IGN's Take on PS3 Trophies Rumor

Did the Sony scoop of the year just pop up on the web?

Last night, the Internet lit up. Apparently, leaked PlayStation 3 screens show the platform's new trophy system and gamercard layouts. More after the jump...

I don't need to listen to everyones' opinion.

They first say that it's bogus and then said that it could be real.

Everytime a rumor surfaces, everyone takes it as true and then slaps sony if it doesn't.

Almost every story is ps3 related or xbox and ps3 related.

[pwnsause]

its real

[chaosatom]

but then the details are being 2nd guessed.

[Jack Meahoffer]

Everyone has been wondering what Sony would do to counter the gamerscore concept. You can have trophies but it helps if they add up to something simple and easy to show. I think this tiered thing is actually a pretty cool idea. Instead of saying I have 100k gamerscore you could say I have 100 platinum 200 gold etc. Maybe platinum trophies are for stuff like getting 100% and gold for beating the story.. Interesting.

I'm not sure about the screens though... But it'd be cool if the tiered thing was real.

[The Wood]

i also agree that id prefer to have concrete details instead of all this speculation tbh

[morganfell]

It's real? Please. Am I the only one that realizes where the character on the card with the afro is really from? It isn't a Sony invention. Wake up. Why hasn't anyone recognized that. And shame on IGN for lending credence to this fake.

[whoelse]

That character is a PSN avatar.

[Silogon]

They didn't say it was true, in fact they said the opposite. They actually said it was taken from their podcast and then turned into an exact replica of what they said. They then said it looked like **** which I find funny, cause they were the ones who came up with it.

Their podcast is pretty good by the way.

[spandexxking]

i thought that was weird/funny.

[meepmoopmeep]

haha... ironic

[C_SoL]

IGN:"One thing is for sure; if these screens are real, get your act together, Sony. That stuff looks lame."

They haven't even seen the final product and they are already talking smack.........man............

[Codeman420]

ok wat a surprise that they didnt like it. This is coming from a website that has bashed the PS3 since its release why would they change now.

[spandexxking]

i feel ign are the only site that bashes all systems not just ps3.

[Relcom]

What the hell are you talking about. IGN is one of the few good guys

[Whoooop]

I guess you didn't like the way they bashed MGS4 with a 10....

:)

[Silogon]

Not true, man. The bash Sony, they bash xbox 360 and they bash the wii. They also praise them when applicable. Same as me, kind of.

Anyways, if you listen to their last pod cast they say without a doubt the PS3 has the best games coming out for any system this year and that next year looks even better.

[Stinkinmushroom]

i also hope it's fake.. it's not very elaborate.. and grey makes it sad.. and those little trophies pictures are not very well done.. hoping it's fake

[Silogon]

Anyone who really looks at it can kind of tell it is a work in progress or it's balls out fake. Those trophies look very bland and blurry even. not a lot whent into them which leads me to think Sony has nothing to do with it, cause if you look at reason it'll tell you the quality is about on par with what I'm about to reveal to you all.

Sony allows us to make our own themes and icons for the PSN. Right? Our xmb's are what we make of them. They gave us the editor to do this even.

These, I think, have been made on the same xmb editor program we all have. Notice the scale of them never exced 14 pixles? Also, as I pointed out in another post I can draw lines using a picture taken from the PSN xmb and extend them and piece them togher and make a box using a wacom pen and photoshop.

I am not saying this are 100% fake, but I think something is a bit hit and miss about it. Quality just isn't there and I think they were made on the XMB editor. Sorry.

[Ri0tSquad]

And it does look like a work in progress like Silgon mentioned. It worries me Sony didn't say if it was fake. Usually they debunk fake pictures themselves. So why not this one?

http://kotaku.com/345325/no...

"So it's little surprise that Sony have confirmed this with us, saying yes, they are fake (as opposed to "no comment"), and no, nothing like it is planned for the next firmware update."

Yet they won't comment on these pictures.

[eagle21]

Doesn't it seem like you press circle to return to a main layout?

Whatever, we will eventually find out. :)

[Sev]

I believe the pic is of when you look at your "friends" trophies.

Looking at your own personal trophies is in your XMB.

[BigBaehr]

There is also a missing third screen, because if you look at the L1 and R1 options(showing you can go left and right)and the blue dots at the top shows that they have screen 1 and 2 but not 3

[eagle21]

@bigbaer...I noticed that too. Thanx for the reply.

It could be blurry because of glare from an SD TV.

[The_Kills]

FAIL...

[fanboi hater]

because in the first screen you can see a dell logo which would make me believe it was fake.

[Sangria]

They make displays, but we can use a PC display on a PS3 via a VGA cable.

[NegativeCreepWA]

Last year they made a TV and it was the only TV line they made. I unfortunately bought one. I want to send it back, but I dread the thought of going back to my old TV for a month.

[fanboi hater]

i actually thought about using a monitor with a vga after i posted but it still seems fishy

[reccodog]

Its kinda bland, BUT maybe Sony will have something better. These could be fake too. YOU NEVER KNOW!

[Vanqu1sh]

Agree with IGN!

If those leaks are real SONY really screwed their achievements up

HOPE this leak is fake, HOPE HOPE HOPE HOPE

if its real, THEN LAWL LMAO

[DanB91]

These screens are real. I am looking forward to it (though not to the little kids on PSN who say "Let's get trophies!"). I don't see why people are complaining. Oh well, to each their own.

[Spydiggity]

mid way through this generation is lame.

[butterfinger]

is not nearly midway through its life cycle. Ignorance is always lame.

[Dir_en_grey]

I do wish the icon for the trophies would look better though...
The shape looks weird and I wish they would have a better design in the final version. Or maybe the possibility of an update on the card's over-all design later down the road wouldn't hurt either.

Right now I'll take what I can get... I guess =/

[LeShin]

Even if it's true, it's just meant to be a gamer card so it was never gonna be anything extravagant. If people want extravagance, it seems we have to wait for HOME's trophy room....whenever that is.

[SL1M DADDY]

They do not include the game pics yet and will fill out rather nicely. If you look at the 360 gamercard minus the game pics, it would be lame looking too. Of course, IGN wouldn't have thought of this since they bash the PS3 for about everything that Sony tries to do in favor of the folks playing the games. I think this is great. People like the gamercard and score system that the 360 has. Having it ont he PS3 is just a little more icing on the cake.
