trophies would not be hard to put into the older games considering that they are the same as the achievements in the xbox360 games just without points instead trophies. so all they have to do is just have one big download in the playstation store. download if u want

there was a couple titles i bought for my 360 just to get trophies it makes the game more interesting if you ask me if it wasnt for achievements i wouldnt play madden season mode or even call of duty offline man if i knew trophies were coming i would have never bought battlefield for the 360

In my personal opinion, the trophies for older games would be a great idea.

First of all, by throwing in trophies for older games, it wouldn’t just make me play my older games. It would also lean me towards buying an older game to run through a couple times. I thought the Xbox 360 was great because I was so crazy about the achievements. It was so much fun reaching for those goals and watching the “Achievement Unlocked” pop up on the screen.

I believe the older games could benefit greatly with trophies. I think people would buy more of the older ones just for the trophies themselves, everyone benefits.

So, there it is. Trophies being added into all PS3 games would make me throw my 360 out the window for sure.

EHT is right, Uncharted IMHO is one of the best PS3 games to come out so far. Uncharted and Ratchet and Clank are the only ones I’ve played through more than once on the PS3.

Maybe trophies in single player games since they lack online capabilities? But Uncharted is just so good with or without achievements it’s a great game to play.

I want trophies for multi platform games, to behonest I lean toward the 360 version of games just for the achievments. To me they add a little something when they are done right, liek the achievements in Ninja Gaiden are pretty good, the ones in GH3 are horrid.

I gotta agree with Nostars : “Trophies would give me a reason to replay games like Resistance and maybe even Heavenly Sword.”

This would give me an even greater reaason to drop some cas on games like Uncharted that I havent had time to play just yet.

I personally would like to see Trophie Support added to the older games. Not only would it make me want to pick up the games I haven’t in a while and give me a new reason to play them since I can’t really afford to keep buying all the new ones coming out.

Now I am no Programer or claim to understand what it takes to put in trophie support but it isn’t like they have to rethink any of the trophies or create a whole new set of ideas. All they have to do is take the 360 Achievements and make them compatible with the PS3 system buy changing some code around and then slap on a picture to represent a trophie. I wouldn’t think any of the older games deserve the kind of support for the kind of trophies that HOME will get.

I know the Values of the trophies are different but it isn’t like they need to change the Action or the even the Name of the Achievement/Trophie. I believe the hardest part will come with making the 360 Achievements compatible with the PS3 Trophie System. It is too bad that Sony probably didn’t make it easy enough where they created a system or program where the developers fill in a few boxes of text such as…

- Name of Trophie
- Point Value/Color of Trophie
- Action Taken to get Trophie
- Trophie Graphic

and then let the program compile the info into a file that can be added in a patch. The sad thing is I know that buisness and $$$ are all that matter to the developer suits because once they have your $$$ and the game works it’s on to new money makers. I wish the suits actually had a passion for the games instead of just $$$ that way they might think if I was playing this I would like if they added this feature and it would make it into some of the older games.

P.S. I am very suprised Insomniac isn’t going to add trophie support to Ratchet and Clank as they did some amazing stuff with all the Languages they supported and even added a different Ratchet to the Japanese one. If any of the developers were going to do it I would think it would have been insomniac.

I have to agree that the decision to implement should clearly rest with the developers and in doing so they have an opportunity to send a message to their client base. Whether it is difficult or easy to add trophies is irrelevant. At the end of the day, those that take the time to add them will reap the rewards of continued support from gamers. Those that do not will go the way of Valve. I also agree that at the end of the day it is not a big deal … but clearly the last 3 days worth of Super Stardust game play and my purchase of the DLC have been for one reason only! TROPHIES

True dat.’
Then again, I’m a bit upset that I won’t be getting any bang for my REALLY REALLY old buck, but, eh, who cares?
Certain games like, for example, say, “Grand Theft Auto IV” should have trophies implemented, or “Metal Gear Solid 4.” I mean, the developers over at Konami with Kojima are working on DLC for it; couldn’t they implement a trophy system supported by the PSN [yes, I know that MGS4 already has an award system]. And apart from the fact the GTAIV doesn’t play on my PS3 [for ore than a minute and a half], I do believe that the game has DLC coming out for Xbox 360. Surely their PS3 team expertises could come up with something.
Sure, if you read through this the first time it may seem hipocritical, but they are both currently working on their own game, and they don’t have “definate” dates for DLC (Xbox 360 Exclusive DLC got pushed back to late Winter/ early Spring ‘09), so why not?
…
The really important thing here is that Sony should focus on getting their hands a bit more dirty, not the devs. I can’t listen to music while in game, but the feature works if the devs implement it. I don’t think a lot of game devs are going to implement that feature, even with the creation of trophies. Sony can definately have a feature where music plays in the background of a game. However, browsing the internet in game is a luxury, and I do not want it, because from previous experience, listening to music and browsing the web can freeze your PS3 if you do it for anywhere inbetween 1-3 hours without giving your PS3 a break and, not to mention, while you are saving images to your HDD also [embarassingly, I was putting album art on my Music when I could have done that on my PC in seconds]. Then again, these features will eventually be put into the updates by Sony, so I shouldn’t really be complaining.

LOL thos is acually laughable.

You guys said achievements were a pointless system with no benefits, BUT the second Sony blatantly directly steals the idea and trys to implement it

you all cry foul that the old games would not great this great “new” system. lol absolutely hilarious
