Home is to get its first free to play FPS shooter in the shape of ‘Bootleggers’. PlayStation Home is normally a friendly place full of dancing bunny-girls but it will soon be getting a facelift and the new ‘Action’ hub will launch.
Described as a ‘dark and dirty place’, you will be able to jump straight in to a lobby and start pummelling those dancing bunny-girls full of lead.
Because Home has hundreds of costumes available this could be rather fabulous. Tron vs. Captain Jack Sparrow vs. Helghast vs. Nathan Drake? inFamous vs. Tekken vs. Warhawk vs. Homefront? The mind boggles.
The game is described as ‘simple’ but it is totally free, and who could resist watching Lara Croft take on The Watchmen?

Looks like it could be a lot of fun to me. I just wish I had brought my PS3 to uni =[ Although, thinking about it, I don’t think I can connect to the internet here anyway, so it doesn’t make a blind bit of difference to me.

Sounds interesting, now if only it could be played anywhere in Home – like Home square for instance :)

The Guardian would have a field day. “Gun rampage in public square, to blame for latest violence.”

thats great for home, I still can’t be bothered to log in though. Takes too long and I could be playing a proper game

That’s pretty much it for me. There really feels like zero incentive to visit Home. I wonder if Sony will ever work out how to claw-back the disenfranchised masses who saw the promise slip so briskly through Home’s digital fingers.

Sorry but I keep missing the point of why people think home should have some sort of incentive for them to come and use it.
it’s got it’s huge fan base, it’s making it’s money, people are enjoying it??
It’s kind of the arrogance that gets me.
“Yes Sony you need to make me want to use it, why aren’t you doing this, why should I go on hone”
Simples it’s not for you, move on.
i don’t like vidzone but don’t feel the need of repeating myself about why they should try and draw me into it

Slipping back to your old ways I see.

Far from it mate :p

Bilbo_bobbins

I’m looking forward to seeing this. Home needs more stuff like this!

I went into Home for 2 reason recently:
1. To complete the Dead Island mini-game to get a code for an in-game item. I have the code but it doesn’t work yet.
2. To play the new Resistance 3 mini-game. And it doesn’t work. Tried on both my PS3s and it crashes them both when trying it exit via the ladder in the diner.
Moral of the story, Home doesn’t work :(

2. It should be working now.

Whats the in game item for dead island?
Youles
Thanks – I’ll try the Resistance one again! :)
The DI in-game item is “Exploding Zombie Meat/Bait”!
fattyuk
thanks youles for letting me know abut both of these :D haven’t been on home in quite a while well since to watch e3 lol will have a butchers!
Youles
No worries – we should be made more aware of these things, as it’s the best reason I’ve had to use Home in the last year 6 months or so!! :)
Reality Check
Sometimes i feel like shooting people in HOME LoL (only the rude ones who are rude for no reason)
+ I wonder if my cute kitten can join me and have a rocket launcher with him. . . :D
Origami Killer
I dont see this working very well at all, but I can’t turn down anything free so I may test it out in the future. But Home still doesnt do anything for me

I’ll try and keep my expectations low.
