Achievement Points

EliteAlucard1 · 05-14-2008, 03:17 PM

Well achievement points seem to be a big hit on the 360 so I was wonderng if you guys think microsoft will empliment a similar system on the zune. I mean think about it, you can use your same xbox live gamertag as you do on zune.com so you should be able to download official games and get the achievements on the zune and then plug it into your computer and the points will be added to your 360 accounts total score.

I know there is a cell phone version of guitar hero with achievments (which is kind of silly because they don't do anything) so I really hope that they do this with the zune.

Do you guys think it will happen?

achievments on zune?
what for?

I kinda doubt it... Maybe If when you connect to someone who's zune is connected to their xbl account, It could show their gamertag with achievements. But earning achievements on zune... no... 99% ssure it won't happen...

Maybe one day in the long distant future... games that do achievements etc need to be carefully controlled otherwise people will write games in XNA that just award achievements.

On the 360 this is handled by paying for your game to go through a certified publishing process (XNA games in creators club cannot do this).

So maybe if one day Microsoft allow and publish commercial games AND they decide to write a connection to XboxLive so there is somewhere to store them.

But in all seriousness I wouldn't be holding my breath.

Incredibly highly unlikely.

There have been no announcements made that would support the notion that XNA games on the Xbox 360 will have access to the achievment system. Thus, XNA games on the Zune would not have access either.

Well I think sometime in a while, microsoft will find some of the great games people made and make them available on the zune marketplace and they might introduce achievements into those games.

and the reason why i want it is cause I want more achievements! if people will get teh achievements on the cell phone version of guitar hero which don't do anything, people will like to get achievements on their zune that is actually connected to their xbox live account. I also hope they will put out wifi connections for you zune to 360 and be able to do some cool stuff.
