In Game XMB/Accomplishments Proof?

Here a user posts a picture of him getting a Warhawk Accomplishment, like the Achivements on Xbox Live, this will give a new thrill to gamer's by allowing them to gain point's from every accomplishment they may come by. Also in the picture it reveals In Game XMB, a well waited for feature for Playstation/Sony fans. Real or fake?

[sonarus]

toughNAME stop being a hater its just in game xmb geez. Its not bad xbox news. Just let it go.
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.

[toughNAME]

its the users very first forum post, and he just happens to be the first to view PS3's in game XMB?

Aweful lucky if you ask me

I wouldn't put much faith in these screens

[sonarus]

maybe he is an insider with info and he created a new account so he wouldnt get in trouble. Tons of possibilities first post has nothing to do with it

[decapitator]

Thanks for posting. Although the pictures are blurry but you can clearly tell there is something going on. Can't wait. Sony announce it at GDC.

EDIT: BELIEVE.

I'll hold you too it

[C_SoL]

ur actual friends....and its blurry like the other fake photo....i believe its fake....it looks cool though....

http://www.psu.com/In-game-...

@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.

[MrTeenie]

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.

[sonarus]

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

[games4fun]

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)

[toughNAME]

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.

[decapitator]

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

http://flickr.com/photos/pl...

[games4fun]

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

[xplosneer]

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.

[Dann7978]

They were from january

[C_SoL]

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.

[gambare]

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.

[sonarus]

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

[toughNAME]

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.

[whoelse]

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.

[ZeroXMD]

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 b]

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

[hfaze]

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

http://s60.photobucket.com/...

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...

[KratosKilla]

These are definitely photoshopped

[sonarus]

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

[TheIneffableBob]

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

[UnblessedSoul]

Interesting I hope it's real

[THC CELL]

x box has just fell 800 feet from me

[davez82]

it looks legit, and with gdc coming we will find out soon enough

[eagle21]

Keep the goods coming....!!!

[Blasphemy]

Can't really tell by these screenshots. But you do get accomplishments in Devil May Cry 4.

[xplosneer]

It just....It looks too blurry for one, and two, the Achievement Icon just seems to "Pop" from the screen. I didn't see the warhawk thing in the background, and if there was, it could easily be a paused Warhawk video.

Sorry guys. truth.

[Sevir04]

Way too blurry and even though PHotosho has blur it doesn't blur like that.

this is just about confirming it. and warhawk is also planned to be updated with Home and such. and it's soppose to have the accomplishments.. the in game XMB is also legit.

[Nathaniel_Drake]

Is UT3 going to be updated with home also?

[Sevir04]

uncharted and DMC4, and even ninja gaiden sigma, ratchet and clank and HS. they all had an award system ready to be placed into home.

On the subject of UT3. Epic's Mark Rein said that they had Planned UT3 to have the Launch from your Home space right into a multiplayer session , and that some sort of trophy system was also planned for the game as well post release but since it's now coming out in spring i wouldn't be surprised if all that is updated once home has taken off with it's release

[fanboi hater]

when they were showing of ut3 before its release a simple button press allowed for a gamercard or something like that to be brought up. The devs said oops you're not allowed to see that. So i think everything is just starting to come together.

heres the link to the article i found it

http://www.n4g.com/News-592...

[Genki]

change the blasted name. Sounds too familiar to Achievements.

This would be like Sony releasing a game called HELO to combat Halo or something, it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

[Blademask]

It's called HAZE. ;)

[games4fun]

dont be so mean to that game i will be sorely disappointed if its like halo at all, i want it for the drug gameplay the two different fighting classes that actually have differences and the steal weapons play dead scenario

[jwatt]

Although I am happy there will be some sort of achievements, I don't like the name accomplishments, I will call them trophies instead. It's like M$ coming out with a service like Home and then calls it house.

[wildcat]

I thought they were sticking with just Trophies.

[games4fun]

i think that it is true maybe

[Mattearl]

Was the picture taken with a cell phone? because they look like sh*t. Its kinda hard to say that those are "real".

But i'm sure its coming.

[timmyp53]

. =)

[OC_MurphysLaw]

I suppoose it could be real...

But seems kinda half @ssed if it is. I mean, the announcement seems to be displayed outside of the actual game...wtf? So you need to be outside of the game or paused to see the announcement? And if this is just a shot of how the game lists the acheivement you gained...where is the list of other yet to be acheived accomplishments?

...sorry...i lean towards fake on this just given how un-friendly that feels. I could be wrong..and the interface could be vastly different since these are only screen shots and not video.

Also...why not shoot a video of it rather than the single screen shot 5 different ways?

[xplosneer]

When I see a live video that doesn't change feeds I'll be satisfied.

Go ahead, I'd LOVE to be proven wrong in this instance.

