Rumor: In-game XMB and BioShock trophies caught on video

by Ross Miller { May 30th 2008 at 4:00PM }

More rumors regarding the long-awaiting, promised in-game XMB for the PlayStation 3. A member of the Max Console forums has posted a handful of images and videos what is reportedly the XMB working during BioShock, as well as trophies for the game. We've embedded one of the videos after the break. While certainly more convincing than some of the mockups we've seen (think: MS paint), we still remain skeptical.

It says it's gone, anyone have another link?

PojoMofo @ May 30th 2008 4:06PM

Does Fernando REALLY needs his own defense force? really..

He seems to do a good enough job of that by himself

Philip (Fernando Rocker Defence Force) @ May 30th 2008 4:07PM

That's why he needs one, everyone hates on him.

Fernando Rocker @ May 30th 2008 4:12PM

A person @ May 30th 2008 5:07PM

If you haven't noticed, we have a pretty good reason to hate on him.

why not the LS2LS7? @ May 30th 2008 5:23PM

It's not hating on someone when you dislike what they say because they act like a 12 year old.

When Fernando is prepared to grow up, I'm prepared to like him.

Nomi @ May 30th 2008 5:33PM

I actually read the comments on PS3 posts to watch the hilarity.

Neebs @ May 30th 2008 5:58PM

This is becoming a spam chain very fast...

GOGOGO

finaldarklord @ May 30th 2008 6:02PM

Sorry guys, but I have a policy against e-dick sucking.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to -1 every post I see of yours, Phillip, until you ditch the Fernando Defense Force tag.

RobLink (Return of the McElroy Defence Force) @ May 30th 2008 6:14PM

Can I keep my defence force tag?

Dave @ May 30th 2008 4:05PM

GAH! Give me in game XMB, but please no trophies. I don't want the PS3 community to turn into a bunch of achievement whores! I want to enjoy my games the way I want to, not the way some twisted developer wants me to. I know they're purely optional, but the temptation will be too great for some people to resist.

PojoMofo @ May 30th 2008 4:07PM

out with the nerd points, in with the nerd cups?!?!?!?

Nick the Hero of Canton @ May 30th 2008 4:09PM

So? For some people...not for you. So let those people enjoy the game that they want to. You can enjoy it the way you want to. Tada.

Subleak @ May 30th 2008 4:10PM

Pfft! Get over it Dave, now bring on the silly (and absolutely useless) trophies!

Shmil @ May 30th 2008 4:29PM

So... you get to enjoy games the way you want to, but other people can't? That's like saying that you don't like sprinkles (jimmies) on your ice cream, but other people do. So you don't want there to be any sprinkles (jimmies) in the world so that other people won't start enjoying sprinkles (jimmies)

NATO_Duke @ May 30th 2008 4:36PM

Somebody really likes jimmies!

Hey Dave, seriously, you sound like a real jerk with your posts busting on 360 users and achievements. How did you become so much better than the rest of us?

If you are so much cooler and dont need to impress people with trophies then you won't have to worry about them, or the lack of them, appearing in your profile.

Dirty @ May 30th 2008 4:43PM

I found that achievements helped me get rid of my addiction to using cheat codes. I haven't used a single one while playing GTA4 so far, eventually on a 2nd play through I will cheat to have some fun.

Addiction to gamerscore is more productive than cheating IMO.

Sean @ May 30th 2008 4:07PM

The System Is Down.

BIGGEN (LIVE-PSN: BIGGEN1103) @ May 30th 2008 4:07PM

trophies, eh? are these trophies that we earn going to ONE DAY be integrated into Home? i think i remember reading something about a trophy room. i think i remember reading something about Home. i think.

Fernando Rocker @ May 30th 2008 4:11PM

Are they going to call them Entitlements or Accomplishments?

Naah, it doens't matter... either way both names are bad.

=p

el serpiente @ May 30th 2008 4:14PM

They're gonna call them Fernandoments.

Because they are only for the greatest of attention whores

Fernando Rocker @ May 30th 2008 4:16PM

Nice... Maybe I will buy a PS3!

=p

PojoMofo @ May 30th 2008 4:17PM

zing a zing zing!!!!

Philip is slacking

Fernando Rocker @ May 30th 2008 4:18PM

That's what I found very funny, and kinda pathetic.

