Forums - Sony - Developers have to purchase Trophies?

Seriously why are people suprised by this ?

It's exactly the same as microsoft does except they give you fancy color trophy instead of directly showing score.

They are not paying for more trophies.



A serious misunderstanding of what the dev said.

This is what causes problems for the 3 companies.

I think they can make exceptions in some cases, though, such as WipEout HD.

But I didn't think there was a set limit for point, because disc titles have extremely varied numbers of points.

WipEout HD has the limit of a regular retail game. Sony stated that it has the amount of content as a full size game, but they decided to release it as a download only title. So, it's basically a $60 game in terms of the total points for trophies.

Also, as others have pointed out, DLC can add up to a certain amount of points onto any games, full or PSN titles. I believe there is a limit on those as well, and there might be an overall limit including DLC and the full game, but I'm not sure on that one. (So devs couldn't just release a ton of DLC and make a game have a ton of trophies. Again, I'm not sure on this one.)

WipeOut HD was released on disc in Europe.

Was it? Well, I'm in the US, where it's download only. Regardless, it is considered to be a full game (rightly so, looking at the amout of content with HD and Fury... $30 gets you more than $60 for a lot of games).

I'm not sure about Sony putting a limit to the amount of DLC a game gets, considering the two most prolific DLC heavy games of Burnout Paradise and PAIN.

Not DLC itself, just trophies that come with the DLC. Again, I have no idea if I'm remembering this correctly; it sounds kind of weird, but I figured I'd just throw that out there for someone to either confirm it or correct me.

Yeah, they seem to have put a limit to how many trophy points can be in DLC, but not how many DLC can be released for a game.
