14 DAY TRIAL // OK, it's true, the thing PlayStation fans have been waiting for, PlayStation Home, exists. Sony's worldwide president has declared some time ago that last year was all about hardware and that starting with 2007, it's mainly about software. And so it seems-the PS Home service is said to launch in autumn.
"It is a deficiency that Sony seems well aware of and that today's announcements are meant to address. Kotaku, a popular gaming blog, reported preliminary details about PlayStation Home last week. Mr. Harrison would not discuss specifics of today's planned announcements but he laid out a clear road map of how Sony intends to improve and augment its online service."
This is a quote from an article on The New York Times, in which Harrison has also made a few comments about what could be the most highly anticipated PS3 road racing title, MotorStorm, which hit retail stores yesterday: "I really think MotorStorm could be the killer app for the PlayStation3," Harrison said in a telephone interview on Monday.
"MotorStorm is the first title we've shipped that really hits the high notes of what the PlayStation 3 is capable of. That means really advanced physics and artificial intelligence, the graphical quality and the online gameplay free of charge."
All right then, killer app (let's hope that it isn't like that GranTurismo case with the guy who ran over an old timer), upcoming online service and rumble for the SIXAXIS on the way. Looks like things are starting to look better and better for the PS3.
