PlayStation Home went into open beta late 2008, and closed early 2015. It was a strange, yet interesting service Sony offered. Many gamers easily dismiss it as a total failure, but in actuality it had a fascinating history. Filled with loyal users, successful developers, and toxicity. This is the story of PlayStation Home; dismissed but not forgotten.

I talked someone out of suicide by role playing as a bartender in PS Home
[EVERYONE LIKED THAT]
Joe?
Good times in ps home🙃
Good onyou
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
As a former PlayStation Home user thank you it means a lot that this is remembered.
Hopefully there is a 2.0
hilyfe01 that would be great
You guys should look up tower unite
And ace combat player? Interesting...
@@wqcfrt15__AC7 you bet my friend
The craziest thing about PlayStation Home is that kids nowadays will never know what this is. That alone simply blows my mind.
Dude just think about the people who were only on xbox or pc during that time. They will never know in their life what ps home was truly like.
Whilst watching this video I was so glad that I was a part of PS Home when it launched. I only started playing it a month after it launched in January 2009 (since it had launched the previous month in December 2008) and I only found out this when listening to the video, otherwise I thought it had been released for ages. Even from watching videos on RUclips kids nowadays will still never be able to understand how it really felt when played. The whole experience is so nostalgic for me as it's almost been 11 years since I first played it, wow man. Plus those were the childhood/early teen years whilst I was at school so that also made it more enjoyable and memorable for me.
I was 5 or 6 when I played it I miss it so much
Its end made me go to xbox
@@RatedRRaj Yeah I started playing in like 2011 because I didn't get a ps3 until 2010. Before that I was on xbox360. At that time I was 14 and I played it for about a year, year and a half. I was 15 when I stopped. I quit because I got way into it and I even had relationships with girls on there. They had mics and cams(PlayStation eye) so I knew they were girls. Then one day I'm like.. I can't be doing this anymore. Good times though.
If you were part of Home you will never forget it. It was so special.
It was and it was free too 😢
Soooooo special bro… peak of Gaming for me
They’re stupid asf for getting rid of it, imagine the fortune they would’ve made during the pandemic. Would’ve pretty much got them all their money back and then some.
I miss it
@@harterism Me too, I had so many good memories of Playstation Home. I feel that one of the reasons PSH didn't reach it's goals is because of hardware limitations as well (hence all the loading screens, clunky game launching, etc.). If they released PSH today on PS5, it will have access to much more modern hardware and the experience would be vastly better. They could really have people joining games together in seconds. Players in each space would load just about instantly and would allow for a lot more players in one space. The spaces themselves would look many times better as the graphics would be improved and there would be more animations going on to give a more life-like feel to it. Damn, I wish they would bring it back, but I know Sony would never bring it back. :(
I loved how if you had movies in your library you could invite friends to the theatre and all watch together
Matt Torres This was one of the coolest and most underrated features of Home.
It would stream from the PS3 hard drive? That's really impressive.
Bigscreen on VR platforms it's a similar features that is one of the killer apps on vr
I remember you could watch movie trailers as well.
Yep. But thankfully you can now do this in VR with friends and its more immersive too.
I met my wife on PlayStation Home back in mid 2009 we are still married we now have 2 wonderful kids thank you Sony
That's beautiful man its stories like these that make me have hope that theyll bring it back!
Awwww I met my boyfriend of 7 years on home. We aren't together anymore only due to family issues and he was originally from Maryland and had to go back but we are still friends
@@Lynn-r7x Sony needs to look at all this and put PS Home at Least on the PS5 or at least version of it . Have it already preloaded on tho the system , I'm not asking for the possible thousands I spent on virtual items least 2k lol I just loved hanging with my Fam me and my wife used to hangout at the Central Plaza and Bowling Alley , great times ...we still play together since we are both gamers and our 2 kids are playing too lol
Liam Browning Is it really that inconceivable lol? I met my wife on a pen pal site. I was trying to learn German and shot her a message, the rest is history.
Dakota Rogers No, I really mean a place where people go to make international friends. I also have a bunch of male friends here in Germany that I made on the same site when I lived in the states. It’s 2019, is it really that incredible that people start relationships online? You seem like you think this is impossible or something.
