Microsoft's Gamerscore Blog team has given word of some amendments made to the Xbox 360's achievement/gamescore system. Most notably is the "250 incremental Gamerscore" on top of the standard total 1000 achievements available from a retail game and the 50 point incremental points available for Xbox Live Arcade games. The incremental scores of 250 (retail game) and 50 (XBLA game) can come from paid or free add-on downloadable content. Hmm, could we get an additional 250 Gamerscore points for playing through Oblivion's Shivering Isles? Would be a nice addition to the expansion.
From Gamerscore Blog: With the ever increasing craze and excitement around Gamerscore and Achievements, we have recently worked with our publishing partners to implement some new policies for new games coming out. Here are the basic rules: 1. All regular disc-based games MUST have 1,000 Gamerscore in the base game. This means that any consumer who buys a retail game will have the opportunity to unlock the full 1,000 Gamerscore without having to pay for any add-on content. Note that a publisher may decide to deliver a portion of this Gamerscore via add-on content, but the add-on content will always be free to the consumer. 2. Game publishers will have the option to deliver another 250 incremental Gamerscore on top of the 1,000 via add-on content from Marketplace. This add-on content could be either free or paid. So if you complete a game and earn the full 1,000 GS, you could by getting new add-on content earn up to a total of 1,250 points from a game. 3. Xbox Live Arcade games will operate in similar fashion, but given the size of these titles they will allow you to earn up to 200 Gamerscore from every game and up to another 50 points from add-on content.
