ps3.home improvements

New games, including chess has been added to the virtual and good looking world of home(which for everyone living under a rock, will be free of charge for anyone owning a ps3).

here´s a new video and a few screenshots of the closed beta(which will go open this month, unless delayed of course, and if open means global or north america is another topic entirely).



edit: have to say after watching this video, damn this is one good and impressive looking product and especialy for a free one.

edit2: haha, another reason im impressed is that a few years ago i was part of a similar project on the pc, same kind of online world with streaming images on movies on in game tv´s and such, integration to email and msn and so forth all inside a quake like online world where people could both play chess and actually shoot each other and so on, besides chatting of course, we even had file sharing lol..

Anyway, home looks of course so much better and has alot more resources, but it was a working project but in the end i cancelled it myself, it took up way to much resources and time to develop, guess we were alittle ahead of our time, but now seeing home it´s a fun memory.