Anyone else feeling a little “Home” sick after watching the footage of Home?
Brings back so many memories.
I remember getting the beta off my friend my downloading his account on my fat PS3, and only having the main hub, Far Cry 2’s hub, the theater that kept replaying the same music video from Twilight and SOCOM Confrontation, the bowling alley where I learned to play echochrome.
Truly an amazing part of my childhood.
Heck I do.
This video awakened memories I never wouldve remembered!
Yess
Yes
PlayStation Home has so much nostalgia for me, and for that reason, I LOVE it. It may get a lot of hate, but it was popular back in the day.
Ya I lived it as well
Retendo where have you been!? It used to get hate ALL THE TIME
Retendo PS3 games used to hate in it non stop back in the day
Hung out there quite a bit. Think I eben watched a couple of Sony conferences on there as well.
It was the perfect place to chill when you were bored of games. They slowly updated it and made it better and better. It got so big it felt like it's own game. They made millions, because even I spent money on some of the accessories. Playing chess, playing pool, bowling, and that was just the tip of the iceberg. I don't know why they abandoned it. Would be nice to see it come back for PS5, because gaming is getting more and more social. Would be nice to also make it compatible with VR.
PlayStation home just hit differently, I can’t really explain it . But all the people I met on there was wonderful.
I can only agree my guy
Every time i think about PS Home i allmost cry due to just missing it and just being proud of sony
Me too. I met a single man using a girl avatar that loved to eat snacks and sleep a lot and tell a bunch of lies on how she worked at nasa
Yeah. I liked how you could place objects wherever you wanted in your apartment. I would stack shelves on top of themselves to acts as walls so my apartment had multiple rooms lol.
This game was just ahead of its time. Stuff like VRchat, Rec Room, and so much more are popular now thanks to VR, adding a new level of social interaction.
Yes VRCHAT
Can you enlighten me on what you mean ?
You could tell from the get-go, Home really was just ahead of it’s time.
Seems like Sony makes a lot of things “ahead of its time”
Definitely. I remember jumping on and it was amazing but basically nobody was in it at the beginning.
It was really the real first meta verse tha looked good
i got mad when my girl was up there tho flirting and really mingling i was like wtf! but looking back it was wayyyy ahead of everything sony should bring it back its why sony is #1 because x box was on their heels and then home dropped and then the community was locked
@@triworldsystemsuniverse5292 strange away of saying I don't trust my girlfriend
Not even joking, would love if the ps5 launched with home
Check rec room.....
I was sad that it didn't carry over
As much as I love my PS4 I was so disappointed it wasn't there, legit when I was feeling down and was bored of playing games and there was nothing good on TV or Netflix I'd go there and spend hours talking either with random people or my few friends, going and dicking around in the Cantina from star wars or chillin on that beach cove
Watch out for the server freezers.
@@HeavyMetalConspiracy Exactly I didnt really appreciate it as much as I do now.
I was on the last 24 hours when the game shut down, i remember all the avatars were saying “goodbye PSN home” and what not. such good times on this amazing social game..
life simulator idk why but that made me sad lol
Travis Lee it is sad :((
You’re right
I was there
P
PlayStation Home was my go-to place when I get bored of the games I have. I miss it, honestly.
Lol yeah I did that a lot. After playing league story on FIFA I'd hop on and just bum around. It was almost therapeutic
As do we all, I met most of my friends on Home than any other game in my library.
Yes 😂
if you have a PlayStation 4 or a PlayStation 5 you could get nebula realms for free it’s similar to PlayStation home
Insanely ahead of it's time. If something like this launched today it would probably do pretty well.
You mean the metaverse?
@@sauldownbadman876 VR Chat is Metaverse and is the most popular by far and if we are talking about PS Home clones, there is Nebula Realms. It's rather disappointing right now, I check in every now and again but it's dropping users rapidly it seems.
