PlayStation Home General Discussion

[guyvernoid22]

IM just curious to what new things are coming in the coming months! we have already seen what SCEJ has proposed in terms of new spaces to come from sega and other devs, and SCEA but! What extras has SCEE got up there sleeve?!

you guys have been very quite in terms of what's to come I know you must be busy and I know there is just somethings that are not confirmed yet on paper, which cannot be answered but! What can you tell us that's new to come?

will our home square have any drastic changes in the next 2 or 3 months or earlier to make it bigger like the US and Japanese HOMES are?  

it would be nice if you could take the time just to maybe give us some hope and something to look forward to.

+1 guyvernoid22 though for some strange reason SCEE do not feel that they have to update their customers like SCEA do. Strange but true.

well like i said in the post above i know there are things that are not confirmed on paper, but surely there must be something they can tell us or even hint at!

[artur1982]

Well even i can do that.
So don't ask me when because I can't tell you. But this is gonna be great year for HOME. without further ado here's some stuff for you to look forward to:

- more game spaces
- a lot more content in store
- EA space
- events and competitions
- more houses
- more furniture for your house or clubhouse
- more games supporting game launching

How's that? makes you happy now?

You can write as much as you like but they want Ted to reply and no disrespect not some community member. tThey wont be happy until they are continually moaning.  Its no use trying to tell them whats coming onboard. yes perhaps a word from SCEE would be nice but at the end of the day I expect SCEE are a tad busy they will have to make do with your little list.  As a matter of fact I wouldnt be surpised that if they did release a message they cut and paste what you tpyed in it.

thanks for the sarcasm newbie, but you have only confirmed what SCEA has announced, if IM correct we live in the EU! So no is the answer to your question, we don't know what we are getting Ted already confirmed that we will have some different spaces from what SCEJ has IM just curious is there to be some big changing to the layout of home and home square.

like I said before we know what SCEA Home is getting, but! We don't know what SCEE Home is getting hence we got the psp3000 event space but no one else did, only SCEE can answer our questions this is why I ask.

Calm please, calm. Man you guys get angry quickly.

Yes, I'm working on getting approvals to mention all the new things coming and planned, or as many of them as I can. Theres an awful lot of it and I cant just assume the teams and businesses involved are happy for me to "out them" yet.

For example, theres quite a few games on the game launching list but that involves, in some cases, patches to their games, and that sort of thing I need confirmation on before, in effect, I announce a patch to their game.

Its the same with many of the spaces and other content coming. Theres multiple game teams and companies working on these and some will want to manage the information release at more appropriate times.

And then of course theres the stuff we dont want to tell you about, we want to surprise you.

I appreciate the crux of the matter is you're seeing new content in the other regions and automatically assuming our silence means you're not getting new stuff here. Thats not the case. Timings will differ and you'll get new stuff when they dont sometimes and vice versa. The recent PSP3000 Treasure Hunt is a good example, there was a similar reaction elsewhere to that as there was to your reaction to the ninja costume in America.

Please dont read into that we're happy where we are either. We also want more, we want better and we want more frequent too.

We learnt quite a bit from the PSP3000 Treasure Hunt. Things like Terms & Conditions and how we present them in Home (and the legal issues too), competition interfaces like the Touch Pad (we know it wasnt perfect but the idea was proven to be sound) and then the type of entertainment it provided against the other types of Space we've done before. And, of course, railings = madness with you guys around.

I know this next bit is the hardest to accept, but Home is a long term project (and the "beta" bit shouldnt be under estimated either). Whilst we want for you to have something to do in Home every day, be it the same thing you did yesterday and the day before but its fun enough to continue,  the immediacy some of you expect right now is unrealistic.

Creating Home and the content within it takes longer than you'd think.

I saw a post today where someone speculated that making a virtual T-Shirt takes 20 minutes. It doesnt. It takes hours to make the item if its simple but then it has to be tested with all avatar sizes and other clothing in in the existing spaces. Then it has to be localised (translate all the accompanying text) and then entered into the store system (theres 5 of them, the 5 languages Home supports.) Then, finally, published into the live Home environment. Bearing in mind the Home teams dont stop and do one thing at a time and there is, in fact, hundreds of items being developed, this process can take a couple of months all told, from design to someone wearing it in Home.

We're going to bring you a lot more spaces in the coming months, new apartments, a lot more Game Launching support, far more clothing, more games, more furntiure, more tools & features for clubs and more tools and features for the general client. We're also looking at various ways of providing ways for language groups to get together without segregating the EU community. Oh, and we've got an update to Home Square coming as well.

Theres a lot on the way and I'll try and get a more specific list together for you. We do know some of you want everything now, its not going to happen, but over time you'll find Home to be more than you thought it could be.
