Jack Tretton says “Home” May Be Two Years Away

I prefer to express myself fully most especially on these forums. A simple sentence is so easily twisted or misrepresented. For example had I not said exactly what I thought. I guarantee you that I would still have to write five paragraphs through five different posts. Think of it as preemptive posting. I say everything at once rather then parceling it out in response.

Before you are banned again I would love to respond. You might not be aware of this but Sony brought a game to market five years ago that does everything you can do in Home, and even more so. That game would be Star Wars Galaxies where players could build houses, decorate the interiors, and had fully customizable characters with thousands of pieces of clothing. The game had hundreds of animations, and the characters could ride on animals, or on vehicles.

Basically everything in Home was being done in that game five years ago on inferior hardware. By all means compare Star Wars Galaxies and Home for us. Tell me exactly how Home in the beta is succeeding where that game fails in social interaction. You have nothing to lose you can try the game free for a month. To me if you already have a working system that can do these things. There is no fundamental reason that you couldn't have refitted that system for this application, and if you wanted more Home version 2 could have gone into production.

Basically the PS3 owners should have the virtual world simulator they were promised right now. Hell if nothing else Sony could just provide one of their pay virtual worlds free of charge as a place holder. Sure there is no bowling, but at least the PS3 owners could run around killing crazy creatures with one another.
