Worried that game integration with Playstation Home will just be trophies, trailers and t-shirts? Well, so were we, actually. Luckily, Kotaku's learned some interesting details about the Home integration of Warhawk, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, and Resistance: Fall of Man. Turns out its way cooler than we thought.
Warhawk will reportedly allow up to eight players to meet in a "war room" prior to a match, mapping out strategies on "sand table" replicas of each level. Once they're ready to go, players can jump right into an online Warhawk match from the Home interface. A nice touch, indeed.
Resistance and Uncharted, meanwhile, will give Home users access to full unpopulated levels from the games, allowing players to casually walk through battlefields with their Home avatars. In addition to this killer feature, Resistance will allow players to explore unseen portions of the game, and locate radio transmissions that further explain the storyline. Uncharted will feature a Contra-style 2D shooter that launches from Home. Consider us floored. We can't wait to see these features in action.

As a Microsoft apologist and fan, I'm impressed and I'm thinking I may have to pick up the bundle with MSG 4.

Am I the only one who is not interested in wandering around the levels in Uncharted with some personal avatar?
Don't get me wrong. Uncharted was a fun game, but I'm not going to want to aimlessly walk around "ooh"ing and "aww"ing over the environment with some virtual create-a-character.

Wow great features.
It's amazing to see the amount of loser comments attempting to downplay such cool things.
Did some of you same hypocrites talk trash about the Halo 3 game playback feature?

For all the people that are calling everyone else a hater because they do not see this as something cool should really read EvilBit post.
When I first read the information I thought, hmm that sounds pretty good but then I start to think outside of first party devs why would anyone else do this unless paid to. All the features mentioned would be best implemented in-game instead of some 3rd party app that takes you away from the game. Devs are under enough pressure to actually finish a game so I do not see them wasting time with home when they could do the same things within their games and cut the middleman out.

sounds interesting....just wondering though....
...how long will it take to load Home or load a game through Home?
...what about games that suck? how come they didn't demo Lair with Home? or is this only going to be for the most popular games?
...it almost makes up for games being priced at $60.
...I probably won't spend much time at Home--sounds more like a gathering site for the young (sub-25 yrs of age)...

Yeah, but can you send pre-canned text messages like on the Wii? I think not!
