Home -- is THIS living?

[Rpruett]

It's a 3d virtual chat room. With some mini games, the ability to chat in a variety of ways. It advertises Sony and other companies products.


I agree with the general premise that Home just doesn't have anything to 'do' to make it enjoyable. In-game trophies, challenges, enjoyable things would all make Home more worthwhile.

It's an evolving process. I don't think it will ever be my cup of tea so to speak though. It just needs more direction and purpose.

All Home Spaces need to have more 'to do'. The Home Square should be the place where you just run around and chat and talk. The individual spaces should be a place where you enjoy your time doing other things related to that space. That's the biggest problem with Home. Resident Evil 5's space forcing you to own or have a copy of Resident Evil 5 and then allowing you to play RE2 on the arcade is a great idea.


They should have an entire Arcade actually. Things like this will add life, and enjoyment beyond chatting. PSOne, PSTwo and any other game libraries these companies have should be placed on Home and on Arcades. Maybe even if they want to make money off of it, offer cheap arcade memberships. Things of that nature.

They need to turn the theatre into something relevant. I suggested streaming music videos. Similar to MTV. Stream different Sony artists music on Playstation Home in the theatre. Offer ACTUAL movies in the theatre. Do something other then run commercials 24/7.






As for many of your complaints? Frame Rate issues? Please. You're really grasping at straws. I'm no fan of Home either but there isn't frame rate issues.

Head in the way watching a movie? Go to Full Screen mode.

I do agree about the waiting your turn thing. Either make more (Chess Tables for example) or allow more than one person to use it at a time. Although as a previous poster stated, increasing the overall number of games should decrease waiting times of many things.

You just have to download every area "once", so it's really not a big deal. Then you just load into a new area and the downloads are very fast.