I never attack anyone of you, never. Don't insult anyone of you, just the PS3, but you guys likes to bash me, to my person.

That makes me laugh.

=p

Vince UK @ May 30th 2008 4:24PM

Then why suggest them?

joeyg @ May 30th 2008 4:26PM

achievements is the golden name then? i supposed if MS called in anything else, it would be the golden name for you?

why must you hate EVERYTHING that sony does? did they rape you were you little?

here's and achievement for you

Acheivement Unlocked: Fail at Life

Fernando Rocker @ May 30th 2008 4:28PM

I didn't know that having my own busines, in my home, with two workers, and a lot of free time was Fail at Life.

cc123 @ May 30th 2008 4:32PM

"I never attack anyone of you, never. Don't insult anyone of you, just the PS3, but you guys likes to bash me, to my person."

You attack and troll the PS3 because you don't like the PS3.

People attack and troll YOU because they don't like YOU.

Which is dumber, trolling an inanimate object or trolling a person that intentionally gets on your nerves everyday?

Vince UK @ May 30th 2008 4:33PM

You get your parents to post your eBay's off for you?

Wii60Warrior @ May 30th 2008 4:48PM

Lol I've always wondered that as well...

Nothing can beat that feeling of knowing you just earned a chevo...

joeyg @ Jun 2nd 2008 12:23PM

whoa!!!! Fernando, you mean to tell me that you are an ADULT???! I thought you were just some retarded little teenager. I didn't realize you were an adult and had nothing better to do but bash anything that involves sony.

you really did fail at life.

AoE @ May 30th 2008 7:15PM

@cc123

"Which is dumber, trolling an inanimate object or trolling a person that intentionally gets on your nerves everyday?"

Actually, caring enough about commentors on blogs to the degree that you allow them to get on your nerves is dumber than either of the options you gave cc123 ;)

Mykal Bloom @ May 30th 2008 4:18PM

Not worth it. =)

Seriously people I have enough with the damn intel ads poping every 10 seconds or so why the hell you keep posting the same Walmart offer again and again?

Shagittarius @ May 30th 2008 5:35PM

Are those humming bird ads for intel? I had no idea, shows you how effective they are intel.

Prehaps if joystiq wont remove it, intel will knowing how they are making us hate their products.

Richie @ May 30th 2008 4:32PM

I don't care that Sony is CLEARY ripping off MS, but if I ever hear some stupid ps3 fanboy say "Teh MS copied SoNy!" I'll just have a good laugh at them. There isn't anything wrong with copying sometimes though.

why not the LS2LS7? @ May 30th 2008 5:39PM

Sony played h.264 files first. MS copied them. Sony did Eye Toy... MS copied them. Sony did online play first (SSX3, etc.) on PS2, MS copied them (and improved it greatly). Sony put two analogs sticks on a controller. MS copied them.

MS copied a lot of stuff off Sony. Deal with the pain.

hai2u @ May 30th 2008 5:48PM

M$ copied Sony on the making consoles tip. Get over it son.

AoE @ May 30th 2008 7:55PM

@why not the LS2LS7?,

I call bullshit. The Sega Saturn and the Sega Dreamcast BOTH had online/multiplayer, long before the PS2 was released my friend. ;)

I think there was also a 3rd party modem for the SNES if memory serves. Either way, Sony was WAAAAAAAAAY late to that particular party, let's not revise history, yeah?

At the end of the day... welcome to business, at one time or another everyone in the game has taken inspiration from someone else's work. Someone ALWAYS has to come first, and for those that want to remain competitive, it usually means duplicating some of your competitors' innovations. At the end of the day what matters isn't who created what first, it's who does the best job of implementing/integrating the feature?

why not the LS2LS7? @ May 30th 2008 11:17PM

Saturn didn't have online play, Dreamcast did. Before Sony.

A modem isn't the same as online (internet) play, the XBand system (the third party modem you talk of for SNES/Genesis) was direct dial-up consoles to console, as was the derived system for Saturn. About a half-dozen of my friends worked at Catapult on XBand.

AZ @ May 30th 2008 4:23PM

Fernando, people bash you, a person theyve never met and only read about or from, on joystiq.

You bash a console that youve obviously never owned, rarely if ever played and only read about on joystiq.

