There are a few things i wish that home did, or hopefully will do soon.
I would like game launching for ALL multiplayer games, as far as i can tell, i have 0 games that support game launching, which ones do?
This is one of the greatest ideas that i can see home doing well, the ability to set up multiplayer sessions from within a virtual lobby that could get decorated or something while people are incoming.
I would love an instanced bowling alley, or perhaps the ability to get your own personal bowling lane at home. repeat that with working arcade cabinets in your home.
If a friend in my home wants to play a round of one of my arcade games like pac man for example, they should be able to just walk up to an arcade cabinet, and select play, without the need to have the game installed at all. Really, how large of a file can those games possibly be, there is no way that a system as powerful as the ps3 could have problems with loading the entire game into memory, i am sure that a typical shirt texture is much larger than those old school arcade games.
I would appreciate being able to launch whatever game disk/movie disk from within home, I believe it would be a great thing if you could synchronize movie start times and watch a movie and talk with your friends during it, perhaps like the theatre, only with any movie i choose, provided my friends also have the same disk in their system.
multiplayer arcade games, like golden axe or something like that, perhaps make it an incentive for getting a platinum trophy from the golden axe beast rider game. Or any other games like that. *that may not sell on their own merits*
Go ahead and allow for a 'plays in home' mode or something similiar to psp remote play where certain games could be played within the home interface.
I want my trophy case so that my friends can oooh, and aaah at my virtual ps3 exploits.
I want the ability to see who in your current room is talking, perhaps give people with voice a mic icon attached to their name. allow me to figure out who around me is making noise, so that i can get closer or farther from them depending on what they are saying. Perhaps getting a complete list of people in the zone as well as in general what they were doing would be good.
I was trying to find a friend in the mall, tried to meet them, and then couldnt find their avatar at all. I would love perhaps getting a homing arrow towards them once you joined their area.
At least the text chat route they took is much better than LBP, which allows you to just start typing in order to type something, allowing you to keep your hands on your keyboard when in a discussion, unlike LBP's square, down down, then switch your hands onto the keyboard and start typing.
One thing i wish is that when i was changing clothes, i could continue to hear what people were saying.
Also with clothing, I would love the ability to customize or create my own.
Sorry, this turned into a bit larger a rant than i was expecting to go into tonight.
I can see many of these things getting ironed out once home goes 1.0 and not just beta.
I am enjoying it pretty well so far, just wish there were more things to do.
I did see how much furniture i could stack up and that was pretty fun.
ing clown shoes. The digital equivalent of drinking a cancer smoothie.
