InFamous Home Space Brings Shocking, Graffiti

@robinthakur: Wow...way to go there mang ._.
No, cholo wouldn't equal to Ni****, if they use it on their own songs and seem...well rather proud to be cholo then yeah Im sure it isnt.Think of cholo as "street hooligan" just in more slang and casual terms. Being Racist? I think not, we just think it's rather silly and contradictory on their part, to call us "gay" when they seem to like, or draw in this case, the things they judge us for. And don't go calling a real Mexicano cholo :c That's kinda disrespectful.

@Sir-Lucius has a level 93 Ubersaw: Where's the fun in dry humping?...Anyway isn't that rather racist? I had no idea what the hell a cholo was but it sounds like the way people used to use the n_____ word tto refer to black people...We don't have many mexicans in the UK, clearly. Next time I see a 100% mexican coughing away, I'll scream "Cholo" at them ^_^

@CosmicElement: what kind are we talking about again ?_?
If we're talking about uniform fetishes then yes. I am that kind of sexual deviant.Whatever that means.

At last. Some kinda game related activities in Home. We need more fun activities and less social crap in Home.

@Advent Chaos is Selling his Wii, interested? Anyone?: So you're THAT kind of sexual deviant, eh?

CosmicElement

@mangs:
Yeah but then it would take up a lot of HD space, and I'm sure people wouldn't like that. I think the graphics are like this so as to minimise space consumption. And they're not exactly bad, to me at least.

Also, it's free, so you can't really expect something crazy awesome like Uncharted 2.

AXATAX

@Pikachu Mariachi: We lol, so we don't =(: cholos are Mexican gangsters, not Mexicans in general. if you live in middle class suburbia chances are all you'll encounter are wannabe cholos with iPods and tricked out Civics. turst me, you'll know when you see a real cholo, you might not want to make eye contact because it might be the last time.

what's the fucking point of this? get out and bomb for real.

Home is growing on me. Onoe thing it REALLY needs though, is footfalls. Silent Running is an awesome film, but when you are doing it in Home, it feels weird. Particularly in the Resident Evil 5 space... running on the ground doesn't make a sound... it's bizarre. Even a simple "tip-tap" rather than context-sensitive sound effects would be an improvement.

@Nick Richardson: Facebook and consoles need to remain separate. I am not ashamed of my gaming, but at some point in my life I might want a new ladyfriend. I don't really want them to know just how deep my obsession runs...

Ungruntled

@bobtheduck: I'm a Facebook user. But it's just something I don't need on my console. I've already got multiple means of accessing it and don't really care for another. Especially when I've always got my laptop next to me.

@Nick Richardson: I for one would appreciate both. I know kotakuites hate Facebook users but I switched from posting using my old kotaku account to posting with my facebook one for the convenience of one account.

The ability for me to copy the posts to my facebook page. That way I can have discussions with kotaku members on the subject of my gamer friends can pick up on it on facebook and we talk about it there.

I would like to link my facebook account to home. I could have a new tab at the top to show my trophies and a picture of my avatar and homespace

Like every other Home this, this looks boring as usual.

D0RC

Who the hell even uses Home? I saw it in action for about ten minutes and was overcome by the desire to gouge my own eyes out. I'd never been so bored. Those creepy-looking lobotomised zombie characters didn't help much either.

@Handsome Al: Can i count your references, SUCKAS?!

buckeyes75

@Advent Chaos is Selling his Wii, interested? Anyone?: I've always found it ironic that the people most likely to give you shit for doing "gay" things are most often the ones obsessed with penises, butts, dry humping, and well, things you'd expect a man attracted to another man to be interested in.

@undefined: so yeah! how bout that home space?? ::clears throat::

One more cool Home space.

One less reason for people to hate on the service.

At least ... the argument that there's "nothing to do and nowhere to go".

FrankieViturello

@bobtheduck: I think it has more to do with the fact that many people want Facebook and their games kept separate. Facebook has already infested enough industries/services/electronic items.

Cole Cola!

all interesting news is good,i like that home is growing,and its becoming more interesting everytime,thats cool thing.almost everyday i heard something new about ps3or psp,thats very cool

scalman

There's of course the requisite shooting bad guys with lightning mini-game

So the Home space gives us the full game, eh? Sweet.

RAWR >:3

Combichristoffersen

Graffiti maker looks pretty neat.

@492b2 3b5t5k4mk3 3ñx39: Wait, aren't cholos, like, mexicans in America? If not, I could live surrounded by cholos and not even know it!

Pikachu Mariachi: We lol, so we don't =(

@nukee: yaeh, I know, facebookers are the scum of the earth... To people on Kotaku, anyhow, for... some reason. Because having your real name is terrible and making a screen name is teh awesome.

>:3

Van_Occupanther

Wangs are yesterdays news. It's all about the asses. I'm going to draw so many asses on that wall.

