Gut das Sony The Getaway und Eight Days eingestampft hat um HOME die nötige finanzielle Unterstützung zu gewähren. Fokus auf das Wesentliche, das macht einen Gewinner aus :smile5:
http://www.mcvuk.com/news/32666/Microsoft-Were-beyond-HomeXbox exec calls Sony’s Home “Second Life for hardcore gamers”
Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg has disputed consumer demand for Home, dubbing the technology as outdated and pointed to Live as a “premium experience” by comparison.
In an interview with Kotaku, the group product manager for Xbox 360 said: “What Home to me feels like is Second Life for hardcore gamers. It doesn’t feel like it broadens the experience and invites people in.
“When they unveiled it, it seemed innovative. I think what’s happened is now here we are a couple of years later and we feel beyond that. It feels like 2005 tech in 2008. I’m not sure that’s what people want.”
Greenberg’s comments about Home – which is due to launch today – arose as he addressed the issues of price cuts. While he acknowledged the ability to lower the Xbox 360’s price has “benefited us tremendously”, he did not believe reducing the price of Xbox Live would help add value to the console.
He referred to Xbox Live Gold, which currently costs £40 a year, as an “upscale experience”, adding: “I think we have seen people are willing to pay for the premium experience. When they compare Live, even to Home, there is still a huge gap.”
The Beta for Playstation home is now available to everyone, and now you know what I know: this is what happens when your marketing department tries to make a game. Here is everything you need to understand about Home, if you should accidentally launch it from your XMB: press and hold the Playstation button in the center of your Dual-Shock or Sixaxis controller. From the menu that appears, select Quit.
There are things about Home that are simply beyond my understanding. Chief among these bizarre maneuvers is the idea that, when manufacturing their flimsy dystopia, they actually ported the pernicious notion of scarcity from our world into their digital one. This is like being able to shape being from non-being at the subatomic level, and the first thing you decide to make is AIDS.
If you approach an arcade machine and there is a person standing in front of it, you will not be able to play it. Likewise, if you see people bowling and think that bowling is something you might like to do, you probably wont be able to. Unable to play arcade games like Ice Breakers and Carriage Return the first several times we logged on, these games had begun to take on an epic stature in our minds. These were gushing fonts of liquid fun, habit-forming and dangerous - for the good of our virtual society, the supply had to be controlled. When we were finally able to play them, we learned that they were the equivalent of browser games.
There is nothing about the experience of using Home to suggest that you are actually moving through a single, contiguous environment. It is very clearly a handful of walled off zones, where you are confronted by incessant load screens in a desperate search for stimulation. From the moment you enter one of their ultrahygenic "amusement regions," it's clear that all life has been burned away. You get the sense that this is a place in which no interesting thing could ever happen.
There is already a growing school of Home apologetics, fostered by the same Order of Perpetual Masochists who lauded the rumble-free Sixaxis at launch and suggested, hilariously, that Lair and Heavenly Sword were videogames. They're under the impression that because something is free, this places it on some golden dais beyond censure. It's no virtue to give away something that no-one in their right mind would buy. They have no idea what this world is for, and that ambiguity infuses every simulated millimeter of it.
This is the terrible secret that roils beneath their false universe: it is nothing more than a cumbersome menu, a rampart over which you must hoist yourself to accomplish the most basic tasks.
(CW)TB out.

Muss ja von nem schlimmen PS3 Hater stammen, wenn er sogar Hevenly Sword und Lair bashen muss. Wie arm doch manche Menschen sind.
Home wird noch wachsen und gedeihen, glaubt es mir.

Immer so geil wie man sich über kostenlose Community Features, die man nichtmal nutzen muss so auskotzen kann, und den Bash zu Lair und HS hätte er wirklich stecken lassen können, keine Ahnung was das mit Home zu tun haben soll und letzteres ist ein gutes Spiel.
Gerade als PS3 Fan sollte man sich über sowas wie Home auskotzen, denn die Energie die da verschwendet wurde, hätte man effektiver für Games nutzen können.
Aber den wahren PS3 Fan zeichnet es wohl aus alles komplett kritiklos hinzunehmen und wie das eigene Leben zu verteidigen was Sony einen vorwirft.

