"OBJECTION!"

oooh, or the sound effect for when you get spotted in MGS! that would get annoying as hell whilst playing MGS4 though!

ideally the sounds would be customisable, and vary depending on the theme you've set for your console, but I doubt that will be the case, at first anyway.

exion

it's going to be the Playstation 1 logo sound!

djricekcn

I sure hope you can turn trophy indicators off.

archibaldleech

What TONX said.

@TRT-X: 1.5 Surround? You sure love your bass, don't you? :P

Antiterra

They will probably reverse the noise of the Xbox 360's 'blop' to a 'plob' and call it their own.

macr0planet

Snaaaaakeeee!!!!

Al87

@enewtabie: now the law and order sound would be SO amazing!

Primebuster

@DariusEnigma: that's full of win!

Somebody make a petition

exion

Ridge Racer! Riiiiiiiidge Raceeer!!

Also the PS3 needs more ashtion games based on Japanese history with giant enemy crabs. Hit the weak spot for massive damage!

NorthernAvengeR

Custom downloadable songs like themes and wallpapers sound good. Kinda like ringtones for phones

Maximus9

mgs codec plz

TONX

please , use the wilhelm scream!

SaintEmpire

@PaddyStardust: Exactly what I was going to say! Dada dadaa daa daa da dadaaa! (continues humming)

ThursdayNext

Why it'll be the exact same sound as the one on 360.

Except it will be in Dolby 1.5 Surround Sound with additional tremolo and crisp bass boost.

Because Sony is THE FUTURE OF GAMING!

TRT-X

**spoiler**

DING!

/**spoiler**

kiiwii

It should sound cooler than the sound of someone dropping a small deuce >:)

Skull_Leader

Is it just me or would it be cool if instead of a noise, or ding and announcer voice came on and said something like...

"Nice Job, You Made This Game Your Bitch!" or something...I'm just say'n I think it would be cool ;)

-EDGE-

(yelling) "YOU'VE UNLOCKED ANOTHER TROPHY!!! *crowd applause*"
Most annoying unlock ever. Ooo, or maybe one that explains what you've won, in a loud obnoxious voice. One that keeps talking even though you've tried to tune out about 2.5 minutes ago. One that doesn't get when a joke has been killed do to over explanation. One that just keeps going on and on, droning on about what you've unlocked again and again. It just keeps talking. Possibly repeating itself over and over again. One that will hopefully be the saving grace of this joke. A joke that died before i started typing it in the first place.

WildWon

@MOP88: Dammit!

+ Watch video

MOP88

@enewtabie:
I would settle with "Bokug Bokug"

+ Watch video

MOP88

They should use the Wilhelm scream.

DariusEnigma

how about "the get up noise"

N3v3r.kNows.b3st.

Final Fantasy win music please. Always makes me feel proud of my accomplishments :D

PaddyStardust

My guess it's probably some "shink!" sound due to it being a metal trophy.

Kaizuden

@Gunmetal_Grey: I wasn't going to download the new firmware until 2.41, but after reading this, I can't wait until Wednesday. Thanks, Kotaku!

everybest

@Astrofox

That would be an Awesome unlock sound!

gameradam

And this makes news, why?

Gunmetal_Grey

@Libo:
Yes,that would be nice:)

enewtabie

wilhelm

frostcircus

Oh, can we predict what sort of sound it makes? I'm expecting either a Cash Register sound. Oh, maybe we can pick what sounds it makes. I'd almost be interested if I could make it say "Riiiiiidddgggeee Racer!" when I get a trophy.

Salen

It would be nice if we could use a custom sound for our trophy/achievement unlocking endeavours.

Libo

*BLIP*
Trophy Earned
Level Up!
Gained 300 Exp
(etc)

SupaPhly

the suspense indeed!
My bottom dollar says it'll be the codec call sound, lol.

Alex_Mexico

RIIIIGE RACER!!!!

/had to do it

Astrofox

Cues Law and Order sound..clang clang

enewtabie

@Edge of Blade: You can only spend so much time in third place saleswise before you automatically get some humility. I'm sure that Sony didn't intend to.

The Metal Gear Codec would be an awesome noise to make.
Also 'Wark!' would be nice.
Or, "Yoo-got-ta Tropheeyyyyaaahh!" In some Ozzy/Tyler high voice.
@Frequen-Z: Just the very beginning of 'Still Alive', where she says, "This was a triumph" would rock.

jBusiness

I agree with a couple others on here. I would love it to be the final fantasy battle win music.

shade-black

@archibaldleech: Why? Why would you want to turn that off? If you were a 360 gamer (which I am guessing you are not), you would understand the joy of accidentally unlocking an achievement you didn't know was there. It's like a random little christmas of self-validation.

