While, yes, trophies do have a myriad of problems (syncing, sluggish interface, not being as good as achievement points...), them not being in old pre-trophy games has nothing to do with Sony, and them not being in even older PS1 games doesn't matter either.
Do Xbox Originals have achievements?
PlayStation Trophies
Concept »
Trophies are an incentive-based system for the completion of various objective in PS3, Vita, and PS4 titles.
sony better shape up with trophies
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Games that were released prior to trophies being mandatory do not have to add trophies. Sony can ask them to all they want but they are not liable to do so. All future games, including downloadable ones, save for PS1 Classics, will have trophies. PS1 Classics will likely never get trophies, the same way Microsoft's Xbox Originals don't." @DanielJW said:
" @quezen: I'm more upset at your awful post format, but that's not really relevant. Tell me why you're upset again? "Because Sony as a company has refused to comment about the future of PSN-titles at all. nor has they said anything about games already released without trophies. Why? because their fanbase are like fanboys, so they never have to take responsibility. "
Does it suck that the PS3 was launched without any kind of achievements? Sure. Does it suck that for this reason, some really great games (Assassin's Creed, Modern Warfare, MGS4) won't have trophies? Sure. However Sony is only to blame for the fact that they didn't release trophies sooner. As for adding trophies for older games, the onus is on the developer.
"no, every XBLA (sega game) isnt a new game, its emulated. SEGA even themselves has said so and thats why some hasn't been up because "they doesnt work properly" today. Its not a new game. "
Yes they are. They add GRAPHICS FILTERS and LEADERBOARDS and ONLINE SUPPORT if it is a multiplayer game. That makes it a NEW release. Not an emulation. You are refusing to see points that are presented to you logically and intellegently. You are becoming the dreaded internet Troll. Please cease this effort to insult everyone who disagrees with you. The point of a forum is to share an opinion and to listen to the opinions of others. You seem intent on shoving your opinion down everyones throat. Trolls are NOT welcome on GiantBomb.
" no, every XBLA (sega game) isnt a new game, its emulated. SEGA even themselves has said so and thats why some hasn't been up because "they doesnt work properly" today. Its not a new game. "The games themselves are emulated, but they're also running in complex emulators that are able to add backend and other features to the game that are necessary to being allowed on the service (like Microsoft's mandatory menu layout and all the frontend) whereas the PSOne Classics are the games being straight-up run in a simple emulator that plays the game as it would if you were playing a PSOne. Please learn what you're talking about before you say it.
Microsoft xbox originals arnt to be confused with XBLA. XBLA however has for ex Castlevania(old ps1 game with achievements - HOW COME?!) and for ex Phantasy star II with achievements.
Xbox original used a diffrent system, it use the chip on the xbox to play older games (if I remember correctly) and isnt intergrated with the achievement system at all, while all emulated/dlc games however works fine.
once again, you make up stuff." @quezen said:

SEGA said, they have the same emulator(not emulators) for every SEGA-game, that emulator could run around 50+ games from the genesis(or mega drive) and for those games that didnt work with that special emulator got "cut". if SEGA could create an emulator that works then sony can also, remember even EPSX or whatever its called can run 99% of every ps1 games today, and its made by one person, surely SONY can do better (or square-enix.).
This notion that Microsoft/SEGA are doing something highly complex is just BS, its sony not giving a shit.
Thats why Castlevania worked fine with Achievements, and other classics from SEGA.
With that said, if you dont care about trophies/achievements then fine. I do, I have the right to voice my opinion. But until Sony doesnt try and copy MS more, I rather not give a shit about the trophy system at all, and just see it as a badly rip-off from MS.

