Playstation Home. Has it officially failed?

Archive: 56 posts

So does anyone use Home anymore then? I havn't once since the first week it was released. And I don't see why I would again. Has it been updated at all recently?
I know they added the Red Bull air race (which I have yet to try) but this seriously seems to be the most epic fail ever. I never see anyone talk about it, or new updates about it.
So what are your thoughts? Sony's biggest mistake ever?
Personally, I think it quite possibly is. The potential was there, but because they released it 'unfinished', i doubt anyone will go back to it even if it does get great updates.		2009-02-25 17:41:00

It has failed, absolutely nothing to do. The red bull air race lasts about 5 minutes before you get bored of it. They hardly ever update it, it's like the developers are sleeping all the time. Also, there's hardly any good free stuff. :@2009-02-25 17:45:00

umm I used it once and thought it was really lame... like some kind of really really limited sims game or somthing.. dont know what the point was, all I saw was stupid guys hitting on really stupid girls (which is pretty sad considering they were both playing an effing playstation) and you walk too freaking slow.. I hated it. went to the mall and all the stores were trying to sell me furnature, FOR REAL MONEY! its like dude, I dont wanna pay real money for fake furniture.. They shoulda stuck a Widget Factory in there and had a PSHome currency, it wouldnt have helped too much, but yea PShome is a turd, covered in vomit, and blended into a milkshake.2009-02-25 17:47:00

I had some fun with it, but in the end the majority of the people I met up with were not people I wanted to socialize with. Plus the whole thing about the minigames having limited access was a terrible idea. :/2009-02-25 17:50:00

Terrible. My least favourite thing I've played on my PS3. The only thing I've seen that you can actually do is bowling, and that's terrible.

It's actually one BIG mistake.		2009-02-25 18:01:00

Yeah, the UK home isn't that great.

Sony could really turn home around though, here's how I (and probably many other people) think they could improve it: Trophies.

-Trophy Cabinet
Home was always intended to have a trophy cabinet, where you can put your trophies that you have earned on display. This still hasn't happened, and this was the feature I was looking forward to the most

Trophies for currency
Each trophy should be worth like 10 points or something like that and you could use that to buy new furniture and stuff. Paying real money for furniture is ridiculous.

Some other things are:

Game Launching
Televisions for streaming video (I've been wanting this loads)
Photo Frames
MORE STUFF TO DO

I really think home has potential but I don't see many of these changes coming into place as much as I want them to (they haven't even mentioned trophy cabinet since trophies actually came out last june or whenever!)		2009-02-25 18:30:00

yes for like home points to buy more furniture i think instead of trophies being money for Home how about just have lots of Mini Games in Home that earn you cash to buy bigger homes and furniture... i would love home if it was like that.		2009-02-25 18:38:00

Failure in terms of what? It sure isn't a failure as far as money earned. As long as the kiddies are out there spending a dollar here and there within Home I'm sure Sony will call that a success. The potential is still there, but Sony's going to have to add some serious content to draw a lot of us back to the icon on our XMB's.

Either way, Wii Music is much worse. 		2009-02-25 18:40:00

And if it happened nobody care, it doesn't matter if they have game launching or trophy cabinet, it would still be boring and useless...
So yeah home is probably one of sony's biggest mistakes. But i think that deep inside no one actually thought it would be good or fun and in that aspect it didn't really fail, at least not for me as i was actually positively surprised by it . Even if it still is boring and useless, it's a little less useless than i thought. If you count from a how many players who use it perspective then it's an epic fail..		2009-02-25 18:54:00

I wouldn't consider it a fail. Not a huge success, but not a fail. It has much room for improvements, but people still use it and buy it.

Plus it's optional. It's not like you have to use it.

BTW, I haven't actually touched the thing yet.		2009-02-25 18:58:00

I'm sure home is doing fairly well with the people that are into this sort of thing, they did manage to make a million $ in the first month selling virtual items and have managed to attract a few dozen partners into making stuff for home so there must be a large enough regular userbase to make their presence financially viable.2009-02-25 20:04:00

I was looking forward to HOME ever since it was released and HOME and LBP was the only things that I really wanted to get a PS3 for and I was really excited about them.

