July - E3 - The Beginning Of The End!
11:20 a.m.: You may remember a game called ragdoll kung-fu. This was written by a very small team... They released this game to great critical appeal and great critical acclaim... They've formed a company and they've been working on an amazing product for the Playstation 3 that I'm delighted to share with you for the first time. Mark and i want to introduce you to this awesome game."
The LIttleBigPlanet character on the screen is adorable (nicknamed "sackboy"). The graphics are surprisingly impressive. There is field of vision. The textures are incredibly rich. The inventory looks like an electric lasso thats grows out of the character. He creates a block of wood with a cog on it -- the same thing that flanks the right side of the stage.
"This is all about game creativity... we're going to show you two things. Basically how easy it is in this game to make stuff. This isn't about seperate, complicated tools, this is about empowering players to do what they want."
11:21 a.m.: Alex grabs a controller and quickly joins Mark in world. His sackboy has an Evil Knievel outfit on. Classy. We're not sure if these outfits are user-created or not.

Indeed.
You know alot of folks always tout the fact that one of the biggest benefits to XBL is the community aspect of it, how easy it is to chat with friends, etc.... and while I don't game much online anymore I can see the appeal.
Sony goes and offers a 3D virtual environment their take on the whole community aspect, and suddenly that's a bad thing?
Incredible.

Wow...
I can't believe that we have such a robust applicatiion in development for our PS3s. The more shocking bit is that most of this stuff was held under wraps for so long. If Sony did a marketing campaign detailing Home with some great applications it would sell the systems like $600 wasn't nothing.
Just when I was thinking "Wow the Wii channels with Everyone Votes is pretty cool" this announcement makes that stuff look like last gen already. I'm sooo glad Sony had the foresight to allow us to swap out the hard drives with larger ones.
My PS3 purchase is looking pretty good right now!! Now what's up with the firmware?!?!?

Maybe they arent trolling. Just cause they dont orgasm over the same stuff as you doesnt mean they hate it. Home looks great and is certainly better then what was expected but to act like home is the end of the console wars is kinda silly.
Its definetly obvious while Home "Basic" is free Home "Premium Content" is gonna cost quite the premium.
I swear I had an idea for something exactly like HOME 8 years ago when I was designing my dream console. I thought Nintendo would do it first with an online version of Mii Channel but Sony just knocked the shit right out the park with this.
The damage control will be glorius. If I were MS I would be very nervous if my console wasn't 200 dollars cheaper. If PS3 ever sees a price drop comparable to 360 I would expect an immediate switch in dominance with a service like this and its FREE.

"We call it communal creativity and I think this is going to be a big part of Game 3.0."
11:25 a.m.: They're able to control the arms of the characters in a really seamless way. Mark pets the giant orange they just created with his sackboy's left hand. He grabs onto the cog, hurls himself on top of it, and starts running as it spins faster. It's a little emergent logrolling game.
When they stop moving, the camera moves in on them and we're again reminded of the game's incredible graphics. They may appear simple, but the design coupled with the incredibly rich textures creates an environment that is very impressive.
"So what you've seen us doing is use some very simple, creative tools that allow you to make these very tactile, highly interactive environments."
11:27 a.m.: Phil and friend join Mark and Alex for a four-player game that's been user-created. The world has some depth, but the characters move in and out automatically as needed. They're tasked with collecting sponge while trying to maniipulate their way through various obstacles.
"This is a great example of emerging gamplay. The designers have simple added an orange and a football. [Referring to the game at hand] We want to get to the right. We've got the orange and the football."
They need to make their way over a giant soccer ball (remember those?) so several of them cooperate to drag an orange over

If the extent of your dislike was just that sentence then no, but if you keep spamming your unwarranted hate for it then maybe.

It means your gonna be paying lots of dough if you want more then the basic home stuff. They hinted it like crazy with all the talk of getting stuff from the sony store.
Home has lots of potential for sure with whats potentially available but to fully embrace it the free line is a bit misleading

Agree completely. Don't think this effects Nintendo all that much, at least now, because IMO most buyers of the Wii right now don't care about online interaction. Microsoft on the other hand... Still, the price has to come down. Home's a GREAT feature, but probably not worth an extra 200 dollars to many consumers.
111:30 a.m.: Jetpacks await them on top! All four players equip their packs, work together to lift a massive shell onto a lever, and are rewarded with a door that opens.
"Hooray, teamwork. Let's bring it back to Game 3.0. One of the things we had to do was support everything being dynamic in the entire world."
The camera zooms in again when they stop. They can control their arms and, if done fast enough, they can hit each other. C'mon, this wouldn't be a video game without a little bit of rough-housing.