If you have a PlayStation 4 or a PlayStation 5 you could get nebula realms for free it’s similar to PlayStation home
@@ItzlandonYT but i think its just not the same
I think if i would play it i couldnt enjoy it because i just know PS Home is and will allways be better
Where PS Home was free and could be downloaded on every PS3 it was different. It was advertised to every PS3 owner on the main menu so it had a ton of regular people hopping on whenever they were bored with whatever games they owned.
I had a GF every week on home, not even sure if they were all girls, great times though.
LMAO.
I was probably ur gf bro
if Discord existed/was popular during those days you could have found out ;)
K̶ylo̾w̾ hate to tell ya, but those were all fat balding 30 year old men named Jerry
A lot would strip and finger theirselves on video chat lol.
Sony should really think about bringing this back with VR support.
Play Rec Room! It immediately reminded me of PS Home when I tried it and is one of the better VR experiences in general.
@@jaydee2847
Exactly, but just imagine the strengths of Rec Room combined with the strengths of Home, that's the goal here.
Wow f social media when you have playstation home. That's a great idea. Sony should be takeing notes.
VRCHAT is great as well
Pusher Terrence honestly Rec room is filled with children. Which is different than ps home. I remember being in a “fam” and dissing other “fams”... man were those the days.
It's so crazy to think that everyone we used to speak to on here are now grown adults and are getting along with their lifes
Yess. Heart break, allot of my ps home friends stopped playing Playstation & have gotten married or had kids & lost contact with quiet a few of my closest ps home friends
Not all I knew a lot of kids that were like 10/8 or a little older
I used to play when I was 11-12, I’m now 18
Almost all my buddies don’t play anymore. I have great memories with my buddies just playing match after match until we had to get some sleep. I miss them a lot. I’m talking about ps4 though
Yea, pretty much all of my PSH friends never went online after the closure. Never returned. Not even on the PS4.
I miss this period of gaming so much it hurts.
If you have a PlayStation 4 or a PlayStation 5 you could get nebula realms for free it’s similar to PlayStation home
Nebula is rubbish its way off from psh
@@ItzlandonYTunfortunately Nebula never lived up to expectations. It's nice for a bit but it's just not the same.
I miss this period of gaming too, there was a special feeling that about that 07-2011 era that was so special. Buying furniture and hanging out at special areas and just winding down on this after a long session on LittleBigPlanet…
Much of this is just because of nostalgia. You could make the argument games today are just money oriented and its true, but i imagine if we were still teens today, we would still dig the AAA Market nowadays. We would still play fortnite, the newest call of duty and have similiar fun times as we had back then. When you grow older, your perception simply changes. When you were younger, everything was new and exciting. Now youve seen it all and it became stale. Its just how it goes.
Sony after millions of people spent millions of dollars on a free game:
*ight I'mma head out*
👍😂
They should bring it back on PS5
AlvariuxGaming yep it’ll totally belong in this day of micro transactions
AlvariuxGaming and have it compatible with PSVR2 as well.
If they bring it back for PS5, then it will be great cause load times will be greatly reduced.
This buggy mess was the best thing ever. Even if you didn't spend money
PS Home was the Online Sims, that was changing every month until Sony stop supporting it, the only thing that was holding it back was the Hardware, it took really long to load the maps but when it did it was really fun, especially the bowling area with pool tables.
That's the problem with consoles.
@@brandonbarnes8997 Yeah agree, the ps3 wasn't powerful enough to run, maybe the ps4 would of been better but they would of added more content then it would be slow again, the ps5 is probably the better place to Run because of the hardware is way more faster with its loading speed.
Sony problems is that they seem to release stuff to early, like hardware and then try to fix it though software (ps5 is going to be an awesome console), maybe they could make a PS Home 2 but doubt it.)
But least Sony takes risks tho and when they pay off, its awesome 😀
Ps4 is still an awesome console
I don't really like pc gaming cause if something break I find it hard to fix the problem with consoles its pretty much just plug and play.
@@WilsonFox123 I dont mean to be rude, but u sound like someone that doesn't know what they are talking about. Consoles can fix loading times by investing in ssd instead of hdd amongst other things. Pc gaming u literally turn on ur computer and then click on the game and ur playing... how is that hard. Things dont just go bad. I have owned a gaming pc for 3 years and have never ran into a problem except a freezing game which happens on consoles too. Consoles are still PCs except with limitations. Ur just buying a shit version of a pc with limitations and no freedom and less of a game selection. U want to play with a controller pc supports controllers, you want to play on ur tv plug it into a tv......
