More from the land of Home: Kotaku is reporting that a source has revealed to them that three first-party games – Warhawk, Uncharted, and Resistance – will see themed areas within the social networking hub, completely with mini-games and other extra content.
Resistance’s area would let gamers visit areas of the game they never were able to previously, as well as access bonus content like radio communications from the game that will flesh out the game’s backstory.
Uncharted would take things a step further by having its area be home (no pun intended) to a 2D side-scrolling arcade game.
Saving the best for last, Warhawk’s area will purportedly contain a “war room” where you’ll be able to plot out a strategy for upcoming games with other players. Using a 3D replica of a game level, you’ll be able to really create more sophisticated strategies than you could possibly hope to with voice chat.
I was already excited about Home, as you’ll have no doubt noticed over the past many months, but if games turn out to have these sorts of areas within Home that can expand upon the game’s experience, that would truly be sweet. Imagine an MMO where you could access the auction house from Home…
Exciting, isn’t it?
