Heavy Rain Not 'In Line' with Trophies

PirateThom - 170 days 11 hours ago

Yeah, that would take a long time and probably require you to end up reading guides and it wouldn't be about the story anymore.

I hope they're creative though, not just progressing in the game.

Its just become an obsession for achievements these days. Where's the fun and all? I truly want to be able to enjoy this game the way its meant to be.

@1.3 - As long as Trophies are there, it gives some users another reason to buy a game, rather than rent a game. A great idea by Sony to add Platinum trophies, they take a hell of a long time to get in most games, which means people are more likely to hang on to their games longer rather than resell them.

With Heavy Rain, they probably will add trophies, although not sure how they would work in a game like this. Maybe find some secret items? Hidden endings?

for me trophies were just for the completionist. At first. Now I have become somewhat of a competionist myself. It sounds stupid But there is no way I would search for something, such as all the shards in Infamous without getting a trophy.

...that aren't so specific as to take away from the story. They could definitely add some trophies and make them a bit cryptic or make all the trophies "???" type trophies. The ones that you only learn about after you've completed a particular action.

If they were smart they would release a trophy patch planned for the game like a month or two later after the game. By then the main people who wanted to play it will have done so and the story aspects won't be shockers.

As for the trophies themselves just make them all secrets so people aren't absorbed by getting them except for the super losers. Those guys won't give a rats about this game anyway to play it UNLESS it has trophies, so may as well make them all secret so us non dingle berries can just enjoy the game without any of them in our heads.

That's just my 2 cents.

they can do it for this. They say each conflict can end differently? Well there you go. You get a trophy for surviving a fight with Mad Jack and you get a trophy if you avoid the fight altogether.
Finish the story with any one character w/o dying and you get a trophy.

This is just me thinking off the top of my head. Trophies can be done for the game.

They could hide the trophies as physical parts of the scenery in the game to encourage exploration. But I don't really care if they have trophies or not in the game.

Anybody that is buying this game just for trophies should be shot on the spot, and have their ps3 taken from them. This game is going to be amazing, trophies or not (though they don't have a choice and have to implement trophies somehow--and not in a patch like the one guy mentioned...at release). The idea above about making them all secret is kinda cool. I'm sure Quantum will figure out some things to give trophies for (not sure really how hard it is to figure out reasons to give trophies, especially with some of the things I've seen that you get trophies for in other games). That being said, I don't see any reason people should be concerned about trophies on this game. This game is just going to be an amazing experience, period.

If there's 50 trophies and a Platinum for HR, it might ruin the experience. I want to play this for the story (duh) and I don't want to be looking through a trophy list to see what I should or shouldn't do, just for some trophies. Sure I could try to ignore them, but that's pretty damn hard. Maybe they could just have 2 trophies; 1 Gold for beating the game and 1 Platinum? Trophies are there to add longevity to a game by adding extra tasks but HR isn't a game focused on tasks, it's a game focused on story.

I'm a Trophy-Beast (level 13 with 11 Platinums) and I LOVE trophies but HR really doesn't need them.

They either need to get inventive or just give them away as part of playing.

What about a trophy every 30 min of playing time and on when you finish the game. Also one for finishing the game several times. They'll come up with some...

the trophies for Flower didn't detract from the game at all, and are just as whimsical and endearing as you'd expect from such a game.

I like my achievements and trophies, but im all about skipping the ludicrous ones. SOrry im only so good at guitar hero and im not going to beat like 5 songs on expert with 5 gold stars. With that being said this game seems like its going to be long, and with trophies based on different actions that means its time to go and get the faq.

I hate hidden or secret achievements or trophies, I can understand when they dont want to give the story away, but you can all ways remove the spoilers with clever wording. There are some games where the majority of the achievements are secret, it makes me wonder what they are there for. I mean trophies are to work harder and get more enjoyment out of your game, but I cant do that if I dont know what I am working towards.

Keep them a mystery. That way, it doesn't detract from the experience. It also encourages multiple playthrough because each experience is different.

I went up like a level and a half when I got my first Platinum. I think you are mistaken.

Edit: I checked on a ps3 trophy site (by updating my Matt Hazard trophies w/o a Platinum and then with 1) and a Platinum apparently adds 180 points (although that seems low if golds are 90).

stewgart - 170 days 9 hours ago

and the value is displayed in the form of levels and percent as oppose to a number score. Exactly the same thing just a different way of representing it. I like trophies better because it feels good to recieve and the noise is music to my ears. I like this achievement system in modern games but at the same time I'm glad the older games didn't have it.

... but when I think about it the older games had a superior system. Instead of getting a trophy, you unlock a cheat that makes the game fun to play through again. I miss the days of unlockable cheats... maybe thats why I love Uncharted so much!

Grow a personality dude. It's like the kids think sales make a good game these days lol.

Shadowstar - 170 days 4 hours ago

If we judged movies only by box office numbers, we'd have to place Titanic as the best film ever made by anyone, and we'd tell people to make Titanic 23 instead of newer, more original films. (I mean, it's not a bad movie or anything, I guess, but it's not the best film ever, and I for one would rather have variety than a million Titanic spin off movies that happen just because other people liked it a lot more than I ever will.) Judging games on sales alone and saying it's worthless to try anything else is just as ridiculous as asking for nothing but Titanic movies, IMO.

Heavy Rain looks like it's going to be really interesting to me, just like Indigo Prophecy/Farenheit was.

I don't think Cage would put anything in the game that would reward players for a 2nd run-through. I remember in an E3 video he said, while there's a ton of replay value obviously, he wishes that people would only play through once, so everyone has one definitive experience that is completely different from the next person.

I have a feeling I'll be playing this like 20 times though haha

@Rhezin

maybe if their was games currently on the ps3 that interest me. maybe just maybe i would care about getting trophies. and the few i got for finishing KZ2(which after i finished i sold it)and VC.doesn't interest me in going back to get the rest. i'm not a trophy/achievement whore. so i don't care. thats why i said J/k.

So u have to like RPGs if u play xbox so much more. I on the other hate all RPGs and got bored of gears 2 really fast. I use my xbox mainly for the better versions of multiplats. Love lbp mgs4 uncharted I mean are they just not ur type of games? Their is such a good variety of good games on ps3 I just dnt get why u say things like only use my ps3 for movies. But if it's cause u only like RPGs then I guess I'd understand cause I know ps3 doesn't have too many RPGs.
