I was wondering (I guess we're all probably wondering) whether when the Trophy system comes out wheither it'll retro-actively award trophies or if we would have to go back and play the games we've already beaten.

On one hand if they're not retro-actively awarded we get to revisit those old games and play them again with different goals, which can be pretty nice.

But some people might not like to have to do that. I know even if I bought a PS3 game that was also on the XBox I would look up the achievements and try to accomplish them on the PS3... not all of them I'll admit the achievements weren't really there so I didn't really try hard... but some and it would be nice to have those achievements or "trophies" show up automatically.

I wonder first it retro-active trophies is possible and if so if they asked gamers whether they wanted them or not.

What do you guys think should they do what they can to get retro-active trophies or "oh well I'll have to go back and play this game I beat already?"

I dunno. To be honest, I think that it'd be cool to go back and play everything again...

Honestly I rather go back and play old games in order to get the trophy. I think it's funner that way but I don't think it will matter much because as far as i know most games aren't going to be updated to support trophies so it will only be the new games that have trophies. Some games might update tho, MGS4 obviously will and probably GTAIV and maybe some first party stuff.

I hope it'll just scan the HDD.

It might be something similar to when the DS3 came out. Might have to update the game and then poof, we get trophies. Either way though, people will probably replay their old games to get the trophies since I'm sure there are going to be more trophies than just for beating the game.

I doubt a lot of games will support it. Definitely not 3rd party games. MAYBE MAYBE Devil May Cry 4. I'm thinking maybe Uncharted and some PSN titles. MGS4 could be in there too.