Trust me, you think it's annoying right now, but when you get an unexpected achievement/trophy, they are just as fun as those you worked hard for.

Edge of Blade

You're WInner!!!

Trailnutz

@djricekcn: I could see that being kind on the ears, sure beats an air horn.

AndrewG009

I say make it programmable. Mine would be Christopher Walken saying 'Atwater, take out my dick!' from Things To Do in Denver When You're Dead. Consider it a homage to Kotaku Time.

mister_shhh

If they're custom I'm gonna have the victory theme from Final Fantasy or maybe the Tomb Raider 2 "Ah-ha" sound or Gene from Godhand's "Heyyyyy!" shout.
The actual noises will probably just differ from game to game though.

steerpike

As long as you can edit the theme id be happy, MGS, Final Fantasy, Riiiiige Raacer they'd all get a look in.

Ryuujin1024

I find this significant. Sony learned a good lesson from MS' implementation of the same idea.

Wow, a humble Sony. This is new.

Edge of Blade

I want it to be the 'HEAD SHOT!' announcement from Unreal Tournament.

Failing that, some sort of GLaDOS voice would be awesome.

Frequen-Z

I don't think i'll ever get into this achievement stuff, unless they provide in game rewards I just can't see the point. But thats just me(and a few other people)

jive238

I would like "Did joo ike it?"

runandgun

I would honestly be happy if it went something like this...
Start off with the wilhelm scream, soon after the sound of ody slapping against pavement, then then A huge, i mean HUGE explosion, tailed closely by children crying because they dad committed suicide all because sony didn't allow custom sound tracks. Thats just me.

Dr.Fondler

@DariusEnigma:

/agree

EnigmaNemesis

hopefully like a shotgun blast!!

and hopefully volume adjusted so that they're much louder than the in-game music volume!!

and impossible to turn off!

108

Nintendo should do the same and have the mario 1up sound or zelda chest sound

wellsie_eng

Yakety Sax

phicaluk

@TRT-X: Dolby 1.5?!

D:

Solidius

I would love one that you could change as well. It would make it more unique. I'd probably choose a short part of a song, maybe that one from Rick Astley. I'm sure nobody knows it...

But any sound is better than no sound so thumbs up.

Candlejack

I hope it'll sound like the Compile sound :).

Grauw

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Ignatius

Yay. Nothing like some completely non-game related crap to pull me out of the immersion. Just give me the option to turn it off (and the notification as well).

dry-roasted-peanuts

If it's a good trophy...

*puts on sunglasses*

...I want to feel like I've earned it.

+ Watch video

Frank

There are rumors that the noise will be customizable.
Hello GLADOS voice!!!

Garo

@jive238: I'm with you there on that one

Neo-Senku

Ba-doop!

Totally conditioned for the 360 sound. I've started singing it when I get something done in real life.

Ba-doop! Gordian - shoelaces stayed tied all day. Achievement unlocked.

Ba-doop! The Plunger: 50th toilet unclogged. Achievement unlocked.

Ba-doop! The Big O - wife fully satisfied. Achievement unlocked.

Yonderboy

Everybody knows the best sound for it would be the sound it makes on the old GameBoy Pokemon games when you find a item.

SovietEngland

I want that asian voice that says "playstation" from the beggining of their commercials to say "level up" really quickly.

LittleBigPlaneteer

Might as well make it sound like a Xerox machine.

OutsideTheBox

@Strider-No.9: And custom soundtracks would defeat the purpose of having a music director make music for your games...

Not everyone would use the custom sounds, just like not everyone uses custom windows sounds, and they're used to the normal Windows intro... Me? It plays the startup sound from Silent Hill 3.

bobtheduck

@enewtabie: That is a GREAT idea! It could be included in themes! The MGS theme could play that the last half a second (the Dun dun DUN) of the Metal Gear theme song, the one, specifically, that would play whenever you won a level in Virtual Missions. That would be freaking awesome.

bobtheduck

@enewtabie: Awesome!

@Astrofox: lol!

Never underestimate the power of the satisfying sound of a reward chime. I swear that kept me hooked on Big Brain Academy for a very long time.

griffinrider

Nah, it should be David Hayter saying "Achievements?!" (in Snake's tone)

rbleader

No a custom sound effect would defeat the purpose of having a sound very recognizes

Strider-No.9

maybe they'll use the sound from that creepy crying baby ps3 commercial...

