Sony Pulls "World's Fastest Platinum Trophy" Game From PSN

Personally i don't care to buy it but what was the harm in it?

A Platinum Trophy in 20 minutes ? If its that easy - it should not be Platinum..or even Bronze for that matter.

Good. Wanting to sell their games based on their trophies instead of quality deserves punishment. Platinum trophies should be HARD to get or there's no point to them. Its a bragging rights thing but if people want to brag then they should work for it. I remember when people said "I've 20 platinums" and I thought they were serious gamers, now with Telltale games offering beyond easy platinum's and games like these, when someone says the same it means close to nothing

I want to say that this is really dumb, but I once played through Terminator Salvation for a platinum trophy. Although, at least to get that one I had to muscle through a broken, awful game on hard mode.

I thought Sony had a rule that only full-priced games could offer platinum trophies.

Sony is headed towards turning PSN into Steam or mobile marketplaces with these kinda "games." Notice they only asked dev to change names and descriptions but it'll probably come back afterwards.

Sony already have their classification and vetting process screwed up in not assigning plats based on a rational of, say, length or skill. Games like Resident Evil 4, Outlast, SOMA, Beyond Good & Evil, Quantum Conundrum, Hard Corps Uprising and some other difficult PSN games with no plats but trash like this gets one because they paid more money to Sony or whatever the actual reason is.

Here's a thread with more examples of actual games with no plats: https://forum.psnprofiles.com/topic/34035-what-games-deserve-a-platinum/

Way to devalue what little merit the system has remaining in the first place.

> A game that promised the "world's fastest platinum Trophy"

> you could earn its platinum Trophy in under 20 minutes.

20 minutes? Psh, when I saw the title of this article, I thought it was about Aabs Animals. That one lets you get the platinum trophy by leaving the game running for 5.25 minutes.

Can somebody please explain why a game like this in on the PlayStation Store in the first place? We are seeing more and more shit in the past months e.g Firefighter Simulator that Tiger shite.

Well, I guess it took long enough for someone to realize how easy it is to make money by catering to the retards who play games only to collect trophies.

I try to finish a game first without looking at the trophies. If I liked a game, trophy hunting gives me a good opportunity to experience the same game in a completely different way. As some game devs intend to do, a well-designed trophy list can add an extra dimension to a game.

i admit i do care for trophies a bit. i think they can (sometimes) provide a nice additional challenge by doing certain action you otherwise wouldn't think of and prolong a game's life and replayability. but i always care about the game 1st and i would never buy a game that doesn't look fun to me just to get more trophies. in fact the days when i tried all genres is long gone (ps2-era) and i only purchase a few certain games each year of which i know they fall into my genre or sound exciting enough (e.g. this year i only purchased darkest dungeon and prey so far). when i really like a game (after i played it through a couple of times) i try to get platinum, but if it is too annoying to get, like spending an enormous amount of time grinding or playing an MP i don't like or (worst-case scenario:) a trophy is bound to driving a vehicle within a certain time then i stop to care about it.

On the other hand if i like that specific type of grind i might just do it. RE Revelations' Raid Mode had you do an insane amount of kills for a trophy, which took a long time, but since i enjoyed that mode it didn't bother me.

In the best case trophies have you doing something you wouldn't otherwise do, but something that is weirdly fun to try. Like cutting off a Necromorph's arm, impale him with it, make him fly 20m and stick to a wall. Though this might be a bad example since i did that all the time to conserve ammo, but you get my point.

Damn it. I just purchased a PS only so I could get that trophy.

Why do people care about trophies or achievements, its kind of pointless. I mean i would understand if you collected, like 10 platinum trophies and Sony offered you a free game of your choice as a reward or something like that, then there is an actual point to collecting trophies.

Never really cared about Trophies and Achievements, but I understand why a lot of other people are addicted to piling them up. The easiest Platinum's I've come across are the TellTale games. I played the Batman game and got the trophy in probably 4-5 hours of gameplay. Same with Game of Thrones, Tales from the Boarderlands, etc. At least some of those are enjoyable to play.

Trophies are a waste of time. I could care less about them.

I never played for them before achievements were a thing and I don't do it now.

Only thing I ever use trophies for is proof that I beat the game and I usually start on the hardest difficulty available from the very beginning so the stacking trophies prove that as well.

Outside of that I view them as garbage fluff.

I used to go all in on trophies playing all sorts of trash and kids games for the easy platinums. I'm so glad I got over that because I wasted so many hours playing junk and grinding trophies that could have been spent catching up on real games.

If I hadn't wasted all those 100's of hours maybe I'd not have a triple digit game backlog lol

That sucks