@@brandonbarnes8997No it fine your not being rude but i just think console's are better than PC in Play Ability also it's much cheaper.
With the loading times, thats what i was talking about (HDD to SSD)
With a PC if there is a problem you need to fix the hardware or software also you need to optimise it yourself cause every PC is going to be a bit different.
(Not to mention the exclusive like Mavel Spider-man, God of war, and many other on PS4. well for now)
@@WilsonFox123 pc does everything a console does plus more I mean after all a PC is what created the games played ...🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ I'm stuck playing rust and csgo rn but theres too many good indie titles on steam rn for me to want to play God of war it is a good game and so is the last of us.
There was a hub on Home when I was a kid that showed a maze in a scary theme. I spent hours failing it and finally a user lead me to the ending and we were teleported to a secret party room with a crazy floor and tons of other users. We all had so much fun chatting in the room and laughing at users who couldn't get in. The tree right outside you could glitch walk up it and teleport into the jail where people would pass by and ask how to get in there. I even found a glitch on a old promotional hub that you could use the grim reaper avatar to glide through the wall after sitting on a bench and you could get behind a counter and act like you worked there while 30+ people were gathering around asking how the hell you got back there. Some girl who was back there was making sure nobody was uploading tutorials on RUclips for it so it could be kept a secret. I miss the game so much.
Burn Zombie Burn? I used to love the maze place.
@@ronniebarter3857 Yeah that's the one. The other place was the siren one.
Dude ikr,I legit cried after watching this vid..
Yup lol, Burn Zombie Burn and Siren Lounge: Ward of Despair. There was always that guy wearing the Pyramid head costume sitting in the seats by the wall. If you didn’t have that costume you would have to sit in the chair get up dance and then hurry up and try to glitch walk on it. Good times😢
"We all had so much fun chatting in the room and laughing at users who couldn't get in."
If it wasn't for that kind user who helped show you the way, you would've still been laughed at to this day.
When I was around 10 and I had no games to play I would play the promotional free mini games on Home 😂
Forbidden Siren and Wipeout was my fav
We all did lol
yeaa
@@ARINOXMUSIC siren was scary back then, being 13 was good..

I remember getting my PS3 on Halloween 2009. I didn’t get any game with it cause my immigrant parents believed it came with a game 😂. I was just happy to have the console. I was happy to play demos all day anyway. So I was updating the console and everything and I see this thing called PS HOME. Downloaded and installed it. Holy shit was I mind blown
Immigrant or ignorant? It makes a huge difference
WrestlinGifs wtf I watch all your videos bro😂😂 they are great!
Same! Had no game to do anything with the console, then i saw
this Home. And i was really mindblown of all this technology and stuff, i was hooked
*Knocks on door* ICE! OPEN UP
FlipR I live in Canada so I’m good
This was literally my home. It was the main thing my PS3 was for. Made so many friends. Met so many of them in real life and still friends with them almost 10yrs later.
Thanks for this tribute to a big part of my life
cool!
Glad you had that good experience. Some of the people I met on Home..I actually met a couple of them from my hometown...We'll just say some things are best just kept online. LOL
W
I spent a fortune over the years on ps home but was devastated not because all that money was for nothing but because it was shutting down...I remember that very moment it shut down and feeling like literally a part of me was gone in that moment...I sat there almost as if I was in shock or it just didn't register.. I'd love if they brought ps home back
I know this feeling so well
@@SykotikShadow we need a petition to bring back PSHome lol.....really though

This was the best PlayStation experience i have ever had! I still think about Home till this day.
I’m agree, though PSH do have up and down. People love PlayStation home. Maybe Sony can do similar like that for ps5. I know it won’t happen. But that be cool if it does.

@@pitchblack5422 Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not but it's not hard to tell, just watch the video, you'll get it.
There's a certain vibe about Home that kind of touches my soul. I know that sounds weird, maybe it's the nostalgia with the design, the home you live in, the sound effects, etc.

