Continue trophy support?

Have trophies become too big of a part of gaming and will continue to see it in the next gens or will they scrap it? Personally, I think it just gives you replay value, but judging on how the VITA... a handheld has trophies and how they incorporated with the PS3 trophies, I doubt they'll stop the trophy craze.

Do you see trophies continuing on the PS4? Do you think they'll be different in some way?

I would be very surprised if they didn't carry over to the PS4.

It would be nice if they had them continue, I really see no reason why they wouldn't incorporate them into PS4. On the other hand, It really doesn't matter to me personally.

I think that trophies will be on the PS4, I just hope that they will carry over what we already have and not start fresh. Maybe even add a point system with the trophies to give us psn dollers or something.jcopp72

I wouldn't mind if they just scrapped them because they have no real value.

I hope they scrap throphies because they give no added value. They only serve the purpose of bragging - mine is bigger than yours.

So instead of wasting time on no-value trophies they should rather focus on adding actual content - that is longer campaigns etc.

As they are now, they're worthless. It would be nice if there was some sort of incentive to earning them like discounted/free DLC, unlocks, or something else.

The only other problem with trophies is the rise of trophy-whoring: Gamers that rush through games, without enjoying or appreciating the game in any way, just so they can brag "I got 63 platinums!" Playing games should be about having fun and enjoying the experience, not getting a game, rushing to get the platinum trophy, selling the game, repeat... I don't think developers pour their blood, sweat, and tears into making a great product so someone can rush through it just for a virtual trophy before tossing the game aside.

It would be dumb of Sony to leave them out next gen, given their popularity. I don't really care, but I'm sure they'll be around for awhile.

Yes of course they'll continue trophies in the next gen. If one company discontinued them and the others didn't, they'd lose a lot of customers because of it.

Yes, trophy support will continue into next generation. I think PS3/Vita trophies will be on the same list/account as PS4 trophies as well.

absoultly, trophies can add more to already fun games because they give you more to do. There is no reason to get rid of them.

I really hope they carry over as well, as already said, no reason to not have them, noone is forcing you to go hunt them but for those who do, they#ll be getting more playtime and fun out of the game (under the condition it is NOT a stupid "Kill 1 Bazillion Enemies / Play 300000 Hours Online / Grind 29389479375937485 Trizillion Kilometers Idiotic grund Trophy, but rumor it has, some enjoy even THOSE o_O )

And no, they won't give away Money with them, that would hurt their business. But Resistance 2 did something clever: It got rid of the Style Points to unlock rewards and instead said "Earn so many silver / bronce / gold trophies to unlock this and that", I'd really like to see more games doing this for it is Extra-Motivation to go Trophy-Hunting, and the idea to also give away some PSN Backgrounds, well, THAT could be realistic, if you have a certain Trophy Level you can get so much stuff.....for example, yoiur first Platinum Trophy would grant you a background / theme with the Platinum Trophy prominently in the background, a special little reward for your efforts. That would really be nice.

BUT they also need a slight refinement for the reasons mentioned above, Sony should right from the start FORBID Trophies which pure and solely existence is to fill Online Servers, like Play 1000 Matches Online, that's just a whack freaking crazy unrealistic amount (Dead or Alive 5 has one of these. Maybe not so much about "Kill so many enemies" if the game throws them in waves at you anyways, but when, a counter beyond a trophy like this would be helpful like 597 / 1000 enemies killed already.

With this little tweaks and help I think they could become way more awesome than they already are in my opinion.

no reason to not have them. hopefully they'll come up with something to add to them as wellAJC3317

Maybe some sort of a reward for getting that plat ?!?

The platinum IS the reward. Why do you feel you need more??? You don't.

The platinum itself tells everyone what they need to know and is your reward for unlocking all the other trophies.

i sure hope they continue with tropheys. why wouldn't they???????????

360, PS3, VITA, Steam, Blizzard games, and MMOs use it I don't see any reason why they would stop now.Legolas_Katarn
