I'm probably wrong but wasn't it 70% of FUTURE titles...

The main thing is it's now mandatory and every PS3 game coming out supports them.

No one's disadvantaged, everyone will get trophies from the same titles.

I think it was a ball park figure of past titles.

But nowhere was it said, "70% of titles right now/at launch". That is completely wrong.

Erm i don't think so. If you think it is anything like the Xbox360 Achievements which every game out (from launch mind you) has then you are wrong.

This trophies system is merely tacked on and it shows. One game supports it right now (SSHD and even that is bugged so techincally no games support it yet) with a handful of few titles supporting/supported on the list and you class that every future game title out there will have them.

I bet a few third party developers won't even bother with the trophies.

This 70% from Sony is a load of BS and even you know it Audio.

I'd tell you what is wrong, tacking it on nearly two years into it's lifecycle. It is an utter joke to be said.

This is what happens when you release features too late.

I'd really like PixelJunk to announce which of their games will support trophies. I'm looking at Monsters, especially.

I just don't understand all the fuss about old titles not getting trophies support... you've played the games, you've beat them, move on.
Achievements and Trophies are supposed to make YOU feel you've accomplished something, you've already done that, what's the point?

Oh please, Achievements and Trophies are to show off your E-Penis, nothing else.

The "Oh, I want to have replay value and feel like I accomplished something" is just a lame excuse.

trophies are cool
and what is wrong with getting ur e-penis bigger?

not denying anything here.. i love penis... i love trophies...
though i doubt i can attract any girls with this
tnx got already got a gf before bought ps3... peeewww...

hayy
that was an e-penis ment for trohpies.

check my post

SAY WHAT?!

C'mon, everybody likes penis

C'mon, everybody likes penis

I thought he was saying the real accomplishment was completing the game? Not the trophies/achievements.

Precisely. Taking games from the shelf just to gets Trophies and not for the game itself is pure nonsense.

I noticed some of you played a few PSN games just to get a taste of Trophies, fine, there's nothing wrong with that. But full games? Come on.

While playing 360 games I've learned something about achievements: they're double-edged swords. If you take them nicely, just for the fun of doing things you wouldn't normally do, you get tremendous value from games. Take it up a notch and you're just whoring yourself, losing any kind of fun the game offers.

Do yourselves a favor, pick up those games again if they're worth it, just don't do it do level up over your neighbor.

Capcom: No trophy support for Devil May Cry 4

A poster on Capcom Unity's forums has received an answer to the question of whether Devil May Cry 4 and Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix will be getting the trophy treatment and it is no. Capcom feels that DMC4 already has "its own little trophylike system" and the Puzzle Fighter team has moved on to other projects.

There is a tiny bit of good news though, Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix may have trophies implemented, but it will depend on "what schedules look like and what Sony's requirements are." The only real good news is future games from Capcom will all have trophies, as it has "been worked into CEI's developer contracts as a required deliverable." Have other publishers signed such a contract?

This is rather disappointing, but after a string of such reports, we are not surprised. We are just really hoping SSF2T HD Remix will have support.

Codemasters not planning on adding trophies to GRID

Codemasters is, sadly, the latest developer to be added to the list of those who won't be adding trophy support to their already released titles. On the official GRID forums an administrator has posted saying that they're "currently not planning to restrospectively support PSN trophies - it;s not a trivial thing to add to a game" [sic]. Though this is disappointing, it's not too unexpected. Third party games are the least likely to be patched in. With Criterion showing their contemporaries, hopefully more will decide to rake in the goodwill of gamers by following suit.

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune developer Naughty Dog tells us that a patch to add PlayStation Trophy support to the game will be available by mid-August. Company co-president Evan Wells says that the update has already been submitted for quality assurance testing and could hit sooner.

According to Wells, the patch was "incredibly easy" to implement because the game already contains preliminary support for Trophies via its Medals reward system. He further revealed that these hooks were actually included because Naughty Dog thought Sony would roll out Trophies before Uncharted's November 2007 launch.

As with other PS3 titles getting retroactive Trophy support, Uncharted will require those who've already completed the game to play through again in order to unlock Trophies, even if they had previously earned every Medal. Wells says this is primarily to prevent people from simply using someone else's save data to artificially bolster their Trophy collection. Shame on you for even thinking about it.

After recently contacting System 3/eutechnyx regarding this issue, they have confirmed that they are currently evaluating the possibility of adding Trophy support for the PlayStation 3 title Ferrari Challenge.

The email read as follows:

"Hi,

We are currently evaluating the possibility of adding Trophy support.

We'll keep the community updated with further news as we have it.

Regards,

Ferrari Challenge Admin"

While this doesn't confirm that Ferrari Challenge will support Trophies, it does make it much more likey considering System 3 have stated that they will improve the title based on Community Feedback

2K, the developers of BioShock for PS3, posted an article written by Andrew Rudson (Programmer at Digital Extremes) on their blog.

While working on BioShock PS3, I had the opportunity to be one of the first developers to make use of the new PSN Trophy system.

The entire post is dedicated to explaining the details of being one of the first developers to implement PS3 trophies. We learn the trophies are completed now and in final stages - making sure the trophies unlock when they are supposed to. Apparently, the art team did a fantastic job and they are beautiful.

We look forward to seeing just how beautiful they are when the game launches on PS3 later this year.

The upcoming 1942 and Bionic Commando PSN games are not going to support trophies, according to a statement by Capcom PR Manager Tim Ng. Many speculated after a recent PlayStation.Blog post that the upcoming downloadable Bionic Commando title would support PS3's Achievement-esque Trophy system. Considering how popular they are for Super Stardust HD, we really hoped Capcom would've been able to add these shiny accomplishments into their games. Perhaps they'll reconsider for future titles down the line.

