PSP may get PS Home eventually: What do you want on it? |
Ó
That's the question being asked by folks at IGN, and it's the same one we're definitely interested in asking you guys. According to a technical FAQ on Sony's upcoming Home service, Sony's thinking about taking some aspects of Home outside of the PS3, perhaps with some of it hitting PSPs as well. Here's the question asked in the technical FAQ:
Q: Is Home a PS3 specific service? Will users be able to access Home through other devices?
Initially Home will only be accessible via that PlayStation 3, although over time our intention is to enable users to interface certain Home features and services via other networked devices such as PlayStation Portable (PSP) and mobile phones.
Here's our question to you. How much of Home interests you? What functions do you want to be made accessible through your PSP? What Home related functions would you see yourself accessing in the future through the PSP. Let us know.

but it would be very exciting!
I Posted First so go to Hell:D:D:D ...Juss Kiddin' juss Go to toilet:D:)) iF U want to discuss the matter why I have posted first, Make Yourself Comfortable:D
too much for the psp to handle? I mean i know it wouldn't be the whole service being ported over to psp, but the amazing thing about "Home" is that is such a huuuuuge virtual space. Imo that wouldn't work in any way if they somehow stripped it down for mobiles & psp.
I guess they could let you edit your avatar on the go? lol
No i dnt want it 2 be on the psp because the Home service is beyond psp handle so i guess it stays only 4 the Ps3 ^_^
that will be awasome, and maybe you will be able to create your own games in home ( homebrew for all psp ).
it needs a store icon and thats about it
i think home is the stupidest thing. its for every one who is too lazy or too fat to go out and actually talk to "real" friends. And as for starting multiplayer games- Its way too much work! i just want to see a text menu and get to the killin instead of messin around in a stupid virtual world full of 300 lbs child predators.
hey you probably use some kind of IM (like MSN, AIM etc.) sot... consider home as a fancy fancy IM... and a place where you can easily show of your gaming stuff (trophys, etc)
Well for the PSP it would be fun. A lobby, accesing your "home", maybe 2D trophies (so guys at sony or other corps don't have to rerender the 3D trophies for the PSP engine). That would be all.
If there will be a home for psp. It would be fun to have a custom plugin for it, to acces un-official home servers, where you can show of your homebrew trophys XD
i think home is great! second guy ^^^^ from me, you should just leave, everyone has friends, this is just a virtual world. if this were to come to psp tho, the app for connecting to it sounds like it would take too much flash tho. it would be amazing if they could bring it to the psp, and if they dont at least try, then screw them!!
You have no idea what you are talking about.
They arent forcing you to use Home, its optional, if you dont want to use it, you can pop in a game and play from the game interface or start games from Home.
If Home is a stupid idea, then that means Xbox Live, IMs, Videos, Mini games, Achievements, Chat rooms, etc, everything that Home combines into one service, is a stupid idea, correct?
HOME is an interesting experiment. But most useful if you have a lot of friends who also have PS3.
Would be cool if Sony also made a MMO(RPG). More like a game. I can't see how I would use more that a couple of hours one HOME! There is no REAL challenge in the game! I'll probably just spend all my time in the game-lobby, playing bowling.
I hope Sony would make it more "gamish" in the future, and come with a lot of exciting updates and patches.
"If Home is a stupid idea, then that means Xbox Live, IMs, Videos, Mini games, Achievements, Chat rooms, etc, everything that Home combines into one service, is a stupid idea, correct?"
No. Those are not stupid ideas. Just Home.
Home is an amazing idea for PSP, just do it, if people don't want to use it then they don't have to, I can garuntee that at least half of the people who own PSPs will use this.
Sony needs to get there head out of there ass and start making more games then entertainment.
PSHome for PSP would be one of the smartest movements for Sony. Certainly would boost PSP value. But Sony is Sony - they are not so smart all the time ...
like homebrew...
They theres a recall going on psps. they want to put a 8GB nandflash on our psps
n/t
"Home is for sissies who want to play with dollhouses"
So why do sony bashers say "PSN Sucks" then when Home is realeased ou say stuff like this... Backtracking on your words. If ou've played NBA 2K5, WWE Smackdoown, NBA07; you get where I'm going. Didn't they ALL have a CUSTOMIZABLE space for your crib. Now think about it, why trick out a house when no one else will really see it?
"i think home is the stupidest thing. its for every one who is too lazy or too fat to go out and actually talk to "real" friends"
You're a f'ing loser for that baised statement that people that like hom can't get "Real Friends". Now let me show you how dumb that sounds.
