Ubisoft Destroys Achievements And Trophies, Introduces Uplay The Future

Posted by hiphopgamer | Real Talk with the HipHopGamer | Saturday 14 November 2009 8:32 pm

Microsoft brought gamers Acheivements which was a genius move on their part, and a feature that has changed the gaming industry. This feature has also been an inspiration for other companies such as the introduction of trophies with Sonys Playstation 3. This new revelation in the form of Uplay by Ubisoft is incredible and in terms of standards, this is the future.

    @ HipHopGamer

    This is a good feature, I can’t wait to start using it when I get AC2 next week.

    However, you completely over-reacted to this. It’s a great feature, don’t get me wrong. But you’re making it sound like it’s the best thing that’s hit the gaming industry ever. It’s only in-game rewards, just the same as you can buy rewards in Uncharted 2 or in Tekken. The only difference here is that it’s going to be across all Ubisoft games, but does that really change it up that much? This is an EVOLUTIONARY step, not a revolutionary one.

    This would’ve been worth making an article about if they were going to give you REAL rewards, like send you a T-Shirt for getting a platinum in a couple of games, or give you discount on a future game. But just in-game rewards? You had me all exited for absolutely nothing. This honestly isn’t a big deal at all.

    Also, how on Earth is this at all related to trophies/achievements? Like I said before, games have had in-game rewards for completing in-game tasks for decades. This is only slightly different, in that Ubissoft are doing it across all their games. As I said, evolutionary not revolutionary.

    You guys make it seem like hip-hop can’t have emotions or feelings towards something. Hell I jumped out of my seat every time I was playing UFC Undisputed 2009. and would do something nice. So shut up and quit being a hypocite.

    Do you Hip-Hip, and good article

  5. Comment by xino — November 15, 2009 @ 1:29 am

    I dunno about Wii, but I think this feature is available for Metorid prime 3.

    It works like Uplay+achievements

    you perform requirements and you unlock points, with the points you can unlock stuff in-game. Though it doesn’t give you description.

  6. Comment by the truth — November 15, 2009 @ 5:52 am

    yo what planet are u on… there are avatar unlockables for playing a game.. jsut like play station has stuff for home.. i for one used the halowaypoint and got stuff.. so y is ur article or outdated… yo dude do ur research first properly b4 u send crap online..

  7. Comment by hiphopgamer — November 15, 2009 @ 5:59 am

    things for your avatar is cool but even with playstation man you can unlock actual arcades for free in home and play games that’s crazy right there, but the article is geared towards trophies and acheivements as a whole homey. and Uplay is a system built for ubisofts games that gives you rewards that microsoft and sony would make you pay for. there’s no trophy or acheivement that’s going to unlock multi-player modes, new weapons and things like that. a game like uncharted has something like that but it’s specific to that game. imagine if you played soul calibur 4 on ps3 and when you get a certain trophy yoda gets unlocked. that’s alot better than paying for it, also costume packs for street fighter people paid for that when a system that ubisoft has set up will give it too you for free just for playing the game. that’s what i’m talking about and that’s what my article is about

  8. Comment by chessnuts54 — November 15, 2009 @ 7:12 am

    I think all this achievements stuff is the most pointless thing ever and I’m amazed at the craze people have over them, and I don’t think I’ll ever understand them.
    It’s like with awards, they’ll the game devs will lock a specific weapon or game mode… does anyone see the humour in this? We’ve had stuff like this before achievements/trophies! LOL, who needs them.
    And avatar unlockables? Honestly, how can you even care about some useless light saber or whatever for some pointless virtual character.
    And now Steam has joined the bandwagon too since about a couple years ago.
    To me it seems like these console companies are continuing to get a lot better at taking ‘crap’, branding it like some shiny must-have product, and convincing people as a gamer that THEY want this, and I’m shocked to see everyone jumping for it.

    Holy shit, I never bothered watching your vids before, but wow, your such a homo.

    Yo, its the hippity hopper gamer show wiggity fucking wack. Your a complete dumbass, and a terrible black stereotype.

    Just stop making videos, you suck

    You’re an idiot.

    And get the fuck over the airport scene in MW2. Big fucking deal. You killed a lot of people, in a video game…its not that shocking.

  11. Comment by DaSolidProof — November 15, 2009 @ 9:13 am

    Yo Hiphop some website have you up on N4G confirming that AC 2 (xbox 360 version of course) will have the Splinter Cell demo packaged with it. Is that true?

  12. Comment by LeoDaLyon — November 15, 2009 @ 11:15 am

    I know what you said, and I understand your point, but I don’t think that this is any different from any in-game rewards system introduced anywhere. I seriously doubt that Ubisoft is going to give away DLC when they can make so much more money selling it. If anything, it’ll be U-Play exclusive DLC that you can only get for registering to the site. And what do all websites want? More subscribers or visitors. And giving people an incentive to join the site is nothing new. I mean no disrespect, this is just my point of view/opinion…

  15. Comment by Gamer Muzz — November 15, 2009 @ 4:40 pm

    Um…Hip Hop Gamer,
    you’ve completely over looked something.
    the Achievement awards offer items for your avatar. you get items for getting in game achievements.
    for anyone who hasn’t seen this, Feel free to check out Halo Waypoint (free download on XBL) for an example. you can view the items you’ve earned by going to your “customize Avatar” section and viewing them under “awards”

    also, though this is a very cool feature, it doesn’t really mean much outside of ubisoft games and is therefore very limited.
    the achievement and trophy systems are vastly superior in that they offer a running tab and grand total of your in game achievements throughout everything you play. thats all it was about anyway.
    It’s cool. But to say it Destroys MS and Sony’s systems is ridiculous.

    also, I don’t want a description of exactly how to get every achievement. You may want it to be “easier”. you may need your hand held and be told exactly what to do
    “go under the bridge and look up.” (your words) LOL
    But not me, I prefer a challenge.

    There is no demo for SC: Conviction, folks. The inserts all contain the same code, and when redeemed online at Ubi’s site it unlocks ringtones and wallpapers.

  20. Comment by Cueil — November 17, 2009 @ 6:40 am

    Microsoft has a system that’s sort of limited that they are testing out where you can win real items for getting certain achievements… or redeeming certain milestones… only a select number of people are in it which sucks

  21. Comment by procrasturbater — November 17, 2009 @ 11:15 am

    Xbox USED to offer free things for achievements. it was called the Oldspice challenge, or something like that. They gave away free 440-800 point XBLA games, gamer pics, ect…

    They immediately stopped giving away free games, downloads, ect.. because they found that people can boost their gamer score.

    For example, I can go on a certain website, and download a Kingkong game save, upload it to my 360 via a special usb adapter, and within moments of renaming that game-save (to my gamertag), I can add 1000pt to my gamerscore.

    THAT is the reason why they dont give away free shit… because hackers ruined it for everyone.

    Most people already knew this 2 years ago, you sound ” um.. uh.. um” ignorant. Do some fuckin research before making a show and save face.
