Sony’s “Playstation Home”: Charming, Desperate and Futile

Technology News | Reuters.com: "I don’t usually blog about Sony, the Playstation, or really even about the Xbox — but I can’t resist laying a post down on this latest development from Sony. As you are all probably aware, the Playstation 3 was released to a lot of disappointment last Christmas, and has been projected to trail behind the Xbox360 and Wii in sales this year.

So, its no surprise to hear that the great minds behind the over-priced and under-gamed black behemoth at Sony came up with something new and drastic: an online community a la Second Life, called “Playstation Home”.

GDC07: We Saw The Real Killzone Last Night, So how did it look?

Kotaku: "So how did it look? I tried hard to heed Harrison's warning about the clip, but I couldn't help but focus on the game itself.

Visually it was certainly less impressive than the infamous E3 2005 pre-rendered target trailer, that's for sure. Animation quality varied, looking awkward at times. Moments smacked uncomfortably of Vivendi's F.E.A.R. and will probably cause a bit of fanboy ruckus when it's finally shown to the public this July at E3. There's obviously a long way to go, but, in my opinion, Sony was very wise to have kept the game under wraps and not tarnish today's Home and LittleBigPlanet announcements."
