Prince of Persia Trophy Confusion

PS3Trophies: "On Wednesday we reported that Prince of Persia will NOT be receiving trophies when it hits at the end of the year and we were fairly sure that we could not misconstrue the situation.

We asked Ubi's community development manager, Chris Easton whether the "title would support trophies" and the answer was a short, sharp "no". Meanwhile, Prince of Persia level designer, Michael MacIntyre told Eurogamer that the title would infact support trophies.

At the moment the situation seems a little cloudy to say the least, but we will be sure to get to the bottom of this next week and update you".

so ...

yes and no ?

[Bombibomb]

I think I remember reading somewhere that the PS3 is lead platform for Prince of Persia. I forgot where but I'm pretty sure. They might have trophies in POP.

Why doesn't Sony just make them mandatory?

[Cwalat]

so that comfirms that it will have trophies?

i mean come on...
is it really that hard to implement it ??

now that it's out there i think every single game should implement it before release...

[Yoma]

If you dig for info from the creator of Uncharted, naughty dog told it was not hard to make it. Strange developers are to lazy to boost the sell of their own games

[Yoma]

"Sitting down with Travis McIntosh, our Lead Programmer, I learned that implementing Trophies in Uncharted was a relatively simple task because we had to medal reward system to leverage. He said that since we had medals built into the existing game, the programming team could just tie the existing 47 medals into the Trophy award requirements. Choosing 47 medals during our initial development worked better than imagined because the 47 Trophies, with the appropriate point values for Bronze, Silver and Gold Trophies, perfectly equaled the maximum number of trophies that can be awarded."

Devil may cry someone?

I trust the Developer over the Publisher PR man.

He's surely the one that ahs to deal with the situation, and it is indeed leading on the PS3, so no doubt it will have trophies.

[Time_Is_On_My_Side]

The trophies are mandatory it's just that if a game is too far in development they won't implement it. When a company starts a new game the trophies will be in it for sure. Sony added trophy support a little late so while developers were making games they added trophies. It's just common sense, you'd figure it was more common though.

[GrieverSoul]

I cant believe that they wont support this feature after its been released for so long!
This is called ´´LAZY DEVELOPERS``.

[mfwahwah]

You nailed it. I just want to add that it's not THAT simple to put trophies into a game. You have to make the code for them, then spend MORE time testing them than making them. That time can be a while, depending on policy and whatnot, so many developers (probably) just don't have the time to add them with their schedule and resources.

In the near future though, trophies will appear everywhere, just don't worry about them now (WORRY ABOUT MGS4 THOUGH, THAT'S NECESSARY...) :P

[tonytouchx]

nah i doubt it its that hard,but then again who knows!?

[Cwalat]

yeah.. comon, i mean if we think of the development schedule then implementing trophies is a drop in the ocean so why not ?

[tonytouchx]

yeah true that game doenst even come out yet,so i dont see a problem why not

[tonytouchx]

man all i know is to many good games coming out and im going to be broke.lol

[10YearFlop]

This game will most likely be another Ps3 exclusive

[10YearFlop]

Therefore,the Xbots are owned once again

[ape007]

the ps3 controller is a bit better than the 360's for pop

having trophies will confirm my ps3 version purchase

if it doesn't

oh,long time thinking

[Meus Renaissance]

There is no reason why it shouldnt support Trophies

[ICUP]

The beginning of 09 all ps3 games should have trophies as mandatory.

[Kappa Mikey]

i hope this game has trophies

[ape007]

sony

I wanna tell you one advice that you may already know

a lot of people just chose 360 version (not for a bit better graphis or worse,most of them don't know what's the hell is AA )because of achievements

it's so addictive to have something in your own,privet profile that builds up with you in each game and show and compare it to friends and have more replay value thrown in the game

you see,I finished cod 4 on veteran,bioshock on hard an uncharted on hard too to get these achievement and had a heck of an experience

getting the mile high club achievement in cod 4 is a defining moment for me,cause it tested my skill,my hunger for completing something

[mfwahwah]

They know, that's why trophies are going to be mandatory soon. It's too late in most dev cycles for this Fall.

[renanbianchi]

Well, i will be pretty simple. If it has trophies. I buy it. If it doesn't, well, You lost a costumer.

[Firstkn1ghT]

Must suck to know that not every game is going to offer trophies. If every game on my 360 didn't offer achievement points than I wouldn't care to much about my gamer score. I like knowing that every game that I have ever played on my 360 has racked me some points.

[Kyur4ThePain]

And that's why you'll never be a real gamer.

[PirateThom]

I don't play games, I play achievements.

How lame.

[Firstkn1ghT]

Read comment #9 and #10 for my rebuttal.

[Bubble Buddy]

Number 9 and 10 has more than one console...They claim to buy the 360 version if the PS3 version doesn't have trophies.

[Grassroots]

I could care less if it supports them it won't make me hesitate from getting this amazing looking game.

Can't wait for it.

Trophies are nice though.

[gnothe1]

for the guys up top that said the PS3 was the lead for this game, your wrong. the 360 is the lead platform for POP.look at this video an at 14:30 he says we lead on 360 were playing on the PS3 an we built on the PC. the version you saw them playing was the PS3 version but the 360 IS the lead platform for this game!!

[RAF-TECH]

totally.
only like 5 games have em..
and how many games are there?

what's the point...

[REDZEV]

this is just another example of how piss poor and half-ass Sony has done things this generation. They knew early on that microsoft was going to implement a gamerscore/achievment system but didnt seem to care then or worry about doing anything of that nature with the POS3. And now 2 years later there trying to rush out their own half-ass "TROPHY" system which not every game will support it is truly sad and lame. If your going to Implement these kind of ideas and be succesful with them they need to be present day one when you launch your console not half way through a consoles life cycle.

[0ldb0y78]

So if I were to use your logic that means MS is on a downward spiral while Sony is building momentum... What's wrong with that?
