Trophies Not Likely for MGS4

36
BioEye from TheSixthAxis writes: "That's it then. If Konami were going to announce anything big for MGS4, last week was their moment. So after a year, E3 2009 and the Metal Gear Solid week, no trophies have been announced or confirmed for MGS4. If you're still getting your hopes up, then don't."

1 - Phew
i'm glad, was annoyed when trophies was added to gta4 and i had to start again when i was half way threw to get them, so i' m glad it's looking like they wont add them to mgs4 as i've played this perfectly to unlock all the classic things mgs series unlocks after you complete the game.. to do that all again to get the trophies would be annoying lol

They could easily make the trophies retroactive, many titles have done this with NFS: Undercover being one of the more recent to do so.

I think it is a pity that trophies don't seem to be on the agenda considering how popular trophies appear to be.

That retroactive thing with NFS undercover was because the developers had already inplanted them in the game. Online Trophies are always retroactive. And because the Trophies already were added to the game at the release, they just needed a trophy-patch to activate the trophies.

its bs that trophies arent there in the first place. every single xbox game has achievements, even if the game sucks. come on, sneak king had achievements for god sake. it just seems lazy to me. it cant be hard to put trophies in a game.

1.4 - It doesn't take trophies to make this game great
It was great even without them. Sure trophies add to some level of replay for some but for me, I was more focused on the story and gameplay than some digital e-pene enlargment pill.

A more relevant statement would be to compare it with PS3 titles that were patched to include trophies. Mainly because the 360 had it as a standard from the beginning. Then compare the caliber of these companies to Konami. Criterion did it. Idol Minds did it. Not sure of the Developer, but Eye of Judgment got patched. If THAT game can get patched, MGS4 sure can.

1.6 - ANnoyed?
Why? It's not like you have to pay attention to them. In fact, I fail to see how getting a trophy could be an annoyance. I remember playing Gears with my roomie a few years back and seeing my first achievement pop up on the screen. I think achievements, along with standard HDD and a standard online interface, are some of MS' biggest contributions to gaming. I love trophies! In fact I can't wait to get my plat in Resistance 2, Killzone 2, and Infamous.

Considering how Konami handled MGO I don't think you will see trophies for MGS4 until they figure out how to make money from it. Sad but true.

1.9 - Honestly...
...trophies would be okay BUT I'm cool without them. The only reason I'm cool without them is because for me MGS4 is an AMAZING game and I still play it without trophies. I want the bandanna and stealth device just to have them :)

Also I feel like the number of trophies for the types of activities in this game could be massive. I mean massive to the point that I'd be more overwhelmed to see that trophy list than I was to see the SOCOM trophy list.

2.1 - You wouldn't care if they announced MGS5?
Especially if it were announced as exclusive for whatever your system of choice is?

Speaking of MGS5, what is Konami going to do with that MGS4 engine? It's not being used for Raiden's game and I think we can imply that it's incapable of running on 360 (otherwise why create a new engine?).

The MGS4 engine was built specificially for PS3, it probably wouldn't run on 360 without major modfications, hence Kojima Productions building a multiplatform engine from scratch.

I have no doubt there will be future PS3 exclusives from Kojima Productions, as well as multiplatform games, because it's rare to build an engine for 1 game.

Don't care about trophies. PS2 didn't have them, yet there are titles on that system we will always remember.

I just wanna see a new Metal Gear for PS3 after Peace Maker.

3.3 - @Zlatko
I can see how it is easy to make mistake on that name. Stop with the aggression please. His point is that trophies isn't required for us to enjoy MGS4. And I agree.

I personally don't care for the trophies either. It was cute when the first few popped up (like the landmine and one-in-a-million trophy in Warhawk), but after awhile I don't really care for it anymore. I could imagine it adds re-playability for some people though.

It's great if they add it, it's fine if they don't (just hurry up on peace walker so they can get MGS5 started...)

I'm on the fence on this. Not sure whether I want em or not.

I'm a MASSIVE MGS fanboy. I've gone through the game many times including a Boss Emblem run, can't say I actually enjoyed that run (other than the satisfaction of getting that damn emblem)

Being the fanboy that I am, I would HAVE to get the platinum and I seriously don't see the trophies being retro. Then again, MGS4 is still game of the generation for me so it deserves my time again.

Be nice to have a definitive yes or no though.

HAHAH! I'm getting the need to play the game again... SUNLIGHT!!!!

They should tell us straight and say either there will be or ABSOLUTELY wont be trophies, I'm planing to do multiple runs through the game and i would like to know if i should wait or not "it's never fun to do the challenges again to get the trophies".

13 - Though I'd like to get a trophy
for getting my BBE again, I have to say, that it would really annoy me to see and hear the popping in for trophies in this wonderful game. All in all I would appreciate if SONY gave us the choice if we want to see and hear it when we acquire trophies while playing the game. In a game like let's say Motorstorm it doesn't bother me when I hear that chord, but in a game like MGS 4 I would be disturbed by that sound and that trophy info covering my solid eye radar.