Glad one out the 2 delivered

HOME just was a quick bit of fun for the first couple of days and then I ain't been back since

So for me HOME = FAIL !!!!!!!		2009-02-25 20:17:00

I was in the beta program for Home and thoroughly enjoyed it... though it was more like a glorified multiplayer minigame parlor than anything, I did always mange to meet very decent people and have had good fun playing a round of pool or bowling with them.

I wasn't on it in so long, though, and apparently there was a day before the beta went full public where you could've gotten stuff for free that you pay for now, ah well... I'll make do with my penguin statue from ice breaker.

Though I'd agree, it isn't anything like Second Life and it doesn't have much to keep you coming back day after day, unless you're already into just chatting.		2009-02-25 20:27:00

Home has not failed in Sony's eyes as it has made a lot of money. I'm not sure why people buy virtual clothes but Diesel are paying them a lot for their own shop.2009-02-25 21:03:00

I agree with you Morgana, I think that Home will be most played from the kind of people who love to spend their spare time on second-life...

I tried it (Home) for like half an hour and find it really empty and useless.

I was expecting it would replace the xmb in some way and let me handle with ps3 from my avatar or something like that...
But why do I have to pay to buy clothes for my avatar when I do not buy new clothes for me?
I was waiting for it for that trophies feature they hyped so much, but still there it isn't.

I've only played around in home once or twice, but I was pretty underwhelmed by it's debut. The recent Killzone 2 demo promotion with all the Helghasts walking around in Home sounded pretty cool though and is the kind of stuff that I think Sony will have to do to draw more players in.

I'd like to customize my apartment and buy new clothing, but no way am I gonna do it for real cash. If they implemented some kind of virtual currency like what you've described, then I'd totally be in home more often. I think that's a great idea.		2009-02-25 22:49:00

Limited access minigames and severely overpriced virtual furniture make it the worst thing I've seen delivered to a console yet, with the exception of the original ghostbusters game.

Ryan! Where have you been recently?

I don't think Home has failed, it has succeeded in what it was trying to be but unfortunately what it's trying to be sucks.

I think it would be 10 times better if they added some way to play a game while staying in home, so you meet up with people and don't even quit home, just play the game whilst in Home. It would add so much more zaz to it. I think that's what the little "start game" part is all about in the menu. From what I've seen it doesn't work yet, so maybe that's what it does.		2009-02-26 01:44:00

Home is a complementary experience. I wonder what kind of mission you thought this features was supposed to have. You're free to like or not like. To me it's the kind of useless publicity bullcrap like Facebook and such things. Some pseudo social envirronement where people lose their time.

I think Home will grow in popularity following PS3's popularity. Right now it's simply not making a boom because the PS3 isn't booming.

You mean the slowest, most annoying chat room ever? Painfully bad idea. I can only imagine it's a test bed for some better, TBA technology.

Really. From the load times to the annoying music to the lame games to the heartbreaking inanities of illiterate eleven-pretending-be-twenty year olds, this has got to be the worst use of bandwidth in recent memory.		2009-02-26 02:21:00

Haha, i come online every day I just post alot less now.... i know... i suck. But i still read pretty much everything lol

What Home needs is what it promised us. So far it's given us very little, and instead just stupid updates like the Red Bull air race. I want useful things like starting games from Home, or (not useful admittedly) displaying movies/pictures/trophies from the hard drive etc.

I'm just worried that most people will base their main decision on liking Home or not from this beta. Which means even if great features get added, they may never get around to coming back. Especially with all the downloading required.		2009-02-26 04:09:00

The most interesting thing about Home is the ability to morph your avatar into something that closely resembles what you actually look like... but even that failed with the inability to really tweak things like height, body type, breast size, bum size etc.

