AWOMO will make PS3 home prehistoric, says Virgin Games boss |
Ó
In case you haven't heard, Virgin Games is currently developing a 3D virtual world platform known as AWOMO (A World of My Own). Basically, this allows players from all over the world to download and play games direct to their own PC units at once without actually walking up to a retail store and buy a copy.
Walkden shared that for AWOMO's beta testing, Virgin Games is planning to have 30,000 subscribers at the minimum and that they are currently well on track. The official added that what they really have in mind is to have a subscriber base of around half a million by the end of 2007.
If you've missed our previous reports regarding AWOMO, don't worry because Virgin Games promised to launch four to five massive PR and marketing promotions in the next few weeks. But in the meanwhile, Walkden is very much happy with the feedback they've been getting from the community,
We have had a few emails from people who have already registered and are impressed that we seem to have pulled off a "me too" model of PS3 Home for PC. But they will have to wait and see how good this will get. In terms of download speed, Home is very much what we have got used to in the 21st Century. AWOMO will make that look prehistoric.

screw aw-homo it wont compete since it ain't console base where all the kewl games are coming.
Ok so a place which allows you to download games on a PC is going to compete with the virtual world of PS Home on the PS3?? Anyone else see something funny with that picture? lol....
Ha, i dont think so!
they compete against other PC games not next gen console system. they say that you have to subscribe, then it means you have to take out some money out of your pocket to avail for this program. how about upgrading your PC, so thats another $$$ from you.
There’re so many stup+d PS3 fanboys right now who bark that PS3 is superior to X360 console; that’s the reason why I wrote this informal essay. Let’s compare the most sold X360 game and the most sold PS3 game (HEAD TO HEAD DEATHMATCH); then talk about which console is superior to another at the end. Each category is worth 100 points unless mentioned. If it’s drawn, both get half points. I spent much time to read about 10 different reviews on both games. Most sentences below are NOT my opinions (remember this). Most sentences below are from the reviews I read online. [Epic’s Gears of War Vs. Insomniac’s Resistance: Fall of Man] - Gameplay (300 pts): Resistance is a generic and mindless run & gunner. Epic adopted and improved Resident Evil 4’s point of view; then GoW’s over-the-shoulder revolutionized the gaming industry. Now, Sony’s best future games Uncharted Drake’s Fortune and Ratchet and Clank Future (when using weapons) both totally copied GoW’s point of view. Winner: GoW - Graphics (300): GoW wins by a land-slide. No need to discuss more. Winner: GoW - Awards: Many gamers bought GoW because it won so many awards. Winner: GoW - Main character (200): Epic did a very good job on this. Marcus Fenix is as memorable as Halo’s Master Chief. Resistance’s Nathan is simply too boring to control. Winner: GoW - Average review score: GoW got 94 from 172 different game related publications; Resistance got 89 from 164 publications; many gamers bought GoW because it got extremely high review scores. Winner: GoW - Level of Appealing (Fun Factor) (200): Resistance is all about run and gun like Halo 3 or Unreal Tournament 3. GoW has deep tactical play. Winner: GoW - Online Modes (Multiplayer) (300): Resistance offers much more game types, but all of them are mindless run and gunner. GoW should have supported at least 8 versus 8 multiplay (4 Vs. 4 is just sub-standard). Winner: Drawn - Single-player (SP): Resistance’s developers spent so much time, budget, and effort on this (Resistance’s SP is much longer); the thing is that Resistance’s SP is plainly boring and not even fun. Winner: GoW - Weapons (200): Resistance has technically extremely advanced weapons, but these weapons are not balanced for multiplay. GoW has much less number of weapons; the thing is that lancer (the gun with chainsaw) alone is better (the powerful feeling; sound, lighting, and decal effects) than all weapons in Resistance combined. Torque bow and boomshot are extremely well made, too. Winner: GoW - Music & Sound Effects (300): Resistance’s sound is on average; GoW’s sound is superb (especially guns and explosion sounds are mind-blowing). Winner: GoW - Longevity (Replay Value) (300): Resistance’s run and gun gets old extremely quickly. Winner: GoW - Technical Advancement (200): Resistance’s extremely huge maps + 42-player online + Resistance’s bull’s eye and sapper guns. Winner: Resistance - General Concept & Originality: Resistance is a copycat of Half Life, Call of Duty, and Unreal Tourney. Winner: GoW - Character Animation: Both games offer silky smooth movement of units. Winner: Drawn - (NPC’s) A.I.: GoW’s AI is better made. Epic did a very good job here. If you kill one enemy in GoW, you feel satisfied and rewarded; if you kill one (or ten) enemy in Resistance, you feel bored and lame (LOL). Winner: GoW - Atmosphere (Presentation) (200): GoW’s sci-fi movie like mood is all over the places. Winner: GoW - Interface (attention to detail, how polished is the final game?): Winner: Drawn - Overall Impressiveness (300): In general, GoW even deeply impresses diehard Sony fanboys. Winner: GoW Finally, GoW won by f+cking huge margin. - Resistance’s total score: 450 points - GoW’s total score: 3,050 points I said at the start that we need to talk about which console is superior to another at the end. Now, let’s talk about that. Which console is superior? If you’re still trying to defend your pathetic PS3 console then you must be illiterate and blind, period.
