So would you guys consider it (Far Cry gamespace) useful/helpful in anyway? Or is it the kind of thing that when you've seen it once, you never care to see it again. That would be a shame.
Well Gamespaces are like games. There are great ones and there are not so great ones.CartridgeBlower said:
Uncharted one could last you hours as there is the mystery surrounding the three closed doors and how to attain codes to open them..etc. It's really good looking as well (I believe it's the house you see in the background during the Uncharted intro, when Sully & Nathan leave Elena).

They have to make them useful by putting games in it that makes you want to come back to it. The Motorstorm Home space apparently has some kart racing game in it.
SolidSnakex said:
Replayable games at that, or events.
Spaces are like websites. A game space like this is like a promo site for a game. Whether you visit more than once or not depends on what's on the site. But even the "visit once" kind of websites still serve a purpose. For people who are particular fans of a game, they might also see more value in it as a meeting place for like-minded fans.
People will probably go to check out new things in Home, even if they're just 'visit once' things..
But, as I keep saying, the easiest way - IMO - to keep a steady stream of new things to see or do coming into Home is unlocking items for the player in home as they play games. There needs to be a constant stream of new things to see or do in Home, otherwise once you've seen it all, there's little reason to revisit regularly. But if I were unlocking things as I play games, I'd be popping into home frequently. While I played through the namco museum beta, I was visiting home very often. Imagining that across all my games, and it would be awesome.

Which is why devs should consider putting Home spaces up before the games are released. So they could update them with new material as it becomes available. Do things like debuting new footage in Home or taking fan questions through that Home space.

Does Home split you up into servers based on location or is it just random? Like will you see the same people over and over again because the servers are split a certain way?
I think what Sony needs to do is really tie the individual games to home if they want to make it popular. They could potentially have optional trophies, quests, or tasks from the game that extend into home if they make it deep enough. Actually, giving Home its own separate list of trophies to start off with would be a great way to get people to explore it.SolidSnakex said:
Also, having various rewards through Home for achieving certain milestones in your games is one of the best ideas. It could even be done on a publisher by publisher basis rather than a game by game basis. Meaning, if you collect 100 EA trophies, you can get some snazzy exclusive Home content courtesy of EA.
I haven't experienced Home yet, so I'm excited to try it out. I don't have high expectations initially, but I can see a lot of potential regardless.

Wollan, you're in Australia like me, are we getting this today? Or tomorrow?
SolidSnakex said:
Yea, that would be cool. I would love being able to go into a KZ2 space and have some dev's there to answer questions about the game once and awhile.
Also, this whole idea of using spaces as websites could be implemented in so many different ways. Imagine if Home was a place where you could not just find info on games, but info in general. Spaces could be created focused around high profile movies that have yet to be released with exclusive behind the scenes videos. TV studios like NBC or FOX could have their own spaces where they could push their upcoming or popular shows and broadcast the most recent news. Car manufacturers could have virtual dealerships where you could go to look at their new lineup of cars, or even test drive them. The possibilities are there, but the realization of these possibilities will determine whether Home is truly successful or not.

I think that could work. Take the Motorstorm Home space that's supposed to have a kart racing game. They could make it where you can play it with or without Motorstorm: PR but if you have PR it'll allow you to unlock trophies in the kart racing game.
some one touched on it earlier in this thread .. but i'm very interested in how home cn intergrate it's self into a game, launching wise.
now i've tried out warhawk launching and very handely it does give you the option to exit back into home.
but ..like ... i mean take hotshots golf for eg. that game uses the most god aweful virtual lobby system, like home for babies .... you could easliy FULLy replace that experience with a Home game space...
so yeh ... wonder if it's possible for some kinda streamlined system when you can be in home, be in a EA gamespace or something, game launch into a match, then when it ends drop right back into home.
so basiclly doing away with the games front end menu's etc completely... more match launching than just game launching

When did you go back?
For immersion's sake, I'd also like to see the characters from the games implemented into the Home spaces. If voice work was added then the application becomes way too bloated, so that's probably a no-go. But just some models that you can speak to through text bubbles would be cool. They could also serve as help desks, or a place to claim your rewards, or give out objectives.
With a game like MotorStorm where there is no main character, a generic racer dude hopped up on Mountain Dew would work.
Also, they need to put the games music into the home spaces. I'd love to see the MotorStorm home space look and sound like the festival they're always showing in the background of the main menu. It would be like a rave party.

Damn me for being at work today, If I had known this was coming up today, I would have taken today off instead of yesterday. :lol
It's been tossed around a lot. Just a rumor. I'm not sure if Sony ever commented on it. I think it's a missed opportunity if they don't though. Home is setup so that the publishers can use the SDK and basically create and distribute whatever they want, I think that's 100% certain.elohel said:

So will our data from the Closed Beta carry over, or were the rumors in the other thread that said otherwise true?

Seldom can I be arsed with trophies. If they are a 'currency' I hope there's other forms of currency.
Technically just playing games would eventually fetch you some kind of reward, it's not like you'd have to go out of your way. The other option would probably be real world money, but I'd think those items would remain separate from the free rewards items anyway -- just to avoid giving any kind of monetary value to trophies.radioheadrule83 said:

Your credit card might suffice
The whole trophies = currency thing was a rumour that probably isn't true anyway.
Unlockable items shouldn't all be purchaseable, however, IMO. Certain stuff should only be attainable if you've achieved various things in games.

Going to be interesting to see how populated home is tomorrow... Though I'm disappointed about trophies not equaling currency (though I doubted it would anyway).

I definitely don't believe Trophies will = Home dollars. Especially since the Home Store is just an extension of the PlayStation Store and utilizes the same Wallet and funding sources.
I DO believe that there may be rewards based on overall Trophy Level or something. Reach Level X get some limited edition sparkly Home items/clothes/whatever. And also, I expect individual devs to be able to reward players with promotional items based on their own criteria, whether it be Trophies or whatever.

Can anyone explain to me how to use namco's arcade beta? How do I use it within Home?
They mentioned that Home rewards will be given not only by game activities and Home activities but also by Trophy levels (this was mentioned a couple of weeks ago when they published the 1.0 changelist). There isn't anything like 'Home dollars' but you get rewards for overall PSN activities.
Byakuya769 said:
You download the beta... play the games to earn Home "gifts", which range from clothing items, to decorations to arcade machines that you can place in your Home space and/or Clubhouse. If others have also taken part in the beta, they can play the arcade machines also through Home.

I would love this, but i really don't think it will ever happen because
-Home is 720P native and GT:5 is 1080p (completely different rendering engines)
-the models in GT:5 have many, many more polygons than anything in home.
-Polyphony Digital is busy enough just trying to get the full version ofGT:5 out sometime in the next couple years. (Can you say 'damage modeling?')
-What functionality would this add? You wouldn't be able to drive them, simply look, which you can already do from the game itself.
