inFAMOUS Space Comes to PlayStation Home, Far Cry 2 Game Launching Support + Tons More!



Posted by Locust_Star // PlayStation Home Online Community Specialist



Welcome back to your all-points BOLO bulletin wherein I give you, the beautiful people of the PlayStation Home community, a head’s up on what to keep your eyes open for in our next publishing update. This Thursday,
you’ll see that we decided to start the 4th of July festivities a few
days early – and with a serious bang - by shooting some truly explosive
content your way.
Up first is the electrifying inFAMOUS
game space: The Abandoned Docks of Empire City. This awesome space
supports the next level of UGC (User-Generated Content) on the Home
platform with its Graffiti Wall mini-game. Here, you can use our
graffiti tools to design your own unique art to display to your
friends. There’s also a voting feature so that you can give props to
the creators of your favorite designs, and a feature that allows you to
share your masterworks and check out your friends’ latest and greatest
creations – be it simple scribbles or extravagant frescos.


The Abandoned Docks of Empire City also marks a first for Home in that it will broadcast exclusive media developed by Sucker Punch,
specifically for the hardcore inFAMOUS fans. And to top it all off, we
also managed to squeeze an extra mini-game into the space – a scrolling
shooter-type button-masher called Reaper Shock that lets the community
compete for high scores on the built-in global leaderboard (and rewards
the most highly skilled with some rad reward items to decorate your
avatar and your personal space with). For a full walk-through on the
new space, check out the story on IGN.
In other news: Ubisoft continues to deliver by patching their hit title Far Cry 2
to support game launching in Home. So be sure to visit the Far Cry 2
space to meet up with new people to launch into the multiplayer version
of this groundbreaking FPS, and keep your eye on the official PlayStation Home Clubs and Events forums at PlayStation.com for more details about the special Far Cry 2 game-launching events we have planned for later this week.

Those of you that participated in the epic Hamsters vs. Humans battle
a few weekends back will be rewarded with your free aviator helmets
(for the guys) and fedoras (for the girls) for doing your part in
helping keep Home pro-Human…for the time being at least. We’ll also be
making available some limited Independence Day-themed goods, some
basketball and hockey gear for you sports fanatics, free G-Force
shirts, and assorted other apparel. So be sure to check out the Mall
for updates to our stores come Thursday morning.
On top of all this, we’ve managed to work out a few pesky bugs that you have reported to us over at the official PlayStation Home Support sub-forum at PlayStation.com. You’ll notice that your Ghostbusters Firehouse
and Loot Sound Stage personal spaces can now support Picture Frames
(and that the latter has been patched for voice chat capabilities). As
always, we thank you for your patience while we work to optimize your
Home experience and encourage you to continue to report any bugs to us
using the aforementioned Support sub-forum.
See you all in Home!
