Now i can go home in peace...

This is the first time I have the feeling to say WOW about something PS3 related. Wow indeed, great show Sony.

Absolutely stunning. This is the PS3 launch perfected. With hardware and software done awesomely, Sony has the makings for a full turn around.
I cannot wait to play with the stuff shown today.

It's already over? Meh.
Can't say I'm impressed. Home looked like Second Life HD but I'm not really interested in virtual worlds and stuff like that. What about all the copyright issues? Is Sony going to pay them or what?
Little Big Planet would be nice if it was a downloadable game but 60 bucks for a 2d platformer? No thanks.

if you can use them in games outside of home, yes. otherwise no.Shig said:
yep.
nope. playing games in a virtual world doesn't really interest me. they already have something that's an answer to xbla and vc though, and it's already pretty good.
not even close. wii sports isn't popular because of the games, but because of the simplicity of playing them. even if you bowl using the sixaxis motion sensing, going into live and bowling is going to be a lot more complicated than just loading wii sports.
potentially... but only if the pet has AI and needs looking after... otherwise no.
doesn't seem a long shot.

LITTLEBIGPLANET: EXPLORE, CREATE, SHARE.
Be Part of a Global PlayStation®3 Community Creating a Brand New Gaming World;
Genre-Defying, Astoundingly Imaginative Its More Than Just Gaming
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., March 7, 2007 -- Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios today revealed a glimpse of the LittleBigPlanet the first creative gaming experience for PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3) at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco, California. Developed by Media Molecule, LittleBigPlanet is a new PS3 community-based game with a hugely innovative concept behind it. Players meet on a blue and green planet scattered with individual plots and use their characters amazing abilities to play, create and share what they build with other gamers throughout the world via PLAYSTATION®Network.
The LittleBigPlanet experience starts with players learning about their characters powers to interact physically with the environment. There are obstacles to explore, bits and pieces to collect and puzzles to solve requiring a combination of brains and collaborative teamwork. As players begin to explore, their creative skills will grow and they will be ready to start creating and modifying their surroundings the first step to sharing them with the whole community.
Characters have the power to move anything in this glued and stitched-together 3D landscape; they have the power to design, shape and build both objects and entire locations for others to view and play. Theres no complicated level editor; all of these skills can be learned by simply playing the game. Creativity is part of the gameplay experience and playing is part of the creative experience. Players can make their world as open or as secretive to explore as they like. When its ready, they can invite anyone within the LittleBigPlanet community to come and explore their patch or can go and explore everybody elses.

SCEA Announces Little Big Planet

We were confident that PS3 would be the platform to lead the way in creative gaming, and LittleBigPlanet brings this concept to life spectacularly, said Phil Harrison, President of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios. By giving players the power to shape and share an entire virtual world via PLAYSTATION Network, we've created the space for PS3 owners to realize their creativity and craft their own unique gameplay experience.
So, how does it work?
 Play the game, learn the skills and then find your own way to play. There isnt a set solution to anything you live LittleBigPlanet however you want to.
 Create your own content customize your character and build your own locations. You have the power to rearrange anything in this unbelievably tactile landscape.
 Build, move, create, collaborate then share content with friends or publicly by inviting the whole world to come and visit your own location on LittleBigPlanet.
Key features:
Theres not just one way to play. Players craft their own individual experience
Unlimited possibilities for user-created content players can customize everything: their characters, the landscape around them and their own patch on LittleBigPlanet
Players discover and win new skills and items to aid them on their creative journey
Initial levels will be provided endless others will be user-generated on a global scale. LittleBigPlanet will change every day as players contribute their own levels
Online and offline multiplayer modes play alone, work as a team or get competitive
LittleBigPlanet global community for players to get involved with: includes player comments, rankings and easy communication with new and existing friends
A demo of LittleBigPlanet for PS3 is slated for the PLAYSTATION Network this fall. The full version will follow in early 2008.

Are you f*cking kidding me? It's like you Nintendo fans are from another planet.
Personal avatars= The Sims?
Home creation & decorating= The Sims?
Arcade games= XBLA?
Bowling/ traditional games= Wii Sports... hahaha what?
Proposed ability to own a pet= fable 2 amirite?
Anyway, I agree with whoever said HOME, as a matchmaking service, seems way too cumbersome. I hope there is a standard, more streamlined way to send invites and initiate a game without having to jump into HOME and walk around looking for your buddies.

have you read any of my other posts here? lbp looks awesome.distrbnce said:
it's not being a troll to say 'home doesn't remotely appeal to me' because it doesn't.
i can see why it appeals to some people as i can see why second life appeals to some people.
it's not being a troll to point out that this has basically been done before to correct someone saying the opposite.
sorry if that offends you but you'll just have to deal with it. home isn't going to be for everyone.

