but you get the point.

truncheon5752d ago

solidsnakus5752d ago

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil1d 9h ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai1d 3h ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing6913h ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle12h ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal12h ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa11h ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal8h ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

boing111h ago(Edited 11h ago)

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