One day I got on my ps3 and felt like playing PsHome, just to figure out that it shutdown. I was heartbroken beyond belief
PS5 could bring home to where it should have been. With the ssd and improved graphics, better content and custom avatars. Home was a great experience, but 2020-2021 it would be better.
If Sony were only smart enough..
It could be everything they wanted it to be now
2 years later... Still no promises of pshome. But a Japanese studio might be making it. I spotted what resembles the home logo on the studio tour video. But this is just my speculation.

I remember being friends with some dude who had a mansion and everything and got super excited (I was 12). He even gave me gold shorts. We became friends and even made some new friends from his group for a good few months, then outta nowhere he just went offline. Forever. During PS Homes final days I went to the clubhouse he owned that had all sorts of cool stuff just to reminisce before saying goodbye to it all.

Not gonna lie, PSHome was so much better considering it was during PlayStation's peak. I would give anything just to go back.
You think the PS3 era was the peak of Playstation? I'd go for the PS2 or more likely the PS4. In terms of popularity at least.
@@FortisV PS2 I'd also agree with now that I think about it, but I pick PS3 over PS4 just due to the fact of there not being parties (more social interaction in games) and because free online play

As far as online goes ps3 was definitely the peak

The craziest part is having 2 friends i met on PS Home still on my friend list who I still talk to once a year.
I used to spend whole days just Vibin on PS Home
Ya I had nothing better to do and it was beautiful but boring af
if you have a PlayStation 4 or a PlayStation 5 you could get nebula realms for free it’s similar to PlayStation home
I still have PlayStation Home on my PS3 with saved screenshots. It's a shame they never put it on PS4
It’s a shame they never gave us a refund for what we brought.
K̶ylo̾w̾ fr tho
Me too mate... and i actually miss it still today... Out of sight but never out of the heart.

How i always ran around lol..
I remember going to the theater a lot to watch the “2012” movie trailer. I think that was on 2008😂
Dude. I remember sitting by the pond in Central Plaza and watching the Legion trailer. Goddamn I'm old now.
Yea same haha. In my $15 Hollywood mansion that i've bought with my dad's debit card hehehehehehe
Dude I bought a house just to watch crackle all day lmao
I remember watching that twilight paramore music video in the theater
Home would work today. It shouldn’t of been removed.
During this lockdown time definitely
They almost need to do a recreation. This was more than 10 years ago. If they did it now it would be flawless
On Kami
Shouldn't *have been removed
I remember vaguely I had an apartment by the ocean. Cool stuff
Everyone did. That wad the default one. I had a treehouse one that I got for free which then became paid. And some snow map as well.
@@computethisinfo whattt they had a snow one im mad :( I only got to play it a handful of times
I had the batcave from playing Batman Arkham asylum
Best one was Rapture from Bioshock. That shit was spooky.
I actually really miss this. This was the first game/community that i actually enjoyed. O.G 2008 home space. I had the Audi Apartment, and I would just watch the view from the rooftop. Beautiful.
Home was amazing. Such a shame it's gone. The bowling alley and the theatre were my go to hang out spots haha
The playground & trying to figure out the glitches
I liked being a blonde girl at x7 while taunting at the uglies who couldn't get in. LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO
Its back Sorta while not the same just seek out Destination Home :)
Because me and a close friend of mine that I’ve known for 20 years that I used to live with for a handful of years as well before I moved out onto my own own, me and him for at least a good 7 to 8 years at least, were bowlers, we probably still have it in us to bowl, like getting back out onto the lanes with the balls that we still have the bowl with, but me and him every now and then used to spend time going on the home and just going straight to the bowling alley and trying to perfect timing and the gauge in order to hit the comma pocket as they called it in bowling, and just enjoy bowling in the bowling alley, at least when I was visiting him at his parents house when he still lived there, and we’d hang out in his room for quite a while, just hoping that there was an open lane and me and him would set ourselves up, and just bowl game after game after game after game, for a while and just enjoy it.
