No Trophy Support For Saints Row 2

ps3fanboy.com writes: "Despite what you might have heard, Saints Row 2 will not contain Trophy support when it debuts tomorrow. A moderator on the official community forums was the one to deliver the bad news. The moderator didn't address the possibility of a Trophy patch at a later date, stating only that that he will keep us updated. Are you guys disappointed? Will this sway you into buying the 360 version? Or will you just forget about this game?"

EA can put trophies into a game I am sure other developers can too... EA has surely done a lot to make ps3 owners happy.
One extra content for deadspace and DLC for mirrors edge.
Leading platform for development on the ps3 now.
Keeping everything equal to the xbox 360 or a lil bit better or a tiny bit worse.
Making it mandatory for all future games not just in 2009 when it is required by those releasing for the rest of 2008 mandatory to have trophies in it.
They have surely won back my respect and maybe my money because I like what I am seeing from deadspace and mirrors edge. Way to go EA clap clap clap

Hydrolex6458d ago

I'm Sorry people for "IGN Bias - SR2 will support trophies"

SullyDrake6458d ago

No buy for me - I'm saving my money for the games that fully support the PS3.

RJ20006458d ago

EA is one place that is going down hill fast. They are like smart kid in high school that just half assed everything because they knew it would pass.

kratos-i-am6458d ago

Yeah apparently the colours arent as rich aswell so I would probs get it on the 360 if I had to choose. Though there are SO MANY OTHER GAMES! LBP, FAR CRY 2, R2, Mirrors Edge which are at the top of my list for this year + some games from last year that I still need to get Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank and Burnout (Downloading as we speak).

This game didn't seem interesting, but trophy support actually made me consider buying this. I guess now I can be $60 richer, lol.

Shaka2K66458d ago

With massive line up of hot exclusive AAA games who has time for multiplatform games on Sony PS3?

sure there is going to some casual who will buy the superior version of saints row 2 on Sony PS3 but then again they dont care about trophies.

JasonPC360PS3Wii6458d ago

What you don't fall in line with the other droids jumping on the Saints train to boycott GTA IV and it's pro Xbox. So this is the next game you droids are going to b!tch and whine about huh?

ravinshield6458d ago

im glad a lot of games are not supporting that crap called Trophies, they are sh!t anyways

Radiodread6458d ago

playing games for achievements or trophies and not just playing the game for fun.

pwnsause6458d ago

true, but it shows which developers are lazy in the Industry. Capcom at least is doing everything possible to start supporting trophies this fall.

ReBurn6458d ago

Trophies and achievements can provide additional replay value and in some cases require you to be creative to earn them. In other cases trophy support may be a distinguishing factor between console versions. If you like achievements or trophies and only the 360 version has them then chances are that's a software sale for the other platform.

Just because some people don't like them doesn't mean that they aren't valued by others.

ape0076458d ago

my cut on trophy\achievement system

sometimes it make the game more hardcore more rewarding,more satisfying,like beating uncharted,cod4 ,gears on hardest difficulty

sometimes it makes you more kiddy,like renting a bad game just for them,or tell your freind online "guys lets do this achievement help me"

overall:yes games are a bit better with this thing,it's addictive to see your own profile increasing with time,full of memorable moments,it's like badges of honor and it's fun when you compare with friends ystem

SixTwoTwo6458d ago

They add value to the games. With the holiday lineup so crowded this year, a lot of people are going to have some tough choices to make. Trophies may be that little extra feature that helps someone who can't make up their mind choose Call of Duty: WaW over Fallout 3.

BrianC62346458d ago

"playing games for achievements or trophies and not just playing the game for fun."

What I really liked about the GTA games like GTAIII was looking for hidden items. These trophies are like that. It gives you one more thing to do in the game. I've been playing a lot of Burnout Paradise trying to get the trophies. It's also making me learn the maps more. I agree some games really shouldn't need something like trophies but games with an open world can benefit from it.

no trophies, no buy, there is just no excuse this late in the game they had plenty of time.

Bnet3436458d ago

Mines is no trophies, get the game on 360 lol. Sony can't make trophies mandatory thats not good man. Trophies swayed me to get Dead Space on PS3.

