Burnout Trophies Are Go, But Not Backwards

Burnout Paradise for the PlayStation 3 has updated again, this time delivering trophy support to achievement-hungry PS3 owners around the globe. Over sixty different trophies are available, spanning both the original game as well as the Cagney and Bikes updates, meaning that Burnout owners will have a ton of unlocking to get done, especially considering this sad news...

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.

Just goes to show, you really shouldn't announce good news until good news actually exists.

Damnit, and this was going to be my way of getting a few quick trophies. Now they're telling me I sat through all those physics demos in the game for nothing. -_-

Well, Burnout Paradise is an awesome game, play through the parts again.

-_-

I liked Burnout for the most part, I just hated how every time I wrecked the car I had to sit through 10 seconds of a physics demo I couldn't skip. It's stupid crap like that that makes me put down a good game.

So don't play Burnout then >_>

You already bought it, Criterion doesn't care

I already sold it back though because I thought I was going to get trophies for the things I had already done.  :-p

On the upshot, the trophies are a lot easier then the achievements on the 360 version. So you won't have to crash as much. =P

EDIT: Just read you sold it. Bummer then.

Why would you think that?  All trophy patched games will require a new game save to earn the trophy.  This is the only way to prevent people from downloading game saves just to unlock the trophy.  Perhaps Kotaku could just publish one big negative PS3 article that details this fact and be done with it. 

 Edit: I guess Criterion promised they would be retroactive.  Don't flame me. 



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

How exactly did you think you were going to download the trophy patch without having the game to start with ?

 

 



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

I was going to borrow it from a friend during lunch one day.  I don't mind popping it in just to download a patch but I hated the crash sequences and just having to sit through short unskippable cut scene after short unskippable cut scene.

They originally said trophies for Burnout 3 would be retroactive
