What do you guys think it would defo add more value to the legacy titles like the PSP games I know trophy's aren't everybody's cup of tea but it would add another layer to replaying some of the older titles.

I would hope so....id personally be more inclined to subscribe to that tier if they did

 

[kingfey]

It will be a nice feature for trophy hunters. But that would be up to Sony.

where's the poll?

I read they worked on a system that can retroactively add trophies to old games without much work at all so hopefully so it just adds more value in replaying the titles.

It would be cool but also I dont want it an excuse for some games to not make it into the library

Misclick.

Has everyone forgotten the PlayStation Classic at this point? Not expecting much for the legacy titles based on that fiasco.

PlayStation Patents the Ability to Add Trophies to Older, Emulated Games - IGN

Sony has patented technology that could allow older emulated games to be retrofitted with trophies.

I'm not holding my breath…. At all

 

[BadBurger]

I hope so. Publishers do it for remakes and remasters they put on Steam, Sony should be able to do it too.

 

[Portugeezer]

Due to the number of games, I wouldn't think so...

Unless they're basic trophies such as "beat level 2", "beat the game", etc.

 

[Unknown?]

People wanted them to get rid of trophies when they did it for PS2 games on PS4.

 

[Dick Jones]

I want to platinum MGS, Syphon Filter Trilogy, Tomba I&II. No pressure lads.

 

[Business]

I expect them to do the bare minimum so no.

No, Sony doesn't like investing in the older stuff. It would be cool to see though.

 

[ZehDon]

If the title had trophy support, I'd expect it would still work as part of this service.

If the title never had trophy support, then no, Sony will absolutely not re-work the hundreds of titles via emulation to add this in. They attempted this with the limited Star Wars titles, and I'm guessing it was too hard or didn't make them enough money to justify the work.

 

[Griffon]

You don't need trophies to enjoy good games.

 

[dotnotbot]

I would love that but considering that they will now want to focus on quantity (that's what really sells all the subscriptions) then chances are very low

I agree. Adding trophies takes a considerable amount of resources. Some publishers might not want to invest the time and money to do this..

I don't think anyone wanted Sony to "get rid" of trophies for PS2 games on PS4. They just wanted Sony to make trophy support optional. Let the publisher decide whether they want to put in the extra work, rather than having Sony force it on them. That's the reason why companies like Electronic Arts and Ubisoft never made any PS2 games available on PS4, while they approved multiple original Xbox games for Xbox One.

That was a much more limited product, that didn't have the ability for users to add their own games (well, not officially).

Digital downloads for contemporary hardware are a whole other ballgame. If there's an opportunity for publishers of old PS1 and PS2 games to make easy money off of those games, then they'll likely jump on it...as long as they aren't forced to rejigger their games with unnecessary developmental hassles.

I would like to hope so. They've already done so with PS2 games on PS Now.
