Phil Harrison, Sony exec - Image 1Phil Harrison keynoted the Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2007 and sat down to a 10-minute one on one with Kotaku. He also talked to 1UP about Home, rumble, Little Big Planet and other stuff.


Phil said that having worked on Home for quite some time now, they have wanted to demonstrate it at the right time and the right audience. The GDC demo of Playstation Home, he said, was of perfect timing, and they were pleased with the reactions they got. Asked about his reaction to people claiming that Home was just a reaction to Nintendo's Miis and Xbox Live, Phil had none saying that while Nintendo does some cool stuff, Sony is taking a much different approach

According to him, developers don't have to worry about how to integrate Home into their games. They're also discussing about taking your Home-created avatar and actually moving that into games so that you can play with that character. Having more game characters in the lobby is also something that they want to do.

Phil was also pleased with reaction gained for the LittleBigPlanet. This game allows characters to develop their own gameworld, customize the objects in it, and then have other players play and rate the games made.

Phil Harrison also said that after the Immersion/Sony case was settled, he has nothing more to say to Playstation gamers, with Sony having genuinely kissed and made up with the other company.

Looks to me like its going to make you pay fees for online, if this happens then 360 looks the better options.

anything in the article that says you have to pay. Even if you do it is just another option. Already the Playstation Store is free to a certain extent and so is web browsing. I don't think I would want to pay for a fake character anyhow unless I can meet hot chicks online and maybe hookup... thats about all.

That qwe person has been saying that crap on every single post about anything that has to do with Home. Your right, they said so many times in the video that almost everything is free, like each persons apartment and all the online services like matchmaking and voice chat ect. If you really wanted to you can purchase upgrades like a better, bigger apartment, more furniture and clothing, but you don't have to if you dont want to . Home looks so awesome, its funny that 360 fanboys have nothing better to do than post idiotic comments in every single article for Home and that deep down you know they're so jealous thats all they can do.

They probably are hoping that people will have to pay for this. This way they will hear that Home sucks and they can finally celebrate because apparently another failed Sony project would be this phenomenal occasion in their lives. Well, I guess some people are different. I care about earning money, having fun, my family, etc. while some people care about how well an electronics company is doing. We live in a strange place.
