“Trophies move games†sounds so icky to me. Good games move games. I think a more immersive metaprogression would be fine. I always liked the idea in Metroid Prime 3 where the game you played showed up as stickers on Samus’s ship. I would rather have a dedicated app that shows an environment and that environment changes based on the games you play. Played Mario Wonder? You can now go interact with a wonder flower in a virtual world. Played Xenoblade X? Here’s a Skell to walk around in. |
That's a great idea; Nintendo won't do it though cause of the disaster the kii verse turned into, it's something I am still hoping the trophy system evolves into, I've been hoping PS would have revived a version of PS Home and done the same. Astrobot done it with the collectibles so I have to assume it's on their mind. Even if it's just a virtual trophy cabinet you can customise and show off assets earned from completing hard tasks in games. You can go after what you want and display what you want, of course with a write up to explain what's special about the asset or trophy and then just loads of furniture if it's a real space that you have to unlock in games.
However; this is asking a lot of devs but not everyone should be forced to opt in. They don't really need to do a PS home world either, just have the apartment, house if you're an extra member or a mansion if you're an premium member and you just TP from yours into someone else's, they don't have to be there but it'd be cool if a group chat could end up in one and interact with stuff and if those assets done particular stuff like music, lighting or something interactive like a pinball machine or the like.
Nintendo won't do this after the Mii verse I know that but Sony might. They just need to think small and n9t try and create some revolutionary life sim and hope for content. Just small asset content from games would be fine, skins for players and so on. It's a licensing and legal nightmare but it should be possible.
