Why it makes sense for developers to support the Trophy System.
Trophy is money for the developers
It makes a lot of business sense for companies to support the new Trophy System. We will talk about that after a brief introduction to the trophy system.
The trophy system may be a gimmick for gamers like you and me because it makes us go through the game and try to unlock all the secrets in order to obtain all the trophies...
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
I am guessing they have to priotize E3 over this, but after E3, there is no excuse.
COD4 even has achivements from xbox. They don't actually have to create new things like Ratchet or Uncharted people do because they don't already have pre-defiened acheivements.
Another thing he forgot to mention. Developers who SUPPORT trophies get respect from gamers and will support future games.
It's gives a reason to build a loyal fanbase and raise their reputation. *cough EA*
Like it or not, Achievements add a huge amount of replay value.
It took Sony awhile...but they have finally enter the current gen.
There is no way in hell am I going to replay GTA4 to earn Trophies. I'm like 50 hours into that game easily and still just about over half way through
Since I am the new Games Blow allow me to take a page from his book "the fake one not the real one"
"Trophy's, outside of a few 3rd party games, will be relegated to Ps3 exclusive games only. 3rd party is not on board with them like Sony wants you to think." Games blow: excerpt taken from the Sony blog
I thought I could play the part the best I could. I actually agree with him, though. I mean, me.
Hrmmrmrmmmmm, PSP trophies. Make them add up to your overall PS3 level. Sony needs to implement this