[Rice]

So close but yet so far.

[Delriach]

It's hard to tell what's going on. I'm pretty sure a video proof could have been added easily. Seems too much like bigfoot syndrome to me. Also certain things look a bit too familiar..

[Jandre02]

The layout I mean. I see controller setup, network and friends. I DONT SEE where in game music would be.

I can wait on that, but I do think these are real and will announced soon and I dont think it will have in game music.

But it will be cool nonetheless.

[Lew_Ijgee]

A Photoshop image being displayed in a PS3 on a TV. Why would he just put up the same image four times from different angles. It would seem more realistic if different icons where highlighted on the screen for each different picture.

[rbanke]

We KNOW these things are coming. If these are real screenshots, thats good. But Has anyone ever noticed that people that post 'inside information' allways post the blurriest pics?

[Mikelarry]

like pics of big foot and lochness monster

[jwatt]

The photo of the t.v looks real, hope to hear more at gdc.

[lwsbrck]

i say photoshopped personally, the accomplishment thing looks far too similar to the xbox 'achievement unlocked'pop-up. i mean honestly, sony does have some originality. putting it in the same place as the 360 popup comes up (centered at the bottom) in the same sort of format (console related logo on left, detail on right) and even execution (momentary popup bubble) isnt something a major manufacturer with a massive team devoted to the programming of the system would do

i'm not saying the PS3 wont get an acievements/accomplishments system. all im saying is that im pretty sure it isnt this

[DJ]

I keep earning Accomplishments in Devil May Cry 4, but no one seemed to talk about that.

[hfaze]

Same here... Those screenshots look more polished than the accomplishments in DMC4 though... Instead of the generic PS3 message popup you get in DMC.

[Genki]

Sorry ladies and gents, I know we're all hyped up for Home, but if Accomplishments manifest as literal gold and silver trophies, that will be lame. It will essentially be the same thing as gamer score, where everyone's apartment will look the same(A bunch of the same trophies of the same games littered about) and they won't have any useful functions.

Game rewards NEED to come in the form of clothing, furniture, appliances, and items we can use, I.E. skateboards, prop guns, display weaponry, accessories, and items found within the game or things that pertain to the game.

A perfect example would be the 61 treasures you find in Uncharted. Every single one of those should be transferable to Home and usable. Imagine running around wearing one of those tiki masks. I'd much rather have different, tangible, usable items than a bunch of gold and silver cups sitting around the place.

[Mu5afir]

It has already been stated, that some accomplishments well unlock goods on HOME like Clothing etc.. a LONG LONG time ago.

[The Wood]

new items for home would be kool

[Superiorrior]

LOL @ Gun Tropies: I smell a HOME killing spree

"Wtf I can't Log into home!"

"I PWN'D U WITH MY M4 TROPHY!"

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

I can see In-game XMB coming soon, but I doubt these are legit, I can make that in Photoshop (elements) easily. Trust me its not that hard.

[Clinton514]

There are so many freakin stupid attention whores out there, I don't even know what to believe. So I choose not to believe until I see the real deal.

Blurry photos suck. Everyone can agree with that.

[Meus Renaissance]

The Network Icon is the old version.

[InYourMom]

a custom wallpaper with that image on the bottom right of the screen. I actually put a wallpaper on my PS3 with the the 360 Achievement Unlocked in the bottom middle. For the sake of the gamer zone I won't say what achievement that is. haha

But I think it's fake. Shouldn't that achievement pop up during a game and not in the XMB?

[heyheyhey]

accomplishments sounds really g@y and patronising (just like acheivements) its like

"hey well done you accomplished something in life"

i don't know- i like the concept, but the name is really g@y

[Rockwallaby]

crack for some people, but it works on the 360 it will work here as well

[InYourMom]

Where is DarkSniper and is Sony is innovating and MS is always copying.. LOL Right down to the same shape as the Achievements on the 360. Let me guess the games are all at 1000 points each too.. doh! I guess they are.

Accomplishment Accomplished hiyyaaaa!

[DrPirate]

As much as it copied...

It just took away a selling point, ultimately, that's what it comes down to.

[InYourMom]

I will be saying the same thing when MS releases their version of HOME. Maybe they can call it "APARTMENT" or something.. lol I don't think this site will be as forgiving that is for sure.

I will be more curious to see how it's implemented, like will it come with a gamerscore and if it will be cumulative across the platform similar to leaderboards? I have too much wrapped up in my gamerscore on the 360 to even entertain a clone of it so, it's too late for me and the whole Trophy thing.

[DrPirate]

You're right :(

[sabbath420]

Funny how all of a sudden the sony fans are hip to this idea. When they thought only xbox had a type of achievement tally they said it was gay and lame and there was no real need for such a thing. Now they are all hip to it cause sony has "jumped in".

