PlayStation Trophies Getting Overhauled Ahead Of PS5 Release

It's 1 million gamer score, to enter the mile high club.

And 0.10 cents for every login, bing search, game played earn 10 and you earned $1 not bad. But not great, stil better than nothing.

The E-peen update. I’ve been waiting for this since 2009. Thank you so much Sony. You really know how to listen to your fans. /s

A decent attempt to bring more attention to the leveling system that I'm sure most people, even trophy collectors, don't even look at. I've always liked the trophy system because platinums show how many games you've completed (in terms of trophies) at a quick glance. So I'm glad this "overhaul" is just focusing on the leveling and not doing anything to platinums or how they're earned.

That is awesome because I have been stuck on level 28 for ages.

Every time trophies or achievements get mentioned there are always people that ask ‘Why?’ or ‘Who cares?’ or ‘What’s the point?’, and ‘They’re meaningless’.

A guy I know tries to Platinum every game he owns. He has over 70 Platinum trophies.

Me myself, I like them for one reason and one reason alone. I use them to track when I first got a game to when I actually finished it. I make sure to get at least one trophy or achievement on the day I get a game to see how long it took me to actually get around to playing it. My trophies don’t so much reflect my accomplishments, so much as they do memories. I can check a date and remember why I completed a game so fast, or why it took me three or four years to actually get a chance to finish it. Without getting too sentimental 😂

Have always been a fan of trophies, even though you don't get anything more than that 2 second hit of endorphins on the platinum. My Bro and I have been competitive over the last few years on our trophy level so there's that added element. The only thing I don't like about them is they force you to play games in an unnatural way, I've always preferred a stealthy approach but you are occasionally forced to use the loud weapons or rack up combos etc.

"Meanwhile, another Trophy feature appears to have leaked early. The French PlayStation Blog mentioned Trophy tracking, for example letting you see how many artifacts you've gathered out of a total number."

It was mentioned in an email which I received from Sony today so it's not really a leak.

I also got an email regarding the new T&C's for PSN today. Detailing the changes would be something I'd be interested in reading if GS could do a feature?

But why ?

and who cares ?

So instead of getting a trophy notification, I"ll get a stamp notification.

"This also comes with a reworked Trophy calculation structure that is aimed at being more rewarding, letting you progress through stages more quickly at the start and consistently throughout."

It would've been nice if the whole system got reworked to have actual meaning, but it is instead more profitable to ensure consistent progression. It's all about making the system more exploitative.

Ideally, trophies and achievements would have been an iteration on the leader board concept, with players constantly competing at the friend, local, regional, national, continental, and global level for game dominance. Instead, it's all about the mindless accrual of senseless accolades that are so inclusive they're utterly meaningless. 🏆🐍🥇

They need to fix the PS Store. Can't filter the store for sh*t.

Sometimes you can't even filter PS3 from PS4 games.

wish sony and xbox have a trophy to cash program. if you get a platinum you get 5 bucks on the ps store. to motivate more people to get through a game just to get cash.

or achievement rewards

@cilija: Private Cams are still a viable option even with all the free porn... Incredible.

hehe, so if you weren't addicted to farming trophies this generation, you will be in the next. But I do like the changes, feels like it is about time they did something like this.

Should have kept the old platinum logo. Quite fond of that.

Currently at lvl 46 on GT Sport. Only 4 more levels to get that hellish plat...

The new platinum trophy design is beyond horrible, it looks more than a stamp than a trophy.

So what does everyone prefer?

Trophies or gamerscore?

Personally, I like the trophy system more.

This is why i enjoyed the Trophy system more than the Gamerscore system. Platinums indicate that you have all trophies of a select game (minus DLCs obviously) and a account level. Pretty cool if you ask me.
