While it's obvious the 360 version of Capcom's upcoming title
Bionic Commando, revived from its classic NES game of the same name, will have achievements, the PS3 will have them too. Right now they're being referred to as "a similar trophy system", which we're sure is just going to get called "accomplishments" officially sooner or later. These will appear when you go through some mini-challenges, like defeating a certain number of a certain kind of enemy or performing certain moves back to back with your bionic arm of destruction.
The story is getting a little hype by Capcom, too, saying there is a message behind the plot. The notion is that it will "explore the idea of man versus machine and comment on the frailty of the lead character when robbed of the power of the bionic arm." Yes, we all can identify with human fragility because we don't have a robotic arm that lets us swing around a city. It bothers us every single day.

I know it originally came from the 360, but still, i welcome Achievments/Acomplishments for the PS3.
It sure as hell has made me want to get a million orbs on DMC4!

Wonder if this will need a 5gb install as well.

seems to be the norm for Capcom. Might as well reserve a spot everytime I buy a Capcom game.

Wonder if an achievement is unlocked you get a hot dog in HOME.

Well, I wonder how many more upcoming games will do this as well

All of them! Do you actually think that Sony won't completely copy MS's achievements for every single game from here on out?

Gawd I loath the term 'accomplishments'.
Trophies sound soo much better.

I agree. "Accomplishment" reminds me too much of a knock-off "Achievement."

You know the best part about achievements....the sound made by the notification I love that sound as for the achievements themselves utterly meaningless.

I'm just excited that musical god Mike Patton (Ex-Faith No More lead singer) will be doing the voice of the main character.
Can't wait!