I myself had a really nice apartment type place, and besides the items you could wear that you won through like the game trophies, I myself ended up buying personalized items overtime for my apartment I believe it was that I owned on there, but yeah, I ended up buying some of my own things as well too.
@@Boarder4892 that's really cool, thanks for sharing
I liked Home and wish they'd bring a version of it back.
Loved that some titles would give you items for your Home apartment based on obtaining certain trophies.

@@ItzlandonYT Why am I just finding out about this now? And considering it's been out for about 6 years now, it's likely dead.
Imagine that Sony Made a PS VR Version of PlayStation Home. I Doubt that will happen
Rec room kinda
Now we have 2 semi-PShome games that aren't even good or give the same vibe. I miss PSHome so bad :(
That’s like the movie ready player one
Rec Room is the closest thing.
Akira Kurusu True but like the people say Rec Room is the closest thing to this.
i convinced a guy on Playstation Home that i was Taylor Swift. lol im a guy
Hold up, someone commented above that they were tricked by someone as they said they were Taylor Swift... could it be?
huh
Krager omg yes wtf 😂 could it be?? xD
@@kaiolsen8425 he saw that comment, that's why he posted this.
Giovanni Rosado yeah I know, hoping it would be that 1 in a million chance
Lowkey miss this shit so much, I had so many friends I still wonder how they’re all doing. 🤣😭
Long live the greatness that was PS HOME.....I met my man on PS Home and we've been together almost 2 decades now I will never forget the memories or the friends I made who are actually still my friends to this day
I miss home and now I miss uncharted 2 multiplayer since servers shut down last night. Long live ps3
Chris P. Bacon Did Sony shut down PS3 servers?
@@Kylow0 naughty dog for uncharted series and last of us for ps3
What about the remaster severs?
Michael The Sociopath remaster tlou still gonna be up. Uncharted doesnt have online mode in remaster.
Man, Uncharted 2 multiplayer was the shit.
I remember wearing my infamous Cole jacket chilin in star wars cantina
Same
Your a fucking legend I can't believe you remember that.
Nameless Nation real shit
Oh yeah, that's the life
YOO YEAH SAME 100%
The coolest thing about home was walking through Sony’s E3 2010 booth. I wish we could still have something like this
The best thing about PlayStation home was just exploration and just being THERE. I miss this and will always miss it.
I was shocked at how many people were actually there instead of playing a game online. Plus I played street fighter in PS home😂
The fact that Home got a hardcore following and made money for people, doesn't sound like a "failure" to me.
it had a lot of messups tho (i wish we'd get a sequel tho for PS5)
@miguel ornelas yeah same, but if they make Home 2? damn son, i'll be excited
Andy Hughes it’s just more RUclips clickbait is all
@@AsherNebulus i guess you didnt really get the point of the video, to recap, the point was, the idea seemed weird to devs, so they had to change it, and change the simple looking people and make them much more realistic, then when it was supposed to launch, someone got fired and the launch was delayed another year, then when released it was barren as much of the content to be promised within was simply not there at launch, and that on top of framerate issues and glitches made the launch itself terrible, then because the dev team became a dumpster fire, they could barely add anything and it was a bit too late anyway and overall it just became a small social space like in destiny... but as its own game. it got some support from 3rd party developers but the game was already dead and it didnt get the triple A support it needed as well as the funding it needed and the layoffs to actually get home to where it was supposed to be, altho there were some people that were huge fans of PlayStation Home (as all things have some huge fans) most people were disappointed and didnt care about the app and just ignored it... and finally as the playerbase seemed to dwindle more and more, they shut down the servers in 2015. the funding problem was sonys fault and the devs couldnt have done anything to save it :/ as much as i liked PlayStation Home, i understand what happened and that the servers had to be shut down, but it was a sad day nonetheless...
@@Moped_Mike i feel like everyone here listened and didnt care because they liked PlayStation Home or something -_- guess what dude, i liked it too, i thought it was an awesome app but it most definitely did fail and if you watched the video and checked the facts, (altho some might be hard to come by as sony tried to cover parts of it up) you'd definitely be able to tell that with all its problems, this app did fail...
I actually met my girlfriend on PlayStation Home in 2010.
