Quantcast


The Batcave is coming to PlayStation Home photo

Over on the Eidos forums, a FAQ for Batman: Arkham Asylum has an interesting addition under the section laying out exclusive content for the different platforms the game is releasing on in a a couple of weeks. In there is a listing for a "Batcave Outpost Apartment" for PlayStation Home.

According to the forum post, the Batcave will have a considerable quantity of goodies in it. There will be a Batmobile and Batwing, a Batsuit and an assortment of Bat-gadgets in the space. It goes on to state that the content will be free. 

Without any official word from Eidos on whether or not there will be Home freebies for Arkham Asylum (the image above is from MK vs. DC), we're chalking this one up as a rumor for the time being while we wait to hear more. As a consumer, I still don't see much of a reason for me to hang out in the online space. That said, if I were whiling away the hours making suggestive comments to random passers-by who pretend to be female, I'd totally want to be able to go home to a decked-out Batcave.

[Update: Originally a "rumor," this has now been confirmed. Playing Batman: Arkham Asylum on your PS3 will unlock a special Batcave Outpost personal space, seen after the jump.]

As koehler83 said, this is now verified via the PlayStation Blog. And it looks like I will have a coffee table to get that will match my couch. Honestly, my pad is looking pretty bitchin' right now ^_^

I've always been curious as to what goes down in Home. There was a time around it's launch where I would've imagined it to be mayhem. Now though I imagine it to just be a cold and lonely place. And creepy.

Well, at least Home is starting to look more appealing. To me anyway.

What's the point of this if only 1 out of 3 Playsatation players use Home?
Now let's talk about LIVE Batman...

Oh, please. Home is Sony's ridiculous attempt to copy "Second Life". Make it more interactive with some decent games or things to actually do and maybe I'll give it another chance. But this ain't-a gonna do it.

I might just download Home to create a personal little room to display trophies and add a Batcave to. My interest doesn't go beyond the "personal space" aspect, though; fuck the "social" segment of running around and seeing female avatars get accosted.
