I remember collecting my first trophy. It was fun, it was exciting and instantly, I wanted more.
The drive was all personal. It was my personal goal to collect as many trophies as possible because it actually made you feel great. Seeing those little trophy avatars made me feel so good.
And then I realized that this wasn't even the full potential of PS3 Trophies. I liked knowing that I had friends who compared trophies to me, but even so the only reason I collected trophies was for my own pride.
Once Home comes out the full potential of Trophies will be recognized. Imagine collecting trophies to show off to strangers. I think it will elevate trophies into something totally different. I love the idea of having a trophy room and being able to show off to people. Instead of having 2d avatars people will have fully 3-dimensional trophies to brag about.
I know, I know, it's all old news, but it certainly gives you somehting to think about. The PS3 is trying to catch up to XBL but now with Home and trophies they are doing something a little different. Though XBL is the better online experience, Home seems to outline the feeling of "community".
I never had much hope for PS3 online but now I am getting more excited. What do you guys think of this?
