In the comments for a post on PlayStation.Blog, a reader complains about other commenters complaining about the lack of trophy support for games like Mega Man 9. "The day will come when you get trophies in almost every game then you will complain about something else ignorant."

John Diamonon of Capcom posts a follow-up comment to the statement, hinting "that day is coming soon." We already know Capcom's contract with Sony stipulate Trophy support for all future titles, but is Diamonon hinting at something more widespread? Considering how obsessed we can be about Trophies, we hope to hear something more official soon. Do you guys think Sony should require all games to have Trophy support in the near future, similar to the Microsoft requirement that all their titles contain Achievements?

i didn't see this anywhere, but if its a repost, sorry!

I think that all titles should have trophy support even if they are lame trophies.

Well I wouldn't go that far but every game should at least have the very basic "game completion" trophies. For games with a SP campaign anyway.

It also boggles my mind that MGS4 doesn't have official PS3 trophies especially considering that "trophies" are already built into the scoring system of the game internally...

I would say that Sony should contract in that any 360 game with "achievements" that has a PS3 counterpart should have an equal or greater number of trophies.

The idea that games on 360 have achievements while on the PS3 have NOTHING pisses me off.

We should be paying less, or Sony should charge the Dev a no-trophie-support "tax". Right now we are getting less for the money (when games look the same, and the other guy gets more little things).

I think every game released in 2009 and onward will have trophy support. Its not mandatory now bc some games are too far in the development cycle to implement them, but that shouldnt be an excuse by next year

I really could careless about trophies.

I mean sure, it does give it a little extra PUSH for me to buy the game, but not enough.

I want replay value, and great gameplay, I don't care about trophies.

I don't think it will be every game in 2009, but by mid 2009 probably. Sony has said trophies will become mandatory at some point and the reason they aren't currently is exactly what you stated - some games were just too far into development already.
