omg, duudes check this out!!! What SONY has instored for us!!

PSN boss Eric Lempel acknowledges the importance of an achievement system - something for which Xbox 360 is heavily praised - but says Sony has plans that "go well beyond a single score."

We already know that Sony's long-awaited PS3 Home application (that virtual world app that seems to be taking forever to arrive) will have a trophy system that will reward gamers for in-game achievements with trophies for their Home space. But Sony has more up its sleeve.

"I recognize that there are a few features that PS3 users have asked for that we haven't delivered yet," admitted Lempel.

"We have a lot of features in different stages of development that I think our users will be very excited about," he said in an interview with Next Generation.

"I know that an achievement system is very important to our consumers. With Home, and in addition to Home, we have some very exciting programs planned to recognize our consumers' gaming skills and loyalty in new ways that go well beyond a single score."

That sounds exciting. It would be brilliant if you got, say, money credited to your PSN account for finishing games - you know, a real-life reward. That'd get you playing.

Lempel did not disclose any further details, but Sony CEO Howard Stringer has promised, "2008 will be a big year in many ways for PlayStation Network."

WOW!!! i hope what he says is true, money credited to our psn accounts..

Lol, Anyone remember HipHopGamer's words? Remember how he said according to a source, Sony was implementing some sort of reward system based on trophies were if you gain a certain amount of trophies you might unlock a new area in HOME or gain some DLC for free or sumthing like that? Remember how we all laughed and called BS and claimed other sites would have reported this news already? yeah, well I want to say that so far HipHopGamer has been owning this entire board since everything he has predicted has so far been confirmed, lets go down the checklist:

GoW3 graphics are insane, might be teaser trailer quality - check!

Full trophy support starting Jan 2009 - check!

Trophy reward system - check!

PS3 price cut $399 model will be 160gb and $299 model will be 80gb - check! (sony denies, but other sources say it)

I think this guy is on a roll!

Now we just need to hear about Mass Effect on PS3 and GTA5 being PS3 exclusive (doubt that one :P )

Atari didn't have points but rewarded you with cloth patches for getting high scores for games played on the Atari. This is still an achievment system, obviously it's different because of the lack of technology back then but still the same concept.

In some ways, yes actually. Obviously technology has advanced since then but they still use alot of the same ideas.

Wow the amount of facepalm in this thread is awesome! I'm with you st1ka.

Sony probably would have not implemented the trophy system if it weren't for the success of the xbox 360 achievement system. They saw how popular it was and was like "Oh our consumers would probably enjoy it too, so lets use it!" They copied Microsoft by putting it in their system after seeing its success. I can't believe that there is a discussion over this.

Oh and I laugh at the TC for saying they will give you money back to your PSN account.

Last thing, MS also ran a contest with achievement points so saying they don't give back is ridiculous.

Ummm no he didn't...

"I know that an achievement system is very important to our consumers. With Home, and in addition to Home, we have some very exciting programs planned to recognize our consumers' gaming skills and loyalty in new ways that go well beyond a single score."

That sounds exciting. It would be brilliant if you got, say, money credited to your PSN account for finishing games - you know, a real-life reward. That'd get you playing.

Lempel did not disclose any further details, but Sony CEO Howard Stringer has promised, "2008 will be a big year in many ways for PlayStation Network."

To make it easier I color coded it, in green is what Eric Lempel said, in red is what Mike Jackson said(the guy who made the article)

Why can't it just be that companies look at the 360 as a profit and don't see them making any money solely on making games exclusively to the PS3? And where is your proof of MS paying sites to give lower scores to PS3 games and stealing exclusives(Which were on Xbox and Nintendo consoles last gen.)?sargentbotk

  watch this

check it out at 3:04 "sony does anything it can to round up third party developers to support the playstation and is able to assigne 250 companies in japan alone"

the Playstation one was launched in japan in December 4 1994, Virtua fighter (the reason as to why third party developers started focusing on 3D as the documentary says) was was launched in November 1993 care to explain how does one company with no experience in gaming what-so-ever manages to convince 250 gaming companies to produce games for a market which was thougt to be over saturaded at the time? remember: there was sega, nintendo, 3DO, the Jaguar, Pippin, all of them were either already out or nearing their launch dates and thats not even mentioning the handheld markets

[ duude lol chill :P stop defending ur xbox like crazy man..kar008

lol? your the one who goes around spreading false information :?

IIRC MS had something to reward Gamerpoints sometime ago, I'm not sure what happened to it.

it is a competition between microsoft and sony, they will do whatever it needs to sell their consoles more, and btw microsoft is no saint company, it pays all sites to give lower scores to ps3 games and steals our exclusives like ff13 and gta by using its money power.

ps3 will always be the best.

Yes, because it couldn't be the fact those PS3 games didn't deserve a higher score, It had to be evil M$ paying all sites off. they also faked the Moon Landing, killed JFK. Bombed Pearl Harbor, and covering up Aliens and Big Foot. :roll:

That is called business. It isn't stealing, it is still on the PS3, just also on the 360.

For anyone thinking they will give credited back to PSN then, like I really care who said it anyway. With all the ridiculous claims in this thread from people, it was hard to keep everything straight.

Ummm no he didn't...

"I know that an achievement system is very important to our consumers. With Home, and in addition to Home, we have some very exciting programs planned to recognize our consumers' gaming skills and loyalty in new ways that go well beyond a single score."

That sounds exciting. It would be brilliant if you got, say, money credited to your PSN account for finishing games - you know, a real-life reward. That'd get you playing.

Lempel did not disclose any further details, but Sony CEO Howard Stringer has promised, "2008 will be a big year in many ways for PlayStation Network."

To make it easier I color coded it, in green is what Eric Lempel said, in red is what Mike Jackson said(the guy who made the article)

[QUOTE="sargentbotk"] Why can't it just be that companies look at the 360 as a profit and don't see them making any money solely on making games exclusively to the PS3? And where is your proof of MS paying sites to give lower scores to PS3 games and stealing exclusives(Which were on Xbox and Nintendo consoles last gen.)?st1ka

duude it says video no longer availablekar008

huh... not it doesn't

Atari didn't have points but rewarded you with cloth patches for getting high scores for games played on the Atari. This is still an achievment system, obviously it's different because of the lack of technology back then but still the same concept.

ps3 will always be the best.
