Konami issues statement on MGS4 trophy patch


Recommended Posts

Ever since the trophy system was introduced in July of 2008, fans of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots on the Playstation 3 have been asking Konami and Kojima Productions to patch trophies into the game. However, both have remained silent on the issue until now. In the latest Kojima Productions podcast, Sean Eyestone issued the following statement:

Just to address one issue that we've been getting a lot of comments about. And this is, of course, about trophies.

I just wanna tell everybody out there right now that your voices are being heard and that we're not ignoring you. We hear everything that you are saying. It's just that we can't say anything just yet.

But as soon as we have something to say, we will announce it. So, if we can just ask everyone to be patient, we will give you an answer. But right now we can't say anything. So we just ask for everyone's understanding with that and just ask for everybody to remain patient and we'll let you know.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots was released exclusively for the Playstation 3 on June 12, 2008. Trophies support didn't become a requirement until 2009. Still, many developers decided to patch it in their games, which pre-dated the feature, as a courtesy move to their fan base. With Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots being one of the best-selling games on the Playstation 3, Kojima Productions should reward those who bought their game.

Sounds like you trophy ###### will get your way... To be fair I'd probably play through it again if it got the patch.

Excellent, be nice to have trophies for MGS4 and will give me motivation to play it all the way through again :laugh:

I won't play MGS4 again until a trophy patch...I'm not the best at MGS anyway. I need to adjust my playing style to suit MGS more.

MGO numbers will shoot back up, no doubt. Still won't buy the extra maps though....too expensive IMO.

It's far too late now.

Why? What's wrong with adding it in, you realise that with the likely Slim and price cut that there will most likely be a few more customers that may wish to purchase the game.

I for one would play it through again for the trophies, I thought it was a great game, although I know your hatred towards it and it's story telling sequences.

Yeah I doubt this will really encourage people to play the game again, unless you are a hardcore MGS fan and really love trophies.

It's great for new buyers because MGS4 is like a must buy game for the system.

Where's SoniqStylz? I need to hold his hand!

Our dreams, dreams are coming true!

No doubt they would be stupidly hard though, I ain't going through the game in 5 hours with no kills and not being seen for the Big Boss Emblem, and most likely trophy, lol.

There should be only one trophy for this game, and it should be to beat the game without skipping any cutscene. Most people would die of old age before ever getting the trophy though...

I want to play this game again but I'm waiting for the trophy patch. Hopefully they will release it soon.

Yay! I want trophies now!

Thing is, I need to play the others first. It's a very good game.

Yep, I'll definitely give it another play-through (if not more) if trophies are enabled.

Ok. Now just release it for 360. GOOOOO!!

Not going to happen. As mentioned the new MGS will be multi platform, but 4 seems like it is staying on the PS3 :)

Figured it was better not making a whole new topic for a supposed bit of news/rumor.

Thus far, the most significant release on the PlayStation 3, has been none other than Metal Gear Solid 4. The title released just before trophies were brought to the console, and fans have been begging for a trophy patch ever since. The new "Greatest Hits" packaging for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is currently hitting retailers everywhere, and the rear of the game case offers much hope for trophies finally being enabled for the PS3 exclusive.

While this isn't a confirmation, and we have seen some mistakes on game cases in the past, it certainly offers a glimmer of hope for a MGS4 trophy patch.

On the rear of the new MGS4 Greatest Hits edition case reveals ? as seen on all PS3 games ? a short list of PlayStation Network features available in the title. The list shows it as having online multiplayer, voice chat and? trophies!

Could Konami be planning a stealth trophy update for Solid Snake and crew? We've fired off an email to Konami but we've yet to hear anything back at this time. We'll be sure to update you if there is any official confirmation or outright denial.

We sure have heard this before, but it would be great if it was true for once, lol.
