PS3 Home - Poker

Yep, you read that right. We have been busy producing a Poker table here at work. Well not a real poker table as we are developers and not carpenters. However this new game is a lot of fun. I am sure most everyone know what poker is and how much fun it can be to play with friends. well that is what we have made.

I got to take part along with a lot of my workmates in a big playtest and videoing session yesterday afternoon. It was to work on some video for the promo of the poker table as well as do some serious testing. What a great way to spend the afternoon. All dolled up like pretty girl (which i most certainly cannot pretend i am in real life!) for the video shoot, and then i got to do some great poker playing.

It was all going really well till my 2 pair were taken by a flush that dropped on the 4th card, ARGH! I hate that Mike guy!. The whole office (or most of it) got to take part and it was a real break from all the work we have been doing lately. A real respite. It is also really nice to actually just play ya own stuff and enjoy it.

Needless to say, Brimstone poker will be out at the beginning of September barring any issues with the full test cycle. I have a picture of us in the Neptune suite playing.
That is me on the far table on the near left seat. YAY!

I think everyone will like this item. I have no idea how much it will cost, but it is a piece of scripted furniture. So it gets placed in your personal spaces. (up to two of them, gasp!)

Laters all

  3. Will this support voice chat? This needs to be a priority. No one wants to play poker in silence.

  4. Hi Rojen3400,

    Voice chat work for people in their personal spaces, so it will work. what we have done is stay away from the R2 button in the game. that should allow the game to be played while chatting at the same time.

    Great question.

    ps. Birdy32 - We just got our Pegi ratings through, so it seems like it should be more likely a simultaneous release, but i am not holding my breath.

  10. hi everyone,

    Well there will not be any stats tracking. As unfortunately i am not sure what they would track for personal space games. Too open to cheating i suspect etc.

  12. Thanks BigRon3400, i will pas on your thanks to the team, they will appreciate it. Home stuff does not get a lot of love at present. Hopefully one bit at a time we can change that.

    I hope we can live up to the bar height comment, that is indeed high praise.

    I sincerely hope you continue to enjoy our products. We do try to make them fun and worth owning.