"mama?"

if_deez

Buh bom buh boop dee ding dong!

Barbara

Screw the sound I want the trophy notifier to look more like the 360 pop-up.

The big ugly gray box is going to annoy me. At times I wish I could turn off the online notifiers when someone gets online/offline because it's so distracting.

It would be nice if when creating themes you could effect the notifier when you're in a game (as of now it will change with the theme but only when you're browsing the XMB; when playing a game it goes back to the boring gray box).

incredibilistic

I think it should be a record that says "trophy unlocked, biatch!". Either that or "Ridge racerrrrrr". A laughing Kutaragi gif would be appropriate too.

gencid

@Frank: That, sir, made me ROFL. Bunches. Kudos.

Mal-Content

If Sony is going this far to implement all of the 360's online capabilities I think they should just go balls out make a game where a galactic, pop music, superhero diva saves the world from a giant circle that can destroy the galaxy. They should just call it J-Lo. Make it a trilogy too. Then we can hear all the fanboys, who continue to put J-Lo's influence down while heaping praise for J-Lo.

Leobebes

How about

"Copied"

YourAnthony

@Yonderboy: "Ba-doop!

LMFAO (literally; I'm still laughing as I'm typing this)! That was the best comment I've read all day.

EvoAnubis

I want the sound to be IGN's PS3 team shouting, "BEYOND!!!!!"

EvoAnubis

can the sound be customized? whenever i get a voice mail on my cell phone i got tourettes guy screaming "BOB SAGET!" so i would like to have the same for trophies.

shichi

The Codec call sound would be great.

Now we need to come up with the name for the PS3 equivalent of Achievement Whores.

Trophy Tramps?

Trophy Tricks?

mind in rewind

HEY BITCH! YOU JUST UNLOCKED A TROPHY!

King Seafoam

Wow sony, you have to copy off of every single thing anyone does in gaming. if its successful you have to steal it. Screw you Sony

ChiliC

Has Sony done anything on their own, ever, in gaming? They invented dual analog I guess, but that wasn't used really until the Playstation 2 anyway. They did it cos it looked cool.

GhaleonUnlimited

@ChiliC: hello, troll.

TheIrishNinja

aw, if we can customize em, mine's gonna say "SEGA!" for the fuck of it.

TheIrishNinja

@TheIrishNinja: maybe we should direct him to the nearest bridge.

bangbangblah

@PaddyStardust: That would be perfect.

bangbangblah

@archibaldleech:
Same here. I don't need that crap popping up in my game to tell me I got something that affects the game in no way.

fuchikoma

Do we get to vote on what the unlocking noise is? How's about a really loud, hardcore rock guitar solo.

Amazon_Chris

I have to admit i feel kinda strange that i am so excited by the addition of a sound....suppose its the little things that life better :-p

@Libo have to agree with you it would be cool if we could use our own sounds

Big-Cat

How bout the three tone chime from the PS3 startup screen? The codec call would be fun as well.

crashlanding

Ive seen it be mentioned a few times by people not interested in the trophies that they want the option to turn them off... well, there's already an option under the settings menu that allows you to turn off notifications... that will most likely include trophies too.

exion

The PSP game launch sound would be neat!

But I do like the idea of customizable.

EnigmaNemesis

Have you guys seen the Japanese commercials (and also some of the USA ones) where the somewhat robotic female voice saying PURAY SUTATION? =-P

djricekcn

I don't think deaf people care

Beximus

Customizable sound could lead to funny. First thing to pop in my head was Chappelle's "I'm rich b*tch!"

PipTheLip

"U LOVE THE PS3.. U LOVE THE PS3.. U LOVE THE PS3".. in a infinite loops (and a swirl acomplishment screen would be a nice touch)

abhakam

Would be cool if you could customize it.

FF Level up sound anyone?

Bboboo

Its gonna be a cross between a Wiimote syncing and the 360 achivement noise.

Flowen

The metal gear sound when the ! appears..

IntelSilver

How hard is to the record the sound of $3.3 billion in cash burning?

pottsynz

i hope we get trophies for doing things like downloading demos!

and/or toggling the sound input from "HDMI" to "optical" more than 255 times in succession!

because man, that would be awesome!

108

It will be "Cha-Ching", beatches. Sony knows why! ;)