I'm on myspace (myspace.com/blazekingnj) and i live in Trenton, NJ. You do know where New Jersey is? I have "virtual" friends there who are mostly from Trenton because WE ARE ACTUAL FRIENDS DORK!!!! I see these people and contact friends who have moved away.
Baised statements like home is for people who have no social life are stupid. Talking about being on Home all day and not having a social life is kinda redundant because that sound like what a 360 fanboy would say. All consoles have a power button (and I love the PS3's) which turns the console off where you can walk out of the door nd go to work, school, chill with your "real friends" and beat their ass in hoops.
so please fanboy: stop trying to bash home sying we don't have lives as you don't KNOW ANY OF US PERSONALLY and you don't know how tall I am and how bad of a temper I have. You don't know who has what on here by just these words. Wait a minute, your posting comments on here so lets assume YOU have no social life. I could beat your ass in "real" life tho.
"i just want to see a text menu and get to the killin instead of messin around in a stupid virtual world full of 300 lbs child predators."
So you're trying to tell me Home only has this problem? hmmmm......wait. Aren't you on a computer???? The whole world of child predators travel where ever there's an internet connection. XBL isn't safe either that's why they sold mics that scrambled your voice.
Did I shoot this guy down enough?????
it's not so much as a recall but a hardware update.
the nandflash is made by samsung and there were talks of sony upping the memory. Why would they want to put 8GB nandflash in a PSP???? HOME would be pefect since it's already incorporated in there. Why not have it while your on lunch break at the job???
Am I the only one who has a job? I hope not....
If anybody disagrees with me, then don't use it. Its as simple as that. And for all the people who say that home is for nerds with no friends: What are you doing on a video game site arguing over a video console feature?
I think it would be awesome if it could work (this might be sony's idea to get rid of homebrew developers). I just hope we are able to do it considering psp's limitations.
Home is for our ever expanding multi-media lives..brilliant. That's why the PS3 itself is so expandable and flexible and was future-proofed while already another poor 360 imitation is on it's way in less than 2 years.
Absolutely brilliant.
Games have always been just a "part" of peoples multi-media experience and now they can be intertwined as well...brilliant.
Don't need to use it though you can just play games if that's what all you want..nothing taken away.
And it's FREE...DOM...INATION of the console world..
You can buy a 360 or Wii ..but why bother now.
What a knockout blow. All those developers stampeding to the opportunity and leaving the other consoles high and dry. Ouch and double ouch.
Look here -
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6429039.stm
A virtual message board which has a list of games you own. Selecting one will then tell you if it's multiplayer and if anyone is online. That would be sweet.
Also. if you can just teleport to where you want to go.
And lastly, a room for each game. Especially online games. To chat, ask for vs. and uuuhhh jump around and laugh?
USe these idea but send me an email for payday.
Silent_volume@h otmail.com thanks
I, myself, don't like the idea, but I can see why others would.
But honestly, I don't think Home will be what wins this console war, honestly.
But honestly, as long as this doesn't fail and because crap like other stuff I won't name (because let's face it,"internet is srs business" as they say).
We should start a petition for this,
Do you have any idea of how cool it would be to go to someone's "abode" and get videos, music or even homebrew! This kind of feature was one of the cooler things about phantasy star online, you could just kinda hang out in the lobby an talk with other fellas.
you got PWNT moron!
What the ***** is home?
I doubt PSP can handle a virtual world, so it would probably have to be standard text-based. Sony can still make it look great and very usable.
It should have your buddy list with options to add new friends, see who's online, doing what, etc. Another list showing games you own, with expandable option to display which friends are currently playing.
Different spaces are like chatrooms/lobbies, your homespace is private. You can go to the main lobby and talk openly or initiate private or 'group' chat.
Gamer information should be provided in a simple profile, which can be viewed by selecting any individual in the spaces.
The Hall of Fame should be simple, a side/vertical scrolling list of icons of all the games/trophies you've achieved. Clicking on it should display more details, and so on. You should be able to select anyone and view their Hall of Fame.
Other spaces, like gaming and home theatre will have to be more complicated but it can be done. PSP can handle streaming videos, playing sports, arcade, etc.
" I doubt PSP can handle a virtual world, so it would probably have to be standard text-based. Sony can still make it look great and very usable."
Uh it's a 3d world how many PSP games have a 3d world? plenty it's more than capable of 3d rendering. It would be dumbed down but still look pretty.
