I agree but it would be in their best interest to push old software with a trophy patch. If and when greatest hits PS3 games come to the US I don’t see why they wouldn’t add a patch for trophy support to spur sales. “Trophy Whores” may avoid these titles for newer ones. The older titles are practically all profit when they hit GH status since dev costs are paid off on the first software run. I can’t believe its almost year 2 of the PS3 and we haven’t heard anything about GH titles in the US, Japan and Europe have them announced. Maybe we will be seeing an announcement at e3 regarding GH games and additional trophy support.

I’m guessing that Capcom is just concerned with trophies going foward. Without it being mandatory to retroactively implement, devs are going to use their resources on current projects. Based on the opportunity cost and other corporate strategies at least.

Insomniac is dedicating all of its efforts to R2 and won’t be patching Resistance Fom at this time.

Hopefully we’ll find out if there is more to trophies at E3 or as phase 2 and 3 of the PSN expansion takes place

What I’m more interested in is what the incentives will be for earning trophies. Sony has stated in the past that their achievement system would be more than just collecting points but actually serve a real purpose. What purpose would that be?

Beyond the idea of implementing trophies for the same reasons the third-parties do it for the 360 is enough for them to apply the feature to all upcoming games but if Sony can add something extra to the mix, like earning trophies for discounts or access to exclusive content; basically if Sony can find a way to make the trophy system a profit center for third-parties they’ll sign their name in blood to make sure they have trophies in their games.
