First unveiled at CES this year, EA's upcoming Home Space looks to be the most fulfilling addition to PlayStation Home since its launch. Planned for a March release, EA Sports Complex will give PlayStation fans access to a rudimentary poker game, racing game and golf game -- all for free. The only price players will have to pay is some exposure to EA Sports advertisements that appear on the billboards and posters in the virtual world.
The early build at EA event last night showed the Space running at a lackluster framerate, something we hope will be fixed before release. The visuals were also rather lackluster, subpar to those found in other Home spaces (like the Uncharted or Far Cry spaces).
While the visuals aren't very compelling, the content more than makes up for it. One of the goals of the Sports Complex is to make it easy for everyone to play something. The long lines for other Home games won't be found here. The entire room was designed so that everyone will be able to play something. About 50 or so people can be in one instance of the Complex, and there are enough poker tables, race cars and golf spots to accommodate every single one of them.
