PlayStation Home - Unreleased Space Showcase (Pre-Hub)
7This is actually a concept space for the space we now know as The Hub, which makes it even better than just an unreleased space! The background behind this space's development can be found in its scene descriptor file:
"Early Proposal for the PlayStation Hub:
This conceptual space was among the initial blockout designs envisioned for the PlayStation Hub, predating the final SCEA Hub spaces familiar to Home visitors. Inspired by the vibrant energy of New York City, it aimed to replicate the essence of a bustling city block filled with constant new updates. Features included.
Themed Facades:
The heart of this space lay in its four distinct facades, each representing a different theme. These facades would dynamically change based on marketing initiatives, enticing players to explore related areas. Whether it was the futuristic tech district or the whimsical fantasy alley, the facades beckoned with their unique charm.
Central Hub:
At its core, the space housed a central hub—a bustling plaza where player stats, events, Home News, and marketing updates converged. Imagine a digital town square, constantly buzzing with activity. Here, players could catch up on the latest happenings, track their achievements, and plan their next adventures.
Emphasis on Renewal and Vitality:
The design prioritized freshness. Regular updates and thematic shifts ensured that players always encountered something new. Whether it was a seasonal makeover, an exclusive event, or a surprise announcement, the space remained dynamic and engaging.
Design Dilemmas and Decisions:
While the concept resonated with many, not everyone was on board. Executives and the principal design department leaned toward a sleek, architecturally modern aesthetic for Sony Home. The idea of ever-changing facades, complete with vivid skies and playful themes, clashed with their vision of realism. Ultimately, this clash of creative philosophies led to the proposal being set aside."
The music was added in post since it's dead silent.