We're now married ❤️🏡
congrats man c:
Unbelievable
Nice!!!
Cap
beautiful, but howww.. i don't get it.
these videos you make focusing in on subjects that nobody else is talking about are so great. love the deep dives, the interviews. awesome work ryan
I dressed as an old fat guy in a beanie repeatedly typing SPARE CHANGE while I danced... : ^ )
😂😂
Your the type of guy who makes life fun! :D
LOL
F
This is far too funny for 3am
I remember being a mech, owning a Lamborghini, and wanting a cool dog.
I don't remember the graphics being so bad😂
F😭
Everything just got so much better and u got used to it
Me neither but then I compare this and Horizon Zero Dawns graphics and I see how much we have advanced in terms of graphics
Well it looks much better on your tv, he seems to have very low graphic game footage cause I still have videos and they look much better, or clearer I should say.
HeroofSomething or the fact the game came out in 2008 and as kids we thought it had good graphics back then
Here's how it is the graphics were amazing during ps3 era when ps4 wasn't a thing, and when the ps5 comes ppl will start saying ps4 graphics are bad and the pattern goes on....
I'm 53, always loved consoles since the early 90s. Recovering from a heart attack and decided to get the Ps3 out the cupboard. Ps home was a strange yet magical place.
I watched my first E3 conference streamed from inside PS Home lol
That's true! I remember!
Was that the one in 2010?
Yeah I remember that I watched it with my cousin.
Same. Good times, man...
Oh boy i remember seeing the e3 conference there in the market hub waaay back in 2009-2010. Nostalgic
I miss finding glitches in the worlds and going to areas not meant to be seen
They need to rework this into a VR game and bring it back for the PS5.
Lol they are.
Michael See any more info ?
@@Usafpararescue96 lol they aren't
Michael See there’s rec room....
Y E S
This should definitely be making a comeback. It's really a fantastic idea the issue is that it was ahead of its time and the industry didn't understand this yet.
if you have a PlayStation 4 or a PlayStation 5 you could get nebula realms for free it’s similar to PlayStation home
@@ItzlandonYT I look at that. It looks rubbish.
There is a couple of guys trying to bring it back. It’s in a closed beta right now
Perfect PSVR2 launch title
I played a lot more PS Home than I would like to admit. I still distinctly remember coming home on Christmas, busting out my prepaid Visa cards, buying a big daddy outfit and a loco roco apartment and I was home. Don't forget the virtual e3 booths. God I miss home.
Ave Mitchell who doesn’t miss it...I hope they bring it back to ps 5. Hope more videos are made regarding home and why it should be back just so that it is not forgotten as people move forward with new consoles and just games.
I miss it. Was fun to go in there and explore and stuff when there was nothing to play.
Ps home for life 👍👍🐯
Not really. It was pretty lame tbh. Just a bunch of losers hitting up female avatars lmfao. That's why Sony pulled the plug on it.
Yo I think the last time I can remember playing was during the Doctor Who event. Where you could go into a mini game where you had to fight Daleks n shit it was tight as hell.
I was so small when I last saw the words 'playstation home' in PS3.. That's PS and my childhood, almost synonymous... Ahh....Memories....
Same :(
Same. Makes me teary eyed.
Same
Me too. It was awesome
Shin Chan Nohara bruh can you tell me where to get crayon shin chan subs early seasons? Lol
That is an awesome 1:22 INTRO. Sometimes I just play the beginning to feel better. Great piece in the documentary series. When’s the next one?????
This, this was one of the most important games in my life and it wasn't even a game. It was a UI, remember talking to my mate who I've not seen in 3+ years. Good times.
Who would play it if Sony surprised everyone with a pre-installed remastered version of the Home on ps5?? 🤨
Immediately, i remember playing reallygood games and meeting neat people like there was a city builder that i loved because you could explore your own city, i remember liking the mmo, and playing things like the shooter and even getting decent and buying good gear for it.
me def
Facts
I have A high end Gaming PC ,but if sony would surprise us in the future, i would buy a PS5 Just for that
There's a great value version on the ps4 called atom universe
Using footage of DarkSydePhil when talking about toxicity in the community. Perfect. Well done.
