It’s Wednesday, which means that it’s the time of the week that we here on the PlayStation Home team drop in to let the awesome people of the PlayStation Home community know what to expect in our weekly content publish. And this one is particularly exciting, as we’ve got a little something for everyone that comes Home this week.
First up is the legendary IREM Square, a dusk-flanked carnival scene based upon a traditional Japanese festival that is a veritable reward heaven. Enter into this gamers’ gala and rack up a ton of unique virtual items by interacting with a variety of local characters and playing the space’s dedicated game. Check out the pics below for a sneak-peek at what this cool new space has in store for you.
Fans of the fantastical have more than ample reason to roll [their 13-sided dice] into PlayStation Home this Thursday, as we release the otherworldly Wizard’s Den personal space. This dragon-encircled castle is the perfect place to let loose the sword-wielding, orc-slaying, spell-casting, sorcerer (or sorceress) that resides within. The best part? The super low price, of course ($2.99 USD). Check out the pics below to get a feel for this dreamscape domicile, and be sure to drop into the official PlayStation Home forums after you’ve had a chance to check out your new pad and give us your ever-so-valuable feedback.
Assassin’s Creed fans – I’m looking at you – are being treated to yet another addition to the long line of AC virtual items in PlayStation Home. Ubisoft is releasing male and female versions of the Altair ibn La-Ahad costume from Assassin’s Creed and Assassin’s Creed Bloodlines. Show the world that you “Live by the Creed” by adding the Altair costume to your Assassin’s Creed collection this week.
We’ve seen you coming out in droves for our LittleBigPlanet Featured Game parties, and we’ve heard your feedback loud and clear. That’s why we’re pleased to announce that LittleBigPlanet will have full game-launching functionality come this Thursday. This should make setting up your LBP game launching sessions a breeze. Be sure to come out to Central Plaza all throughout this weekend and launch into your friend’s best levels – and take part in our other Featured Game parties this weekend, which include Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, UFC 2009 Undisputed, and NCAA Basketball 10 (details can be found at the Listen@Home kiosk in Central Plaza).
In other news, the Legion shirt that so many of you grabbed last month from the Theater will magically sprout wings this Thursday. Don’t ask me how they did it; it must be some type of divine intervention. Check out the pics below – pretty cool, huh?
See you in Home!
Yay LBP launching!
Looking good, love the price of the new place.
I love you.
._. I am so happy.
I’m buying all of this.
Great Update Locust-Star.
Any idea on when we’ll see NBA jerseys on home?
meh.
Very impressive.
ummmmm. so this is it ? yes when are the NBA Jersey coming, and public voice chat,etc ?
Are we ever getting voice chat back in Home?
Considering how Spelunker is now in English and how Irem is going to have a presence in NA… seems like Spelunker HD should be releasing soon.
Nice update.
I’m not even a Little Big Fan, but it seems like a great game for true Game Launching support. Long over-due if anything. Can you say if you guys and gals are working on true game launching support for Killzone 2. It really should have it. Or would you be willing to say if you are working on true game launching support for any other games?
2 games I think Game launching would be perfect for are Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 and White Knight Chronicles when that launches. Please try and get it up for UFC 2010 when it comes out as well. I’d LOVE it for Marvel vs Capcom 2 as well.
As a huge RPG fan I may have to get this new space. The price is certainly right.
I have another quick request too. Could you ask whatever team made the light batons to either make them longer or just release a new version that’s longer? I don’t mind the dual batons as my makeshift “Light Sabers” to go with my name and avatar, but they would be PERFECT as Light Sabers if they were just a bit longer.
There are no announcements that I can make at this time regarding full game launching support and other titles, but clearly more developers are seeing the enormous value that lies in offering full game launching support for their games, as evidenced by the LBP announcement. We know the LBP community in Home is very excited about this announcement, and we know that other communities of users that frequent Home are itching for similar developments with their favorite titles. Rest assured that we\’ll continue passing the word along to the developers of these games as long as you guys keep telling us which titles you think should have full game launching support.
