Forums - Sony - Why was only one PSN game chosen (patched) to benefit from a trophy induced resurgeance?

Did Sony not see the potential for breathing new life into long released games by adding trophies so that "trophy whores" will buy them? Locoroco, Super-Rub-A-Dub, Lemmings all could have used the boost to increase their install base. Online multiplayer games such as Snakeball, Calling All Cars would have also created added value to existing owners by allowing for a fresh batch of new players to rekindle their shrinking online communities. I sense a huge missed opportunity for profit and I'm disapointed that some of the online games I love have not benefited from the potential upswing in new players. No disrespect to the "trophy whore" community is intended, despite what the term implies. It was used for lack of a better expression. :)

I really think that sony should have incorporated trophies into more games but the past is the past.

SSHD is just the first to have them. PAIN, NovaStrike, and Warhawk are all receiving the update and I wouldnt doubt others will too.

I don't think it is hopeless, but if they want to see any benefit, they would need to correct the omission, before the majority of releases come with trophies. While people are thirsty for them is the time to strike. :) EDIT: Yeah, I forgot about PAIN. and the others SSJ mentionned.



I can't wait to be collecting trophies on Uncharted, Warhawk, and the likes.

Warhawk trophies is what I want.



  

What ssj said.

SSHD was just the first, soon there will be more games with trophies, downloadable games too. Though i think they'll focus more in future title than those who are already there.

I hope they get those trophies out soon.

I think they should just miss out older psn only games and concentrate on new games.



  

I think you do not understand the complexity of creating trophy patches for games which have already been rolled out. It involves a lot of testing and still might create unexpected problems like update 3.40
Its one thing to have it from the beginning (Xbox Achievements) and another thing entirely when you are trying to roll it out to an already established installation base. I think Sony's still doing a mighty good job listening to its fans and we all got to be a little patient.

I understand that there is complexity, but since the PSN games are relatively simple, I think the investment would have been well worth it.

Examples:
Locoroco trophies: Just give one for every 50 locorocos you can save;
Everyday shooter: give a trophy at the end of each level
Flow: trophy for completing a creature.

That can't be that hard to add and quality test in those examples. In many cases it would not have canibalized SSHD sales on a 1 to 1 basis because people who want trophies are willing to buy multiple games in my opition.
