At Sony's GamesCom press conference the company announced updates for Playstation Home. One of those updates will, it turns out, be universal game launching.
In a nutshell, you won't be restricted to only launching games with built-in Home support. It's explained on PlayStation Blog that, "Titles that fully support game launching (like Street Fighter IV, Resistance 2, MotorStorm, and Far Cry 2) will be identified by separate icons that appear over an avatar’s head and will have varying degrees of additional multiplayer functionality built in.
"Simplified game launching will take you from Home to the start menu of your favorite games with ease. Never again will you have to sign out of Home to play with (or against) your friends. Simply insert the disc of your choice while in Home and follow the on screen directions and you’ll be good to go."
Other upgrades mentioned include portable objects (such as the previously-mentioned camera), previewing of shop items and a host of tweaks such as new emotes and poses. More on all of that through here.