Der Fakt das etwas kostenlos ist schützt nicht vor Kritik. Man darf genauso kritisieren wie bei allen anderen Dingen auch.
Sind beides IMO Schrottspiele. Da muss man nichtmal bashen.
Das faszinierende ist doch:
Egal welche US-Seite momentan etwas über HOME schreibt. Es gibt praktisch keine positive Meinung.
Das krasseste jedoch ist, dass im IGN-Text zu lesen ist, dass es nur einen Redakteur im kompletten IGN-Staff (!) gibt, der Home vorsichtig Potenzial bescheinigt. Das muss man sich mal vorstellen.
Im GAF bashen mittlerweile die dicksten Sony-Fanboys Home. Ich finde, das sagt einiges aus.
We recently showed you what kind of fashions you can spend about $20 on to make your PlayStation Home avatar look just a little more snazzy. For 49 cents, you too can wear a virtual cowboy hat — or at least your Home avatar can.
So is this the future? A world of cheap avatar fashion purchases?
Sony seems to believe in it. Microsoft, I’ve learned, does not.
The day before Home launched I got a (clearly unrelated) briefing from Xbox product manager Aaron Greenberg and I brought up this topic. I asked: When/how/how-often will we see cheap clothing options for our Xbox 360 Avatars available for paid download?
“I don’t think there’s where you’re going to see a tremendous amount of revenue,” Greenberg said, phrasing his expression of Microsoft’s disinterest in selling Avatar clothing in way that argues there’s no profit in such a technique. Recently, Microsoft gave away the first batch of new Avatar clothing for free. They don’t think they’re leaving money on the table.
The kind of Avatar upgrading that Microsoft is interested in will involve gamers unlocking items for their Avatars through the games they are playing. The tools for this are now in the hands of developers. So when will we experience the first results? “As soon as developers get it done,” Greenberg said.
So is 49 cents too much for a cowboy hat? Is paid clothing for avatars not the way to go? Or is it a worthwhile optional offering for a service like Home or Xbox Live?
(It should be noted, of course, that Home and all of the PlayStation Network’s services are free. Xbox Live Silver, the service that supports Avatars is free as well. Xbox Live Gold, which is required for multiplayer gaming, costs $50.)
No, Home is not a broken promise. Home is still in BETA and is not a finished product. Just like any other BETA, it lacks most of the content and has many problems. Without betas, finished products would come out messed up and then no one would be happy. Sony has been running the Home BETA for a little over two years now and is greatly improving. Sony is playing it smart because they know that this service has a lot of hype behind it and they do not want to fail on it. Many people say they are losing interest in Home because it keeps getting delayed and pushed back but wouldn’t you rather them do that than release the full thing and it be garbage?
There was no official release date for the full version of Home. They stated time periods of when they PLANNED to release it but they did not meet those dates. Plus, what can you guys complain about when they have just released the Home Open BETA and you are able to use the service while they are improving it. Now even though it is not perfect right now and it lacks many things it is still in BETA. Home is a great place (right now) for meeting new people, playing games together, and sharing information. The main reason that Home is still in BETA is because they are wanting to build some support from 3rd party companies. If you have seen the Red Bull space that is coming, you know very well what I am talking about. Working with companies and creating that bond is not something that is easy to do and does take time. You guys also need to remember that Sony has more to worry about than just Home. Sony has put off Home a couple times but now they have full strength going at it and it shows. When the servers were horrible because of all the traffic, they had that fixed not that long after it had launched. They launched 1.0 only a couple weeks ago and now they have the open beta up with some new content. PATIENCE is the key and it will rewarded. Home will improve as time goes on and is looking very promising but you have to be patient.
Home has great potential for everyone; it just isn’t there yet because it is still in BETA. So in conclusion, home is NOT a broken promise because home is NOT finished.