The beta for Home was a lot of fun and it seemed like it might be promising. I met a couple of really great people on there while playing pool (which was the absolute best overall part of Home). For the most part though, the sad little boys hitting on virtual women (most of whom were actually OTHER boys) was just pathetic and too much to take so I left just when it was opened up to the public.

I actually went on there about a week ago after being away from it for a month or two... boy... it's really pathetic now. Empty... lame.... completely failed if you ask me.

There's no chance in hell that Sony would get money from me for virtual clothing to try to (what?)... impress virtual strangers in the hopes that we might become online friends or even better... lovers? Ridiculous. Wouldn't matter anyways, as being a Canadian with a perfectly good credit card that works everywhere else in the world ... apparently my card isn't good enough for Sony so nor is my business in the world of DLC.

Home = FAIL
Sony not addressing issue of credit cards that do not support the new AVS system or offering Canadians PSN cards = UBER FAIL!!		2009-02-26 08:26:00

At the moment, Home has promised so much, yet delivered so little. Where's the video/music streaming? Or the trophy rooms? And why aren't the home spaces region free? (The EU version lacks much of the content of the US/JP versions, like the Uncharted space)

If these issues aren't sorted out by the time Home goes out of beta, then I can safely say it has failed.		2009-02-27 15:33:00

I haven't actually even PLAYED Home. partially because of what other people say about it but mainly because it seems like you have to pay real money for pretty much everything on the game. I mean, PAYING REAL MONEY for some virtual clothes!? Err... no. Another reason I don't play it is because I heard the UK version was only like half of what the US and the Japanese got. I LIVE in the UK! So, has it failed? Probably?2009-02-27 19:14:00

You might be astonished at how many people are into that kind of crap and do actually buy things, like virtual houses, etc. This is hardly new, its all over PCs in different forms and some are doing well. Saw a documentary where one guy morgaged his home and spent a few hundred thousand for a virtual planet in one of these games. One of his buildings was an apartment complex and people actually pay him rent for a virtual apartment. I would say people with more money than sense but I think its more like people with less sense than money . These virtual worlds were made for freaks. The documentary also covered this. Its basically game developers who noticed people that play their RPG games, were actually using it to meet people online and cyber basically. So they decided to skip the game aspect of it and just make it for what it was being used for anyway.

I know I've posted before, but there's so much more for me to say so I just have to type it all out to you guys.

First off, outside, on your little balcony is pretty good in my opinion, the sights remind me of Cowes on the Isle of Wight. After seeing this, I imagined you'd be able to go there and stuff, it had got this idea into my head that this game would be an absolute phenomenon. But no, my character turned out to be almost exactly the same as everyone elses. Expecting me to pay MONEY to by fake clothes and fake furniture? As if.

I then finally realised how to go into the town square, and saw all the banners and I was pretty chuffed... at first. The repetative songs, the same borders, ten year olds dancing with their 'friends'. People trying to make it real, by commenting on the girls and stuff. That's just sad, man. And then, I walk into the centre and see a load of people playing chess. OH DEAR... they have the same expressions on their faces all the way through and the only look of perplexity is a fold of their arms. I was expecting more from this.

Next, I wandered over to the bowling alley, wasted half an hour of my life waiting for the download, then another twenty for the ability to venture into what seems like a small pub. I get inside and see foreigners playing bowling and scoring every time. What the hell? I then jogged casually, or just moved as fast as I could in other words, and waited another thirty minutes waiting for a game to finish. I then sat down with this guys, not having a clue what they were talking about and waited to bowl. I hit a strike on my first try. Impressive or just plain logic? You just have to move into a certain position, which can be predicted with ease.
In the end I got bored and left, wandering over to a game of pool. I couldn't be bothered to wait for something that would surely be terrible so I jogged into the little arcade thing. Yes, like three different games which I have no idea how to play. This was mind blowing, but for the wrong reasons. It was awful, plain and simple, no catches.

