On Monday I went into Home, and to be honest, it was a bit crap. I promised myself that I wouldn’t return, but today I changed my mind again. On Thursday nDreams, the creators of Xi, possibly the best thing existing in Sony’s virtual kingdom, will be launching “Musicality”, something worth enduring Home’s loading for.

Musicality is a Home space which allows up to four players the ability to ‘jam’ cooperatively, or competitively in a Guitar Hero/Rock Band style by hitting buttons on your dualshock in time to music on guitars, keyboards, drums and decks. So basically it’s a poor man’s Rock Band? Well not really. It certainly looks fun, you can play to an audience of other Home dwellers and it’s free!

Best of all though, is a variety of dance loops which are included allowing you to mix your own songs to play with. Add to that the option to buy Rock and R&B packs and I think that there’s a wonderfully robust space that should temp anyone to sit through Home’s painful updating process. But enough of me talking about it, you can see it yourself below.

  1. Wow first thing on Home that’s actually interested me.


    • Apart from Xi, I enjoyed that.


  2. Umm… Didn’t that Guitar Hero space do the same?

  3. wow. Think i can say the best space ever?!?


  4. That sounds pretty cool. I hope it works out to be as good as it has the potential to be.


  5. No hip-hop? I’m not saying I would go on Home even if it had some anyways though…


  6. I’ve given up on Home, I gave them all the chance in the world to deliver at least some of what was originally promised, but even I’ve lost interest now – when you see Uncharted 2 in it’s graphical glory with no loading screens and even watch how cute and colourful the creations are racing around the ModSpot in ModNation Racers, it just makes me think how stale and dull Home has become to me…

    For me Home is now nothing more than a Promotional Tool for events such as the current Heavy Rain 4 Days Experience, I’ll visit to take part in promotions but I don’t stay around for long and I no longer see any value in it as a community tool.

    It’s about time Sony just bit the bullet and relaunched Home 2.0 (or just Home non-beta) complete with radically redesigned interface and DRASTICALLY reduced load times… Home is supposed to be a gateway to the PSN, not a barrier!


    • Well said.

      Home is just a really big advertising oppurtinity for Sony. Offers very little style or substance, is awkward, takes too long to load and doesnt really fit in with the Playstation. I want a more interesting styled avatar, not the boring ones we have now, and I want it to be tied into my console and me. If thats means just having it as your picture, fine. But being able to use them more would be nice.

      So yeah, Home is fail for me, its not even good for socialising with friends cause it takes too long to load up..


    • The load times are so nail gnawingy s-l-o-w,i’ve given up too….just sort out a cloud type service of sorts, and i may go back, but as it stands (and moreover with my lack of patience0 i really cant be arsed.


  7. No Symphonic Power Metal?


  8. Thats looks brilliant, i can really see that taking off and its probably something i will boot up Home for to take a look. Last time i spent and age in the EA space waiting to play a crappy racing game only to be shouted and abused because i was stood in the wrong place… much like a trip to the shops really.


  9. just don’t get Home……scrap it and do something decent that doesn’t take an age to load/download every ten steps.


  10. If it’s free… I’ll give it a look.


  11. Ive been on Home once and never again i said to myself, maybe just maybe if im really bored i might go on


  12. Sickness. Defo gonna be hitting this.


  13. Nothing will beat XI, in my opinion, suprise me.


    • That’s true. Xi was truly a masterpiece.


  14. Wow! Looks like I’ll be returning to Home once more….


  15. Update to your article – this is a PERSONAL SPACE and not a Public Space, so it’s not going to be a big community event with you jamming with strangers, but one reserved only for you and your friends list. Further more, being a personal space, it’s highly unlikely that this space will be free… Going off previous Personal Spaces it could be as much as £3.99!


    • Oh dear, if that’s true I will be giving this one a miss, which is a shame as it had promise as a public space.