Yeah I dont like that guy...
@@Shadowninja8 You're a real special one
Did Phil leave cam on on purpose showing lil phil or was it really accidental
@@jlove1945 It was an accident, but one of his early strategies to downplay it was to say it was purposeful and he was just pretending.
Matt Trey "WHY AM I TOXIC?"
I'll never forget my family I had there. Hope they're doing well wherever they are..🙏
I was genuinely crushed when it left. Fortunately, I feel like VRchat is a great spiritual successor.
This is an awesome documentary! You did an amazing job dude 👻 and thank you! It was really cool to be apart of it 😸
I’d always hang out at Bootleggers ‘29 I was CocaCola
Wow...talk about nostalgia.Whenever I came home from a bad day of school,I'd always just hop on this game with my friend from school and have the time of my life.If there was one game that I would choose to revive and include an offline mode.I would automatically pick this game. R.I.P ps home 2008-2015 :( btw we should make a petition to bring this game back on ps4 or better yet ps5 and if it gets enough signatures,we can show sony that we care about this game.
retrosparks95 make the petition & drop the url. It’s gotta start with someone. May as well be you lol
yeah if u do a petition I'll SUPPORT it. lets make it happen
Do it. We got u, im home sick
Whilst watching this video I was so glad that I was a part of PS Home when it launched. I only started playing it a month after it launched in January 2009 (since it had launched the previous month in December 2008) and I only found out this when listening to the video, otherwise I thought it had been released for ages. Even from watching videos on RUclips kids nowadays will still never be able to understand how it really felt when played. The whole experience is so nostalgic for me as it's almost been 11 years since I first played it, wow man. Plus those were the childhood/early teen years whilst I was at school so that also made it more enjoyable and memorable for me.
retrosparks do It, I’ll sign
Jesus lol it seems like everyone who watched this video played home back in the day and yes I played it too. This truly brings me back to the good old days, I feel so old now I wish I could relive the entire decade from 2000-2010 again they're the best years of my life.
Awesome documentary Mystic! This made me realize how much I miss Playstation Home. Great memories!!
PS Home was way ahead of its time, and it took a long time to do things well.
But it was a fantastic free product. I wish it was brought over to PS4.
SONY really blew it by abandoning it. They had something special and when it was reaching its potential, they let it die.
The main reason it was a shore and hard to keep using it, was that it just had so many loading screens and traveling through sections was slow.
I loved playing Chess and pool. They finally started having worth while mini games, seasonal themes/events and activities years later, and some were neat.
Home was becoming a real fulling service. But SONY just abandon it.
I was never that social or ever play any of these type of games, Second life, the SIMS, etc.
But I liked HOME and met a few people that became my top friends on my Friends list that i would play games with. HOME should have came to the PS4
Agreed.
@PlayStationfanview how is it too late? Just turn the servers on and patch it to the PS5. It would run way better and that it could ever run on the PS3. Loading times and server capacity would be extremely better. Frame rate and people skipping wouldnt happen. Thing loading in and playing in the back groung would just be seemless.
Plus there is no way it would be free now. Maybe with PS+ subscription?
Also launching a game that was usually on disc back then - you had to know that game was being played, (went to that games room). But now with more and more digital games, i think launching games would be smoother etc. Party chat working better. etc.
@@squidracerX how is there no way? It was free before? And frew to play games are very comon now. And Home was said to make a profit?
You comment make no sense. It would be free to use as it would make $ from micro transactions and advertisement.
It just pains me to see how this game will never get the chance to be brought back because of how obscure and forgotten this game is to most mainstream audiences i even bring it up in conversations with my friends who are playstation fans that have no idea what PS HOME even is. I remember playing it all the time then stopped playing for a long time when i got my xbox one then on 2015 i remembered that this game even existed so i went to launch it on ps3 to just be welcomed by an error message multiple times confused i looked up what going on with PS home to find out it got shut down just 2 months earlier... my heart was broken :(
Bro I feel you... good times.
Immediately 1 minute into the video I got a rush of old memories of every single person I met on Home so long ago. So many friends lost to time, almost got me choked up.
