The girl faces are ugly. The guys are cavemen. Someone tell me why Europe does - consistantly - either super shitty (Fable, Home, Witcher, etc) faces and such or super awesome ones (Heavenly Sword, the only example I can think of >_<).
It seems interesting. Particularly the tie-in to unlockables (I got into the Namco Home Arcade beta also).

It's not just Europe. You may as well ask why Bethesda can't make a model that doesn't look like a fucking burn victim. |

I got in about two weeks ago. I don't see the point of Home. Can someone explain what I'm missing?

I don't seem to have given my email address to the right person. What are the chances I can get in if I make that JP account I have been putting off?

Why am I homeless? Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

Have you played Fallout 3? They finally fixed the Downe's Syndrome character model problem. |

The women are almost passable but it's still a mess. They have the money to hire artists that could create stuff as good as Valve does, there's really no excuse. Maybe it's a byproduct of their engines being total shit, who knows. BETHESDA KNOWS. And maybe the phantom. |

Hook Happy_Hedonist up with an invite Schild. I haven't used my PS3 in a bit, did you get an e-mail notification? I did sign up for it with the whole Theme thing.
Yea, invites went out a couple days ago. If you didn't get in you're not missing much at the moment. |

That euro beta, if signed up on a euro account - but not launched - on a US PS3, can then switch over to your US account after downloading the beta and play on US servers. Just saying.

Actually, I found an invite in my spam folder while looking for something else.
Right now it appears to be pretty walled off to the Square Home. Seeing that there's a closed off area with escalators, there might be more. Hopefully.
Also, this'll be completely based on microtransactions...

I'm guessing a lot of games are going to include exclusive shit you can use in Home.
As for bat country: I'm game. It's kind of a bummer how limited the clothing stuff is right now, though. I want a monocle so much.

Most likely just the Sony developed/published games. |

Most likely just the Sony developed/published games. Why would this be? Most developers won't add extra stuff in unless forced. You can already see this in the lack of games that support trophies (until next year when they become mandatory). Also, MS seems to persue extra content for multiplatform games a lot more aggressively than Sony does. |

But I like it, as I like not stumbling when I walk or not running out of toilet paper when I need it. It's ok. Let's see what they can do with it. |

I agree completely, and I suppose I meant to ask why would Sony not mandate Home... uh, trophies? MS mandated Achievements from the get-go, and I consider Sony not having Trophies ready at launch to be a big fail. Patching sucks. Not mandating these things except perhaps in Sony games would be dumb. |

Not mandating these things except perhaps in Sony games would be dumb. Trophies will be mandatory next year, but I haven't heard any word on whether or not this will include mandated support for them in Home. I'm guessing probably not, mostly because Sony still seems unsure of when they're actually going to launch Home. Well, that and the fact that they seem reluctant to make anything mandatory for developers (unlike MS, they don't require voice chat support for online games, even in their first party titles). I'm sure Home trophies will be a requirement at some point, but I'd guess it won't be until some time after Home launches. Trophies aside, pretty much all of the Home content they've shown off for games right now is for Sony exclusives (the Uncharted bar, the Warhawk war room, etc...). |
