PS3 Trophies coming in June?

Sony fact sheet sparks release rumours for XBL Achievement-like trophies

New rumours about PlayStation 3 Achievements are flying around, with one site speculating that a trophy system will launch as early as next month.

According to this PSU report, 2D trophies located on the PS3's XMB may launch this June with firmware version 2.4 (which should also introduce in-game XMB access). These trophies are reportedly different to the 3D ones set to feature in Home later this year.

Another report over on ...

Yus, interesting isn't it.

There's also some reports somewhere that it is going to be released along side MGS4.

Let me find it.

More FW 2.4 Rumors: Konami Pushing Sony for Trophy Support?

From reading my site, you know that I have some friends in the industry.

What I have been told is that Konami is heavily pushing Sony to hurry up and get 2D trophies, and in game communication, ready in time for the release of MGS4.

MGS4 is all ready to be released so what could Konami have up their sleeve big enough to persuade Sony to getting going, and release those features?

Here is a hint at what might be able to push Sony to move a little faster.

[Ocelot's voice]

Yes.

We just finished the press conference.

Yes.

Everything went according to plan.

Yes.

We?re entering into the last phase of the mission.

Do you want to execute the launch-day surprise?

Yes, that?s right.

Akihabara, New York, L.A?.

Live, simultaneously throughout the world?.

Yes, it?s under control.

The VIPs are happy to participate.

Yeah, that?s right.

That person.

Yes, sir, understood.

So on June 12th?

By the way, what should we do about ?The Project??

Yes, that?s correct.

That man has fallen.

It?s about the sequel.

Yes, indeed.

Yes.

Yes.

Yeah.

I see.

Yes, sir.

Mr. CEO.

I hope its true, lol.

This speculation game is nice and all, but we really need to get Home out... and soon.

[Narc2500]

"I don't think so." :shiftyninja:

[Dc'1]

I hope so, more about ingame XMB though lol.

[PiracyX]

Too little too late to be honest.

Too little too late to be honest.

It's late yes, but it can never be too late in my opinion, having an achievement system on the Playstation 3 is a welcome addition.

Too late for who? you. Is it to late because the 360 has achievements already? Quit the ps3 hatin the ps3 just keeps getting better an better and thats all you need to worry about.

Couldn't have said it better.

Although I would welcome these trophies even if in 2D just now - At least it's behind the scenes progress materializing into something physical for us, rather than just "we're working on it, it's coming soon".

Also the big PS3 exclusives are crying out for the first games to get trophies/content in Home - It's no surprise if true, that Konami are pushing Sony to support MGS4 in every way possible for release.

Too little too late to be honest.

Why?

This could also be utter crap, but I'm still hoping its true.

Insider: Exclusive information about 2.40 and beyond

Hey its me, whoelse again! Before I start, I need to say one thing. All of the following information has come from an insider I am in contact with and everything isn?t ?set in stone?. Things can change a lot, especially when it involves Sony. If any of the information is wrong, its because plans have changed and not because it was made up.

2.40 should include:

* Access your XMB chat features from any game.

* 2D trophies from the XMB where 70% of current titles will support them straight away

* Video Coding and groundwork for the Movie Store (Out Sept)

My insider says 2.40 should arrive before MGS4 comes out however not all of the above features will 100% make it into the update.

Oh and Online Co-op for Super Stardust HD is in the works.