Anyway all you folk who say it's a dumb idea. No it isn't check out the amount of people who use myspace and second life, sony are hooking into quite a lucrative market.
But maybe the functions of Home that use the PSP inside home, could use your actual PSP via remote play. Think of it, you wouldn't even have to use the PSP inside home... just move furniture and the like with your PSP.
And I don't mean stream graphics, I just mean show the menu and the controls. If you went to place furniture, you'd still be looking at your TV screen. Just using the PSP to do it.
im guessing that they would make it possible to view chatrooms and new messages and stuff.
u guys are *****ing retarded, hmm, i wonder why do u think they are updating the san*****s for the psp. 8 gig, gee let me think maby to help run home, and for the people who think home is gay,that is ur opinon, u probly dont have enuff money to buy one, so instead u bought a xbox, i have nothing against the systems, and its stupid to compare the consles, i have ps2 and i love it, i have psp and i love it, and a ps3, all different graphics, i have a xbox 360, different graphics, over all its up to the person on what they want, do they want xbox games or ps3 games, xbox has great graphics, but would i pay 200 bucks for a used one at the pawn shop, maby for my kid nephue, its kiddy stuff, even if that, the odds of the xbox overheating and blowing up is kinda great. same with the ps3, but hell thats why u buy a freaking warrenty. so if ur jelouse of the ps3 then just save up and buy u one, the ps3 is well worth it, and simple to use, xbox on the other hand, when i first tryed it, we couldnt even get the damn game to come one becuase the interface is too damn mixed up with bull *****. u cant say that ps3 raps is the only one that raps ur for ur money, so does microsoft, when i first got the first xbox, it required me to by a remote adaptor to play dvd's on . thats a gip, and i will always hold them acountable for that. xbox may have fun games now, but wait untill gta is only avaluble on ps3, then what u gana do, the chances of it being on xbox might not be that good, or u guys may have more games with more graphics in it right now, but there is just so much a hd dvd can do. blue-ray can make it possible to have a whole world connected to gether, interacting with eachother, and robing the damn joints. we are talking alot of gigs on one disc, 25 gb on one, 50 gb on a dule. u do that in comparison with the old ps2 games or xbox, thats a big dfference, hd dvd does not have as much gb space for developers to add more features. ps3 will have the same amount of graphics with more featers in the game, xbox will be like that shenmue game that had killer graphics when it was released on dream cast, but very limited, u cant have great graphics and extra features if u do not have a lot of space, so my money is on ps3/blueray. just the fact that more is better. blue ray is ahead of its time probly buy a few decades, the more uncompressed and the more pixles and components of a great intertainment setup, hd-dvd, is going to be opsolete just becuase the fact blueray uses a blue laser that can right more data on to a single disc, hd-dvd is great but blueray will rise and have better uncompressed quality.
the whole point is better quality in video games, sony seems to be suporting that, so why dont u suport sony to bring more realistic games.
Sony is making it's handheld look bad by not releasing it on the PSP at the same time of PS3 Launch
dumb@$$
Man.. Can't you write? Your spelling is that of a three year-old.. Honestly it was a pain to read your text.
firstly STFU! your a tool, dont come on here being a prick... WWE Games are for sissies who grope other men... thats just gay.. dont go insulting people who are obese in america its a national epidemic and some people are insulted by that, and dont go flaming people online because in real life your some pipsqueak who gets hustled everyday... oh and XBL doesn't have "mic's that scramble your voice" voice masking is a service provided on most games "Halo 2. Lost Planet" etc etc...
"Baised statements like home is for people who have no social life are stupid" wtf? cant even spell and your flaming some people who like Home... your some dumb little prick who needs to get a life, oh and dont bother insulting me back because A - i dont care, B - will i even check? oh and C - im not registered you dont know me so what the hell are you gonna do about it pipsqueak, F.u.ck off and stop flaming people cause your a little fanboy wanker
Instead of this sony should be developing other things like an official gps for the psp or a psp keyboard those two things are going to make more people want to buy a psp then "PSP home service"
The reason they would probably be giving it bigger memory is most likely for firmware updates so sony can add more security patches and features
but where's microsoft's handheld??? closet thing is Zune (which SUUUUUCKKKKKS) (P.s. it's an iPod rip, design and all.)
r35 must be someone who's feelings I've hurt. I'm not a little prick either and I can spell. Next time you insult me use my rank:1SG. Halo 2 sux. And all you see in WWE is men groping each other??? What are you doing looking that hard in the first place?!?!
