Wow, wtf, MS think of your own stuff for once please.

*sigh*

I really hate it when MS does this, bums me out. Then again, it was deemed to happen sometime soon.

 

Edit: I'm glad it's not a straight rip-off though, that would really upset me.  Atleast this is different in it's own sorta way.

 

enjoying your "trophies"?

The idea of trophies is universal - a veriation of trophies exists in the PS2 R&C games, there you have skill points. It's true Sony added it after MS, but they didn't copy anything - it's too universal to be copied.

 

 

the concept itself... but not how its used.  Sony didnt add it out of nowhere without anything causing them to.  They could see it caused more games to sell, so they decided to implement their own version.

Yeah, you're right. They didn't add it out of nowhere, but they surely didn't add it because "it sells games". They implemented it because they listen to their community. Go to the official Playstaion forums or the Playstaion Blog, and you will see tons of posts from users complaining that they wanted in game XMB and "entitlements/accomplishments/trophies". It wasn't until then that they started working on the firmware to put it into PS3. In the meantime, they even toyed around, letting people know that they were listening (think back to E3 07 "IN SHIRT XMB")

 

 

 

And I wondered why they wanted achievements. By the way, it does sell games. I know people who buy really crap games just because it's easy to get achievements. Funny that. I personally think Achievements aprt from the motion controls is this gens best new addition. I get much more out of games because of it.
