Lenny Jr. Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Eager-eyed gamers with good memories may well remember way back when, before the PS3 hit the shelves, Sony announced that it would be borrowing Microsoftâs successful âAchievementâ system of rewarding in-game triumphs. Quicker than the time it took Phil Harrison to throw a thesaurus at the head of a Sony R&D employee, the âAccomplishmentâ was born.Unlike Microsoftâs mysteriously rewarding achievement system that essentially amounts to nothing more an arbitrary number for your friends to gawk at, Sonyâs accomplishments reward players with 3D trophies that they can display in specific rooms in the forthcoming Home application. In theory this is a fantastic idea, and is certainly a good excuse to invite your friends over to visit your home for a bit of gloating, providing a wonderful museum-like display of all your in-game victories. Capcomâs Devil May Cry 4 is the first game that appears to have integrated this into the PS3 architecture, popping up whenever said achievement, sorry, accomplishment, is unlocked in a similar way to the saving system.At this stage (before Home is actually available) these accomplishments are largely useless, though within the next six months or so when it finally goes live, we can all look forward to perusing shelves full of little Dante, Trish and Lady statues. It seems a shame that practically all of the 200-odd games that are already available for the machine will not carry this feature. The achievement/accomplishment list for both 360 and PS3 versions are identical, so decisions on multi-format purchases are now that little bit tougher to make â 3D models or 1000 gamer points?R.H.CeX Towers-----------------------------------Does anyone know when "HOME" will be launched?

JJ Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Home will make or break the console war.If Sony do it right and release it in the next 8 months before user interest dies, they (we) will win... but they MUST do it right.When it comes it must all be there, along with ingame xmb, it must all be there.

This is the first of a trilogy of games apparently.Why does the ps3 version have them flags? On xbox we get achievements for collecting them, maybe the inclusion is a sign of an update for this coming achievement system on the ps3. Or they were lazy and thought "f*ck it, leave it in".
