Sony adding free multiplayer FPS to PS Home

bootleggers

 

Sony is giving PlayStation Home a makeover later this year which would turn it into more of a social gaming hub than before. One of the new additions being introduced is a game called Bootleggers, a free-to-play multiplayer first person shooter that will let players unload a full clip of bullets into other PS3 owners' Home avatars.

 

As first person shooters go, Bootleggers is very rudimentary especially when compared to Call of Duty or Killzone titles. What it does have over those game, however, is that it is free. That's not just in the common free-to-play context where premium content still has to be purchased. Jack Buser, the man Sony put in charge of Home, clarified to Shacknews that the game is completely free and "not freemium".

 

Bootleggers can be found in Home's new Action district which will go live as part of the upgrade later this year. To further increase Home's prospects of becoming a more engaging social space for PS3 owners, players won't have to wait in line in order to enter a Bootleggers match. No matter how many people are currently playing it, you'll be able to find a room and join in.

 

It still remains to be seen whether this new initiatie will entice more PS3 owners to actually give Home a chance, but with free, easily accessible games like Bootleggers the prospects are starting to look pretty good.

I don't understand why you're complaining. It's not like you have to spend money to buy it. Also they're not forcing you to play it.

Didn't you read the bottom? It's better than nothing, so I'm not fully complaining.

This is actually a neat idea, as long as they don't make whatever this game is too serious and just keep the humor up. Sorta like TF2.. The game is kinda simple, but the humor is there and so is the replayability

Great more shooters but this time on home. If there's no leveling up or getting any perks then it's not satisfying at all.

It's free so no one is twisting your arm in playing in.

^ You sir, are obviously too young to have experienced pure FPS at it's prime.

Back in the day of Doom or Quake, there wasn't levels or perks or killstreaks or anything; was purely about finding better guns and killing your friends over and over.

I'll be playing this one.. looks interesting.

Can't agree more with your statement. Also it does look like an interesting little reason to get back on PS Home, it's definitely been a while I swear I probably have a terabyte's worth of updates for it now!!!!

this is pretty much what I was expecting home to be when it was first announced. you wander around a hub(s) meeting new people/meeting up with friends and then you either jump into a game you all own or you jump into a game provided by sony in home (that wasn't horse or bowling but an actual, fleshed out game). Keep going in this direction and Home could really turn into something.
