PlayStation Home Getting FPS, Poker Games

Posted September 23, 2011 by David Radd

Sony recently announced that they were revamping PlayStation Home, adding new hubs for experiencing certain sorts of content. There will be new games baked into this new PlayStation Home, including an FPS in the Action hub.

“Perhaps the most noteworthy addition to the Home space is Bootleggers, an admittedly rudimentary multiplayer first person shooter that gives PS3 owners a chance to frag each other--avatar versus avatar,” writes Andrew Yoon for ShackNews. “It's a surprisingly violent twist to the PlayStation Home world: seeing Home's somewhat stiff participants fall under a blaze of gunfire is something I'd never expected to see in Sony's virtual world.”

The Sports hub will have a fully featured poker game, with a television in the background running news about sports as they happen.
