i was wondering, what incentive to devs have to add trophies to their games? i can't see it really increasing sales at all. i guess it makes sense for series games which Uncharted will become. Does Sony push games to release a trophy patch? I suppose it's not all that hard to code for just trophies...

Doesnt increase sales? Sure maybe in a year from now when ALL game have trophies out of the box that might be true. But why dont you ask HouseMarque about the sales figures for SSHD and their two Addon packs in the past month.

I guess bitter sweet news on the Uncharted article. Great to have a set date but sucks we have to wait almost a month stills

This is 100% true for me. I am about to buy this after playing the demo just to get some trophies. If a game had trophy support and was available tomorrow I would pick it up. Right now with so few titles having trophy support it really can make a big difference to the consumer.

I really dont see game sales for previously released titles going up bc of trophy support, at least not to a signficant amount that it will be worth developers to take away time and money they have on projects they are currently working on to go back and patch them up

Again...ask HouseMarque about that. I can guarantee that previously released games would get a HUGE boost in sales figured if they released a trophy patch for them in the next month. Just because of all the people hungry for more trophies and so little games supporting them. Its quite simple economics actually.

Again would it be worth it to developers bc I dont think you would get a whole ton of people doing that; at least not a signicant amount which would justify the costs. You think we will see a huge sales spike in a game like GTA4 with trophies? I thnk most people who wanted that game, already own it. A developer like Insomniac is already working on several projects, namely R&C Quest for Booty and Resistance 2. They have a schedule to meet and have them halt that or slow it down to patch up their old games would throw them off schedule and delay those titles. Its really not an option especailly for R2 which needs to drop this holiday season.

if anything sales for game rentals and used game bins would go up and the developers make NO money off of that. If I am hungry for trophies and an old game that I wasnt interested in getting before had them, that would be my option.

thats a wise move by the makers!

Bionic Commando Rearmed will have trophies. 1942 is being considered as well. Capcom might be coming to their senses.

Forgot to answer your question: BCR will have trophy support in the future. 1942 is being considered.

Sweet!!! I can't wait for this game, I love the simple PSN titles. But how is it considered a patch when the game is not even out yet. I wish Wolf of the Battelfield would get trophy support.

Sorry I got the titles confused. WotB is the one already out that I confused BCR with. Ill fix it. Thanks for pointing that out.

No prob, so WOtV is getting trophy support? Thats awesome too, do you know when. I would be surprised is BC doesnt have trpphy support. I don't see why any game would not support trophys and in game custom soundtracks from here on out?

How is Ferarri's Challange. I see that it will have trophy support? Is is Arcade racer. I much perfer those over sims. Ridge Racer has always been my fav.

Sorry for getting off topic.

All I have found thus far is them saying Bionic Commando Rearmed is getting trophies. And that they are considering a patch for 1942. I dont think Ive seen anything for WotB though sorry.

Ferraris Challenge isnt out yet so I havent played it yet but it looks to be a GT type game (sim). Ill probably give it a rent since it has trophies and if I like it Ill go ahead and buy it.

Awesome. Thanks for the link. List updated! Now we are cooking.

Is it me or does everybody own Super Stardust because of trophies? lol

I wasn't really into achievements for the xbox 360 but for some reason I'm making an effort to boost my trophy collection.

Well it looks like I'll have to get prepared to be brutalized in Uncharted trying to complete it on Crushing. It looks like the trophies are a 1 to 1 match to the 47 "medals" you can earn with the Platinum trophy being the 48th one.

[Idealsupra]

Added the Uncharted trophies to the list(waiting on values). Also added new trophy pictures. Im not sure how many [img] tags I can put in one post....hopefully its not limited otherwise that key will have to be changed back...which would suck because I like the new key.

Also I have a question. I know we will have to do all the things over again for Uncharted. BUT if we already have a game save file could we just go into it and say go to the last level and beat it and unlock the beat it on X trophy? Also can we just use the guns we have acquired in previous run throughs to use for the kill trophies or do we have to actually run through the game completely? Will make it interesting if we can just "spot check" for those of us who have gone through the game already.

Didn't realize PixelJunk Monsters was getting a patch too - guess I'll be picking that up while it's still on sale too.

some of those eden trophies seem very tough.

the 3P one is going to be near impossible unless you ahve 3P and the 100,000 pollen seems very difficult/tedious

Yeah Im hoping once the game is released we get some clarifications on some of them. Such as:

15 crystals in one jump: Does the "jump" include a swing? Or is it just a free fall jump?

100,000 pollen: Is it accumulative throughout the garden while you go in each time to get new spectra or is it ONE playthrough of the garden (meaning you have to avoid the spectra for a LONG time to collect all the pollen). Also is there ANYWHERE to view how much pollen you have collected while playing?(The only time Ive see how much pollen Ive gotten is when I complete the level which obviously doesnt help)

The 3P one: I noticed Dylan said in an interview you have to toss someone back and forth FIVE times. In the trophy description it only seems like you have to do it once...so which is it?

500 pollen prowler kills: Is this one accumulative also? Or is it in one garden? Or is it in one PLAYTHROUGH of a garden?

Also I would love to be able to see how many seeds I have opened out of how many total while Im playing a level. Again the only time I see this is after I clear a level.

Lots of questions...hopefully some answers coming tomorrow! Cant wait!
