Trophy Research (Missing PS3 Games On Profile)

OK, I've spent the evening taking a longer look at the way Sony provides data, and my early conclusion is that there are some games that will never show up on the public version of your profile. 
 
By public, I mean the page you'll see if you view your profile while NOT LOGGED IN to playstation.com. If you're logged in, everything that the server side knows about will be displayed on YOUR profile, but not other profiles. 
 
That means when I go to... 
 
http://profiles.us.playstation.com/playstation/psn/profiles/GiantBombing  
 
...I see everything I've got, including unreleased stuff like Brutal Legend. But when YOU go there, you shouldn't see BR, as well as a number of other games that have been available for some time. 
 
So I'm trying to compile a list of games that aren't showing. Here's what I've noticed so far... 
 

  • Shatter 
  • The Beatles: Rock Band 
  • Guitar Hero: Metallica 
  • UNO 
  • Digger HD 
  • Bionic Commando
  • Katamari Forever
  • FIFA 10
  • Wolfenstein 3D
  • Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection
  • Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
  • Need for Speed: Shift
  • Guitar Hero 5
  • Prototype
 
Also, Brutal Legend and Uncharted 2 aren't showing up yet, but since those games aren't out, it's understandable. I'm not sure what the Sony policy is for publicly displaying trophies for unreleased games. 
 
If you have other games on your profile that aren't showing here on giantbomb.com or your public-facing playstation.com profile, comment here and let me know. Maybe we can assemble a list and send it off to Sony to help them correct the issue.

I don't mean trophy support here. It'd be nice, but I was really hoping GIantBomb would be able to convince Sony to fix the missing games on the public profiles problem.

@foomfoom: it's safe to say that Trophy Support isn't something to look forward to in the near future.

Guess it doesn't matter now, but I thought it was weird that my inFAMOUS trophies weren't imported but that it came through on some other profiles.

MGS4 doesn't have trophies.
 
 
I don't even care about PS3 trophies on Giant Bomb anymore, but if you can convince Sony to fix these hidden games on the profile page, that would make my week.

The Force Unleashed was patched in August to have trophies. I have a lot of them, but the game doesn't show up. It might be because they were meant to be integrated in the Ultimate Sith Edition, which doesn't come out until next month.

That is really weird as I would think it would make more sense when visiting your "public Profile" to show you what others see.  It sounds like the web guys on Sony's end really haven't thought through all these cases.

@LordAndrew: As if they'd listen to me. I've got a list of things I'd want them to fix before that. But I'm sure it's not by GB's design to ignore their value. Hopefully there will be a reasonable way to circumvent that through the API in the future. The staff have probably already requested this from Sony, and if not I guess it would appropriate to report it along with the invisible games that this thread is actually supposed to be for.

I agree that it's a totally stupid design decision. Tell Sony.

@Damien: It's dumb because it defeats the purpose of having a score if you're not going to count the worth of everything someone earns. I'm not going to bother arguing why it's not a spoiler to know the kind of trophy since it's laughable, but seeing what was done with Xbox 360 Achievements shows they don't care regardless.

How is it a dumb design decision?  And it spoils what kind of trophy is hidden, which may be considered a spoiler by some people.

Games not on the list for me:
 
Heavy Weapon 
 
I also have Bionic Commando, Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection, The Beatles: Rock Band, Guitar Hero Metallica, and Shatter that aren't on my list like the OP suggests.
 
I tried the public link to my trophy list and those games don't show up, which is weird. I wonder what's causing that.

@erinfizz: If you can PM me profile names for people who have played those games, I can shoot them through the system and see if that brings them to us. That'll eliminate the "haven't been played" side of it. 
 
Also, you could try plugging account names into this URL structure... 
 
http://profiles.us.playstation.com/playstation/psn/profiles/GiantBombing  
 
...and seeing if they show there. You should be logged out of playstation.com to ensure proper results (though I think being logged in only affects your own data, not anyone else's)

@Snail: No. It means that some games show when you are logged in that aren't showing up on GB. 
 
@Jeff: Well, I guess that means what I was doing won't work, it would just give a list of games that are maybe wonky or maybe haven't been played. Oh well.

I'm missing FIFA 10 (though that only just came out), and I have some of the incorrect trophies for GTA4 - I both have some which I have not earned, and do not have some which I definitely own. But thanks for the feature, it's really good.

@erinfizz: There is no API. What you see on your playstation.com page (when you're logged out of their site) is what we see when we look at your account. We've pulled in a few Japanese releases (Mainichi Issho), so we know that they're capable of showing up on your US profile page, but that's about all so far. 
 
We see games when they show up on someone's profile page. It looks like games can show there even if you haven't earned any trophies in them, so it's not trophy acquisition that triggers it for us, it's that it's been played.
