PlayStation's Loyalty Program Shows How Achievements Can Evolve

Achievements have remained the same for almost two decades, but Sony and Nintendo have some good ideas for revitalizing and modernizing the system.

Isn't this just Microsoft Rewards? I don't see the difference really.

Yes, lol, but don’t make game journalists do their due diligence, it might actually make them seem like professionals.

Sony has had a rewards program for a long time. Probably longer than Microsoft Rewards. And Sony Rewards did reward points for playing PlayStation games.

Yes it is, shocking journalism lol.

I get that lots of people are angling for an overhaul to achievements, but asking for something that’s already there isn’t it.

I'd be super happy if achievements amounted to Microsoft points. I'd love to get 10 Dollars for getting 1,000 achievement points on a game. 15 cents for unlocking 15 points in a game etc. That to me would really get me in the mood to platinum more games.

andy851340d ago

Sadly that would never happen given the hundreds of 10 minute platinum there are. The PS store is becoming a joke with them, there's been about 50 'jumping' games added in the last month or two

"sony and nintendo have some good ideas for revitalizing and modernizing the system"

this is literally Microsoft Rewards. A program thats been around for a couple years now. Practically identical. Its almost like they used the program, took notes and re-made it on playstation. I even get notifications on the xbox dash to redeem my perks.....

z2g1340d ago (Edited 1340d ago )

to the ppl disagreeing... explain to me whats actually different, cuz i don't see it. I'm not picking sides here. I own a ps5 and a series x. I had an xbox one x and a playstation pro. I owned the xbox 360 and a ps3. I had the original xbox and the ps2. I also had the original ps1. I have much respect for both platforms. I'm just saying this program is nearly identical to what MS has already done and its being described as a new concept which just isnt true. i've read about sony's program and have been using MS program back since its early conception back in alpha ring, so...

As a Sony fan… The delusion is strong around these parts bro.

Who care let people believe what they believe.

LOGICWINS1339d ago

They’re disagreeing because they know you’re right and you got them emotional.
