EA Sports Support for PlayStation Home

Sony's game director for Home, Peter Edwards, has recently explained to Develop that PlayStation Home was announced 'too early'. He points out that at GDC in 2007 there was excitement over the concept, but that "I think there was sort of recognition amongst developers of ‘Oh, this is interesting, but there’s still a lot of work to be done'".

Well, now EA Sports - headed-up by former Microsoft man Peter Moore - has committed something of itself to the Sony project with the EA Sports Complex, "...which is currently in development and is slated to launch this Spring".

Interestingly, the word from EA is that support is for the PlayStation Home Beta, rather than an across the board support for a full-blow Home. We've got the trailer at the bottom of this story.

Peter Moore is quoted as stating that the complex has wider implications for his company as it represents, "...part of our continued commitment to the connected experience and the digitization of our business..."

As for the complex itself, it is "designed for both casual and hardcore gamers. Gamers will be able to play exclusive new EA Sports multiplayer games, meet and interact with EA Sports fans, view daily, weekly and annual leaderboards to see how they compare against the rest of EA Sports Nation, as well as watch trailers and other content from some of their favourite EA Sports games."
