Hard to confirm the in game xmb but the accomplishments looks very legit. Expect a ps3 update this week. Sony can't make us wait any longer. But damn with this internet age its impossible to be surprised. Rumours are always breaking out.

decapitator5929d ago (Edited 5929d ago )

@sonarus
Who r u talkin to? Hey this is good news, but it COULD be fake good news.....by the way, look at who posted these pics in the link. That "sonyguy32" just joined that forum site TODAY & just happened to post it in deep internet terratory if u know what i mean. I just hope that its true, but I still believe its fake.

MrTeenie5929d ago

Thanks for posting the photobucket links our site is probably going to get suspended since we are on shared server and we will be using it all up very soon.

sonarus5929d ago (Edited 5929d ago )

hahaha dnt be such a hater man. Let us ps3 owners enjoy our good news in peace. From your user bio (Bad Sony news is still news.) its obvious bad sony news is your specialty. So why don't you keep looking for that bad sony news that you love so much its hard to find these days i know but stay determined and i am sure you will pick up something

@decApitator is that for real? Where did you get em

games4fun5929d ago (Edited 5929d ago )

since i am not a contributer i think this has some validity, although i personally dislike joystiq they did come across a telling tshirt at GDC
TODAY

the playstation blogger tshirt

http://www.joystiq.com/phot...

(joystiq got those photos off of flikr website sorry for the misinfo)

toughNAME5929d ago

Bad Sony news is my specialty?

Your reaching man, I think your getting a little too excited.

If this its true that the last horse finally crossed the finish line, them I'm happy for PS3 owners because I feel Next Gen isn't Next Gen without achievements/in game XMB.

While I highly doubt these screenshots are real, Sony will get it right eventually.

I can't tell you how much achievements can better a game. If you've never experienced them you'll think I'm crazy. Just trust me.

decapitator5929d ago

Thats real alright, that is from the official US blog picture site:

games4fun5929d ago

because i was thinking how did joystiq get it so quickly then you show me that and it shows how they are just ponying off of the website thanks

xplosneer5929d ago (Edited 5929d ago )

click Today's Stories(All) and scroll down to "Sony gets a sense of Humor"

@Decapitator: I don't see the shirt you posted before there. Weird?

The blog.us.playstation one looks VERY FAMILIAR.

C_SoL5929d ago

Exactly. Their blurry like the photos shown here. For all we know, it could be the same guy. People can make these photos u know. I'm just glad it got me hyped up for a bit until i had my doubts.

gambare5929d ago (Edited 5929d ago )

I saw even admins asking about that guy. Could be a generous Home dev? no matter who is he but if that's real, is awesome.

edit: a misteryous 2 post account created today showing those pics and the GDC is already here and home almost here.... now that's amazing.

sonarus5929d ago

dont kid yourself toughName you know you bad ps3 news is your specialty. Its hard to find so you are begining to rubbish posts. Yea i saw your madden post. If bad ps3 news is your specialty so be it have fun digging the internet for that bad ps3 news. I also dnt think you can have a next gen console without hi def media. Dvd format is a decade old. Step your game up get on that blu ray. Out of bubbles so am done posting

toughNAME5929d ago (Edited 5929d ago )

I don't submit negative PS3 news. I submit all news.

On the other hand, half of your sumbimissions seems to be negative 360 news?

Your a Sony man through and through so I really don't see a problem with this. But according to your logic this is wrong?

http://www.n4g.com/News-763...

http://www.n4g.com/News-429...

http://www.n4g.com/News-427...

Your comment has zero to do with the article and should be deleted. As should mine most likely. So I guess I'll sum up my argument:

Good for PS3 owners if this is true. But I'm going to go out on a limb and say these screens from a first time poster are total bogus.

whoelse5929d ago

Its fake. In the top right hand corner, that thing with the user info, that has been copied from a website who added that into their own design for custom XMB.

ZeroXMD5929d ago

dunno about XMB but i was playing DMC4 on my friends ps3 and got 2 accomplishments for him during the weekend. One of them I got after beating level 7 or 8, don't remember which. Honestly, i could give a rats @$$ about achievements/accomplishments because all it is is the game saying "good job, you did this" when really, isn't that what hc gamers go to do anyways? I understand it's bragging rights, but it doesn't really matter. They don't enhance the game any really because the game would be the same if they weren't there, so i could care less if they had them or not. So you can't really say something isn't Next Gen if it doesn't have it.

n to the b5929d ago

one of its key advantages is being eroded here. good for you Sony, about time.

hfaze5928d ago

If you're playing on Devil Bringer difficulty with Automatic turned off, DMC4 has accomplishments.

Personally, I'll be LOVING it when in-game access to our friends list, messaging (text at least), XMB implementation of the PS button menu is available...

These are definitely photoshopped

sonarus5929d ago

Please explain how you came to that conclusion. I suck at photoshop to me these look very legit.

TheIneffableBob5929d ago

I can tell from the pixels quite easily, even without my monocle, as I have seen quite a few shoops in my day.

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow4d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1824d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie3d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere3d ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

OtterX4d ago

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney2d ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno4d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno4d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii3d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno3d ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