Update: Trophies may be patched into Bionic Commando: Rearmed at some point. However, this isn't guaranteed. According to John Diamonon from Capcom: "Medals are the equivalent to achievements. Basically doing the same things in either version will open up these medals. We are currently reviewing how much work it would take to retro tag save/clear data for trophy support. Certainly though, if it does not require a huge amount of programming time (I.e. money) then we will probably move forward with it."

Question: Trophies on the Ps3?

Answer: We absolutely want to do Trophies on the Ps3, err, we haven't nailed down exactly what were gonna do, but we absolutely do wanna do it, its just a cool element, tis relaly cool, I'm excited about it, really want to follow through with that.

VideoGamer.com: Do you have a message for PS3 owners who wanted the game at the same time as the 360 version?

DT: That message is that you'll get the game very soon and we're going to be including features that you didn't have in the previous version on the PS3. You're going to have voice chat, you're going to have complete integration with rockband.com, you're going to have trophies. We're going to make sure that PS3 gamers have just as great an experience

According to Sony, WipEout HD's continued delay is the result of "many improvements" and "numerous" additional features, including support for 2-player offline split screen and Trophies, as well as 8 reverse tracks, 4 extra ships, and a pair of alternative HUDS.

While listening to the Playstation Nation Podcast we heard that the Uncharted Trophies are coming on the 22nd of August which is just under a month away. Quite a while for those craving for them.

We contacted Naughty Dog earlier for confirmation and one of the representatives responded with:

"Yes, trophies will be released on August 22 if all goes to plan"

I'm sure it will go to plan, Naughty Dog are always on target. With Trophies on the way for Uncharted, i think i'm going to play through the game again just to get the Trophies and level up

Forum post:
There are currently no plans for tropies in Vegas 2, sorry to dissapoint

The patch is coming very, very soon. We get the details:

Ever since the release of the 2.40 PlayStation 3 firmware, PS3 gamers everywhere have been clamoring for titles beyond Super Stardust HD to earn Trophies in. While a slew of new titles coming later this year will offer support for the system, some studios are going back and patching existing games to give players another reason to play through their games again. One of these updated titles will be Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Naughty Dog's excellent island adventure game released late last year.

Fortunately, gamers won't have to wait much longer as the Uncharted Trophy patch is imminent (the exact day is still TBD). To find out what the patch will entail, what we'll have to do to earn these awards and much more, we fired off a bunch of questions to Arne Meyer, senior manager of marketing communications over at Naughty Dog. Here's what he had to say:


IGN: How many Trophies will be available to nab in Uncharted?
Arne Meyer: You'll be able to get up to 48 Trophies in Uncharted. There are 47 Trophies related to what you do in the game—finding treasures, hand-to-hand or gun combat and the like—and the last one is the Platinum Trophy for getting all the other Trophies.

IGN: What are some of the more notable or difficult Trophies that you've added?
Arne Meyer: Well, some of our more notable and tougher Trophies are hidden, so it wouldn't be any fun if we revealed those, right? That being said, I think the Trophies for getting 100 headshots or defeating 50 enemies in a row without dying can present a challenge to most players. Of course, there's also the Trophy for the Strange Relic, which some Naughty Dog fans might find familiar…

IGN: Is there a direct link to the treasures and unlockables that are already in the game with the new Trophies?
Arne Meyer: Yep. The Trophies are tied to the medal rewards which already exist in Uncharted. The requirement to get each Trophy is exactly the same as the one for the associated medal.

IGN: Will veterans be able to go in and nab all the Trophies in a single play-through?
Arne Meyer: No, that won't be possible. It is possible to get nearly all of the Trophies on a single playthrough, but I think you'd have to be very good and extremely thorough to do that. We'd like to believe that some of the more difficult Trophies are enough of a challenge that even the most skilled gamer will have to play through Uncharted a couple of times.

IGN: Will any of them be able to be awarded retroactively?
Arne Meyer: That would have been nice, but it wasn't something we would be able to do. We originally left our save games unlocked and portable so gamers could move them off the hard drive and their existing game elsewhere or show off some of the unlocked content at a friend's house. This type of portability would have allowed gamers to get Trophies unfairly and we couldn't let that happen. To receive Trophies in Uncharted you will have to start a brand new save game without any medals or rewards unlocked.

IGN: Will the update contain anything in addition to Trophies? We happen to be fans of the different rendering modes that you can unlock...
Arne Meyer: Aww, we like the rendering modes too. However, the patch only adds Trophy support to Uncharted. We didn't add anything new. Sorry!

IGN: How long did it take you to go back and implement Trophies in the game?
Arne Meyer: Adding Trophies was a relatively simple task for us since we already had a reward system coded into the game with medals. It took about a month to go from deciding to go ahead with adding Trophy support all the way through testing and releasing the patch.

IGN: Was it fun to go back and give Uncharted a fresh coat of paint, as it were?
Arne Meyer: We definitely enjoyed going back and revisiting Uncharted since wrapping up development nearly ten months ago. Everyone at Naughty Dog has really been looking forward to getting the patch done and out the door. We've got a few people here who are just itching for the patch to be released so they can power through Uncharted and get the first Platinum Trophy ever… well, within the studio at least.

IGN: Do you wish to take this time and formally announce Uncharted 2: The Search for Atlantis? =)
Arne Meyer: Hey, look at the time, gotta run!
