Based on what you said in the first paragraph, I think you're confused. You may talking about Free Realms, a free-to-play game by Sony Online Entertainment. I think you misread the article. I'm pretty sure you're talking about Free Realms.

"Or you might stumble on a soccer field in the middle of a forest and simply decide to play a pick-up game if you like. From the sound of it, Free Realms will encourage you to engage in any and all of the activities you're interested in, while allowing you to ignore the ones you aren't."

Im not confused. In my first post i was talking about things that would be cool in home.

it's interesting ... but the idea is pretty buggus ...

everybody will go after the ball, it will end up like a 8 year old soccer game

also, how do you plan on doing that if the teams are not full, 11 vs 11 ... (you know like in other sports game, you make a pass, the NPC catches it and you press a button to control the NPC .. but that would be the first in the team to do it)

Just to let you know those are my hopes. I mean it could be 5 vs 5 for soccer or whatever. If everyone goes for the ball its not really a "team" your playing with.

Has Sony mentioned anything about playing pick-up games in home? A game of basketball or soccer could get started by anyone,where each person just controls there player. Home could be the first "game" to accomplish this. I meana sports game where you control one guy throughout the game or atfor a period of timeIt could add alot of depth and teamworkto....... lets say a soccer game.

The games camera anglecould be a lot different. Zoomed in more from the broadcaster view but not over the shoulder like max Payne. I think that would be too close. Its doesn't even have to be 11 on 11 for soccer. put 9 or 8 on a team. Controlthe length of the field and tonsof otheroptions. Maybe every 15 minutes of the game, the game shuffles roles so you wont be stuck as the goalie the whole game.3 on 3 basketball games. Piggy for baseball. Design your own stadiums, courts, fields, teams, logos, tournaments.

A football game that makes it fun to be someone besides the quarterback, running back,and receivers. I wanna play with real football fans (and peoplewithgood teamwork)that knows its not the 11 best that makes a team but the best 11. So I'm willing to be a right guard fora entire seasonif it establishesour running game that cant be stop. I hope home could do this because there's alot of potential for this idea and home. I just wanna do more then fix an apartment because I already have one of my own.

[QUOTE="R3B311I0N"]

might make me go 360. idk right now its between the 60 GB PS3 and the Elite. As far as games go, both have 2 exclusives that I'm really looking forward to. X360 has Halo 3 and Bioshock, and PS3 has MGS4 and FFXIII.

However, I also kinda want Ratchet and Clank, and DEFINITELY will want God of War 3 when it hits PS3, not to mention all those PS2 games I never got to play...AND it doesnt have a hardware failure rate of 35%...

On the other hand, 360 has tons of great stuff out now though, as opposed to PS3, and, well, you know...Halo 3...

damn, I can't decide...I've aways liked the software on Sony's consoles, but Microsofts making a good showing this gen and is giving PS3 a beating...but will it last? PS3 seems like a better investment as far as whats under the hood, but will the software library ever catch up?

...help...

Get a 360 and then Bioshock in a couple of days, then halo 3 in about a month and a half. After that, you should have plenty of time to save up for a PS3 and MGS4/FFXIII.

This mans speaks the truth. There is no reason not to have both systems. Its just a matter of now or later. You have halo 3, bioshock, eternal, lost oddyssey, mass effect, left 4 dead, too human, fable 2, banjo 3 ect on 360 side. Mgs 4, little big planet, kz2, ff13, and alot of others i cant really think up.

Bioshock will have better, more visceral,combat than Halo 3. Try 20 man combat, with big daddies, drones, turrets, powers, and ass loads of explosives.

Here are some things you can do in Bioshock:

*Light an enemy on fire, and then electrocute him when he jumps in a pool of water to put out the flames.

*Place a proximity mine on a ceiling. Place a cyclone trap under it. Lure a splicer onto the cyclone trap, and watch as he flies into the ceiling and blows up.

*Use pyrokinesis to light a pool of oil on fire. Use telekinesis to pull a teddy bear through the flamesand light it up. Hurl the flaming bear at a Big Daddy and laugh as it burst into flames.

*Hack a security camera/drone/turret, and use it against your enemies.

*Use a plasmid on a Big Daddy and let him kill your enemies for you.

And that's just the beginning of the combat options. What does H3 have? Shooting enemies? Driving vehicles? Changing weapons? Shooting more enemies?

Sorry but just no. BioShock = close quarters, intense fights. 20 people? No.

Halo = war. Vehicles, battles, jets fighting in the sky.

Honestly, it's like you comparing Doom to Call of Duty. They're completely different types of gameplay. Halo is all about the combat.

Bioshock is also all about the combat. And it's combat is deeper, more innovative, more fun, more flexible, and more visceral.

It makes the fights in H3 look like ****ing Goldeneye combat.

And yes. 20 people, not to mention drones and turrets.

You cant compare halo 3 and bioshock. Halo's biggest feature is the online MP. Biohock has deep rpg roots in the combat.

I dont know if I've seen vehicles in any of the videos but does anyone know if they"re some in this game.
