We’ve just overheard some chaps talking about Home on the train to Leipzig from Berlin. This is what was said:

  • £40 million has been spent on Home so far.
  • Home’s been in development for five years.
  • Home was originally a PlayStation 2 initiative.

Home’s likely to make a decent appearance in Sony’s press conference at Games Convention this week.

Please bear in mind this has come from a man on a train in Germany. You didn’t see us here, right?

    Five years, £40m?!? :O

    I thought Home was originally built on the bones of a cancelled MMO? Maybe they’re counting the dev costs from that.

  2. The man on the train didn’t happen to work at Game did he?

  3. They shoudl Scrap the human side of it, and make the avatars in Home, sackboys/girls.

    Much better.

  4. 5 years. Wow, then.. Home should be really deep.

  5. Good reporting, nice work.

  6. His name is Garratt. Patrick Garratt. ;)

  7. How does Pat actually know he was talking about HOME and not his own home…? :)

    Oh the PS2 bit

  8. @ pjmaybe
    Anyone’s OWN home wouldn’t have a closed or even public beta … ;)

  9. Well I’m fairly certain the PS2 side of things has been reported before, which would explain the five years point and go some way towards explaining the 50 million price. In other words, doesn’t sound unlikely to me.

  10. Did they happen to mention what the point of it all was? :-D

  11. He could have been bulding a detached hoem with a PS2 based media system, until the PS3 came out, and ruined it.

    I listened in on the conversations of Penny Arcade staffers on the Shuttle Bus to E3 a couple of years ago. It confirmed everything I knew to be true about how completely unfunny and wrong about gaming that site is.