BrianC62346458d ago

"Mines is no trophies, get the game on 360 lol. Sony can't make trophies mandatory thats not good man. Trophies swayed me to get Dead Space on PS3."

I think the only reason trophies aren't mandatory is sometimes it takes a while to add them so it wouldn't be smart for Sony to make them mandatory. Game developers should do everything possible to include them though or at least add them later. In the future anyone making a 360 and PS3 game will obviously include trophies in the PS3 game. To not do so just because they don't have to would be stupid.

Broken Games That Never Got Fixed

While a lot (like way too many) games launch in sorry states these days, a lot of them do eventually get polished up over time fixes. The same can’t be said for these properly broken games.

Worst for me is wipeout 2048.
I got gold in every single player race, made it extremely far into the great online shop platinum was a finger away.. then lost all my online progression. Many players experienced the same and hadn’t been fixed since

joab777314d ago

Cyberpunk and No Mans Sky are obviously the 2
best comeback stories. Cyberpunk is literally one of the best RPGs ever made now.

Christopher313d ago

I wouldn't call NMS broken at release, just under-delivered.

Michiel1989314d ago

junctioning is only broken now because it's been datamined which monster which gives which card and which card gives which items and every single spell to junction with the highest points for each stat. For it's time when that info wasn't readily available it was good, not without it's flaws, but not broken,

-Foxtrot314d ago

Exactly. I never got this because what made it broken was the knowledge of what to exploit.

Playing the game for the first time back then you never had any knowledge to make it so easy.

One minute the Junction system is complicated, the next it's super easy / broken. What is it?

gold_drake314d ago

i mean, ff8 is not "broken" per se, its just that the junction system is too good and easily exploited even an hour into the game. haha

Ashunderfire86314d ago

Star Wars Jedi Survivor is one of them. I can’t get in the Cantina bar later on in the game. The door and other doors throughout the environment is locked off. It is a shame, because I wanted to complete the game, but I can’t until they fix it.

The 2000s was a great decade for a lot of brilliant video games. Here are the ten best games of the 2000s that you may not have played.

You know usually when someone says "you may have missed" it's games that were lesser known, hidden gems, underrated games. These are all super high profile games that sold extremely well.

FPS_D3TH1274d ago (Edited 1274d ago )

You know the 2000s is 20 years ago too? Maybe, just maybe this wasn’t an article targeted to 30+ gamers? Still says at the very beginning of the title “THE BEST GAMES you may have missed”. Regardless of how well they sold there’s tons of gamers who haven’t touched these older well known games lol.

Welshy1274d ago (Edited 1274d ago )

It's games you "may have missed", insinuating you were around and gaming in the 2000's and were there to miss them. If it was aimed at everyone else then they missed literally everything, not just the top games.

The original commenter is right, this is a badly written article at best pointless at worst.

Crows901274d ago

Besides only being able to miss it if you were around during that time..if your point stands then this is a horrible list. Tons of better games people may have missed

XxINFERNUSxX1274d ago

I would like the original max payne remade in a new engine with ray tracing. 😊

FPS_D3TH1274d ago

Remedy games already working on that and I’m so stoked for it

XxINFERNUSxX1274d ago

Oh yeah thanks for reminding me I totally forgot they were doing it. Also what the hell happened to Kingpin: Reloaded? On Steam coming soon and nohting from the dev.

MadLad1274d ago

Yeah, I was just going to say. It's interesting seeing them back behind the series. Max Payne 3 was amazing, but then Rockstar just sat on the IP.
Well, they sit on virtually anything that isn't GTA and Red Dead now.

porkChop1274d ago

What is this list? These are all hugely popular games. I was expecting games like Dark Messiah of Might & Magic, Advent Rising, Arx Fatalis, etc.

FPS_D3TH1274d ago

the title didn’t say lesser known titles from the 2000s. This is 20 years ago now lol. Big assumption this list was made for older gamers.

Dirty_Lemons1273d ago

That makes me feel so old.

Inverno1274d ago

I've only played 3 on that list. Part of me feels bad about how little I used all the consoles I've owned as a kid. One bright side is, there's over 30 years of games to experience for the first time.
