Trophy sound is on the developer.

I was playing SSHD and I when I was finished with the level I turned down the sound effects and music volume to 0. When the messege came up it had no sound. I then turned back on the sound effects(not the music) and continued playing. When I finished the level I just kept the sound effects on max volume. I was then rewarded with a trophy and a little sound effect. Could this mean that the developer is the one who has to put the sound in? If thats true, then that would mean 2 things.

1. You have to have game volume up to hear the sound of the trophy.
2. The developer can pick the sound they want to use for getting a trophy.
     If that is true that is a very very cool thing. Think of getting one in final fantasy and being rewarded with the dadadada daa daa da dada sound. That would be cool.

Could use guys test this out on your PS3s, maybe its just a bug in my console. Please go try getting one with game sound at 0, then one with game sound at max.

I would have preferred custom notifications. Where I could personally change the sound effect, using the theme builder program, to whatever I want.

I can see how that would take alot of the fun away out of the whole experience. How bout the sound has to do with your xmb theme, that would be neat.

In Game on the 360, the developer can do anything when you get an achievement. The game responds to the achievement and then a little pop-up saying how many gamer points that achievement was worth.

Just like in Lost Odyssey (a final-fantasy-like RPG), achievements are gained by finding rare items, getting multiple "100%" hits, or completing side-quests. There are even several for "finding all spells" and "collecting all items" which would be extremely hard.

In game finding achievements like rare items sometimes trigger random scenes and such. And the 360 notification is controlled by whatever theme your using.

Um I'm not sure what you're talking about. He is saying devs can change the sound to whatever they want, on the 360 it is always going to be the same blop blop or however you'd spell that.

mattkelly19916507d ago

no,no,no... I'm talking about the sound effect it makes when you get a trophy. I'm not talking about how you get a trophy. I know how you get one.
I'm talking about the developer either:

a. Has control over the sound and you have to have game sound effect volume on to hear it.
-OR-
b. Doesn't have control over the sound and you have to have to the games sound effect volume on to hear it.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing1d 13h ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit1d 13h ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing1d 13h ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster921d 11h ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse

Tanktopmaster921d 11h ago

Let me be clear. This is sarcasm
