'allow users to set which trophies are visible''

Why would you want to hide trophies? I suppose if you play Hannah Montanah the movie...

Goro4666d ago (Edited 4666d ago )

The feature seems pointless to me, i think Sony should just allow users to delete 0% completions like Xbox achievements.

President4666d ago

Their trophies will still show up on websites that track them. No worries cheaters, we will still be able to spot you.

Army_of_Darkness4666d ago

Useless feature if you ask me. Only because i barely ever bother looking at my trophies...
Im begining to really dislike going to the ps store cause it seems to get slower and slower after every update....

abzdine4666d ago

great improvement, especially the wifi transfer!
thumbs up sony

ShinMaster4665d ago (Edited 4665d ago )

You can hide those 0% Trophies now...

SeraphimBlade4666d ago

It'll be a pretty handy feature when Senran Kagura Burst hits North America, assuming you can use it on Vita...

Goro4666d ago

It's been available on Vita for a few months now.

KonsoruMasuta4666d ago

Senran Kagura Burst is for 3DS exclusively. The Vita already has a Senran Kagura game. Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus, it was never released in the west though.

KonsoruMasuta4665d ago

Disagrees for stating the truth? Wow.

PirateThom4666d ago

When you have games you've maybe played once and got 0 trophies in.

JimmyLmao4666d ago

but we will still be able to see it? it is just others that won't?

i wish we could just erase the game from your account completely

Minato-Namikaze4666d ago

@Jimmy that sounds good until you have a pissed off girlfriend, lol.

PickAShoe4665d ago

I always wanted to hide my Duke Nuken Forever trophy; I played it for 15 min and return. lol

Tapewurm4665d ago

@Sirwut.. Should have given old Duke a chance...not technically the greatest game, but for old nostalgia sake it was worth a run through. Still have my Collector's copy....again...not calling it a great game...just a unique one that will always be remembered for it's lengthy development time and special lineage lol :)..My favorite one is still from the PS1 era... Time to Kill...still have my copy of that as well....both campy games, but I actually enjoyed them.

sashimi4666d ago

Well for games that i barely played @ 1% or 0% and haven't gone back to.

forcefullpower4665d ago

Your just scaredyou don't want us to see you where going to play Barbie's world

HeyImBen114666d ago (Edited 4666d ago )

To hide shitty trophiecollections where you only have a few %. But of course it would be a lot better if you could delete them...

KwietStorm_BLM4666d ago

There's a lot of people who have been begging for this feature for years now. Why it's even relevant, I have no clue. Trophies must be serious business to want to hide or delete them. I would much rather have privacy for my actual online status and a damn download history sort/search.

avengers19784665d ago

Download history sort/search would be f--king awesome.

Minimox164665d ago

@ avengers1978

Yeahh That'll be awesome!! :D

BLAKHOODe4665d ago

I like this feature. I've played a TON of games over the years and every time I sync my trophies, it takes FOREVER trying to detect every game I've played. If I can eliminate a bunch from the list, this might speed the process up TONS.

Irishguy954665d ago (Edited 4665d ago )

Yeah it sucks, there is simply no loading whatsoever on Xbox 360 for achievements, no syncing etc. Hope PS4 does that.

FamilyGuy4665d ago (Edited 4665d ago )

I've been wanting this feature so people checking my trophies wouldn't think I have certain games that I put in the system or launched once and then never actually played but are stuck there, forever at 0%.

Hiding is actually a smarter option than deleting them because if deleting was possible then someone in your home or someone you gameshare with could delete all your trophies if they feel like it/are mad at you. They could delete all your save files but you could have those backed up on a usb drive, trophies can't be backed up.

Rageanitus4665d ago

just put a PW on deleting your trophy!

Y_51504665d ago

I've always hated the fact every time someone would look at my trophies they'll see a game I hated. So hiding the games would make myself feel better in a way. :P

Rageanitus4665d ago (Edited 4665d ago )

I want to delete my trophies!.
Some games I only played a bit and don't care much

But then again trophies are useless in the long run so Im not too concerned

TXIDarkAvenger4665d ago

Pretty sure people wanted that because they have incomplete games. I for one have games on my PS3 that I don't own and don't plan on buying. More of a feature for people who care about their trophies.

SegaSaturn6694665d ago

If you didn't want your boss to know you were platinuming The Last of Us instead of unpacking a meat freezer.

ziggurcat4665d ago

because some people have games that they tried out, but never bothered playing.

it'll be nice to hide the 0% trophy lists.

kupomogli4665d ago

I've got garbage games like Trine 2 on my trophy list for getting it for free on PS+. Atleast this way I can hide all the bs titles I don't want to see while scrolling through my list.

Ps4Console4665d ago

Game telephoned me yesterday with bundle offers for the Ps4 , I went over in August with all my PS3 titles they gave me £770 in store .
Well anyway I was sitting down after coming in from work yesterday when the telephone rang it was Game offering me a Ps4 PSN 1year , plus KillZone & Drive Club I said yes the price a staggering £439 & that leaves me to get all my other Ps4 titles with the money I have over yipee so excited I had to share the news with you .

Gamer19824665d ago

Hiding trophies only helps those who trophy cheat to hide the evidence they have done so.

mark134uk4665d ago

If any wants to know, GAME uk rang me just saying they are only getting 40 of each ps4 buddles and as im a launch pre order owner i can have 1 (if i get there fast that is)

didnt know where else to post it :)

gintoki7774665d ago

Finally, gotta go hide all my embarrassing gaming achievements.

Christopher4665d ago

It's one of the most asked for features, though.

People want to hide games with 0 trophies tied to them, it seems.

Everybody wants to get home and play GTA Online and the Beyond demo? Time for an update!

MysticStrummer4666d ago

Ha ha Yeah and watch the update cause problems with GTA5. Oh man... that would be some seriously bad PR for PSN right about now.

xHeavYx4666d ago

I hate how long it takes to upd... Oh, finished, back to gaming

SeraphimBlade4666d ago

Yeah, I know, it will take like five minutes. It's just a little funny they put a mandatory update out the day of probably the biggest online event of the year.

nolifeking4666d ago

Its not like anyone can play it anyway. R* has to sort things out on their end before an update could be a problem.

coolasj4666d ago

That Vita one is the best.

yewles14666d ago

WHY is no-one talking about auto downloads for updates no longer requiring PS+ with this?

Yo Mama4666d ago

I know. And also "Auto download support of purchases made on the Web Store will be made available to all PSN users." I'm sorta mad at that. Those were two things I justified my PS+ membership with. Now everyone gets it. Kinda not fair. Maybe they're going to replace it with other features?

Drekken4666d ago

The free games don't justify it? You still get cloud saves.

Sarick4666d ago (Edited 4665d ago )

because this is the way it should've been. This design actually supports Sony's BEST INTEREST.

It insures customers get the latest software updates and makes quick patches available. This helps with both security, DRM and software exploit fixes.

I have mine turned off I'm very happy with manual updates. The option to enable it includes all PS software not just the firmware. Having it on allows open modification of my system files without discretion. I hope Sony keeps the option to disable auto-updates on my end available.

Jac5al4665d ago

Game patches are still ps+ only.

PickAShoe4665d ago

It very cool. I had my Boarderlands data corrupted on my local drive. I'm glad the cloud was there to backup my save.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle73d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7773d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde80d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy80d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7781d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga81d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit81d ago (Edited 81d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199281d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga80d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac80d ago (Edited 80d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman80d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger80d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box81d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion80d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7281d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7581d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit81d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14981d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7781d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
