PS3 Trophies
Link of the day - Download FREE casual games!!!
It is here people, all you need to do is start your Playstation 3 up and download the firmware update which is now live, this is a must go on go download that 2.40 firmware update now for your Sony PS3. It has everything you need such as in-game XMB, trophies and the awesome Google Search Bar. The trophies (achievements from Xbox 360) will be great for hardcore gamers and of course the in-game XMB which will give you the ability to access various settings and send messages to all your friends whilst inside games, now that is a fantastic addition.
Below we have put two walkthrough videos to feast your eyes on, this download is a must and will not disappoint you, today is the day July 2 for the best download called 2.40 firmware update, the system will eschew its Xbox Live-style cumulative numerical score, instead adopting a four-tiered approach that bestows four kinds of awards: bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. The trophies will be assigned by each games developer and no not Sony, and will in fact be associated with a task of relative difficulty; bronze medals will be doled out for easy feats, plus gold for the harder objective. If tasks are completed and we mean COMPLETED you will receive platinum medals.
What we like is the fact each trophy will have a numeric value associated with it, and this value will indeed contribute to an overall levelling system, you know similar to those in role-playing games. However, you will be unable to see how much each trophy is worth, but instead will only see a completion percentage for each game and each overall level. Trophies will become pretty much standard for all games, at the moment it will be added to a few existing games which include Super Stardust and Warhawk, but other than BioShock Sony said that they it could not confirm such trophies for any existing or future third-party PS3 games including the awesome Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, they did mention a few up-coming games that will have trophies which include NBA 09, Resistance 2, LittleBigPlanet, SOCOM: US Navy SEALs Confrontation and MotorStorm: Pacific Rift.
The new in-game XMB is pretty cool indeed and will offer a host of other new features as well, which includes the ability to send text messages to friend’s in-game and to jump to other PS3 services. However, many of said services–including Web browsing and voice chat–will force players to quit their game and then access the XMB traditionally which is a pain in the ass as usual. The rumoured customizable in-game background-music feature will let player’s stream music from their hard drives whilst playing a game, now that is pretty cool. However, the feature will be game-specific, which means that it is up to developers to enable the functionality or not. Now please watch the two videos below, then get all those comments in, we want to know what your views are on the all new Playstation 3 2.40 firmware update.
