HOMEのサプライズを去年GDC開催前に独断でリークしてSCEから絶交令（もう仲直りしたそうですがｗ）出されたあのKOTAKUからの記事です。
Resistance
"While
Home
for the PlayStation 3 may have generated plenty of buzz for Sony at
last year's Game Developers Conference, its late arrival and the
setting in of reality may have made it put a damper on the hype
surrounding the service. We've had our doubts that
Home may ultimately be nothing more than a prettier
Second Life,
a glorified 3D chat room, one that only makes getting to the games we
actually want to play a bit of a chore. But we've recently learned some
very interesting things about how three first-party published games
will take advantage of
Home's features that have us very excited.
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.
These hidden transmissions will help to flesh out the Resistance story, giving players a better understanding of the game's conflict. We hear that Home avatars will have free roam of unpopulated levels, not unlike a virtual Resistance museum.
As interesting as these plans are to Resistance fans like us, they're not as impressive as what we've heard about what Home in store for Warhawk and Uncharted. Stay tuned."
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.
Sony
is apparently pitching features like these to developers to extend the
lives of their titles, using strong first and second party development
showcases to prove that Home can effectively market outside
of traditional means. We hope they take them up on their offer, because
we're definitely excited about the prospects."
Warhawk
"Sure,
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and
Resistance: Fall of Man may have wicked cool feature sets for PlayStation 3's
Home, but it's actually
Warhawk's planned game portal that has us most excited. According to our sources, 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.
The Warhawk war room is said to also serve as a launchpad for games, thankfully, so jumping into a match shouldn't require leaving the Home interface.
This is one of the coolest additions, in my personal opinion, to come to Home and the kind of thing that we hope is replicated and improved upon by other developers for their team-based titles."
内容はレジスタンスがHOME内のポータル（各ゲームに専用の小部屋があると考えていいでしょう、ここでは部屋と称します）でゲームで登場しなかったシーンを見ることができたり傍受された無線内容を聞けたりすることができるらしいです、これらはストーリーの補完要素となるようで、戦争の発端を理解できより一層レジスタンスの世界に溶け込む事ができるでしょう。
次に神掛かった吹き替えで一部話題を呼んだアンチャーテッドについては部屋でゲーム内レベルをHOMEアバターで歩き回ることができるそうです。またアンチャ部屋には2D横スクロールゲームがおかれてそれを楽しめるとの事、2D横スクロールはアーケード筐体の形で提供されるとの事。
ここまで素晴らしいHOME内容を紹介しましたがさらに凄いのがWH部屋、ここでは最大8人による戦略会議が開催可能な小部屋が用意されていて、
サンドテーブル
（3Dミニマップ）とミニチュアで進軍路線を確認しあったり戦略を練ることが可能です。当然来月更新されるv1.3では一撃必殺修理用レンチや回復ジェネレーターといったとんでも兵器以外にも
HOME連動機能
が確認されています。フレ達と会議を開いてから一緒にゲームへ入る、まさにHOMEならではの魅力です！
