CAGiversary!
I read this rumor on the 1up.com mesageboards, Could the PlayStation Home, Sony's blending of achievements and Miis be that big surprise? While the rumor seems to make sense, keep in mind while reading through it that it came from an anonymous source and that the half-dozen development studios we spoke with hadn't heard a thing about it.Playstation Home sounds like it could be an interesting, lo-fi, killer app, as described by our source.
Basically, you get to make an avatar for your console (like a Mii) and this avatar has a room. As you play games and accomplish certain tasks, you will receive items with which to adorn the room that are specific to the game (achievements). The kicker is that this is going to be a new requirement for every PS3 game...This also sounds kind of like it could fulfill the promise Sony made at last year's GDC keynote to bring social networking to the PS3.
"So we move from product based to service based, starting with packaged product augmented by downloadble content. We'll enhance this with social networks, the MySpace experience, this will be a key part of the PlayStation3 going forward. What brings it to life is the voice chat, the text chat, the video, the social features we're building in for the future."
What do you all think of this rumor?
