Sony opens teaser site for new PS3 game, 'dress' [Update]

by Andrew Yoon { Jun 18th 2008 at 10:35AM }

Your guess is as good as ours. Sony Computer Entertainment has opened a brand new teaser site for a title called dress. The only thing we know about it? The platform is PS3. We're assuming that this is a casual title, aimed at girls, in the vein of MyStylist on PSP. Or, it might be a super hardcore action game starring a fashionable girl whose looks can ... kill.

We're going to stick with our first guess.

Update: Thanks to a few of our more clever readers, details on dress have been re-discovered: "dress will take advantage of a unique avatar system that operates separately from the regular Home interface. Sony will be working with real-world fashion brands to provide your virtual avatar access to the latest fashions in Dress Town, which is supposed to recreate the feel of buying clothes in a real-world store."

Lars @ Jun 18th 2008 6:14PM

Replace California with Japan and you've got a true statement there.

Wasn't this what the clothing system was called for Home? Seems like I saw this before.

Lars @ Jun 18th 2008 6:15PM

Ah, lol, I just read the "Update"

I wonder if you can export your characters and send them to guys who will be playing the sequel, Undress.

Fiddlesworth @ Jun 18th 2008 10:47AM

It's a side app for home.

Andrew just got OWNED!!! +1 for Fiddlesworth.

Gaucho @ Jun 18th 2008 11:05AM

Andrew Yoon is right, Andrew Yoon got pwned! I think that because he did not know this (very conveniently forgot) it completely confirms that he is indeed a X3F douchebag. Sorry Majed, Nick, Jem . . . It's now up to you guys . . .

crazypenguin @ Jun 18th 2008 10:47AM

wait, this looks a lot like a HOME thing, or is that just my opinion, what was the new clothes place in HOME called anyway?

stargateheaven @ Jun 18th 2008 10:48AM

I thought we all know this was an app within HOME?

reson8er @ Jun 18th 2008 10:48AM

Its a pretty safe bet its in the vein of MyStylist, considering the mannequin head and the heart is a button (like on a shirt).

Looks interesting.

AF @ Jun 18th 2008 10:52AM

It says "Genre: Fashion Entertainment" so guess #1 seems right.

Martin Rasmussen @ Jun 18th 2008 11:09AM

Isnt this the app. we have heard of before available with Home??

Jerses @ Jun 18th 2008 12:13PM

i hope they work with victoria secret...i have a question for the home beta testers...can you walk in underware? or you have to choose a cloth?... if not... then screw home lol :P

kultyper @ Jun 18th 2008 12:24PM

Jferry953 @ Jun 18th 2008 12:30PM

zdogg @ Jun 18th 2008 12:51PM

"Sony will be working with real-world fashion brands to provide your virtual avatar access to the latest fashions in Dress Town, which is supposed to recreate the feel of buying clothes in a real-world store."

FABULOUS!

Twinturbo120 @ Jun 18th 2008 1:18PM

Popfrogs @ Jun 18th 2008 2:03PM

"which is supposed to recreate the feel of buying clothes in a real-world store"

Right, because anyone that has been shopping with their wife or girlfriend knows what an awesome experience that can be.

Good thing they canceled Eight Days and The Getaway because this Macy's simulator is going to be fabulous!

Volomon @ Jun 18th 2008 5:00PM

Clever readers? Maybe you should just take more time to research things first.

Lega-c @ Jun 18th 2008 2:53PM

Didnt Microsoft announce some Avatar thing like this just yesterday?

Pralaya @ Jun 18th 2008 3:35PM

ehm, please mates, just tell me:
do I need to pay with microtransations my clothes?

xIvSlowDeath420 @ Jun 18th 2008 7:51PM

This is a prime example of my main problem with this site,your gaming journalists and you needed someone to tell you this was part of Home.We knew this like half a year ago.Second is that joke of a podcast you pimp on this site,those guys aren't Playstation fanboys,fuckin one of them doesn't even own a PS3.Get your shit together and most importantly get a dam podcast,i've never heard "i don't know" more on any podcast in my life when it comes to basic PlayStation stuff,nm the info you can get by reading any decent website at least once a day.
