Forums - Gaming Discussion - PS Home shuts down TODAY, should it return on PS4?

(First thread created by me by the way.)

I didn't realize until just checking right now that PS Home is closing in 10 days! I knew it was sometime in 2015 but I forgot exactly when. So this has got me thinking, would you like Sony to bring back PS Home on the PS4?

I played PS Home quite a decent bit. The first time I did was back in 2010 and I thought it was fun at first but then quickly got bored of it, but I do remember having fun times on it still. It was fun to just try and unlock items for your apartment and character. It was also cool to see all the game-themed rooms from Sony games or IPs such as that BUZZ one or I remember others such as the Modnation Racers one as well.

I think it would be great if Sony brought it back for the PS4 though because I think it was just a useful thing to have. You didn't lose anything from playing it since it was free, and it was just a nice thing to play when you felt like it. 

 

edit: I changed the title to say today because of the fact that today is the day it closes now.

I don't even know what PS Home is



I think I used PS Home a total of...two times? I really don't care if I ever see it again, lol. A bit weird to know it's going to be gone forever soon, though.

I had no idea it was still alive.



I remember how hyped it was back at the start of the 7th gen. I don't think I've really ever used it. At least I don't remember using it.

No.. Waste of time. None of the cooler features of Home ever made it in, streaming your movie and music collection to your player owned spaces, trophy rooms etc. and it quickly became a place for creeps and douchebags who got voice chat taken away. It just never materialized into what it was supposed to be. A hub for every Playstation owner to socialize and launch into games and share media.
Sometimes you just have to leave Home and never return.

Did the bolded really happen? I wasn't even aware of that.  I thought it just didn't have voice chat in the first place.

Basically.

For all the flak, Nintendo gets about their network capabilities, Miiverse is home done right without the adverts. Obviously not with all the theoretical features, but good on the social aspect.

I hoped that Home became more integrated into the core PSN experience instead of being something completely separated. This is why Miis and Xbox Avatars work



Used it a lot the first time it came out. It has potential and with the ps4 doing so good they should go for it. They could make it free as in you don't need ps plus for it. I think it could do well especally if you properly integrated it with games like gta. Also that trophy room would be good!
