Starship Enterprise space?

A possible example will be the IREM’s R-Type battleship lounge.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned this but I think a Fashion Runway public space would go over well. People are probably going to laugh at me for saying this but Webkinz has one and it works well. A fashion show could be run every 30 minutes, people wanting to walk the runway would sign up at a table, and people watching the show could sign into devices around the runway. When its time each model would have a chance to walk the runway and pose as they want within a certain time. After all the models are finished the spectators could vote for their favorite and the winner could win points that they can trade for prizes. Showing off their fashion sense is something a lot of people seem to enjoy at home anyway so why not win prizes for it? Especially since people have spent real money on a lot of their clothes.

Baron-Hellmuttt had the idea, I just resurrected it on the forums.

That is a fantastic idea, stevev! I love the idea of game trials and being able to watch episodes in there.

you know there was a cool idea on the forums for a space based on “the tester” apartment. I think that would be a cool space to have as it would have built in furniture and an EOD. My 2 cent’s was that it should have game cabinets and maybe game trials of new and upcoming titles, and it should be free for watching all the episodes!

Ok…count me in! So…who here knows how to program in the dev kit? Anyone? Anyone? Bueler?

why not all three? a wild west farm/ranch (like RDR) and we should do it if they won’t

Which idea, Keara? The wild west one, the farm one, or that we should chip in for a dev kit?

Perhaps this bunch of us should bring this up as a suggestion when we meet with John on Sunday. After all, he was the one who created the Mansion and a whole bunch of other personal spaces in Home. Ask for a show of hands -- “How many people here really LOVE this idea?”

Indeed, and RDR space would be sweet. Hands down, it’s my favorite game for the PS3; I probably spent more time just riding around the world than I did actually pursuing missions. Unfortunately, I doubt we’ll see that kind of support as the game is already ‘old news’.

But, that doesn’t mean that and old west or farm style space could not be made by a third party dev house. I really like what n’Dreams did with Aurora – having a personal space which tied into their public space, even to the point of allowing you to earn exp in the public or private spaces for the game. That idea would lend itself well to a Wild West theme (the public space being a small frontier town set-up with the personal space being a ranch) or even a farming theme (a botanical garden, perhaps, with a tie in to a farming space).

And, with the potential for a huge amount of items up for grabs in micro-transactions (everything from period clothes and animated steers for the western space, and gardening clothes and Farmville type upgrades for the farming space) the spaces could make a profit which might lead to upgrades as time went on (something which is sorely needed outside of Sodium and the promises of n’Dreams).

Perhaps a bunch of us should chip in for a dev kit and show ‘em how its done :>

Well I am thinking that Sony must already have some sort of relationship with Rockstar games because they had that contest that was between the PS3 and the Xbox awhile back to win outfits for your avatars in Home, which we won of course. So we already have some period piece outfits based on RDR they just need to take the relationship to the next level and anything is possible. I think the McFarlane’s Ranch would also be an excellent choice for a personal space as you would have the farming element that many want as well.

I’m with Burbie, why not a place designed around the Game of the year. Armadillo would be awesome.
Let’s have poker, liars dice and a saloon. Wouldn’t it be cool to even have the general store to go shopping at? John Marston’s house would be the perfect personal space. I would have paid twice the amount for a Marston house than what we received from the mansion. Just think to have a stall with horses. Wonder if we cared for the horses enough we could even race them like we do the dolphins. Rewards of racing could be different colors of horses until we worked up to the unicorn blowing stars out its butt. LOL
I can see RDR personal spaces would be endless, generating PSH revenue to no bounds RDR soundtrack available in the personal spaces as well as in the saloon would be awesome. RDR is one game that is going to be around for a very long time. The only time I leave RDR is to come to home and take a bath and get all the grim and dirt off of me after riding all day. Why not get with Rockstar and after a long day riding with the posses come in clean up and play some poker have a drink and tend to the horse.
I would even enjoy just sitting out on my porch and watching all the wild animals. Especially watching my horse that I am trying to condition for an upcoming race. I would love to put on my fancy swag and take to town and kick some butt with some poker have a drink and dance with a couple of real dudes.
If a gun fight broke out …………..well that’s a whole other story.

That’s got my vote, itchy!

Then we can start jury pools in Home, and have mini games to get out of jury duty :>

Here’s a space idea I’d like to see:

An apartment with 1930’s & 40’s style flair. A city dwelling with a view of the street (with correct era cars when one look down at the street) and the sky (with the appropriate planes or zeppelins flying by every now and again). A ton of items can be created for such a place including: a line of kitchen appliances, furniture, an active item radio which plays old radio shows and period music, and clothing.

But…and here’s the kicker…the owner of the space has the option to switch the view (much like Ameratsu, or however you spell it)between color, black and white, and movie grain black and white (with all the little squiggles and pocks one would see in an old film.

THAT would quickly become my favorite space.

A baseball field?

If they build it, we will come.

Which reminds me: Sony stands to make a lot of money selling those 3D glasses for $69.99 and the Move controller (I forget how much that is). So, I think our best best for suggesting new spaces to Sony is to incorporate those two features into them.

We should also be pushing to get Home access into the new PS Vita. That thing is going to sell like crazy.

Kid Fleetfoot! At the E3 presentation, all Tretton would talk about was the Move controller and 3D. That’s what Sony is pushing like crazy. So: how about a baseball space you play with your Move controller -- maybe a batting cage? And do it in 3D -- imagine those pitches coming at you in 3D (wow!). I think an interactive space like that -- either as a new game space or on a smaller scale as a personal space would be a winner. (plus hot dogs and cold beer, of course).

Novus Prime made us float weightlessly. Similar programming could be used for swimming.

That is a brilliant idea Terra, they could do it very much on the Feva concept (they might even be able to use the old stadium) with the actual games showing on the screen above or some of the scores of the various countries involved. There could be many associated minigames too. How about simple ones like shot-put or javelin throw, these would be easier to work than running or swimming I think, pole vaulting, any of those types of games would probably work. I hope someone is reading this who thinks about this one for sure.
