First you got to get a game that supports trophies. Once you done that, to get the trophies you need to do the tasks to get them (i.e. for a say a racing game, you could get a trophy for winning your first race etc) this is a very very general description, hopefully not to vague? :p

Games that support trophies (that I know of include):

Uncharted: Drakes Fortune

Burnout: Paradise

Ferrari Challenge

There are others, but someone else will need to fill you in. Once you run the game at least once it's trophies will appear in the trophies section of the Game menu on the XMB, it will show what trophies you have and what you haven't with descriptions on how to get them (plus there are usually a few secret ones as well marked with ???). I hope that steers you in the general direction?

so best bet is, before I play a game. log into the psn network???

Just set up your PS3 to log you in on every system boot then you don't have to worry about it. Oh and make sure the game you're playing has Trophy support. :p

LOL ok. So for arguments sake, the game Grand Theft Auto 4.

I've finished it, if I sign into the network then run the game..will it know that I've already done most of the trophies or do I have to start again?

I don't think trophy's are "retro active" so you'll have to do it all again if you want the trophy's.

(I think)

Yes, that is correct. To avoid people artificially boosting their trophy count using saved game, you will need to play the game again to get the trophies regardless of whether you clocked it or not.

you have to download a patch for each game to support trophies. i just did it last night for Burnout Paradise. there were 2 patches (idk which is which) but one was 150MB and the other was 38MB. im guessing the latter was the trophies patch. once that's downloaded and installed, you can earn trophies online OR offline. keep in mind that you cant play a game w/o downloading and installing the patches.

Don't worry. there's no need for that.

Trophies are triggered offline, and when you go to the trophies menu it tries to sync your offline trophies with the online profile.

Ah, so that is how it all works..wasn't sure :p

GTA4 has a patching coming up that will support trophies, no date announced.

CoD4, not so much.

Yeah COD4 isn't getting trophies, the developers said Sony left it too late for trophy support so they won't be adding it. So out of luck with that one.

What is the benefit of earning Trophies? I mean, what does the end user get in return?

E-Penis and I guess a sense of achievement.

Once Home is out you'll get 3D Trophies to show off in your space, and I presume items of clothing/accessories as well - That's the only reason I'll chase them. If I get something kick ass in Home for a specific trophy, I'll try get it.

    • Report: iPhone Air isn't dead, and a second-generation model is planned for 2027

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By sphbecker · Posted

      You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.

      This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.
