Does anyone understand what is going on with PS3 trophies, or the lack thereof? So far, I've enjoyed the interface (percentage completion, ranked objectives, etc.). But with only Super Stardust HD having them, I have to wonder where they are? Just looking at Stardust, any game getting them patched in will practically sell itself, because people seem to want them.

Uncharted and Warhawk are getting trophies soon.  It is up to the devs to implement it.

Well, that much is good news, I'm willing to get copies of both as soon as they're patched in (I know that most games won't activate retroactively, so no point in jumping the gun). 

I believe Pain is getting trophies soon, as well. But as far as past games implementing trophies, it is up to the developer as thelastguy said. I do believe it was said that starting in 2009, all games will have trophy support.

They need to be more sensible about going about such updates though, the Stardust HD update was botched.  You had to delete your current saved game to download it, but no warning was given that this was the case, so it would just restart the system every time you tried to download it.  It was a hassle to figure out, and I don't like idea of starting over again in all my games, at all.

Wow, I didn't realize that Stardust was bugged; I downloaded it after it got the trophy setup. And yes re-doing games isn't too great. I had that experience on X360, I had about 10k gamerscore, then launched a new live profile that somehow overwrote everything I had before. I replayed some of my better games (such as Oblivion and Gears) but I'm still looking at a lot of titles that I'd like to have the points for, but just don't want to reinvest in (like Blue Dragon or Crackdown). 

A bunch of games will have it soon. Uncharted will have them by or before mid-August. PixelJunk Eden will launch with them on the 31st. Warhawk will have them this summer.

Before you know it, every game you want this fall will have them.

until uncharted actually gets them, then I'll be dandy.

What I don't get is why everyone cries when the 360 copied the Wii's Mii idea. But it's ok for Sony to copy the idea of achievements.

I'm intrigued, haven't got any yet but when Uncharted gets them I will be playing that through again.

Well, we'll see, but I definitely feel a better sense of accomplishment with the gold/silver/bronze/platinum distinction, because you can quite literally see how much you've been able to get through the game. 

I'm ready play through quite a few games again, with Trophies being a added extra. I just think they needed to get the devs to support it months before release. Shows their forward planning if anything...

PS3 Trophies looks really cool. I dont think there as good as achievments but still cool

I think it is a better system than achievements, and im not alone on that point. So now its just for the support, which is coming in so I dont need to worry...

For me it's mainly about future titles, and so far many will support trophies, and those that dont will get a patch later on. As for older games, I can live without trophies for 'em, but older games are getting support too soo... The 'I am gong to get X on 360 vs PS3 because of achievments' no longer really applies...

I think in the end, it's going to be interesting to see how the two competing systems change buying preferences (or don't change them). I know that I used to pick up titles on X360 because of the achievements. What's funny about that is that I don't really care about my Gamerscore (I'm probably a little over 10k), I just like having milestones to work towards; I find that in many cases I'll play a game longer than normal to cross everything off. 

Burnout Paradise is also supposed to be getting Trophies soon.

I definitly can't wait until all future games support Trophies.

The sales of Stardust rocketed when trophies where introduced. However i think the slowness of more games having them and games like Rachet and others saying they will not add trophies has tainted things. Plus the fact that the 360 gamescore has got alot of people hooked, i cant see them jumping whole heartedly into trophies. Well thats how i feel about it anyway.

if you had trophies from the start it would of worked

sony should have made it mandatory for all games to have trophies not just if they feel like it

I don't really care about trophies or achievements or whatever you want to call it... I can be good in one game and playing online I'll show you, but trophies!? who cares!? Maybe wen more games have it I get more interested / excited about it, but not for now...

shalom :)

I don't really care about trophies. As long as they come out I'm ok. All I want is good games.

If a developer really takes the time to think of some creative trophies, then I'll be interested in trying to get them. But if I'm getting a Bronze for beating the game on easy, Silver for Normal, and Gold for Hard....lame.

i have all the stardust trophies so like everyone im just waiting for more games to get them. hopefully it wont take too long for it to get up to steam

Uncharted and warhawk are getting them. I dont have any trophies yet but I have warhawk and might get uncharted. I thin all of the exclusive games coming out should have them. Just wait a little, it was never going to happen instantly.

It would be nice to know what upcoming games will be supporting them.  Not so much from Sony studios as we know that they will but titles from 3rd parties like EA, Acti, Ubi etc

The rollout of Trophies was definitely underwhelming.  Like many things with the PS3, Sony has managed to turn what should be a core feature into a stumbling endeavor.

I am excited for Trophies in upcoming  releases, but in the mean-time, I doubt I will go back and re-play old games when they get retroactively patched for Trophies.

It's just a shame it's not working right yet, because PSN is really starting to look good, IMO.

Just be patient. I cant imagine games not supporting them. Surely it isnt that hard to just use the same achievements as the 360 version and change the code where needed.

It takes time. Trophies are not something they can slap in the games over night. They will get bigger and bigger as time goes on, and soon enough we will have trophy whores all over the place.

I think Bionic Commando Rearmed will support them.

Yeah like I said I think they will be great, and are the best take on the concept we saw many many years ago, but until games support them they mean nothing. And thankfully, games are supporting them, one by one. Mainly all future releases have them, and all games in 09 will most likely have them.

Dont worry, in 2009 Sony is supposedly going to make it mandatory for all games.

"I think Bionic Commando Rearmed will support them.

Sony isn't going to make trophy support mandatory right away. Too many games in the pipeline for this Holiday season and imposing trophy support on those games would most likely delay them. I would say any game released post Spring 09 will have integrated trophy support.

I lost interest when nobody really had them. It got boring

It got boring lol, how long have they been out now? A year or so? No.

Im waiting for more support on the trophie things.
