Sony,

I'm not sure if you're aware of why Super Stardust HD had so many people buying it after Trophies were released for it, but let me tell you why: Trophies. Given that Achievements are the primary reason people would buy a game on the 360 (that and your PS3 cost too freakin' much for average folk) over the same game on the PS3, so instead of pushing for things unrelated to games, like a virtual movie store (which is very nice), please focus on what's going to make your system and games sale, and despite a few here-and-there people, Trophies are going to push those numbers. I'd really push developers that have already produced games to check out those Super Stardust HD sales statistics, so please, show them how well it did after you released some Trophies for the game. Granted, not every developer is going to work on the patches for it, but still, if you could get at least 50% of the current games to put some of those lovely treasures in a future patch, I bet you'll see a drastic increase in purchased PS3 games, even older ones.

Your pal,
DryvBy

Hey DryvBy,

Didn't mean to interrupt your rantoid there but bring your ass to PS3 Friday Night Fights.


Also, I agree with you. But that's coming so we wait.
I will soon; right now my inet sucks so bad (thanks to the Nazi Party, also known as Comcast).
Am I the only person who read, a few weeks ago, that Sony will soon begin to mandate trophies within the next few months? 'Cause sometimes it seems like I AM the only one to have read/seen that, given the number of complaints heard about trophy support lacking in... support.
360 is more expensive than PS3. Moving on...


Yeah, that and I want my damn music in my damn games.
Super Stardust HD is still a great game in its own right.
I see what you mean as I could really do with trophies for UTIII and R&C, especially Uncharted. But its no biggie as the idea of Achievements and Trophies don't appeal to me as a gamer.
Beside, the R&C series has had something similar being 'Skill Points' for ages before these features turned up, but those were just damned fun to discover.
I wasn't sold on achievements for a while. After a few months with them though they do add a little something extra...

@ RonBurgandy2010 - Is that with the crazy Sony math (Console, XBL, wireless reciever, etc)? Because I think you may need to relearn math if that is the case...
@Ocified-Xboxer
Being given the choice to buy things you need is the same as making you buy them. There are other options for us, bit for the "average" consumer (read: stupid or uninformed) it's a nickle and dime nightmare.





But yes, it is.
I do agree the trophy's add a little something to the game. But not sure it would equal sales. It definitely will for the 1st few games but i think right now you have people hungry for that content since its new and fresh. But once the new games start coming out with trophy's I think most people won't look back unless they already bought the game. Though anything to advertise the game such as a trophy announcement is good as it might spur some purchases from people that might have overlooked them when they came out or where late adopters of the PS3.
@I do agree the trophy's add a little something to the game. But not sure it would equal sales

Dude, look up Stardust after trophies were announced. I ended up enjoying the game...a lot...but trophies spiked their sales. It's a fact. Read forms of games out on PSN now. "I'd buy it if it had trophies..."
trophies for full games. not this bs 17~20 but a full game with 40~60. i cannot stand levels in single digits! and not one fncking person is level two. wtftftf
also....you're all fanboys and need to be purged from this site. you fncking ps3 mother fuckers, fuck you. they should release the ban~o~matic on all you fucking ps3 owning blueray butfucking sixasex holding punks!
Sorry I dont agree

"Trophies" may be important to some, but they are not important to all. Some people do not give a shit about irrelevant bits of information stored as points for virtual pissing contests. Some people actually just care about the game.

Also, the PS3 is not just a gaming platform, so Sony focusing on what is going to make their system sell is working on all aspects of their machine, not just working on what you want them to.
