Do I really want to unlock all of those cars all over again just for trophies? Sigh... yes.
Burnout Paradise version 1.5 has been released as an automatic update over the PlayStation Network today. This is the update that will bring trophy support to the game.
Unfortunately, Criterion's attempts to get the game to retroactively award trophies have been met with failure. Players will have to start a new game with a new save to earn the trophies. Paradise was originally to have been the first game to retroactively award trophies to players.
Here's what Criterion had to say about all this...
Burnout Paradise saves are locked to your profile. We had hoped to use this to retroactively award trophies, but we discovered during testing that this is not possible. You will therefore require a fresh game-save to receive trophies in Burnout Paradise. If you're familiar with PS3 trophies already, you'll recognise that this works in the same way as all other games that have added trophy support post-release.
Also, it looks like the update might not be live in every territory just yet. Despite showing up as a message in the in-game news board, it's not currently downloading a patch when I fire it up. So your mileage may vary.

Still feels like gaming was an after thought for the PS3

With trophies so easy to get in BP, it will be nice when HOME launches and my room has tons of trophies.
My son will be upset when he gets home from Kindergarten and sees I deleted the save with all the cars, but I will get them back quickly. The trophies are so easy, he might even accidentally unlock some when he is just driving around. heh

Ironically I started playing it again when they said it was going to be retro-active so I'd get lots of trophies. Eventually I got about 97%. So after playing alot of that great game I'm told I would have been better off not playing it. Not happy.

Personally I don't care about collecting trophies and I've been waiting for the PSN release anyway but.. I feel for people who got screwed by Criterion's lies.

Well, at least they got trophies in I guess! I suppose if anyone was going to be able to get this retroactive trophy thing working it'd be Criterion or Sony!
Even though I just sank about 20 hours into this about 3 weeks ago, I'm actually not mad to play it again, just like I wasn't for Uncharted. I can always find time for awesome games...

And I've been doing tons of work getting all the cars and events in the hope that when the update comes out, I would have already gotten trophies for those things.
This is the worst way this could have turned out.
I don't wanna start a brand new game.!!!