I would call YOU a queer to your face. But you wouldn't stand in front of me with your head up.
"dont go insulting people who are obese in america its a national epidemic and some people are insulted by that, and dont go flaming people online because in real life your some pipsqueak who gets hustled everyday"
First, who the hel insulted obese people in america??? That's nowhere in my post. Ended
Second, i don't flame for no reason. I Scorch MoFo's like you.
Third, www.myspace.com/blaekingnj
I'm not little, not a pipsqueak, and would hustle you if you walked the streets of Trenton.
another basher defeated.
And just to further shut him up: my gamertag is SydeTrak and PSN ID : Blazeking
I have both 360 and PS3 so how am I a fanboy? Douhe.
... then they should definetly do it. HOME looks really cool and it would be great to have on my PSP in some form.
Lets not make GENERALIZATIONS ,"stupidest thing"
"It's for everyone who is too lazy or too fat to go out and actually talk to 'real friends'"
Multi player games-> too much work? wtf... I don't understand, so you like to be unsocial while playing video games but you ... ok...
Clearly you don't realize Sony's full name is Sony Computer Entertainment Inc., not Sony Console Gaming Inc. The mission statement of the PS3 was to make an entertainment system that would be, literally, in the middle of their living room.
WHAT THE **** YOU THINK YOU DOING? Get Yo' @$$ off qj.net and get a brain f'er.
PS Home is entirely dependant on how many people use it. I believe it was brought up in IGN weekly.
For those who don't know Metcalfe's law states that value of a network is the square of the number of users.
If there is one user, the value is 1, if there are 10 users, the value is 100.
If PS Home tanks, there is no point in putting it on PSP.
However, since PS Home has the potential to be great. The things I'd like to see for PSP connectivity are...
-PSP on PS3, playing my PSP games on the TV. It's somewhat possible with some hardware modifications, but for the rest of us, I think if they could make it possible without all that work, that would be great.
-Setting up infrastructure PSP game seamlessly through PS Home.
-Obviously stream any content I have on my PSP to PS Home.
-Stream certain content from PS Home to PSP. Since with the PSP isn't capable of handling the actual Sim-like enviroment of PS Home, maybe PSP users can just get downloadable/streaming content through a PS Home menu in the PSP.
-Get special points or unlock certain things in PS Home by having PSP versions of games and certian achievements in PSP games.
-PSP specific trophies displayed in PS Home.
There's probably more, but I need to start working on a project.
I read about half way through your post and damn... wanted to claw my eyes out. I couldn't help but laugh when you said GTA is going to be exclusive to the PS3 because it has been confirmed to be on the 360. Ever since Sony's deal with Rockstar over GTA ended, it has been a multiplatform game.
Whats that last insult you just said? Douhe? WTF is that? Lolz you are a moron
Rendering 3D world and doing it over the internet in real-time isn't the same thing. I have "doubts" if PSP can handle that. I'd love to be proven wrong, because a virtual PSP community would own. Even pixelated avatars (see Habbo) would be awesome.
ooh im so sorry if i misspelled a couple of words, ur a *****ing retared dumb ass who thinks 360 is better then ps3. go get a real life, and maby even some *****es to *****, o wait i forgot, u got no job, and cant affored a ps3. u must be one of these little geeks that loves to dream about sucking bill gates hotdog.
Just wait when it comes out you'll be jealous. lol - hahahhahahahah
PS- hahahhahahahah
PS2- and I dont know if it actually will be that good.
They just need to ban gameshark thingys, for the trophy idea. Is there even a gameshark? whatever who cares.
Ok for all you noobified morons who don't know jack squat about running a company, making money, nonetheless you probably suck at gaming too. This is an Excellent move by sony. This is the "I punched you in your face ... what are you going to do about it." type of entertainment boost they needed. Home is a great idea. Not only for gamers but for chat lobby rats and Idle junkies. Also as well as handicapped people who love to game but cannot walk or go out and see the world. This is perfect. IMO all they are missing is sexual intercourse lol ... No just kidding but this would be perfect for PSP and a port will look just like the original. It's not a hard entertainment idea to replicate for the PSP. GTA is much more advanced and it runs fine on the PSP.

I am really interested in the PS3 Home and I would love to see to see the same sort of thing and optimized for the PSP.
This is an amazing game and for anyone who says its not, go away then! This is the only thing making me want to buy a PS3 and for PSP it would be mint, they should probably delete maybe the custom game shirts etc. but Dont get rid of the core game - apartments, physics etc.
I want this game!!!!!!!!!
