GTA4 Getting Trophies!!!!!!!!!

this is madness i really expected nothing from this game. it looked as though rockstar had givin up on gta but looks like things have changed. i always loved gta but never got into gta4 but maybe this will get me to love it

im still shocked i never even heard an announcement and now suddenly there is a trophy list for the game

ur 100% this is legit? Not that many trophies. Myzz617

51 trophies isnt many?? thats more than wipeout and uncharted have. more than the eye of judgement will have. its also on n4g now and the list is appearing on other sites so its looking good.

51 trophies is a lot

cool...I have a question:

If I have already done some of the stuff I need to do to achive a few trophies before I installed the update...once I install the trophy update will I automaticly get the trophies I deserve or will I have to replay it if I want the trophies??

I think this is the question everyone wants an answer to!

If Burnout Paradise and Uncharted are anything to go by, it looks like you have to start from scratch!

I really hope I dont have to restart...I have already played through it's story mode for like 26 hours....I'm not restarting!!!!

Yea, reason for me to restart GTAIV and beat it.

I've been relutant to complete the game cause I knew Trophies were a possibility. Yay~

Well unless your within four hours of completing the game, you'll have to play through again anyway to get the 'complete within 30hrs' trophy.

...tragic...

So they copied the 360s achievements and passed them off as trophies and people are getting excited? Just wait for an official Rockstar announcement.

Offline or Online trophies ?

i loved this game btw most realistic GTA ever

I believe Burnout's trophies ARE retroactive. Uncharted however was not retroactive which didnt matter to me cause I had to beat the game on hard and expert anyway and doing so I got all trophies thus a platinum. So when is GTAIV getting trophies!?

Nope.

I dont see why the 360 acheivements cant just be trophies. There is NO need for developers to design two sets of trophies...at least for me I dont care.

But I understand you are talking about how legit the articles are. I am sure they wouldnt just make it up and throw it out there without some kind of credibility

until rockstar makes the announcement i'm a little skeptical.whodeysay85

Yeah, no kidding.

This isn't official at all, so don't get too excited.

Nope.

Oh yeah I just saw on PS3 trophies.com that its not retroactive despite Criterion saying they would be. I hope Bionic Commando Rearmed gets retroactive trophies

I actually prefer the trophies not be retroactive. Gives me more reason to play through a game again other than for pure enjoyment. It's like free new content.

Yeah I see your point, it was that way for Uncharted with me. But to have to do something hard as hell and then to have to go back and redo it...meh not for me. But that only means anything if i busted my butt off to get something then have to do it again for a trophy...i like trophies

Are these trophies retroactive? Because there's no way i'm restarting this game in a long time to come.

Yeah that's all I meant, it was to highlight the legitimacy (or lack there of) of the article. The achievements are great and it makes perfect sense to port them over.

And Burnout's trophies are NOT retroactive - to the person saying they thought they were.

Why do PS3 only owners care so much about trophies??

cool.

Retroactive trophies are impossible, Criterion tried with Burnout and said it cant be done. EVERY patched game with trophies will have to be restarted... just be happy youre getting them trophy fiends. Im about 80% done the story mode (according to buddy whos played through it all)... this has been since release, i bought it midnight and have played it on/off.. ill wait until trophy announcement before finishing it, even if i had no plans to do so any time soon anyways

it has been pretty much 100% confirmed that psn trophies on the ps3 CAN'T EVER be retroactive. criterion locked burnout game saves so that they could make their trophies retroactive when they tools from sony to make them. they ran into issues and found that it was not possible for them to make the trophies retroactive. now if the game save is locked to the account and at the time criterion were 100% they could be retroactive but when they looked into it found it wasnt possible then thats enough proof for me.

criterion are 1 of the best devs this gen, if they cant make the trophies retroactive (even to they prepared in advance to make them retroactive) then its not possible to be done.

back on topic though now that we know (if there even is a patch) that they wont be retroactive. word is that rockstar want to release the patch around the same time as the release of saints row. with the release of this patch people like myself will be glued to gta and wont even bother looking at saints row until i have gta4 completed (why? because im a trophy whore) with so many people actually owning gta and so many trophy whores this will definetly hurt the day 1 sales of saints row because many people just wont be bothered at the time because gta will have trophies.

saints row is released in 2 weeks from today so hey it might be possible so keep your fingers crossed. since there is already a completed trophy list along with the icons for every trophy aswell as them knowing which are gold silver and bronze makes me think the patch (if it is real) is almost complete.

just 1 thing to point out to ye. although the trophies are a lot like the achievements for the 360 the icons are different. i dont own the 360 version but i can remember looking at a friends achievements for the game and they were black and gold icons and the kill a rockstar dev online had a big gold R in the middle. the icons for the ps3 trophies look a lot different.

why would someone go to the effort of making 51 little icons for each and every trophy just for a joke?

To bad it doesn't make the game good ..420Token420

Unfortunately thats true, I really cant be bothered to try and start this game again, By the time the patch comes out LBP will probably be out already so I'll be busy with that:)

I think the reason why Rockstar is putting trophies on the PS3 is because the 360 is getting the exclusive DLC this fall and to make it up to us PS3 owners, they probably will add these trophies with a patch the same time the DLC comes out on the 360.

Thats possible, I didn't even think of that;)

Now I would be able to go out from Roman's apartment and play this game.Rocksta-R

Haha.. now this made me laugh.

thats soo cool

Hmm.. sounds awesome, but I need a link.

Oh, I didn't see the link there; thought it was part of your sign. :lol:

Good thing I haven't played it in forever, nor have I attempted to play the story. Online's been a blast off and on, but this should really give me a reason to play through the story and accomplish just about everything the game has to offer.

So many good games this Fall; they better hurry up and give the patch or else GTAIV will be back on the shevles while i'll be playing Dead Space, R2, Fallout 3, LBP, and bunch others..