really tho. Home is really going to give something really kewl to PS3 users, something to bring everything playstation together in one very attractive package, which just turns out to be fun in itself. Software like this has been around for a while on the PC and... ppl just dun give a flying f_ck about it's uselessness.
i have a better idea AoxomomoxoA, how about you go get a life? because we are getting tired of this discussions. we dont care which 1 is better, every1 has his own taste. so please check ebay for a life.
talk about being a "stupid fanboy" geez. Get a friggn life you pathetic excuse for a human being. Who the hell cares if a console beats another? stop licking 360's ass, it won't do you any good dammit. I actually im so stunned right now I don't even know what to call ya. Are you some reject? heres a piece of advice for you mkay buddy? Get a life, get a girlfriend, go out and see the sun, then come back here and read your comment, I think you'll see things in a new light.
interesting...you'll be reminded of your own comment "Resistance is all about run and gun like Halo 3" when Halo 3 hits the shelves and you're on here telling people why it's so much better than everything else. Xbit*ches are hilarious at times
LMAO! Did he just say longevity and GoW in the same sentence?
Lol I bet this guy never goes outside. Does Microsoft pay you to do this? BTW how many times did you send your xbox back to microsoft.?
Sure, it could compete to do the same thing home is doing but I seriously doubt it will ever looks as good as home does (graphically) Overall, I think this AWOMO will be overshadowed by home in many aspects
Hey AoxomomoxoA you and the impostor can both go to hell right now. If you don't like the PS3 then stay the ***** out of the PS3 section.
Well AWOMO has does half decent, at best, with this little publicity outcry. Most people can easily figure out why AWOMO is a piss poor idea. They just made a statement putting down Home largely because it would make it to news sites like these. People would at least then take a glance at their product and then 2% of those people possibly consider getting it. Best to jot down AWOMOs e-mails so when they shut their servers down in a year you can remind them of how Home is still going with its prehistoric ways. Also can QJ mod these comments to stop d-bags like captain retard above... or at least IP ban them.
You are all total and complete morons. Thanks for the laugh fellas, I've had enough.
Wasting my time scrolling through that.
The one where you said PS3 and 360 were both great consoles...but I guess you can't blame a troll for nonsensical ramblings, can you?
sony bmg has been kicking virgins ass for like 10 years straight. and we all can see what sonys game division has been doing to virgin games? what the hell is virgin games? this is bull, ps3 home will have tens of millions of users....with psp compatibility ....
Sounds like Steam to me. Besides, why would I want to let 3D loading times hinder me in the process of obtaining a game?
Im sorry but.. the XB360 is longer available as the PS3, so dont whine please.. :D
did anyone catch that last part.. they just talked about creating their own version of the internet.. have fun with that! "In terms of download speed, Home is very much what we have got used to in the 21st Century. AWOMO will make that look prehistoric." seriously... WTF ARE THEY SMOKING! unless you completely revamp the internet that is NOT going to happen. Again I say have fun when you run out of money after attaining the permit just to build an international loop of high bandwith cables to support your dream internet. Its not Sony holding the speeds back its THE INTERNET!
