"We've been happily playing Devil May Cry 4 for a wee while now (check out our review and awesome series retrospective) and whilst doing so we noticed something a little strange about the game's accomplishment system. It's not the first multiplatform game to include the Xbox 360 achievements inside the PS3 version, by any means, though it is the first to allow players to check out their online accomplishment rankings as well as check out exactly which individual accomplishment goals their friends have achieved.

The interesting thing is that the "Accomplishment Unlocked" screen is a part of the PS3 Operating System, similar to the network connection screen, rather than an in game messsage. What does this mean? Well it could mean that DMC4 is the first game to include specific data which Home will later be able to turn into trophies (when it's finally released). It could potentially indicate other exciting things, but we'll leave the rampant speculation to those who do it best: you, the commenters"

So it takes you out of the game to show a black screen telling you that you just accompished something.

they devote a whole screen to it yet they don't include the description

awesome, now they just need to roll out Home and then i can walk to everyones individual trophy room to check out a bunch of trophy icons.

Achievement unlocked : Epic Fail for 50th time

oh you know this isn't the case

That said, even though this screen occurs at the end of the level and not in gameplay, its sparseness is sort of antithetical to the whole celebratory aspect of "accomplishing" something. :\

Wow, Sony can't even copy other companies' ideas correctly. First sixaxis and now this.

Didn't Naughty Dog say Uncharted will have Home accomplishments? It pops up the achievement when you earn it, just like XBL.

Hopefully, the unlock message doesn't cover the whole screen...

btw, 'Simply Spectacular' is the actual name of the 360 Achievement for completing a stage with 'S' ranking in DMC4. (i know 'cause i got it)

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #10 on:** February 04, 2008, 11:32:55 PM »

You have to buy the 360 game as a strategy guide for achievements!

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #11 on:** February 04, 2008, 11:34:09 PM »

SONY does it again! These achievements are totally IN YOUR FACE

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #12 on:** February 04, 2008, 11:39:44 PM »

Tiny pop-up in the corner? Sony says fuck that! Our achievements are going to take up the entire screen and make you hit X to skip past them! Sorry, I mean ACCOMPLISHMENTS! WOOO!!

Accomplishments.... sounds too much like Achievements

go Sony, and their fantastic originality

I met someone once who actually personified the whole 'wait until 2008' meme, and she was actually serious lol

PS3.....lol

whats funny is some Sony tosspot dismissed waggle as 'gimmick', a gimick they were happy to embrace - badly. I'll bet they said the same shit about achievements, asswipes

Himu · « **Reply #16 on:** February 05, 2008, 12:30:06 AM »

@ this half assed achievements

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #17 on:** February 05, 2008, 12:36:31 AM »

360 becomes even more redundant in the Year of PS3

FatalT · « **Reply #18 on:** February 05, 2008, 12:41:55 AM »

PS3 achievements fail.

i dunno, i bet sony ends up doing waggle better than nintendo

Like Lair?

It'll end up being half-assed. The only reason third-parties do it on the Wii is because Nintendo has basically forced them to. Maybe one or two first-party Sony titles will have really good waggle but third-parties will ignore it

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #21 on:** February 05, 2008, 12:57:02 AM »

well, lair isn't a good example and just sucked all around, but blazing angels controlled really, really well with the sixaxis (the game itself was the fucking pits, though)

Vizzys · « **Reply #22 on:** February 05, 2008, 01:03:05 AM »

reading the gaf thread the screen shows up after completing a mission, not during gameplay

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #23 on:** February 05, 2008, 09:25:23 AM »

Sony creative geniuses once again cunningly use evil Microsoft empire as betatesters, 2008 domination confirmed

Rman · « **Reply #24 on:** February 05, 2008, 09:33:39 AM »

I don't know, eel. I absolute hate the way sony waggle has been handled. It's been totally unnecessary for the types of the games the ps3 features. flOw has been the only exception for me.

Joystiq pwns Sony...
