So on the front page, I see a lot of nice articles with information on "trophys." That's great.

I wasn't aware gamers were illiterate.

Anyway, I understand the retroactive situation fully. It's better this way, otherwise people will just cheat like hell.

However, I'm still wondering how one would go about unlocking trophies with a game they already have a save file for.

What I'm hoping is, if a requirement for a trophy is met after the game is patched, whether the game file existed before or not, it would trigger a trophy unlock.

That would mean (for example) when you get to the Emblems page in MGS4, all the emblems you unlocked on that particular run would trigger a trophy, and all the other ones you have (but did not unlock on that run) would still be locked as trophies. In other words, I could reload my old save games and re-get the trophies by playing to the emblem screen, which seems fair to me, since all the save files available online would not get to the emblem page to unlock trophies (they are all game clear data I assume).

I hope it works this way. If I require a clean save file, fresh with zero-everything, I'll pass. I'll start "trophy collecting" with the newer titles, then.

I know what you mean about the new save file thing, but I personally wouldn't mind. I've beaten skate like 5 times and MGS4 is fun as **** for me. All my other games wouldn't be too much of a hassle to play through either, but I know this isn't the case for a lot of people out there.

Heh. I'd say the same for MGS4, but I've beaten it 10 times and I have all the emblems now...so as you can probably tell...I kind of don't want to start from Zero. I wouldn't mind having to re-get emblems, but if I can't do that with my current save file (so use my existing weapons to play through and unlock trophies) and require a new one (no weapons, no DP, nothing), then I'll probably pass until newer games come out.

Right now I'm hoping it's the former.

Most people on the internet don't know how to spell or read. They pretty much just dropped out to stay at home and play WoW.

Seriously? You've been on the forums for quite some time. I'd have thought you'd figured that out by now :)

Uh, nevermind about him then.

Anyway yeah, going to keep a hold on all these Act 5 savefiles till trophy support is added to MGS. Then I'll see if things work out or not. It should, because emblems can be achieved an infinite amount times (unlike a game like GTA, where when you pass a mission/kill all pigeons, you can't redo it within the same game save).

LMFAO I thought you were gonna rant. But, yeah I read on one article on Burnout that the devs made their patch retroactive,so its actually up to the dev whether they want their trophies to be retroactive or not, so just hope Kojima Productions is willing to do that.

Edit: But then again, MGS save files aren't locked.

the thing is that i think future games will have some sort of digital id associated with the game save/PS3 rendering the trophy cheat impossible.
that's not to say that the current games have said security in place already. it would good if that were the case though.
i can understand not everyone wants to have to go replay all their games again.

Dude, it took almost 2 years to get those gamers to spell Achievements right! (Did I just spell wrong! lol). So I guess it will take a little while.
