Comments on: Why Home Will Be With Us For A Long Time http://www.hsmagazine.net/2012/07/why-home-will-be-with-us-for-a-long-time/ The PlayStation Home Magazine Fri, 13 Feb 2015 21:20:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.1.2 By: riffraffse7en http://www.hsmagazine.net/2012/07/why-home-will-be-with-us-for-a-long-time/#comment-184034 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 04:22:55 +0000 http://www.hsmagazine.net/?p=33169#comment-184034 Wonderful article O wise Bodhisattva. I have said before that I do not attach myself to either the place or the purchases… the important thing to me is the other souls that I encounter. Anyway -- according to Siddhartha’s Vision attachments are not the path to enlightenment. Certainly fear and frenzy do very little to help any cause. I am certain that the friends I have met in this space will continue on with some other means of communication long after this system is archaic.

In the meantime there are always HOME’s Epicurean delights.
:)
Namaste

I loved the way they put together their furniture content… I think that the timing of the release did not help them. If they had released their package earlier in the summer when nothing else was going on it would have garnered a lot more notice. I really enjoyed the marketing article you wrote on that very subject. It is sad, but I company must go where it sees an opportunity to survive. I personally hope that they are successful with Vita and find their way back into the Home market eventually.

I have met some awesome people here. I’ve been able to stretch my creative self decorating spaces and my avatar. Best of all, Home has allowed me to discover my inner writer, so I certainly hope Sony has no plans to delete my muse anytime soon.

I think they’ll keep its engine pretty much as is since (really) its graphics are fine. I doubt they’ll pull it completely just because the PS4 can give avatars even more individual strands of hair. No, instead I see a portable Home on the Vita, a place we can chat, shop and jump into mini-games while on the move; but more importiantly cross over from one machine to the next. Carrying on your Home session via the Vita on the train to work, or just to do a bit of virtual shopping for your avatar in your lunch break, etc.

They’re STILL selling PS2s. They haven’t stopped because the PS3 was “better”, they know there are those who can’t afford a PS3, or even, that there are still people out there with a massive PS2 game collection that refuse to buy AGAIN in a digital format, the chooses are there and either way, Sony’s pockets smile about it. Same will happen with Home, that way Sony can reach anyone with a PS3, 4 or Vita and ALL will be transferable, or should I say accessible, from any of these machines.

You went a little deep there too Ted, what with the whimsical reflections of living for the time we have in the here and now, which speaks to me right now. And you’re right, we look too far into the future too often, then try to dissect and predict it far too often (see statements above). So let’s just sit down for a bit, and smell the virtual roses.

I’ve never thought Home was a one console deal… but I DO wonder if it will be the same Home we have now or if it will be a new Home. The safe bet is that Home will just continue and grow onto the next generation of PlayStation hardware.

Too bad, was really looking forward to their Home endevors. But better now than after bringing a space and letting it fall apart like conspiracy! 8/ Thanks much for he info! and a very nice article Ted! I hope to be grandpa in my rocker getting Home goodies! XD

I will admit I have been nervous about Home only being available on the PS4 once it comes out. I guess because it is an unknown at this time, I worry but because you say its on a server, I hope I worry for nothing. Its apparent you have thought all this out and after reading all this, I feel Home will be around for a long time. I am sure if Sony decided to end it, there would be very angry people to deal with especially since a lot of Home users have invested a lot of time and money in the game.

There is another factor that feeds into this as well, promoting customer satisfaction and loyalty. If Sony pulled the plug on Home there would be a lot of angry ex-customers who have spent a great deal of time, money and effort in this environment. Just like they realized that pulling the plug on Dragons Green would cost them as it had a life time buy in, they know what side of the bread their butter is on. Good read!

Bigyama recently announced that they will be shifting some of their development resources to the Vita, at the expense of their Home endeavors. You can find the announcement here: http://bigyama.net/blog/new-project-update/

To me, this is a logical move. Bigyama’s a brand-new developer, and it’s very challenging to crack into a market as established as Home now is. Conversely, the Vita is a brand-new platform that’s desperate for content, which means it’s a golden opportunity for a developer who can build games for it and get in early.

While I personally like Bigyama content — they had something really interesting with the Forthstar concept, and their furniture bundle was quite lovely — from a business standpoint, this was the right move for them. I do certainly hope they choose to revisit Home down the road, as they indicated they would, after they’ve built up greater resources from their Vita endeavors.

Well thought out and clear. I appreciate the way you laid things out. I agree. I don’t think that Home is going anywhere soon, or later, too much interest. I would write more,but you said it all. FEMA will be quiet now…LOL
