PlayStation Home returns with an unofficial project and for preservation purposes

Destination Home is a project driven by several programmers whose objective is to recover one of the relics of our recent past: PlayStation Home, the social platform that Sony premiered, and withdrew, in PlayStation 3.

Surely remember Home: A species of Second Life that I proposed to create an Avatar and use it to relate to other people in a virtual environment, with PS3 as a possibility of this experience protometaVérsica. Experience, which at the time was described as a game 3.0, premiered in 2008 and began to shut down at the end of 2014, until in March 2015 it definitively closed.

The Destination Home project wants to return PlayStation Home activity for educational reasons and preservation, they say their responsible. It is a non-profit project and in which they work, in their free time, several programmers and other technical profiles that try to recover the service and everything there was in it before it closed.

Donations are not accepted, they warn, at least monetary; If someone wants to help, it can donate PlayStation Home materials that you have on your PS3. The team explains how (and other ways to take a cable) in the following video:

Interestingly, it is not the only preservation project that wants to return to the PlayStation Home. Another group, phone, is also in it; This other group has also starred in the last days by being recovering the online modes of several PS3 games whose servers closed, such as War hawk or Twisted Metal Black.

As Destination Home, this other restoration project has no estimated date of publication or very strict plans, which is why the people who are behind dedicates only their free time. As it may, now that we all have the met averse in the mouth day yes, no, it makes sense that the interest in these primitive virtual social experiences returns.