I quickly jogged out of the place at the same slow pace and waited for twenty minutes to leave, which would be great if a fire had began and the whole building was struck ablaze. Unrealistic stuff really annoys me in most cases. Next I just went over to the store with escalators in the window. Wow, it was fun wasting another hour of my life
Right now, I was practically so irritated that I could've exploded and splattered all over the terrible looking glass windows. I spent ten minutes moving over those stepping stones in the pond though, showing off my ub3r skills. That was the best part of the game, right there, although it was absolutely boring to a bloody pulp. I decided to venture up the stairs and meet this guy wearing a santa claus outfit, who I danced to the LocoRoco theme with. Everyone began following my example of dancing, even though at that second I was practically snoring in real life. I said bye to all of the foreigners who swore back in their languages and then I left.
No, this time I can't be bothered to write about how long it took.

Following of from that, I went into the theatre. The worst representation of a theatre ever. The strange man repeated that thing over and over again, the same movies playing every five seconds. That was it, that was my least favourite place out of everywhere. I left immediately.

I left that god forbidden bitesize of utter hell and ****ation, and went searching for that harbour I'd seen everywhere. Any exits out of here? Nope, it was bloody small, and I was so bored, flies hovered around my skull.

That's it, my perception of this terrible game, I've played it since then, but only to attempt for people to get annoyed with me.		2009-02-27 19:45:00

^^ :O that's a lot of typing Ghost. Good review though; I completely agree with it. And GrantosUK, good decision, lol.

My first impression of home was that it was like a (sort of) futuristic prison. I, too saw the empty chess and draughts tables, maybe with one in game and one with only one person on. The first place I downloaded (after home square) was the bowing alley. I don't know if anyone else thought this but I kind of felt out of place from the people already playing bowling. It didn't tell you anything of what to do, so I instead went into the arcade and downloaded the rubbish games (that are in no way entertaining). After that bad decision, I decided to try to join a bowling game. Eventually I got to play it, I didn't play for too long though because there was a bunch of idiots spamming random, pointless comments.

So anyway, my favourite thing on home has to be the pool tables. If you can find someone with a slight bit of sense then it is a fun challenge. My first game of home pool wasn't what you would call a fun challenge though. I played against a hyper, angry 'noob' (I don't usually use that term, but it suits this person). They just kept typing stuff like "WTF" every time I potted a ball or when they didn't pot a ball, which was quite a common occurrance (them missing the ball I mean, I'm not trying to show off or anything).

Also, the shops are pure robbery in my oppinion, why have to pay for one of the main turning points of the game (clothes, items and homes). It's ridiculous that anyone would pay for a new home on it. The only time someone will see it is if you invite a friend/ multiple friends (most of the time, if not, all of the time, no-one on my friends list is on home anyway). And, being honest, it would barley differ communicating in a home than communicating... anywhere else in the 'world' of home.

I can understand some people liking the concept of having a virtual life where you can look how you like or, however you want. But, what I can't understand is why people go over to the PSP advertisement, and start dancing in a line. I can't understand why people would complete all of the ecochrome mini-games in the arcade, just to get a strange white suit thing, or fully complete the Ice Breaker mini-game, just to get a T-shirt with a penguin on.

This game may, at first, seem like 100% failure, however I see some great potential for it to become one of the best things ever to happen for PSN. I mean, there's always that closed gate thing at the opposite side of home square; it's obvious that Sony has many more plans and since it is still in it's beta stage, there isn't, yet, full reason to bash it. In an old trailer of home, during the time of the first LBP trailer, it showed an indoor area with people talking, a basketball shooting area and a trophy showcase area (bearing in mind it was made before trophies were put into the playstation network).

And now, I realised I have also made a wall of text.		2009-02-27 21:05:00

Most fun I've had in Home was dressing up as a hot chick and getting a battalion of teenage boys follow me around. After that, I quickly change into a fat, ugly girly and scare them away. There was this one time a dude still followed me around, even after changing to fat, ugly man :eek:2009-02-28 12:47:00

Yeah, the UK home isn't that great.

Sony could really turn home around though, here's how I (and probably many other people) think they could improve it: Trophies.

