PS3 Trophies to be mandatory from January 2009 - Image 1No more having to wait for news on whether your favorite (and not-so-favorite) PlayStation 3 games will be getting trophies or not.

According to a spokesperson from Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, "from Jan 09, all games must have trophies." That news deserves a trophy.

Just to be clear, this news pertains to new releases, so it doesn't necessarily apply to games that were released before the trophy system came out. However, it does guarantee that you won't have to worry about it for every game that will come out after this year ends.

Knew that was eventually coming...

Now if they can just get developers to include custom soundtracks and image capture...that would be awesome!

Sucks...

those 3 developers will be forced to add 20MB to their 10 games.

negative consequence

is that if devs are tight on schedule for release, trophies being mandatory might delay some games. Although overall it may be a good thing since it's been mandatory on 360 for some time now (all the time ?)

No big surprise

TBH devs have know this is coming, was just a question of when. Just something they will have to add to the dev schedule.

Yeah...

360 has had acheivements since day one... This is a good thing, I appreciate Sony's open platform type approach, but there are some things that need to be mandatory in order to make it an overall better experience for the player...would could see them make custom soundtracks and screenshots mandatory as well... This will not really delay games, but devs will now know to factor in trophies development into their schedule with everything else....
