To start, I'll say that yes XBOX360 has Achievements. So let's not bring that up, because that's not what this topic is about.
Now, I'd like the share/discuss games that have Trophies. There's hardly any information about them about the internet, because you pretty much need to know someone who has a game with Trophies to see the Trophy list!
Games that I know have Trophies thus far:
-Super Stardust HD
-Pixel Junk Eden
-Drake's Fortune
-BUZZ! Quiz TV
Anyone have anything to add? I'll write out a comprehensive list when I get home tonight. Just wanted to raise the issue for now.
-
Are these trophies just used in Home or what?
ps: do you have your PC back
-
Xbox360 have had Achievements since launch.. Kidding.
I had the 2.4.. whatever before I sold it but I wasn't able to get any trophys. Do they give you anything or just kinda their right now?
-
I've only played Soulcalibur IV and Tekken 5 DR since this patch, but.. No trophies yet.
Would be nice if Sony had a list of games or what sort of trophies we could expect to see.
-
I think GTA4 has trophies as well.
PS3 is coming out with an interactive playstation home that is kinda like the sims where you walk around a massive multiplayer world and have your own house with posters on the wall from games you have played and trophies and stuff. I think it comes out next year so I'm sure they are going to improve on the whole trophies thing quite soon.
-
Pfft Home should have been out ages ago.. Delays are a bitch. But it is a good idea though.
-
As far as I'm concerned I couldn't give a shit about trophies. When there were achievements on the 360 I actually got annoyed because the little window popped up and pissed me off with it's ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED! Blocking part of the screen!
If they write good PS2 emulation for my model of PS3 (I have just bought a PS2 slim to compensate for the lack of) then I will probably turn the goddam thing on more often.
As for PS3 Home. Great. Habbo hotel goes Hi-Def. Just what I wanted. No wait. If I got that FREE IN MY CEREAL I would still think it was shit.
Man I am turning into one of HL's hardcore gamers.
-
Man the achievement unlocked thing isn't that big, and usually (not always but A LOT OF THE TIME) you only get them at the end of a level or game or whatever, so they aren't interrupting shit.
I don't have a PS3 so this specific topic doesn't really affect me, but I always loved achievements for the 360 because it pumps a little more life into games by giving you more goals. Katamari was an awesome example of this, because normally you don't care so much how big you make things until you are actually being challenged to do it. Also with the board games on Xbox Live (Catan, Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne, etc.) it makes you feel like you're working towards something besides just BEAT YOUR OPPONENT OKAY PLAY ANOTHER ONE AND WIN AGAIN. It challenges you to continuously make the longest road or win by so many points or something. It just gives you more shit to do, when is that a bad thing?

Er.. ?
I don't know what is wrong with your PS3, but mine has wonderful PS1 and PS2 emulation.
-
Some models don't have emulation of PS2 games UPRC.
-
Yeah, certain PS3's can't play previous PS games. I think 40 gig can't, but models above can.
-
Haha, you're serious? I didn't know that.
crumply, man, instead of complaining about your PS3's emulation, you should have just bought one that can do it no problem if you wanted that feature.
-
Depending on where you live only the 40 gig is available and price can be a problem as well man.
-
I'd say if you're willing and able to buy a PS2 to compensate like he did, he probably could have gotten a PS3 that would emulate properly.

I laughed pretty hard at your post, you are complaining about an extremely small portion of the screen saying "you unlocked something congrats', how could that bother you unless you are playing on a psp screen or something.
and the emulation, yeah, if you can buy a ps2 just to get ps2 games why didnt you just buy a fucking better model ps3?
as for your "lol habbo hotel goes hi-def guys i made a joke" you are just complaining about something that I am pretty sure you don't have to pay for(? not sure about this, but isnt it just extra stuff in your home/apartment/whatever that you pay for?)
and hey if there is social interaction that would make it even more shit right crumply??? yeah sounds 'bout right hXc gamers dont need other people
you are not "one of HL's hardcore gamer" you just complain as much as darknecrid
but yeah, I am still deciding between a 360 and a ps3 to get as my "next-gen" console(i have a wii but that doesnt count(seriously it sucks so much.....)) and I guess if more information comes out..about this...it could tip my hand...

