Next Xbox to carry over Achievements?

Tuesday 13-May-2008 11:59 AM New system tipped to be out in 2010 says rumour

A couple of rumours have appeared in the latest issue of US mag Game Informer about Microsoft's future plans for the next Xbox. And there's some good news for Achievement fanboys if this particular rumour does turn out to be true.

Of course we won't know if it's true for a few years yet, it's not like MS would confirm the stories. But those Xbox 360 gamers who pride themselves in having a MASSIVE gamerscore over a car, mortgage, family and cat, should know that all their hard work might not be for nothing.

Yes, as funny as that sounds, Game Informer's rumour section says that MS will have your achievements carry over.

File this one under 'rumour' for the time being but there are at least seven people in the office who said 'awesome' when we told them.

I have no doubts they'll continue achievements on the next Xbox, and most likely expanding the system somehow. Possibly something to compete with Home's trophies

I think that was coming anyway, since some will prefer getting games for 360 for achievements. I would be really hard for MS to just turn it off.

Also DM, I don't think MS will be in competition with Sony about Achievements Vs Trophies. Maybe they will expand it with something over time but competing over this thing is just ridicules :hmmm: . :argue:

This is pretty damn good news if its' true. I am totally looking forward to the new system by 2010. I can't even imagine how powerful that machine will be. Full 1080p games probably @ 60fps and games will look sick. For those with less money I guess you could get a 720p version of the game for Xbox 360 which should cost at around $100-$150 by then. Achievements transferring would top it all as a sign that new Xbox will sync with Xbox 360. That's great news.

It seems logical that they would carry the achievements over. Why wouldn't they? They'll still tie it into the user's Live account, and the account has the data, so... yeah :)

In my opinion - it shouldnt add to the gamerscore of the future xbox

But people should be able to see your gamerscore from the X360

I don't think they have to worry too much about that right now as the only one competing is Sony because they don't even have their system up yet. :p

Why :huh: cause your sucks. :laugh: Just kidding :laugh:

i think thats pretty cool, imagine in 2012 checking your achievements for games you completed on 2006, it would bring back good memories :)

So everyone gets a fresh start on the future xbox

- then newcomers wont be terribly behind in scores..

Also, I doubt the gamerscore system will remain the same in the future..

It's not a contest though. Your GS is a representation of the games you've played, and what you've tried to do in those games. It shouldn't discriminate between Xbox 360 games and Xbox 720 games (especially considering half of all games these days are sequels anyways, so why would you make that distinction).

+1 (Y) I see no other way around it. It has to evolve and grow beyond what it is, but at the same time, it cannot forgo its history.

Completely agree here, Achievements were a big win for Microsoft on the 360. Sony is trying to copy them with trophies, but it's not quite ideal as it's something that has appeared half way through the PS3's lifecycle (ok not exactly half, but you know what I mean). New console means new possibilities, possibilities that will be implemented from the get-go.

[Ayepecks]

I really don't expect anything less. If they didn't, I'd be kinda mad.

[GuJu]

Achievements are worthless.

[killmaster84]

I say a new start, but your gamertag shows what you had on the 360.

[Shreik]

Achievements are worthless.

Yes, but very addictive IMO

I really hope they make a seperate score for the new xbox so it won't be mixed, but I still hope the old score will be appearing on xbox.com or on your new Xbox dashboard.

But generally my opinion is:

New Xbox - New Score

Well having 2 different score system doesn't make any sense. Of course they can make the system so that people can decide them self, one can choose to show both scores (360 and Next Xbox) and just 360 or just Next Xbox.

They have to make it that way so people can sort score by genre, system, scores etc.
