| KBG29 said: It is funny that people say they see no interest in Home when they are on a gaming website forums section. One of the many parts of Home is the eveloution of gaming forums. I spend a lot more time looking on IGN, 1up, VGchartz, and PSInext than I do gaming. With Home launching the time around here and on website is going to turn into time in Home. In Home I can just go to the IGN or 1up section and check the news there. If I want to talk to the VG community I will just head to the VG club house. IMO the Internet is the greatest peice of software ever created, and Home is like going from 2d to 3d. Home will be my new internet from December 11, 2008 onward. I can go and get much of the same gaming info I need via boards in Home, and I can talk with someone or a group about it in a realtime conversation. Just one quick question. If you think Home is a boring idea, what are you doing on the internet? |
You are going to have one limited internet. Not every forum or company is going to be big enough or have enough money and resources to sponsor a Home space. If VGCharts can even afford a space, what's to say we can all go there and hangout? We'd have to be in the same area on the globe, or have all VGCharts members as friends. Plus, a realtime chat with the amount of members on forums would be chaos. Nothing I would ever want involved in. The only thing that makes forums seem organized is that it forces you to wait and type a response and keeps the conversation in an order of events layout, rather than blurt out at any time and have branching convos everywhere. The internet is not a piece of software, it is a network of users worldwide. Home is not converting the internet, it is creating a second life experience and unfortunately, there are no plans for IGN, 1up, or similar other spaces on Home. You think every company is going to pay Sony and use their service to reach a paltry 5-10million people worldwide rather than TV or radio or other mediums that would reach billions more?
EDIT: Sounds like me and vagabond are in agreement.