I’ve become a trophy whore and Bought. Uncharted just because it has trophy. Yes I knew the game was a good by The demo but I never sought to buy it after the demo but then the trophy shown up and motivated me to get this game .Also I’m aiming for platinum I will look at every nook and cranny to get the prestigious platinum trophy.
Also Your list is right and is up to date

Edit:UPRC Add me or give me your PS3 name I'll play you in SC4 but right now I need to go to work.

Saddo.

They don't sell them in the UK. In Europe we get such a bad deal from Sony - they cut a load of shit out and then charged us more than you fat asses!

If I want to socialise I will go out with my IRL friends???
a PS3 that would emulate properly.
:sad: There is no such thing - Especially in Europe.
If you wanna have a go at me for stating my opinion have a look here first - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3
Also, http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/games/archives/2007/02/23/ps3_final_spec_europeans_suffer_ps2_compatibility_farce.html
The next question is why did you buy a PS3 in the first place ed!!? The future for PS3 looks pretty damn sweet. I cannot wait to get my hands on Little Big Planet.

Yeah i got my 60gig ps3 at £400.00 a few months after it came out, which was a couple of weeks before they stopped selling them... But ive heard you can still buy them from ebay and stuff if you interested. A friend of mine was saying to me how our 60gigs are worth more than what we paid for it since they dont sell em anymore.... no idea if thats true or not.
You guys over in the states having the same prob?
P.S im from the UK

hey cool because the internet doesnt let me talk to people around the world
computers are just for word processing xD!

A lot to be said, it seems.
Yeah, so as far as I know the Trophy system is mostly for show and tell. In Playstation Home you'll be able to go to / bring people to your Trophy room that has a showcase of all your little Trophies. It's just a little entertaining bragging rights feature, much like your personalised house. Also, they made it so that your PS3 Username / PSN account /whatever you want to label it as, levels up. You get levels by unlocking X amount of trophies (I'm level 2. :P)
Some of the Trophies are hard, some are moderate, but I have yet to find any that are blatantly easy. With Pixel Junk Eden (a game that initially frustrated the frack out of me, and is now damn addictive and simple) has ones for unlocking all the Seeds in a level (longstoryshort), or seemingly impossible things like unlocking all Seeds with 0 pollen wasted. How the HELL.
In Super Stardust HD, they're a lot of moderate and a lot of nigh impossible ones. First you have your level completion trophies, then you have you bomb hoarding trophies, and then you have your... Survive 45 seconds without firing a gun, as hundreds of asteroids and enemies swarm around you in a sesspool of hell.
Then we have Drake's Fortune. I only glanced through the list really, but it seems that you could easily obtain all of them with a little extra work and a good walkthrough (finding all the treasures etc)
As to the bit you guys are talking about with the 40 gig, it makes me a sad panda. Man, you saved 100 bucks, but you lost... so much. Besides the PS2 emulator / built-in, you lost 2 USB ports, and I believe (correct me if wrong) all of your memory stick and excessory ports. It's 100 bucks less for a stripped down hunk of small memory.
Ah well.
Lastly, DDay, are you beating me now? How many Trophies did you unlock through Drake's Fortune???
ps: do you have your PC back
Not yet. :(

Right now 34 almost got to LV3 also the only hard part about Drake's Fortune is I'm going to have to Beat the game 4 times.
-
Geez, without Drake's Fortune, you and Impeal have me BEAT. I've gotta get on this, man!
-
Also BUZZ! Quiz TV Has Trophies but right now it not available in the USA till the end of this month so EU and AU have it.
-
I'd rather not have achievements/trophies for anything unimportant, keep them for the important stuff like getting the hidden super weapon or beating the game (and not beating it multiple times unless there are multiple endings).
My friend at work thinks trophies should only be in blockbusters. lol
He thinks Sony should have released a patch for older games to have trophies... then I slapped him with technology logic.

Warhawk gots them now.
