PS3 Home has yet to be released, and it looks like there's already competition from none other than Atari.
Sony's Game 3.0 has been touted as community, user-generated content, collaboration and commerce. Atari's secret project, according to MCV, will allow "users to create their own gaming experiences."
Sound familiar?
“Let’s just say it will be PC to start with,” Atari Online Entertainment senior vice president Chris Bergstresser said, confirming it wouldn't be direct competition to PS3 Home...at first. “I can’t and I won’t speak for Europe but presumably if it is a success in the US then yes, it will be coming to Europe. We would quickly open it up to other territories."
“Phil Harrison had this big announcement of Game 3.0 and I think its great that he’s announced that because it will lend legitimacy to what we’re doing. But it goes further than that,” he continued. “We feel user generated content is not just something you just let people dabble in, we feel that it is something where you give people the tools to do whatever the hell they want."
