PlayStation 3's PixelJunk Eden to carry Trophy Support |
Ó
We've got some interesting bits of news today, at least if you happen to be a fan of Q-Games' PixelJunk Racers and PixelJunk Monsters for the PlayStation 3. Sony has recently updated their official site with details regarding a new game in the franchise, titled PixelJunk Eden.The third game in the series will immerse players in an environment overflowing with all sorts of strange, ever-evolving plants. Aside from growing your own vegetation, you'll also have to contend with Eden's strange cast of enemies and maze-like undergrowth.
While a new PixelJunk game is certainly cause for celebration for the PS3 fans, a quick look at Eden's fact sheet also hints at some (possible) future surprises for PlayStation 3 owners. Quoting PlayStation.com:
- Visual Appeal in Full HD
- Dynamic Animations and Effects
- DualShock 3 Support
- Trophy Support
- Up to 3 player co-operative play
- Online Support - Players can track single-player and co-op high scores on the online leaderboards
- Remote Play - Supports Remote Play for PSP system
Among other updates, this firmware update is rumored to carry a new trophy function that'll show up as a 2D image on your console's XMB. This is not to be confused with the entirely different trophies that are to be part of PlayStation Home.
Adding further weight to this bit of speculation is that PixelJunk Eden's currently set for a summer 2008 release, implying that it might be among the first games to make use of Sony's new PSN feature.
We remind the readers that the bit about the new firmware is still within the realm of rumors, at least until we run into more solid information in the near future. Those interested in viewing PixelJunk Eden's current batch of screenshots will want to visit its section at the official PlayStation site, via the source link below.

We draw the reader's attention to the Trophy Support feature (in bold). According to a related rumor (via PlayStation Universe), Sony might be planning to release the PS3's firmware update 2.40 by June, close to the launch of Konami's Metal Gear Solid 4. As a recap, Sony just released firmware 3.5 earlier today.
Firmware 3.5 ? really.. wow that was fast.. they only just released 2.35
Trophy Support means nothing. It seems to have the internet buzzing that users will actually get trophies sometime in the near future.
Games have had trophy support for months. Warhawk has it, Ratchet and Resistance have it, Uncharted, Super Stardust, GTA4, MGS4.. the list goes on and on and includes a big chunk of the total library.
It means absolutely nothing.. its just preface code that probably wont go into operation until the fall.. more likely the winter and possibly not even this year.
Fixed. Thanks for pointing it out. :)
those games are using achievements? i did read articles that the dev's have already done the coding etc for this, to be used when home is released.
This game however is using its own Trophy system - which isn't related to Home at all.. thats a real shame..
"Among other updates, this firmware update is rumored to carry a new trophy function that'll show up as a 2D image on your console's XMB. This is not to be confused with the entirely different trophies that are to be part of PlayStation Home."
If the trophies aren't the ones that are related to Home then I have no reason to bother getting them.
trophies in the xmb it was it should be. Just to check others profile to see their trophies instead of going to home to see them. For me, home trophies is just a fancy way to see yours and other trophies.