The reason Symphony of Night had achievments and all of that is because it was never coded for release on a Microsoft Console. They could not do an Xbox original due to the fact that it was not on the original xbox thus making it a new release and forcing Devs to add achievments. It is EMULATED on the PS3 because it was a PS1 release a long ass time ago. I swear its like trying to talk with a broken record.
the xbox originals you download are just the old xbox games that run on an xbox360 using an emulation." @quezen said:
" Microsoft xbox originals arnt to be confused with XBLA. "Right, and by that logic, PSOne Classics aren't to be confused with PSN games. Thread over. "
meaning, your old crimson skies disc from back in the day contains the exact same data you would download if you bought crimson skies on XBLA.
the psone classics exist because most ps3's are not backwards compatible, so they could theoretically do whatever they wanted with them when they toss them on the online store. they're not really the same thing.
anyway, saying that sony shouldn't offer a nice feature because microsoft hasn't seems like a fucked-up opinion to have. microsoft has to take the lead on every good idea?
Have I denied it being emulated?
While ps3 can run ps1 games, emulator with added achievement/trophy support is for the better, you could etc make every game 60 framerate and add trophies/achievements.
If "ONE PERSON" can (Pete from the emulator scene), then surely sony/square-enix can.
With that said, isnt FF7 emulated? or is it just luring the console that a "cd" is in the ps3? actually bought ff7 on my pal-ps3 yesterday, gonna get ff8 also later on...
If Sony went back to every developer that made a game for the PS3 before trophies were mandatory the only thing that would accomplish would be pissing off the developers. Because the game was released before the mandatory trophies rule they are not required to do so.
i gotta say this topic started out okay but it is slowly turning into a troll topic.
what is the worst thing that could come from pissing off the developers? are they going to forsake all the money they stand to make on developing games for the ps3? no. are they going to intentionally sabotage the ps3 versions of their games? no. so who cares? game devs' relationship to sony is just business, it's not like they're going to sony's house for christmas dinner.

"And once again, you prove that you have no clue what you're talking about. Yes, the Genesis games that Sega has are running in a proprietary Genesis emulator that they own. There still is, however, new coding in the wrapper menu system that Microsoft requires and added functionality like cheat support (if they wanted) and achievements. Symphony of the Night is all the proof you need that these games are being reprogrammed to an extent - all the CG cutscenes from the original were cut and the music was compressed for the Live requirements.

You can't blame sony for trophies on their ps1 games. Or if you do, do the same with microsoft and the xbox originals catalogue.
And MSG4, you just proved you know nothing about this industry. Its not Sony's fault but Kojima Studios. Blame them if you want to, its their decision, not sony's.
Now be a good kid, go drink some eggnog and go play outside, will ya?
" I just don't get this topic at all. Sony has no ability to force developers to add trophies to old games. They're mandatory now, for all retail and PSN releases, how is that not enough? "They "can't" force anyone but if your biggest game( or one of them ) lack one of the bigger features, then thats an issue.
However, since this thread is flooded with trolls and morons (and sonyfanboys) lets end the topic now, I kind of expected all sonyfanboys to deny they care for trophies and not even ask sony for asking Konami TBH.
Can someone please lock this thread?
When did I call everyone for an idiot ? and everyone is making up stuff? I said one guy was making up stuff, and he was, claiming SEGA used "emulators" when they said thats incorrect because thats why some games are missing because we are using "ONE" emulator for everything." @quezen: Quezen, really? I mean really? Calling everyone an idiot doesn't get you anywhere. Also, why is everyone else wrong? You are saying that everyone else is making stuff up and still you insist that you know what kind of an effort it takes to add trophy support to a game? Where do you get this information from? Can someone please lock this thread? "
Liar...
but yes, please lock the thread so the sonyfanboys can be happy. I couldnt give a shit anymore, I expected this to happend but wasnt sure, but it did.
konami have said that they may still add trophy support. I know I would go back and play it again... in fact I've been waiting to see if they do.

You are in the mind that you are right and everyone else is wrong. That comes when someones mind is focused on themselves and are shutting themselves off from the outside (outside being other peoples opinions). Telling you to start up your brain" is another way to say "open your eyes." We have preseneted you facts as to why PSONE Classics will never have trophies. Yet for some reason you said that we are all wrong with no facts to support your argument. The facts that you presented have been overturned by other facts that the rest of us have presented. It seems to me that you who is living in the here and now. Not a single post that you have made has come across as intellegent. They have all come across as angry. When that happens, you get next to zero support and will get insulted. Tis but the way of the world. If for example the President was at the UN and didnt like a policy and wanted to lobby for it to be changed, he would not go before everyone in an angry manner. Would that get him any support? No. Does he call France a bunch of morons when they dont agree? No. He has an intellegent and thought provoking argument that he presents. He does not belittle everyone who does not agree with his point either. When you learn to do this, and not call people morons for disagreeing, then you will get constructive posts on your thread. Then you will not come under fire.
OH THATS WHAT IT MEANS...
-start up your brain" is another way to say "open your eyes."
oh, so you wasnt attacking me?
then moron in Swedish means "great friends".
Also, every post I make is "angry" but this guy isn't he meant it in a friendly way to start up my brain.
Well thank you sir, im glad you keep it at a friendly level. I also love your argument, that calling someone in the UN for a moron would be a great upset, try ask a leader to finally start up his brain while debating, im sure he will see no problems with it.