The Swearing Gramps

@OkayOctane: It is when the word is right in front of you, like the title of this article.

I agree with you on the wand idea though.

@Archaotic:
Didn't really care about that one, but the "get in the car" graffiti with a lion made me smile.

@WFROSE:"wall will"

stupid batteries in wireless keyboard...

@Advent Chaos is Selling his Wii, interested? Anyone?: It's not hating if they are in fact retards. Hell I'm Hispanic and I don't even like the loud talking cholos/thugs in my city thinking it's cool to smoke weed everyday and bum around. But in response to your response, dumb people think with their dick and not really going to contribute anything to society. Sorry for the rant, but these teens and young 'adults' like that need to wise up and try and make a better life for themselves. I'll get off the soapbox now.

And the wallwil soon be covered with penises...

@Advent Chaos is Selling his Wii, interested? Anyone?:

Four posts again before the "I deleted Home" posts begin.

I say Triumphant Veiny Bastards FTW!!

@CombatDispenser: I wish the 3d engine wasnt such a piece of shit. It's clearly PS2 code that was hastily ported. Now if they used the Uncharted 2 engine for Home...WOWZA! Would look 100 times better. Render in 1080p perhaps! HOOHAH.

@492b2 3b5t5k4mk3 3ñx39: As a mexican, I feel you mang. But the "cholitos" here in Arizona are just...well I don't like hating like this but they're plain retards, uneducated teens who get away with anything for looking tough and acting "funny"

I like this. They handle the Home-space in just the right way. More spaces like this and Home will be great.

And then the only argument left will be that they look like robots, or that these things should all have been there on release.

They'll also argue ur mom.

@Advent Chaos is Selling his Wii, interested? Anyone?:

In the name of the nation of Mexico, I am sorry for the cholos.

Fuck, i live in Mexico, we are full of them. But, hey they have also laughed at me for having long hair.

492b2 3b5t5k4mk3 3ñx39

Kinda like sprays in Valve games, then? Not suggesting that Sony ripped off the idea or anything (I'm sure Valve wasn't the first one to come up with this), just drawing a parallel.

@Advent Chaos is Selling his Wii, interested?...: good for you.

THEMISSING

For some reason, I thought of freerunning in Home with this article, revolving around inFamous and all.

I can only wish.

@Nick Richardson: MGO would be great. But Facebook? No.

nukee

@Monsignor: YES! For I can see the future! I can also see what's in your fridge! OOOH orange juice :3
No but seriously, I deleted Home because I never used it, that and my lack of patience trying to create an avatar that looks like me XD Also It takes up some pretty space, I have a bunch of videos so I was left with 4GB before deleting home.
@FWM: must be more responsible: Sometimes I feel like I am, for example: Did tacos cross your mind and thoughts recently?
@Handsome Al: Fun Fact: all the mexican "cholitos" in my high school would draw penises all over the skool, and they thought I was homosexual for having lengthy hair and a pink DS lite

Nice, creating your own graffiti. Nice.

Notorious B.O.Y. is perhaps the greatest thing I've ever seen or heard in my entire life. Major props.

Huh. Quite a cool idea actually.

@Advent Chaos is Selling his Wii, interested? Anyone?: Same thought came to my mind when I saw this. I'll take the high road and draw penile characters a la Superbad.

@Advent Chaos is Selling his Wii, interested? Anyone?: You deleted Home because of the possibility of penises all over the walls of a future Home space?

Monsignor

Hey! Maybe they'll allow use of the Playstation Wand to paint your own custom graffiti.

Also, is it sad that I still need to look up the spelling for graffiti?

@FWM: must be more responsible: man, my first sentence sounded better in my head. Wow. I gotta take a break.

I'll be sure to makes lots of references to The Warriors on that wall.

@Michael Dukakis the infuriated Mets fan: Well, that last I was. :(

I wish we could design our own clothing.

(changing the subject to feel like less of a dope)

Perhaps the most interesting addition, however, is the graffiti wall, where players gain access to various graffiti creation tools, allowing them to create new designs, share them with their friends, and have them voted on by the community for mad props.

That's nice.

Home's constantly growing and improving. I like it.

CombatDispenser

@FWM: must be more responsible: I was just joking :P

@Advent Chaos is Selling his Wii, interested? Anyone?: AHHH psychic!

@Michael Dukakis the infuriated Mets fan: You got those as part of a pre-order.

If you're not referencing the hobo clothes in the video, then... I don't know. Could be? Sony loves charging $.49 for little things like that.

It's a nice way to empty that wallet when you use PSN cards.

The grafitti wall idea looks great! Can't wait to try this out.

Let's get ready to see a bunch of penises all over the walls o:
And that's why I deleted Home about a month ago c:

Are they selling hobo cloths as a tie in?

I wonder how many people will make penises on the graffiti wall...

Unplugged

home really needs facebook and mgo support

Nick Richardson

Very nice.