-Trophy Cabinet
Home was always intended to have a trophy cabinet, where you can put your trophies that you have earned on display. This still hasn't happened, and this was the feature I was looking forward to the most

Trophies for currency
Each trophy should be worth like 10 points or something like that and you could use that to buy new furniture and stuff. Paying real money for furniture is ridiculous.

Some other things are:

Game Launching
Televisions for streaming video (I've been wanting this loads)
Photo Frames
MORE STUFF TO DO

I really think home has potential but I don't see many of these changes coming into place as much as I want them to (they haven't even mentioned trophy cabinet since trophies actually came out last june or whenever!)

if they do all that home will go from meh to amazing		2009-02-28 13:02:00

Well, I've been pretty bored of and disappointed with Home as well. I've had one reasonably decent game of checkers with someone with not much skill. The train arcade game is the only good one and it's usually busy, and I haven't tried the pool or bowling. I just don't like the lining up for a game concept. It should be more unlimited than that. I know it's a virtual place with a virtual presence, but if I want to spend the whole day just playing the train arcade game, why should I be denied that as the only two cabinets are already being used?

I still say is that it's biggest failure is going public beta and having the mainstream (and to a lesser extend, gameplay) media say that Home is "out" without any reference to it being Beta or potentially full of bugs. The first week was just hell, with ridiculously slow loading times and a tonne of abuse and assault.

Yeah, it might get better in the future. I'll likely check it out again when the full thing gets launched. Hopefully they will have more free content, more content in general in terms of things to do, no annoying ques, and better loading times. I don't want to wait half an hour to watch a 3 minute trailer than I can stream online on my PC while I sit and watch it. That's plain dumb and a waste of my PS3 time.

But it might be too late then, when the proper version is released. The teenager pick up scene might be too entrenched by then. 		2009-03-03 02:48:00

I usually just do the bowling (which I'm getting pretty good at, and I've met some nice enough people (while bowling) to at least carry on a decent conversation while I'm bowling. I've even met a few LBP friends on there as well lol.

There are arcade games in the bowling alley that are semi-neat .. but most are confusing and hard (for me anyways).

There are always tons of people in there while I am in there (usually between midnight and 4 am) .. so it must not be too big of a fail.

They expect a little much (price-wise) for the clothes and furniture though, and what's up with there being no bed? lol What kinda apartment doesn't have a bed! Wierd! haha		2009-03-03 04:07:00

Oh, man.. this game is BAD. I looked forward to it for a long time, hoping it would actually be interesting. For me, the only enjoyable thing to on it is to dress up as a girl and attract a crowd of desperate guys. Then, change into the ugliest guy-character and get my brother to go on the mic and say "Hey there big boy." and watch all the guys run away, hahah. But at this point I've completely given up on the game.
Oh, and the song that goes "Make your chain swing" made me want to never play Home again.		2009-03-03 04:30:00

It's not a game. It's a chat room. It does its purpose just fine, Although it could use more features.2009-03-03 07:32:00

Before Home came out, i was really stoked, from the video ive seen, it showed that you could bust out a tv and watch videos from your hard disk with friends and show off pics by putting them up on you wall. Now all i see are a bunch of transvestites and dudes hanging out and people dancing... EPIC FAIL2009-03-03 17:24:00

I'm in with the FAIL verdict. I did make a charater who looked 95% like me at the time... but I couldn't find a single thing to do to keep my interest. I didnt have a keyboard so chatting was a PITA, all bowling lanes/pool tables/chess tables were taken up... and theres no way I'm paying like 5 bucks for a sofa? Your kidding me.

I remember whispers in the wind of game based clubhouses... im a Socom fanboy even tho confrontation failed... but I would have loved to get together with my clan mates, and bust out the 3d maps they were talking about, and planning some strats, then launching right into the map from our clubhouse for a skirmish/clan match.

I would pay $5 for a game based club/guild/clanhouse. But i wouldnt pay the $100 it would take to provide seating for everyone.		2009-03-03 17:38:00