[Superiorrior]

Meh, I'm still cautious to the idea of accomplishments, not that I wouldn't mind it so much.

[redwingsrock]

Is That A Score i seen in the top right corner like a gamer score on XBL, sweet i hope its true
I'm so excited
please give it soon Sony
don't taunt us any longer

[Stubacca]

Lovin it.

Can the PS3 get any better?

I believe the next update allows the system to sprout metallic legs and travel the globe, killing Terrorists, tyrannical dictators and all-round bad guys. Legend will pass into myth and in a few thousand years, the PS3 might just be worshipped by followers around the world as the one true saviour.

Believe.

[Marceles]

As much as I want this to be true...that blurry stuff is real fishy...also the TV it's shown on, wouldn't it at least be on a better TV than that? I'm not trying to clown the guy, but I mean...why would the only guy with important screenshots like this have a blurry camera and a standard def TV?

[Blademask]

This guy is probably a just a Home beta tester that noticed an upgrade. A guy.. who clearly lives in his mothers basement.. i mean.. thats a old ass 19"

[ReBurn]

Funny how the pictures are so blurry.

[Death2494]

...anything about file types or anything you would see that the images were uploaded from a digital camera.More than likely it's a cell phone.It is the exact file type that any images with taken with a cell phone would be.I highly doubt that these are fake.The "DC" in front of the number stands for"digital camera." Now suck on that you xbox lovin' red ring of death supporting little ...well you get the hint.

[RoboChamp]

Like someone else pointed out, the network icon is the old one. Additionally, the controller battery life is hidden away in the corner because? The design choices are awful and amateurish. Sony's design team is sleeker than that. Whats more, look CLOSELY at the Warhawk image. It's unpaused. Unless pressing the home button freezes the game itself, which is unheard of and unlikely, the image of Warhawk should be different every time, since the game is still in action.

[coltsfreak18]

if we had in game xmb i guarantee you it will pause. Most games pause when you press the ps button

[fenderputty]

It's hard to say one way or another if this looks legit but, we know it's coming eventually this year. Hopefull more will be revealed at GDC this week. The faster the better. We've been waiting long enough for this stuff, most of it should have been there day one.

[Cregan4584]

It's always some hilljack with a $20 Wal-Mart camera that gets the good news. Anything blurry I pass off as fake. I like the Home Logo popping up with the accomplishment though. If Sony made those shirts, they can't be d*ckheads and do something like that without giving us good news. We'll find out by Friday for sure though.

[Ri0tSquad]

Eh, I'll wait for Sony to announce it. You guys can get excited if you want. I'll sit this one out until we get some official news and not some random post on a site with terrible pictures. The in-shirt XMB picture does seem like were right next to the announcement though.

[jay2]

Don't be suprized if an updates not announced very soon with all the info on XMB and accomplishments. There already in DMC 4 and Walkhalk so.....

[proArchy]

If you were in on some sort of beta wouldn't you start an alt on your forum of choice instead of using your usual in order to avoid litigation. Being anonymous, and having a crappy camera is not proof that this is fake. its also not proof that its real. we need some moar datas!!

[FORZAKcWIZ]

that is real for sure, u cant photoshop that picture to look like that....my question is who is this guy?? and how did he get that?? I WANT IT!!!!

[Superiorrior]

I'm guessing you haven't seen any of the other dozen of photoshop'd pics of in-game xmb and accomplishments, I don't really believe this one anymore than the rest of them.

[Dashmoney101]

i guess M$ should be flattered that Sony is taking things from MS's so called "Not as good as the PS3" console. lol

[Surfman]

Home and in-game XMB are coming soon for sure, but the pictures are fakes. It would be easy to do stuff like it. Plus, the angles of the shots are really bad. If this guy wanted to show us the real in-game XMB and everything we are waiting for, he would take better pictures, and why not videos.

I believe its coming in few weeks maximum, but i dont believe in the pics.

[btkadams]

looks kinda like the other photos.. why dont insiders have decent cameras. seems fake to me, but it seems like that wouldbe what it would look like.

[ChrisGTR1]

i dunno about you guys but it looks to me like a picture is on the screen ,and they took 5 pictures of it. cause its the same thing everytime.

[Yoma]

It's fake. I can smell the taste of fake all the way to Sweden. It looks like the tv are not even on?

And it is the same quality as the old fake in-game XMB pictures

[Orange]

how do people manage to act incredulous when bringing up Sony copying Microsoft? Jesus, Joseph and Mary, the biggest thing Sony is copying is Microsoft's business model of copying its competitors. Microsoft gets one or two decent original ideas and suddenly they're your virgin mother that invented everything good about the industry.

edit: whoops! that was meant to be a reply to some comment...not a random rant. <red faced>

[ambientFLIER]

Lol, "accomplishments", way to make it sound lame.

