PushSquare: "What's happened to all the great jet-ski games? Nintendo hasn't put out a WaveRace title since the GameCube. Sony doesn't look like it's ever going to resurrect Jet Moto. And Microsoft owns Hydro Thunder -- yes, technically not a jet-ski game we know."
Other "game-type metaverse" projects in the works
Would love PlayStation Home 2 on PS5 with seamless transitions between different areas.
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
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.
Given you're talking about online speeds and connectivity, not the PS5 itself, you're not escaping loading screens.
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
@ Jin:” Would love PlayStation Home 2 on PS5 with seamless transitions between different areas.”
I second that plus a vr option added to it
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.
He just said it was ahead of its time. Super slow HDD made it awful when traversing areas.
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
@OptimusDK
You don’t speak for everyone. Many people enjoyed it. But I do agree with the Metaverse being overblown.
@OptimusDK You don’t know what you’re talking about. This was a good place to meet people.
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.
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..
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.
While I understand why you said it, I hated the idea of everything you just said.
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
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!
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.
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
VR and the META are here to stay and they're only going to keep on growing.
There will be something for everybody.
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.
New jet moto please Sony. That game was so fun on PS1. Oh well at least we get a new twisted metal game :)
When you look at all the content Home offers, it is simply mind blowing..... but, for some uknown reason, I just can't be bothered to log into Home :s
Like the idea of WaterStorm. tsunamis, whirlwinds, underwater whirlpools, sharks, killer whales, waterfalls, rapid rivers...niiiiiiiice!
Closer to what on PS3?
