2. Home and Sony

Sony's virtual abode, the PlayStation Home, will getting a much needed face lift this Spring, bringing a slew of new features and improvements, that promises to improve the overall experience of the community.

Revealed earlier today at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, PlayStation Home version 1.5 is set to introduce "a suite of new technology with tools that will enhance your experience with real-time multiplayer, improved physics, as well as more realistic graphics and animations."

According to PlayStation Home Community Manager Locust_Star, the upcoming update was developed with one singular goal in mind, to deliver "high-quality games" within the virtual world. With the new suite of tools, developers are expected to utilize and improve the network mechanics of Home to "bolster the multiplayer experience with the fastest action available." The update also revamps the physics engine, "developers will carry more control over physics elements, graphics, rendering and animations, which will translate to more realistic and more intricate game experiences."

Locust_Star also said that "this update is significantly different from what you, the PlayStation Home community, have come to expect from past core client updates." He notes that while versions 1.3 and 1.4 brought user-facing features like Voice Chat, Cross Game Invites, Navigation Improvements, In-Store Previews, New Item Types (such as Active Items and Companions), Optimized Load Times and Universal Game Launching, the upcoming update will be "packed with tools and features that will enable developers to expand the types of games possible on the platform – from first-person shooters with real-time, peer-to-peer multiplayer to kart racers and more. These new developer tools also allow for richer graphics and an overall improvement to frame-rate, which is something on top of everyone’s wish list."

Want a lil' sneak peek of the update? Well check out the trailer of the upcoming Sodium 2: Project Velocity, the follow up to Lockwood Publishing’s high octane tank combat title, Sodium One.


 

 

The game, scheduled to arrive the same day when the 1.5 update goes live, takes advantage of the new tools and features that will be included in the upcoming update.

yea ill have to check this out. i remember before home came out, it was getting super hyped up and i was pumped to try it. after i downloaded it, i thought it was ok, its just there wasnt enough to do on it. good thing at the time it seemed that it was a cool idea with a boat load of potential. hopefully this new update makes it look and feel like i have always though and hoped it should

Home is boring, theres absolutely nothing to do, and you have to que to play games. Funny how you don't have to que to buy stuff.

If Home updates the character design system and the textures used for the characters so you can actually make them look less retarded like, it might be worth going back and checking it out. I'd definantly hang around if they add Mass Effect stuff to it. Like the citadel, just a hangout spot with ME alien avatars and npcs. Infact, with the new system they'd probably be able to add a RPG element to the thing.

Also combat areas? yes please :)