which is why it wouldn't surprise me if nintendo are cooking up something similar. Home is basically what I imagined Animal Crossing would become before the Wii was announced without a hard drive. It would be a missed opportunity if Nintendo doesn't allow animal crossing to tie all of the loose ends together in the Wii menu. Playing virtual console games in your AC house was done on the GC... the Miis will clearly replace the AC character, and the DS indicated an online shift so I'd expect it to go the same way. It should have been preinstalled, however, and nintendo's lack of storage space will mean they can never match what Sony is doing with all of the integration. the fact Nintendo already has all of this stuff in one form or another on the Wii makes it seem even worse that isn't integrated in any way

SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT INC. ANNOUNCES
GROUND-BREAKING, NEXT-GENERATION 3D ONLINE-USER COMMUNITY
FOR PLAYSTATION®3 Home
Free Download to Allow Broad User Interaction in Highly Detailed Community Environment; Opens Door to User-Created Content, Collaboration and Commerce
TOKYO and SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., March 7, 2007 Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) today announced the unveiling of a first-of-its-kind 3D online user community service for the PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3) computer entertainment system. The service, known as Home, will enable users to create their own avatar and explore a real-time virtual community, as if they are playing a detailed 3D game for PS3. The service will become available globally beginning in fall 2007.
Home will be demonstrated at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco, California on March 7 as a key element of SCEI Worldwide Studios President Phil Harrisons keynote presentation titled Game 3.0: Developing and Creating for the 3rd Age of Videogames.
Home is a real-time online 3D, networked community available on the PLAYSTATION®Network. It allows PS3 users to interact, communicate, join online games, shop, share private content and even build and show off their own personal spaces to others in real time. Home will be available as a free download from the PLAYSTATION®Store and will launch directly from XMB (XrossMediaBar) on PS3.

SCEI Announces Home
2-2-2-2
With an avatar uniquely customized according to each users preference, users can explore the 3D community that is Home a sleek, modern environment featuring spacious common areas; custom spaces dedicated to specific games; and personal apartments. Each user is assigned an apartment in Home where they can invite others to join them as they show off their own style in an area they can personalize themselves with furniture, art and other items even a different view from their windows. They can also show their personal video, pictures and other digital media content found on their PS3 hard drives in their apartments. Very rich interactive communication with others is achieved through built in text, audio and video chat, along with sophisticated emotional animations for each character.
Sharing continues in the Hall of Fame, where users can display new 3D trophies that will be unlocked through in-game milestones for the games they own as well viewing the trophies of other users across the PLAYSTATION Network and for other games theyve yet to purchase.
This is a significant step forward in the area of user community services and emergent entertainment experiences, said Izumi Kawanishi, Corporate Executive and CTO Software, SCEI. While the 3D graphics demonstrate the power of PS3 and the PLAYSTATION Network, the most impressive feature in Home is the variety of ways in which multiple consumers, as well as our third-party partners, can experience the next generation of communication by interacting and sharing among each other. I feel strongly that this unique blend of community, user-generated content, collaboration and commerce will expand the future of computer entertainment.
Home will go into a closed beta test this spring with a full launch targeted for later this year. By having a broad range of business partners participate in Home from 3rd party publishers and developers to brands outside traditional gaming categories - along with a powerful selection of upcoming game software titles for PS3, SCEI will continue to expand the horizons of networked entertainment and vigorously promote PS3 as the next generation computer entertainment platform.

I know of "Second Life"... Seriously, it's been done before in bits and pieces EVERYWHERE... Sony just took bits and pieces from here and there, chuncks for Second Life, polished them up nice and shiny, then put them together in one package... That's the POINT of my post, not disputing if it was done before or not... sheesh...
Some people will like it, some won't... and *shock*, some may use it and eat it up... It's the community aspect Sony was missing, they finally get it and now people are doing their best to downplay it... "Sony doesn't have the achievements, another reason why MS is gawdly", "oh, what's that, trophies? Who cares"... "Sony doesn't have stuff like Mii's, har har", "oh, whats that, they have avatars now? Who cares"... And now Sony has a service that the others don't have in total, time to downplay...
Between THIS stuff, and especially the games coming out for the PS3, the only thing left is the price... Will this stuff and the games along with Blu-Ray playback justify the price? For some, by reactions in this thread along the lines of, "I'm gonna have to pick up a PS3 now", apparently so...
Fact of the matter is, MS and Ninty as scrambling at this very moment to counter this... and in the end, the consumer wins having more options thanks to competition...

Really what's to match? It basically IS animal crossing. The part that's inovative is actually the only part that interests me: Sharing video and audio content from your PS3. It's also the part that worries me the most because the posibilities for technical hicups are major.
