More FW 2.4 Rumors: Konami Pushing Sony for Trophy Support?

From reading my site, you know that I have some friends in the industry.

What I have been told is that Konami is heavily pushing Sony to hurry up and get 2D trophies, and in game communication, ready in time for the release of MGS4.

MGS4 is all ready to be released so what could Konami have up their sleeve big enough to persuade Sony to getting going, and release those features?

Here is a hint at what might be able to push Sony to move a little faster.

[Ocelot's voice]
Yes.
We just finished the press conference.
Yes.
Everything went according to plan.
Yes.
We’re entering into the last phase of the mission.
Do you want to execute the launch-day surprise?
Yes, that’s right.
Akihabara, New York, L.A….
Live, simultaneously throughout the world….
Yes, it’s under control.
The VIPs are happy to participate.
Yeah, that’s right.
That person.
Yes, sir, understood.
So on June 12th…
By the way, what should we do about “The Project”?
Yes, that’s correct.
That man has fallen.
It’s about the sequel.
Yes, indeed.
Yes.
Yes.
Yeah.
I see.
Yes, sir.
Mr. CEO.

    This is excellent news, let’s hope this is indeed the case.

    Oh and of course, I love Konami too….Well, actually, not Konami, Kojima Productions to be more precise ;)

    Konami is actuality bad, they tried to push Hideo to make MGS4 a multi-platform title.
    MGS4 on 7gb?!?! Keep dreaming money grabbers!

    wow anyway lol……Yeah very exciting news.

    True. When say Konami, I mean Kojima Studios. Looks like June will be a great month for those that have been desiring “achievements” and in-game communication.

    That would be awesome if that’s true.
    That would mean in-game XMB.

    Never owned XBOX 360, so I’m pretty interested in a trophy system. Sounds pretty cool and definitely addictive. I need to get some play out of my older games. So hopefully they’ll add support back to cataloged titles.

  7. Grendell Says:

    if this gets confirmed, i’ll pre-order the limited edition of this game (although i’ll probably never play it - i’ll still give them my money “just because”).

    @ Kronic Kidd

    in real life Trophies are better then certificates. YOu can actually show off to others your trophies, while certificates(text) are only for your own personal prowess.

    I believe that the trophies will be great for the PS3. I have both the Xbox360 and the PS3.
    Achievements are great. I love then. They have the potential to make a great success in the PS3 too.
