The official achievement list was released today and includes Gamerscore values for all 41 achievements.

Will these be available in the beta?

[Whore_Mouth]

Normally, no.
In a walkthrough of the beta, a trophy popped up.

This has led some people to believe that there may be achievements in the beta.

It's a long shot, but maybe.

[DarkZane]

Maybe it was an internal beta build that had trophies.

i really hope they remain in the beta. not gonna lie, i don't care for gamerscore but there's something about trophies that has more value to me even though they're basically the same. leads me to get 3rd party games for my PS over my Xbox

I own all consoles, but i for one can't understand how anyone can prefer trophies..
With gamerscore you know that each game ships with 1000GS. Meaning that when you get a semi-fat 50GS achievement, you know exactly it's worth and its much easier remembering how much closer you are to that 1000GS, for example.

With trophies, well. There aren't any existing standard amount of trophies (Sony should have implemented that long ago..sigh,,). That alone makes them alot worse to me. A bronze or a silver.. Their worth is.. Well.. Different for each game. The amount of trophies are all over the place between games.

I mean, there is a meaning with all games shipping with 1000GS on Xbox 360 and One. Plus, the achievement stat tracking and such, is ALOT better and meatier on the Xbox One (and to some degree on the 360).

But then again. Trophies/Achievements mean different things to different people. Im just sharing my opinion. Plus, i guess Achievements coming out long before trophies has impacted how i feel.

Although, the Platinum trophy is a nice touch.. That's something MS should have semi-copied long ago.

Actually psycheeyemike, the trophies do have a value to them. They're just hidden. But I feel ya, I used to like GS but trophies are worth getting more thanks to the platinums.

The reason PS trophies > XB GS is because:

Let's say a gold trophy is worth 50 points/gamerscore and bronze is 10.

If you rack up three gold trophies you get 3 gold trophies.

If you got the three same "gold trophies" on xbox you get 150 gs. But 150 gs could just be 10 "bronze" achievements. Whereas if you got those 10 bronze trophies on PS it wouldn't be equivalent to 3 gold trophies.

On PS each trophy is separate from another making them appear more valuable. I've 100% all the mass effects on Xbox and all I got were lame GS. 3 platinums trophy would have been more valuable to me but that's just me.

I think MS could learn a lot from Steam. Steam when you 100% a game you get a badge and I think that would be kickass if implemented right with something like a badge (different term of course) on your profile page along with a dedicated slide that can also be viewed as a separate page. It would be a great way to give some sort of compliment for 100% a game and to compete against platinum trophies.

Also it would be awesome if it implemented some sort if level system like Steam (sort of on PS3 I think though that only goes for trophies PS4 is probably the same)

I hear ya. But the thing is, with trophies you don't have a fixed amount of value in each game. So even though each trophy have a value (i knew they had a value) i feel they're less valuable..

That 100 GS when completing Wolfenstein on Uber difficulty for example, with GS you know its exact worth, which 1/10th of the total GS, it's a fat one :P

It's also alot easier to compare with friends. With trophies you eventually progress EXTREMELY slowly upwards in level, and it's basically impossible knowing how far towards the next level you are (without actually checking). With Gamerscore you can easily remember for example that you have 61000 GS.

I believe, and feel, that a fixed number of trophies for each game is necessary, or rather, a fixed total trophy value.

Also, on Xbox One you now have timed challenges, which award you Avatar Pictures and so on. And with the new snappable Achievement tracker it's really easy and fun to gather 'chievs.

But i ofc respect that alot of people prefer trophies (and i have gathered a whole bunch of them myself :P).

looks like it'll be fun gettin' those.

I'm not much into competetive multiplayer, but I will try platinum this game (well it also depends of how hard these raids really are)
