一帮闲棍吵了一天就吵个震动，居然没人提这新闻，SF太让我失望了


言归正传，游戏网站kotaku昨天发了一篇文章，内容如下：

Rumor: Sony To Unveil PlayStation Home

We just received a very interesting tip that, while juicy and quite believable, we're labeling as rumor for now. As you are probably well aware, GDC executive director Jamil Moledina set Sony's Phil Harrison up for the spike yesterday, claiming that PLAYSTATION 3 owners will be "very happy" when Phil's keynote takes place next week.

Could the PlayStation Home, Sony's blending of achievements and Miis be that big surprise?

While the rumor seems to make sense, keep in mind while reading through it that it came from an anonymous source and that the half-dozen development studios we spoke with hadn't heard a thing about it.

Sony, when contacted earlier today, said they do not comment on rumors or speculation.

Playstation Home sounds like it could be an interesting, lo-fi, killer app, as described by our source.

Basically, you get to make an avatar for your console (like a Mii) and this avatar has a room. As you play games and accomplish certain tasks, you will receive items with which to adorn the room that are specific to the game (achievements). The kicker is that this is going to be a new requirement for every PS3 game...This also sounds kind of like it could fulfill the promise Sony made at last year's GDC keynote to bring social networking to the PS3.

So we move from product based to service based, starting with packaged product augmented by downloadble content. We'll enhance this with social networks, the MySpace experience, this will be a key part of the PlayStation3 going forward. What brings it to life is the voice chat, the text chat, the video, the social features we're building in for the future.
Rooting around some recent (and not so recent) comments from Sony spokespeople, we find some things that might just validate this.

From Phil's recently published DICE interview with Newsweek editor N'Gai Croal comes this tidbit, following a discussion on the "lo-fi" approach Nintendo took with their Mii avatars:

If you are going to have an avatar which is your representative in a virtual world, it has to stand for more of your personality than some 2-D cartoons. So while I think that millions of people would be happy with cartoony looks, the planet at large probably isn't. And it's an experiment that will be played out very soon, actually.
From Dutch gaming site Next Generation Gamer comes this choice quote from an unidentified Sony rep:

We have something big coming up for the PlayStation Network, but I can't say anything about that yet. It has something to do with the Home Button on the SIXAXIS controller, and with the community.
Again, this is rumor. Our source continues to remain anonymous. Sony could be announcing the robust set of social features it has been touting for a long time, ones that go beyond voice and video chat, and tap into the collective and competitive feature sets that helped make both Xbox Live and Animal Crossing a hit with gamers.

根据不愿透露姓名的内部人士的消息来源，SONY有可能在GDC上宣布PS3的一项新服务内容——“Home”。有点类似Myspace或者说虚拟社区的概念，玩家可以创建一个代表头像，并拥有一个空间。其中一项内容是当玩家玩通某个游戏或完成游戏中某个任务时，这个空间内会收到相应的虚拟奖励礼物。

这个消息是否可靠，请根据以下事实判断：

1. 有好事者查到SCE已经注册以下商标


2. SCEA PR的头发了封EMail给kotaku，让他们扯掉这篇文章，否则就他们打入黑名单，不准他们参加SONY在GDC的发布会。双方的Email被人公开出来。现在双方达成了和解， 详见下文。

Sony and Kotaku Make-Up
What a hellish day it has been today. Both for Kotaku and I'm sure team Sony.

First to summarize: We posted a rumor after Sony asked us not to and they emailed to say we were no longer welcome at any of their private GDC events and that they would no longer provide us with any information found outside of the public forums.

We posted said e-mail and the Internet imploded.

First, I have to say thank you to all of the websites, newspapers, magazines, people who were so quick to come to our defense and supported our decision to stand by our story.

Second, I want to thank Dave Karraker, head of SCEA PR, who was big enough to call me and talk the whole thing through after this exploded.


He told me his take on the story and his frustrations and I told him mine, in the end we agreed to disagree on some level, but also decided that our readers and gamers in general would be best served if Sony and Kotaku could still play nicely together.

In a nutshell: The story remains up and Sony has re-invited us to the meetings and interviews initially scheduled for the Game Developers Conference.

It's unfortunate that we, not just Kotaku and Sony, but all of us had to go through this, but it's good to see the outcome: We were doing our job and Sony was doing theirs and now we can both continue to do so. Brian Crecente

早就看到了……
中文版的都懒得转，远不如震动有话题性么:D

Kotaku网站近日刊出了一则消息，称索尼将为PS3加入一项新的功能，类似于虚拟社区。虽然仍标注为传言，但从字里行间可以看出，这条消息已经得到了证实。

之前，任天堂Wii主机的一项独特功能就是他们的Mii，玩家可以为自己设定一个卡通形象，并在游戏中使用这一形象，或是在网络上以此形象和其他玩家进行交流。

根据目前的消息，索尼的Playstaion Home功能将与此类似。玩家可以自行定制一个代表自己和自己的PS3的虚拟形象。这一虚拟人物拥有一个房间，玩家通过玩游戏通关或者达到特定目标，可以得到特别的战利品来装饰这个房间。据称，未来索尼将会要求所有PS3游戏都提供战利品的设定。另据消息，Playstaion Home将会利用PS3手柄SIXAXIS中间的PS标志按键，随时按下即可进入。

索尼将会为此专门开辟全球性的虚拟社区，玩家可以使用其虚拟形象进行音视频聊天和各种高级社区功能。索尼高管还曾经在采访时表示，任天堂的2D卡通形象在短时间内可能获得成功，但人们很快就会厌倦。因此，我们可以预计Playstation Home将会是一个全3D的虚拟世界。那么，该功能几乎可以相当于一个大型网游了。

据称，索尼将在今年的GDC大会上发布此功能，并将其视为促进PS3推广的一项法宝。虽然Kotaku网站上的消息仍为传言，但索尼似乎对此事曝光非常的紧张，甚至为此与网站大动肝火，将其列入了黑名单，不允许该网站参加今后所有索尼组织的活动。从这样的情况来看，这条消息属实的可能性几乎是十有八九。

对于MS提供的的网络服务水准，我个人是非常没有信心！互联网上很多公司做的网络产品无论从功能，效率，创意，操作等等，随便都能超MS的的产品几条街。
PS3的网络服务水平会逐步高于XBOX Live，我觉得可能性非常大～

LS在说笑么？Sony的内部网络线路都是租的，你还指望PSN能超越完全自行运营的XB live?
