First Shot of the New PS3 Trophy System

Here's a brand-spanking fresh image of the new Trophy system that Sony just implemented in their brand new 2.50 firmware update. What do you think?

I certainly think its a big improvement, it's nice to have more insight into what's going on with the Trophy EXP system. Hopefully they'll work on speeding up the syncing system next...

[Mr_Luke]

Isn't there some code to put in forums that shows your situation like the gamercards? Not those where you have to put the games you're using, but an automatic one that shows your trophies, the last games used, exp etc etc

[disrupt3r]

check out http://www.playfire.com dude. but its not automatic, you manually select what trophies you have etc.

[SixTwoTwo]

i wish we could choose which trophies to display on our gamercards

[Marceles]

Yeah, if you want to do that you can just save adding those trophies for last

[oOLightOo]

Agreed. some looks Sweet. but some looks like Cr@p.

[Kleptic]

I don't even understand what it displays trophy wise...is it just your 6 or 7 most recent trophies?...I guess that is it, because mine only shows Wipeout HD stuff right now, while most others on my list show Burnout stuff...

this is cool I guess, especially the comparing improvements...I just really hope SCE does what they have been talking about with letting your exp level unlock stuff in Home...i know there is supposed to be unlockable free content, but they haven't really explained any of it yet...

[CliffyBee]

looks better than the entire first hour of Gears of War 1.

I may have to infiltrate Sony and see how they are coming up with these quality updates, when I cant even make a half decent sequel to a sub-par game :(

[nice_cuppa]

wow !

sort your life out mate !

[Shaka2K6]

[lelo]

Another account ... how many do you have? ... 20... 30.

Funny, these guys that have multiple accounts, leave a comment and after login with their other accounts, to respond and agree to the previous comment.

They are talking to them selves. It's funny and sad at the same time. You guys need help.

[CliffyBee]

This is my one and only account guys. The Cliff doesnt know how to make a second account, just like I don't know how to make a second decent game :(

Glad to see someone finishing my first game in under an hour :D My retarded wife managed to finish it in under 45secs.

nice cuppa, I think you might be right :( Shall I join Sony? That will sort my life out.

[CliffyBee]

I have more than one account XD Hey "me" :D

On a more serious note....the new trophy system looks amazing. I cant wait to get home and download it, after I've finished transfering £10,000,000 from my account to Kotaku for the rent boys they keep sending me over.

SONY, PLEASE GIVE ME A JOB! LET ME JUMP OUT!

[Keele]

Get the hell out of here.

[xaviertooth]

hey aaron pig-berg here... did i miss something???

[Pain]

Trophies >>>> Achievements

[GiantEnemyCrab]

At least the loser with the pig kissing Aaron Greenburg has a little creativity.. Cliff Blashitsky? Lame.

btw - Nice achievement ripoff! Are they dynamic yet so you can imbed them in html? nope! keep trying.

[Marceles]

Trophy sites figured out how to find the percentage already but it's nice to not have to go to them anymore to find out how close you are to the next level. That's basically all they changed, they added the percentage and changed the color of the bar if you compare trophies. It's not an OMG HUGE improvement but any improvement is great for PS3. I agree with the syncing as well, I don't mind comparing trophies all the time to sync but it'll be nice to auto-sync.

[Kleptic]

yeah I didn't even realize that happened until like last week...PSN card doesn't update until you sync your trophies...I new I had earned like 15 trophies in the past week, but my card still only showed stuff from uncharted...I figured it out now...

[ReTarDedFisHy]

pretty sweet. Going to have to log in and update myself to see how it really is.

[KARMA2009]

And its FREE .... =)
no one should complain for having free online play and having trophies,if we had to pay like MS then you can complain ....

[KARMA2009]

For letting PS3 owners having free online play,free access to the web,amazing firmware updates,and trophies,etc ... They could charge PS3 owners a year fee for about $10 to $20 dollars for using their online services but they didnt,so all PS3 owners should be greatful and stop crying about little things...

[edhe]

Because they're playing catch up.

[JD_Shadow]

If they are, they certainly have done one HELL of a job this year.

In other words, you can safely assume that this playing field is at the very worst for the PS3 even now.

[princejb134]

they've been caught up

[solidjun5]

huge 360 fanboy.

[edhe]

I'm no fanboi, i'm simply stating facts that the ps3 crowds like to omit. I do have a 360, like you have a ps3.

PSN is still behind Live, and when the NXE launches it'll be further behind again. They have not caught up, and won't unless MS stops developing Live.

That's what years of hard work do for you.

360 is the preferred platform for things like betas etc because it's so close to PC and has a full intrastructure in Live, it reaps benefits.

[PureGamer]

sony doesnt get credit lmao in every other article about xbox live it gets mentioned get off your high horse and have a look around son.

nothing big, the only complaint i have is it takes me ages to download a firmware update.

[KARMA2009]

Get a better connection son,it took me 1 min to download and 1 1/2 to install firmware 2.5 .

[jessupj]

I have a 1.5 mb connection and for some reason it takes over and hour to update automatically. I think it has something to do with my location, it's very very annoying.

[PopEmUp]

it took under 5 min including the install i wonder where you live

[PureGamer]

my internet is bad but it doesnt explain why my 360 downloads a hell of a lot faster than my ps3.

[Bren86]

Why do we need screens? when we can just go on our ps3s and have a look ourselves!

[Mr_Bun]

Because some people like me are at work and can't access our PS3s 'til we get home.

[PotNoodle]

A 1.5mb connection is horrible, considering i have a 20Mb connection.

[PSWe60]

what's with the row of pictures above the trophies?

[SmokedOut]

Im glad the update made the trophys show up much quicker,before it took mine around 10 seconds before it showed.

[mfwahwah]

Hey, that's my monkeybox avatar!

[VampHuntD]

Rocks. I love having the EXP level so I can officially gloat about the level being higher. I know it's pointless, but it's fun!

[M3 Superhero]

Thats the ****. Ownage for the PS3. Trophy System - Hands On.
