PlayStation®Home General Discussion

[bambaroo]

Hi all,

PlayStation Home will be taken offline for scheduled maintenance this Thursday 1st September at 8AM BST. During the maintenance, you will be unable to access PlayStation Home.

Here's what to expect after the maintenance is over..... 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Velocity Racing League enters a new phase this week with the highly anticipated Sodium2 Nemesis Update.

 

With the start of the Nemesis stage of the Velocity Racing League a new challenge awaits you in the form of a new track – Wasteland Spires. Set within the site of an ethically questionable and borderline illegal mining operation on the exoplanet Iridos, the twists and turns of this track will see you speeding past the abandoned machines and facilities that the long-gone corporations left behind. What’s more, you’ll also be able to prove your worth on the reverse version of this track.

 

New technological advances pioneered on Iridos have also paved the way for a new set of Velocity Racer upgrades, also released this week. New rocket boosters and hover engine upgrades will give you even more customizability options for your craft, allowing you to make the decisions that could see you sitting pretty at the top of the Sodium2 leaderboards.

Your hard fought quest for bragging rights also gets a boost with the introduction of the Holo-rank system. When you enter the Launch Grid, your level will be displayed on the back of your avatar for all to see – wear it with pride!

Also added are a range of smaller improvements to Sodium2 based on your feedback such as the ability to quickly select new classes of vehicle in multiplayer, and removing chat bubbles in race. Head to Sodium2 now to check out all the Nemesis Update has in store. 

Konami brings their wildly popular hip-hop karaoke title, Def Jam Rapstar, into the world of PlayStation Home this Thursday.

The Def Jam Rapstar Sound Studio is a new personal space styled after a state-of-the-art recording studio and befitting a world-class hip-hop artist. Pick yours up from the Estates store in the PlayStation Home Shopping Centre

 

Also new this week, we have a range of clothing from Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the critically acclaimed cyberpunk prequel from Square Enix. Head over to Alter Ego to kit yourself out in Adam Jensen's overcoat, shades, and combat armour.

 

Lots of PlayStation Home users have been asking for more canine companions, and LOOT have answered that call with their latest release of three cuddly Schnauzer puppies. Head over to the LOOT store in the first Shopping Centre to take home Snoop, Georgie or Mona from Thursday. Don’t worry – they’re already house-trained!

 

Once upon a time in the West, the good, the bad and the ugly people of the fledgling United States of America endured hardship beyond measure. Now nDreams brings you the Wild West pack to keep you warm on your trails, cut-outs and backdrops to add a touch of Western flair to your apartment and the almighty Tumble Weed Cannon; all of which can be yours for only a fistful of dollars (or equivalent). Also available as a bundle, for a few dollars more.

Feeling a bit under the weather? Well then, get nursed back to health with this week's offerings from Universal in the form of a Alice Cooper-esque Nurse's outfit bundle! It includes a hat, glasses, gloves and dress.

Keep the summer alive with the new Singstar Summer outfits out this week, including the Beach Babe, Beach Hunk and his and hers Holidaymaker outfits, all available from the Singstar Store and of course everyone’s favourite Threads store.

nice update,looks like ill be doing some more sodium racing,any news on raising tht lvl40 cap yet?

[Pacman_Ownage]

Maybe it's just me...

...But are the quality of those puppies... rather bad?

I hardly ever see companions to compare them to anything... but... from other promotional pictures of other companions... they look like extremely flammable, and would melt onto any child given them...

The rest seems like the standard for Home updates....

...that sounds a little more cynical than I wanted it too..

Though I must stress that is not my opinion. I was just pre-empting the backlash from this update being a bad one, supposedly.
