PS3 Trophy Question - Blu-ray Forum

Wreck · 08-18-2009, 08:15 PM

Alright, here's an odd one.

So I had one ps3 crash a while back and I got another ps3... I have noticed that since I lost my game saves ... some games when you start them back up update my trophy count for the said game to 0% (Wolverine, Uncharted etc.)

So when playing I re-earn trophies I already got. When I back out and go to my trophy collection though it shows all that I have had. So for instance 76% Wolverine. They are not lost.

HOWEVER ... I only need one trophy to platinum wolverine ... Which is beat the game on hard ... I got tired of trying to beat Deadpool and then my ps3 crashed

So here is my odd question ...

Since "in game" I have 0% ... If i just go through the game and earn my "Beat the game on hard" trophy ... which is technically all I need for the platinum ... I wont get the platinum will I? Since I'm assuming you have to earn the platinum in game as opposed to me backing out and walah there it is?

Anyone else experience something like this and have any advice?

I do NOT know from experience but I am pretty sure you will get the plat. as long as the trophies are synced they count. So if you started a brand new game for the heck of it (instead of a crashed system) and you got one trophy you didn't get originally it should count to the synced total.

i played infamous got a bunch of trophies on good but missed a few non-karma related ones, then got them on my evil playthrough. I still need some but I can't imagine non karma related badges would all have to be got on a single game. i think the same thing applies here. at least i hope so.

definitly let us know what happens

Funny, i was kinda wondering the same thing in a "what if" scenario. When you sync for trophies, doesn't it sync with the data on the hard drive? If so, wouldn't that mean on a new system you would sync and have no trophies? But then would that mean you lose all your previous trophies? lol There are so many questions i have and i know the answers are out there.

I just posted something similar in the trophies thread and was told that if you have a new PS3, sign in on it with your previous account, then sync trophies, and all your old trophs will show up.

The trophies are not sync'ed to your hard drive but to an online server

Ah ok, that's awesome. Thanks for the info, hopefully i wouldn't have to get a new PS3.