[MaximusPrime]

"xbox" sounds lame too.

Some guy sold an xbox on ebay. The winner received a cardboard box with a huge "X" on top.

[alan001]

WHERES THE NEW PSN LOGO!!! THE ONE WITH TH XO , ow gr8 no square and triangle on my kebord lol

[Tsukasah]

But I wont believe it until Sony says it.

[psnDevistator356]

and I say it can be done but Ill keep on hoping its real.

[KozmoOchez]

believe it when I see it

[ScottEFresh]

FLIER... oh ya your right those "achievements" sound sooooooooooo COOL!

[VMAN_01]

Have you noticed that on the image it says "Players met" while on the actual xmb it says Players Met with a capital M for met.

[MaximusPrime]

interesting but i'll believe it when i see it.

[ceedubya9]

When/if this finally happens, I think this will be a great thing. The closer the free PSN gets to the functionality of Xbox Live, then the more Microsoft will have to think about a free online playable version of Live in the future. I love Live, and I don't mind paying the fee right now, but the closer the PSN gets to Live, the more consumers will start think twice about paying a fee for something they could have similar somewhere else for free.

[DanteLinkX]

Microsoft makes a t-shirt that says "In shirt RRoD" just to catch up to sony's humor.

[MrTeenie]

HA! Amazing idea so should do it and sell the shirts!

[DanteLinkX]

"In showfloor RRoD" sounds better, since they already got a RRoD at their demo XNA kiosk LOL.

[thewolf5]

well i work for this site, and i have to tell you the best reasons that i think this could be true, the playstation network icon is missing, but that could be due to the fact that you do not need to be in the playstation store, and after a while, the icon at the top right says "Mr.." somethin i cant make it out, but it's a psn id, and for it being an SDtv, why would sony waste money by giving one of their employees a HDtv?, and for the picture being blurry,the guy just has no photogrophy skills (which means i doubt he photoshopped, lol), but the main reason this could be true is that sony has not said anything about these pics being fake and these pics were released so close to the time the "in-shirt xmb" t-shirts were released

[elliot94]

these seem fake to me as much as i want them to be real as i cant wait for home but between the friends list and network there is that new blue icon inbetween and this one doesnt have that... just a thought.. as warhawk is online and you must have the new firmware to play online right?

[Bleucrunch]

lol you know microsoft is gonna copy home when they realize how insanley popular it will be.

[JamesL007]

Its a fake, nothing more then a fake image done in photoshop. Those are some of the worst screenhsots I have ever seen in my life, Do people not know how to Multiplex a digital signal to output to two different devices like a TV and PC or MAC. Come on Bigfoot photos look more real then this.

I am surprized this crap makes here on N4G now of days, nothing more then rumors without real sources or info or even good photos. Seriously the Accomplishments are going to look a lot different and better plus the in-game part what game is he/she playing it does not show. This is either a custom theme someone made to look like that on the PS3's XMB or pure photoshop either way its a fake.

[Tony-A]

It's an obvious fake. Sorry guys :(, but looky <a href= http://blog.myspace.com/ind... in my blog post about it. Again, sorry to burst bubbles, I'm dying for Home and In-Game XMB, too.

[jamesrocks3147]

WHERE IS YOUR FRIENDS LIST!!!!!

[sabbath420]

Funny how all of a sudden the sony fans are hip to this idea. When they thought only xbox had a type of achievement tally they said it was gay and lame and there was no real need for such a thing. Now they are all hip to it cause sony has "jumped in".

[ROCCOZILLA]

in game xmb,very cool.want to change your menu screen check out PS3-THEMES.COM though your ps3 browser and download them in seconds!

[Salvadore]

GDC is running and Sony are soon having their press conference.... It will come people.

[Surfman]

i hope youre right, we been waiting for this for a long time. Same for Home.

[Djomblade1]

This just isnt important to me at all. Yeah its cool and all, but seriously, all its going to do is make people think they have bigger d!cks because of their "achievements" status. For example, "you aint sh!t man. Look at what I achieved on this video game". I believe its just adding more commercialism to something that doesnt need it...PERIOD! Gaming does not need this to attract players or keep gaming going. Me having a great time with my fellow gamers out there is enough achievement for me. I dont need something on screen that tells me how "uberly" cool I am. Its only a matter of time before the gaming community starts demanding even more things being given to them when having fun should just be enough you see where Im coming from?

And if I could make one wish. I wish that gamers would just unite and quit dogging each others consoles. We all have something in common, and thats gaming. Lets just keep it at that!

[Bubble Buddy]

Pls let it come :)

[whoelse]

Proof its fake:

http://www.gameinformer.com...

See how the top right corner is the exact same to the top right corner on the pictures.
