According to Kotaku, Sony has revealed how some of its biggest first-party titles will integrate into the Home virtual community, including such things as a side-scrolling action game, unseen areas from games and more.
Resistance: Fall of Man, Insomniac Games’ launch title, is to get a Home portal offering PlayStation 3 owners the ability to visit unseen areas of the game and listen to bonus content delivered by way of intercepted radio communications between the European and US Forces.
Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune seems to be getting something even better though, offering Home users a 2D, side-scrolling arcade game. According to Kotaku, the game is in the same style of Contra and Out Of This World and will feature loads of enemies and exploding barrels.
The Warhark Home portal will present Home users with a “war room” where up to eight players can meet to discuss tactics and such for an upcoming match. What makes this something more than voice chat is a 3D replication of the level, with which the players can lay out their strategies in an accurately scaled space. It will even be possible to place scaled army men around the 3D map. Very cool. Once the tactics are complete players will be able to jump straight into the game.
It’s all sounding very impressive and it’s good to hear of new and original uses of the Home environment.
Home is expected pretty soon, although no solid date has been confirmed by Sony.