Whats the big problem here?

NATO_Duke @ May 30th 2008 4:41PM

Problem as I see it is that he's a person and the PS3 is a machine. Him busting on it is an annoyance to you, but doesn't stop you from using and enjoying it. You calling him names is more than an annoyance.

Personally attacking him as a failure in life is entirely uncool when he doesn't say such thngs about other people. I see people like Name123 who call people names, swear and are filled with hate for all others, I don't see that in Fernando.

Arttemis @ May 30th 2008 5:04PM

Well said, NATO. The ambiguity of the internet really does seem to cause many posters to reduce people to lifeless entities when that's just not the case.

AZ @ May 30th 2008 5:21PM

I have no problem with what he posts and where he does it. However if hes going to be a one beat drummer and criticize the same thing over in troll like fashion then hes going to have to take the heat when dished back. Its obviously trolling at its worse, as someone else has mentioned, can he ever say anything constructive or positive? Or is it he appears only in PS3 articles to spew an agenda....WHICH IS FINE mind you. Just deal with the fact that people who own the PS3 and look forward to supporting their purchase might see Fernando as attacking their purchase and therefore see it as a criticism on them. Now it might become a personal matter for that person. So just as he has the right to attack what he wants, so should they have the ability to say something back

If he was giving a constructive insight or opinion, and hell if even owned one, i think some people might be more tolerable. He doesnt obviously, and has an agenda. Whats wrong if someone doesnt agree with HIS agenda?

Delgado @ May 30th 2008 5:16PM

...how/why the hell did this topic turn into a lengthy Fernando discussion?

cc123 @ May 30th 2008 5:23PM

You guys are acting as if Fernando was a normal person on here and that we should be mindful of his feelings. Here I'll show you who Fernando Rocker really is:

"I hope that this game fails, together with MGS4 and Killzone 2 (really)"

"But I'm not trolling... I'm saying what I really want to happen... I want that the PS3 fails (more than now)..."

http://www.joystiq.com/2008/01/27/ffxiii-designer-promises-demo-2008-release-date/

Is he being mindful to the developers that are putting in thousands of hours into these games? No, he wants them and their games to fail because they are not on his chosen consoles. That's about as bad a fanboy as there can be.

"I see people like Name123 who call people names, swear and are filled with hate for all others, I don't see that in Fernando."

Fernando is filled with hate towards the games, developers, and fans of anything Sony. When he shits up thread after thread that is Sony related is he at all concerned with the fans that like to read those threads? No. Just because he doesn't call people on here names doesn't make him any different than trolls like Name123.

NATO_Duke @ May 30th 2008 5:32PM

cc123, I see what you are saying, but i can't agree that because he has a problem with some games or Sony, that he is suddenly open to comments like he often gets.

His hate for Sony doesn't seem the same as contempt for people in my book. Yeah, I don't share his ill will for some consoles, and it makes no sense to me, but he's an alright guy from my experience, who shys away from calling anyone 4 letter words and the like - in fact, he seems to limit himself from talking about people as a whole doesn't he? Hell, he doesn't even get as mad as I do when some of these people start calling others names and such.

Talking sh*t about a machine is, like I said, totally different than just talking sh*t about a person.

AZ @ May 30th 2008 5:45PM

Nato, i dont think when people use curse words it means they are foaming at the mouth pounding on the keyboards when typing a response. I dont think people should abuse other people on this board or any other board for that matter....however,

i feel he gets his kicks off of it. Its definitely a pattern forming with his posts especially on PS3 threads. I wouldnt know him as a "good guy" (thought he was a 14 year old) because i dont look at threads that dont pertain to my interest. PS3 pertains to my interest 90% of the time, and if that article is positive or negative, i have noticed he is there to give his agenda. He has that right tho.

The point i think you are missing, is that it often can ruin a discussion or gathering of opinions when he comes with the same ole bullshit. It gets some people riled up because its a continuous thing, its even expected now. Then the topic, like this thread turns to him and is unreadable. Again, i think he gets a kick out of riling some people up. Its his right to do it, but dont mask it with, well its not people its a product hes talking about. People invest time, money and their lives into gaming, and i think some people take his constant troll like behavior as a slap at them.....well all im saying is they have the right to slap back then.

This is just what im noticing in my short time on this website.
