Two videos detailing the features of FW 2.4 are being posted on the PS Blog tonight!

Just posted on the PS Blog:

Also, in a previous post's comments section, some details on the content of the two videos:

Happy day's for ps3 owners.

both going up at 12am pacific ( 8am GMT ).

Im interested in how trophys are implemented to be honest, in game xmb and music never was a big issue for me, others it was though.
 
I predict 2.4 will be a let down, purely because if i'm right i can then say 'i told you so', and if i'm wrong everyone will be too busy playing with the new features to pick me up on it.

You are so wrong .... which means I will be able to tell you i told you so ;)
 
I got a feeling it wont be a let down as such, but will take a few more minor updates to be exactly how people want it. Im of the opinion that many of the older games will not work with trophies, but will have to be patched at a later date if they are going to support them at all. It will be a start at least, and it will be helpful not having to quite to read messages.

I think some of the older titles even will have support straight off. Resistance as an example already has a 'rewards' system in place.

The majority of recent games from about Heavenly Sword onwards included something though...

Only time will tell, but I can't help but feel it will still be a massively inferior system to 'Achievements'. (disclaimer - I do not own a 360, nor have I ever. Not a fanboy, do not flame me.)

Do you mean the actual achievements themself in game or the scoring system? 360 achievements is just a number.

What the hell is FW 2.4 a new game?

firmware 2.4 for playstation 3, contains ingame messaging, cross game invites, custom soundtracks and the new trophy system.

But you wouldn't know, being a 360 exclusive owner ....... move along, nothing for you here.

It's a software update for the console, your precious 360 isn't getting another one till the winter :p

BTW that isn't meant to start a flame war, it's just banter for cheets :)

The 360 doesn't need one, it was bang on from the moment it left the factory.
