Seriously cool: Audi's Home space

Audi brings WipEout-style racing to PS Home
Home spaces that introduce actual new gameplay are always the best ones, although it usually amounts to a few simple mini games. Not Audi's space.

As you will see in the video below, Audi's new space, launching on December 17, will let you blast around a futuristic road among the skyscrapers of an urban backdrop in Audi's electric sports car, the E-tron. It's called Virtual Run, and it's six-player, too.

This stuff's free, people. Can't complain. Take a look:

A free advert is all it amounts to, and a waste of consumers time, which is a lot more valuable, than to spend it on Home.

Looks no better than that Toyota Yaris pish on XBLA

Tedious advertising hidden behind a very thin gaming veil. Rolling Eyes
What a waste of time, time that could be used playing actual games (like the real wipeout).

...Actually, this is also time that could be spent playing real games Shocked
bye....have a nice weekend everybody!

Agree with Arsian. Its free and looks amazing.
Will be nothing more than a bit of fun.
You don't have to play it, pay for it or even look at it, if u choose not to.
Hope to see more of the same...

If you can't see this as a cheap advertisement stunt, then you fail at all common sense. Any business would do something like this, its just free advertisement and in a sense, Subliminal messaging, when you are in a environment for so long, you kind of pick up on what you are in.

Stay in that Audi game for a lengthy period of time, and you'll want to check out the car online for instance.

Audi have however failed to realize that they are aiming at a young audience, and probably wont ever get a car.

Don't call people inbreeds, it may be the internet but it doesn't give you a right to insult people you don't know Wink

If Home was a whole city/world rather than just 'spaces' (a bit like SecondLife or any other MMO for that matter), and that was a means of transport to get around the place then that would be cool Very Happy

Yes, too bad it comes out the same day as the GT5 demo for GT Academy qualification.

I know which one I'll be playing...

If you think this is subliminal messaging then you clearly have no common sense.
Firstly, it's quite clearly not subliminal- you can very clearly see that it's audi and is made by audi and is encouraging you to buy audis and secondly it has been proven that subliminal messaging doesn't work:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subliminal_message

"the concept became controversial as subliminal messages in 1957 when marketing practitioners claimed its potential persuasive use. Subsequent scientific research, however, were unable replicate most of these marketing claims beyond a placebo."

Home is f**king s**t, its a massive waste of time, money and resources.

I honestly, HONESTLY, thought it was going to be interesting, but I'm sick and tired of being raped by faceless spectres every single time I log on.
