SONY's Trash-talking continues, "Personally, looking at other models, a lot of them are too hardcore, a lot of them are garish in the way they look," Sony Home Creative Director Ron Festejo told GamesIndustry.biz. "I think what we've done with Home is have the best-looking multiplayer world - and actually the most user-friendly that I've seen as well. We don't have anything in there that's appealing to that kind of geeky audience that you might find in Second Life." Sony execs have tried to distance their upcoming console-based virtual world from Second Life, and Festejo continues to say there's no comparison, but he's willing to do plenty of contrasting. The main difference comes in hardware. While Festejo says that Second Life has to cater to everything down to Pentium II users (not true), Home only has to work on the high-end Playstation3. It's also worth noting that while Second Life is still being updated and changed, Home has been delayed and kept in private beta to fix up flaws before coming out into the light of day.
