WOLLAN REDEEMED!:D

These three stories were just put up on Kotaku...

Resistance Home Integration

Uncharted Home Integration

WOWhawk Home Integration

R1:
One of the first games expected to shine in one of Home's series of game portals is Insomniac's Resistance: Fall of Man. Resistance is said to provide Home visitors with an interesting room to explore, one that will let PlayStation 3 owners visit unseen areas of the game and tap into bonus content in the form of "intercepted" radio communications between European and U.S. forces.

Uncharted:
While Resistance: Fall of Man's integration with Home should have bonus content fans excited, old school run-and-gun shooter fans should be pretty pumped about what they may be getting with Uncharted: Drake's Fortune's contribution. We hear that the Home portal for Naughty Dog's PlayStation 3 adventure will follow in Resistance's footsteps, allowing Home avatars to explore the game's levels without the threat of being shot at, a nice feature. But it's the Uncharted mini-game that has us far more pumped.

According to our sources, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune comes to Home armed with a side-scrolling 2D arcade game, described to us as reminiscent of both Contra and Out Of This World. Sounds kind of like Capcom's 2D remake of Bionic Commando in its execution, full of enemies and exploding barrels to shoot.

WOWhawk:
...the Home lobby for the Incognito dogfighter will serve as a "war room" where up to eight players can meet to discuss their strategy for an upcoming match. Sure, you could do that with text or voice chat, but it sounds like the developers have gone the extra mile to make planning your battles even cooler.
Using a three-dimensional "sand table" replication of the level, Warhawk players are said to be able to lay out their strategies in a properly scaled space. They'll even be able to place little army men avatars around the map to envision their formations, something we hope they can also do with teeny tiny Warhawk planes, tanks and Jeeps.

Contra with Drake! Running around the Jungle with your Avatar! Barrelz!
OMGWTFBBQz



Megatonz worthy GAF? I THINK SO!

Ultramegatons.

It's like getting an early sequel to Uncharted! :p

Can't wait for them to divulge how the Warhawk Home Space will be.

Sony officially knows what they're doing with Home. I no longer have any concerns about its excellence.

Awesome if true. IF true, I wonder how hard Sony will push third-parties to do something similar for their games.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?

The Uncharted stuff other than the mini-game seems like a simple novelty. I'm sure plenty of GAF would like to stroll through Uncharted's levels but I would not do it.

So... wait, I'm a bit confused. How are these things involved with Home and not just things that could have easily been extras included on the disc, or PSN games?

I better be getting that damn Home invite soon, Sony. (And the rest of the GAF Resistance Clan, too.)

This sounds great, I can't wait to see what else they come up with. Hopefully the 3rd party devs will get on board with this aswell

It's a special room that developers create. Home Video back in the day showed a Sports Lounge. where say EA can make a room and fill it with sports thing. have a mini-game like a basketball freethrow thing. fill it with different EA characters from games and such.

So Home Users can go to Insomniac's Game Room dedicated to Resistance.

Yeah, with all these games with bonus minigames in them I do wonder how come Uncharted did have one as well. Also, why play minigames in Home for free and not purchase them from the Store? Damn this is so not good!

Wait until you see what Warhawk has planned... :D

Spill it... NOW
please?

Firewire said:
You did just fine! Unless this info is false, then there is no hope for you...:lol

Yeah, I figured... Kotaku said they had "sources" and they were right last time with the big Home release fiasco... so I went with it.

Really exciting news though... where the hell is KITTONWY?

WOW - I knew they would innovate with HOME, but I didn't expect this much and this soon!

And especially having the devs themselves participating so much...
