Comments on: The End of PlayStation Home http://www.hsmagazine.net/2014/09/the-end-of-playstation-home/ The PlayStation Home Magazine Fri, 13 Feb 2015 21:20:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.1.2 By: Colin_Raleigh http://www.hsmagazine.net/2014/09/the-end-of-playstation-home/#comment-298446 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 07:00:04 +0000 http://www.hsmagazine.net/?p=63319#comment-298446 End of an era, a shame. Had the Home staff actually put forth some effort by doing things like fixing the ongoing chronic problems, punishing troublemakers, having real patrolling mods on there like back in ’09, done far better advertising along with video game tie-ins, and actually listening to its legions of users, we’d have had a PS4 port on the coming horizon by now. Home will forever be remembered as a product with great potential that regretfully it never lived up to. Since late ’08 when Open Beta debuted, I’ve been a regular on Home and made some really awesome online friends. But despite all of Home’s flaws and self-inflicted wounds, I will miss visiting this virtual world when it ends. We still have the good friends that we met on there, and in the end I think that’s what’s most important of all.

It’s through machinima that part of the core appeal of Home — living inside a video game world with a wide selection of settings, costumes, etc. — is most fully realized. And it’s probably the hardest aspect of Home to truly replicate.

There are options, though…with more coming.

…Maaaaybe.

Machinima-making in Home has become the passion in my life. Just reeling from the shock now. I will have to find a new site to use for avatar/actors, set locations, and items/props. Not to mention all the great LMOs. If you have something up your sleeve, Norse, for all us ‘crafty’ folks who have gotten into film making in Home, you need to tell us before we commit group hara-kiri.

One thing Home offered more than any other PS3 title was a venue for users’ creativity. I’ll miss that.

[crosses fingers] Does this by chance mean I’ll be able to download my personal spaces (80+ on one account; 30+ on a second)and avatars with wardrobes to my PS3s hard drives? Even if we must lose rewards and (I suppose, public spaces) this would be great! Otherwise, what good is stuff that will be gone almost as soon as it’s offered?

Because of coordination issues, I can’t play shooters, so games are of no use to me.

Anyway, thanks for Home!If nothing else, I’ll still have great memories!

To all the HSM team members past, present and beyond… Job well done!

I know a lot of people are devastated about Home and the Home groups on Facebook are full of emotional thoughts right now but everyone needs to keep their heads up high and just remember all of the great experiences we had.

Free Realms, which closed back on March 31st was also receiving emotional feedback but from mostly young teens and pre-teens and it was heartbreaking to see some of those babies’ reactions, but life is a big show and the show must go on.

We’re all so glad about what you yourself and Terra put together here at HSM and so glad to see the success you two are having Norse.

I personally would like to thank you guys for giving me the opportunity to write briefly for you guys and I’m happy to say that my few little articles made some kind of contribution to this great publication.

I left when school and my broadcasting career got in the way (Which I’m proud of, love my career) plus my own blog which I’m trying to grow but I’m so thankful that you guys welcomed me and other writers in so kindly and it really means a lot.

I can’t wait to see what you guys have planned for the future. I know Hellfire Games and Veemee are working on what look like Home style games which I’m very excited about and I think can make us breathe a little easier.

So I just wanted to say thanks a bunch for everything Norse and best of luck to you guys moving forward, I’ll be watching!

All the best,

Colin AKA cjmp
