Play No Man’s Land Starting Today on PlayStation Home

No Man’s Land is a new free-to-play PlayStation®Home game that transports you to a post-apocalyptic America that has known only war for decades. Through this devastated wasteland, you must scavenge to survive while confronting tribes of heavily armed enemies focused on their own survival. Employing a cutting-edge cover point system and immersive gameplay, No Man’s Land is a first-of-its-kind on a console: a free-to-play multiplayer shooter.

We are proud to bring you this breakthrough Home experience. Comprised of industry veterans who have worked across a wide range of platforms and genres, VEEMEE saw a unique opportunity with PlayStation®Home to evolve gaming by blending the immersive gameplay endemic to AAA games with the social and “freemium” aspects of casual games. This is something that is only possible on PlayStation, with its free online network and vibrant community. No Man’s Land is a game that brings something new – and a bit different – to the Home platform.

No Man’s Land is a multiplayer third-person tactical shooter, featuring a cover-based movement system and 4v4 team battles. Following the completion of a tutorial session, the player is given an introductory loadout that allows access to the Drydock and the game. Armor and weapon upgrades can be purchased from the Commerce Points in a variety of combinations, which we plan to evolve in time.

PlayStation®Home Update - Horses of the Prairie

psn@sceh.sony.com.hk — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 09:01:57 GMT

A soft breeze stirs the long grasses. Sunlight dapples the dusty ground through the trees, their leaves red and gold. On the horizon, the rusted out hulk of an old steam train begs exploration and a snuffling sound in the grass outside the perimeter fence warrants further investigation. The only thing is, that fence is so far off. Walking there would take so long. If only…. Oh, wait!

Lockwood has temporarily left the dinosaur rearing and lion-taming behind, and gone for something a little simpler, but just as exciting – Horses of the Prairie! Including mustangs and ponies, plus something truly magical for the Gift Machine.

As a special bonus, horse owners (and Unicorn owners) get free reign in the Prairie public space! Explore the landscape, collect rewards, but best of all, let your horse cut loose and canter along those dusty trails. So mount up and get riding!

Were you a fan of Iron Fusions Envoy clothing released just before Christmas? Well let your friends join you by sending them an alternate version from the Gift Machine.
