The GamerPad Is A Lie
Coonskin05 | 7:26 PM on 06.28.2008 18 comments


You might have seen the following screen. It was supposed to be a photo of the new virtual online experience that Microsoft was implementing to combat Home. PS3 owners latched on to it as they gleefully announced Microsoft was merely copying Home. Despite the fact that it came from The Place That Shall Not Be Named, it was claimed to be 100% authentic.



Then someone was surfing DeviantArt and noticed this on some kid's DA site.



Look familiar kiddos? Apology accepted.

PS3 or XBOX, this idea of a virtual world is as lame as ever.

I'll pass judgment how lame Home is after I try it. It might be pretty cool as the idea of a Warhawk War Room intrigues me. It might be Barbie Dress up as that does sound lame.

I'll wait and see.

Yeah, I was pretty sure that was bullshit from the outset.

Home is a neat idea but I feel like it's an unnecessarily using up valuable space on the servers. PS3 already has some serious issues with online multiplayer. If they could pull it off I'm sure it will be cool, but will it be worth it?

I really hope Microsoft decides not to rip off Home. I think the idea for Home is actually kinda cool and I can't help but feel like Microsoft's attempt would come off no better than this horrible mock-up

@everyone saying it rip off/stupid..

Second Life online (PC) did it first.. While I will be the first to always say Second Life has turned into total crap (thanks stupid "ageplayers", etc for ruining it) it would be cool if a game company actually made their own virtual world, (besides just ran by some nerds - that way it can be moderated/ran properly, etc).

Whether we like it or not, it (Virt.Worlds) is/are the future of the internet, education, entertainment, shopping, and communication.. Maybe even working! (I earned $1000+ on there without much difficulty).. Just keep an open mind 'til you try it before calling it what it is: crazy and/or fun for those whom you already know, is all I'm saying.

It has nothing to do with using Home. The very idea is, in my opinion, stupid as hell. It's not something I would ever want to use, regardless of how well it is or isn't implemented.
