PS3 Fanboy

Sorry, Gamer Scores are so 360. Trophies to display in Home should be enough. Just deliver on some exclusives, keep online free and give me some 2.00 firmware and I'll be happy, Sony.

I don't like the whole Gamerscore or even trophy idea.

Gamerscores keep people playing games that are not fun just for points.

They obviously won't be called Gamer Scores, and they probably will have different/other functionalities as well.

As for everything that's been announced, can't wait! (I hope Sony doesn't make me wait... :|)

I have an idea if Sony does implement trophies. Lets say you beat Lair you can gain access to the Lair Lounge in Home. Still don't like the idea but that would be cool.

I think Achievements are a good thing for games so trophies have potential I see achievements like merit badges you get them for doing something and it can add game play via challenges that you might not normally do. These challenges vary in difficulty but since there is a challenge it give you a goal to achieve pushing the game past oh I already beat it much like fighting for High score can be but more accessible.

That said I would like to see Sony do a score/rating system like gamer-score but if they wanted to be different make it a true gamer score so base the value on how many people have attained a trophy(I personally feel the MS Gamerscore is too easy to pad with games like King Kong and TMNT). And offer special trophies that can only be obtained at special promotional contest tournaments etc. It would be cool to log on and have a challenge to reach so many points in super stardust hd withing a time limit and win a trophy for your participation maybe even special trophies for the top scores.

Quicky: MGS4 confirmed exclusive (again) by Phil in that interview.

The trophies will be meaningless if you can just download a save file and collect your prize.

Of course nobody likes the gamerscore or achievements. Had it been on the PS3 first, they would be the next best thing since sliced bread. Sad. Sad.

Every time I see a picture of Phil, I think it is Billy Corgan for a sec.

Its good that Sony arent having a point based system, because that sort of makes playing games tun into a chore to get more points.

Just look at XBL and how many people play horrible games just to get points

A retarded interview from question one. The first question the interviewer asks is "what are the impressions from your speech?". That's like me telling you a story, then you ask me, "so, how did you like the story?".

Also a few questions down, Harrison says that Motorstorm has a ton of downloadable content. O RLY? Where? We got a time attack update and a bug fix.

This is my favorite exchange between the two and pretty much sums it up:

"GI: But $500 is still quite a bit of money.

Harrison: The PS3 is quite a bit of machine. There’s a lot you get for your money. People were camping out in the streets to buy a $500 phone. "

I know people who have Xbox 360's and hate the gamer score/achievements system. I am not just saying this because I have a PS3 its my honest opinion.

There are people who don't like Home that have a PS3 and people that don't like Halo that have a 360. Just because you are drawn to different products doesn't mean you have to follow that product blindly.
