Official Phil Harrison Keynote @ GDC Thread.

What's most impressive about Sony to me is their ability to make things that appeal to both US, Europe, and Japan at the same time. Little Big World I could easily see Japanese people looking at this trailer and getting hyped.

11:00 a.m.: "Let's bring in our friend Adrien over into our apartment.... First thing we can do is change the wallpaper. This is a basic apartment, but very quickly we can change the look and feel. You could have something like Resistance: Fall of War wallpaper. This can become your clan's clubroom. All the communicaiton functionality works everywhere in home. Now you can also download additional furniture. It will either be free, premium items, or it couldb e linked to particular games as well."

11:01 a.m.: The menus used to change the wallpaper look elegant and flexible, just like the chatracter creation tools. No word on whether this furntiture you can download will be free or not. We imagine a variety of models could be used. We especially like the Eames chair ... we certainly can't afford one in real life. Let's hope the virtual counterpart is more affordable.

11:02 a.m.: "... it's also physics based.... you can pile all of your furniture in the corner if you so which you can take any content that's yours on your playstation 3 hard disk drive and display it. Let's put in some pictures that we have from our hard disk drive. Here we ahve some wonderful slides that we've been showing. Scott, point to different parts of the slides. Yes, here we go. (Laugh audience) If you will forgive me, I will quickly take your photograph. If we can take the house lights up a litltle bit, Everybody smile.

"Let's take the memory stick out. And pop this back into the playstation 3. There we go. Oh it's on machine four, I'm putting it in the wrong machine. Imagine if I took your picture and you just saw it in there. "
 
"You can take any content that's yours on your PS3 hard disk drive and use it in your apartment. For example, Harrison's putting a big picture frame on his wall showing a photo from his hard drive."

You must come over and seee my porn gallery sometime.

11:03 a.m.: The picture frame they placed on the wall shows some slides from tonights' presentation. Phil takes a camera out, take a picture of the audience, loads the Memory Stick (of course) into the PS3, and a picture of the audience should pop up. Unfortunately, they're on machine 4 (remember that glitch earlier?), so he used hte wrong unit. The audience appreciates his lighthearted tone. Phil laughs.

Phil: "Let's go to another apartment.... a more advanced apartment. An apartment that you could extend the available space by buying a bigger space. It's more upscale. It's got a pool table. You can have these premium items embedded as well. Now music that we play in our playstation 3 hard disk drive can be stramed to other users in our space, but also video. Let's posotion a Sony Bravia TV in ther as well .We can walk up to the TV and very simply customize the content."

He's throwing a bravia TV down the stairs. It hasn't broken. "Just like in the real world, in the virtual world Sony technology is still reliable."

:lol

I don't care much for home, but Little Big Planet looks incredible! It's great Sony is offering both to cover a wide range of tastes. The avatars are great, I love how their hands stretch and stick to stuff, and the dude with the cape gets slowed down when other avatars trample it. The physics is incredible. Is this part of home, or a seperate donwload or a game? it's free right? not that it matters cuz I'd pay full price for a game like that.

Those character editors look far more in depth than in many games. I hope they can be implemented for SOME games, like Miis. For example, in a Tony Hawk game. It would be cool if they also supported face-mapping with the eye toy (of course this could cause problems, since any visual image could be mapped).

1:05 a.m.: "Here we can put the Casino Royale trailer running live on our TV. ... We have proximity-based audio, so it gets louder as you walk closer." THe television notably doesn't break, so Phil takes the opportunity to note that Sony's televisions are well built.

"Now you can see that just like in the real world, in the virtual world, the Sony Bravia is a reliable device. And the video continues to run. This is the Home Cinema. Let's go into the movie theatre and see osme content that's made by motion picture studios, TV studioes, and also users themselves."

The black man everyone at Activision can agree on
Premium apartments(i.e. larger) are also available to purchase... people are going to really "buy" in to this DLC add on stuff for this MMORPG-type virtual world.. I just know it.

DS - Game 2.0

PSP - Game 3.0

:lol

bitter much?

Phil's explanation of Game "versions":

1.0 - Every console is an "island" disconnected games, disconnected systems.

2.0 - Connected games, static, disconnected console

3.0 - Connected games, Connected console. Experience can evolve over time.


PSP = 3.0
DS = 2.0

Did he say Xbox1 was 2.0? I would argue that that is a 3.0 console by his definition.

I was hoping for Killzone. :(

I'm going to need more than two games for me to consider Sony back on track. Home and LBP are good starts...But they're still just two games.

11:06 a.m.: The movie theater space has a large screen in the middle of the room. Just like in other home spaces, the view adapts to the medium. The view zooms into the Spider-Man 3 trailer.

"You can see the trailer there. And we can go back up in to the personalized space. Now what we are able to do here is one of two things. We are working with Grouper... who are one of the leading providers for user-content.. in this 3D space. We also have specific movies and telelvision shows that can be accessed by walking into the door. This is a great way to build a community around media content at the same time. So Home is not just about SOny brands and Sony games. It is a much wider network of connected spaces."

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?

God forbid that this doesn't blow everyone away. :/

1up Yours podcast seems quite on the money with good points on both sides, even with Shane thinking it's the second coming.

HOLY CRAP HOME IS SO MINE!!! Its free and it looks so BIG! Look at the enviroment outside!! The Sims totally owned! I was expecting something cool but non interactive! The hype was so high and they still delivered! Unheard of!

Littlebigplanet looks EXTREMELY pretty. Not my kind of game but its beautiful. PS3 is showing its power and justifies its existense.

They better have content filters available. If possible, my avatar will be nude. Or I'll have a shirt with a penis. My Home will have Christy Canyon and Peter North tribute walls.

I hope this can work well with existing games and games that are soon to come. I wonder how "standard" it will be for multiplayer games to be able to start from Home.
