Sony boasts of big support for Home
A Sony Japan presentation has revealed a list of 24 publishers and developers that have been given licences to create content for PlayStation Home.
EA and Capcom have already revealed their plans for Home content. Other big publishing names on the list include Activision, Disney, SEGA, Konami, Namco Bandai and Ubisoft.
A number of independent Japanese developers - Q Entertainment, Nippon Ichi, and Game Republic - line up in the list alongside stalwarts of the Japanese game industry like Acquire, Atlus, Hudson and Tecmo.
There's nothing to say that these companies will definitely develop Home content, but acquiring a licence is some kind of statement of intent.
Here's the full list, as revealed by the presentation slide at Watch Impress:
Acquire
Activision
AQ Interactive
Atlus
Capcom
D3 Publisher
Disney Interactive
EA
Game Republic
Genki
Gungho
Hudson
Irem
Koei
Konami
Namco Bandai
Nippon Ichi
Paon
Q Entertainment
Sega
SNK Playmore
Spike
Tecmo
Ubisoft

If they create worthwhile original or even port up old stuff that would make Home infinitely better than the product that is currently on the market, but will this make the usa home? Japan has had the Namco Arcade since like 1 week before home was even released in the states and probably still isn't localized. I think by the time PS4 hits Home could be a worthwhile product to pay attention to, that is if they keep free to access it.
