Aranea Highwind Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Trophies on the PlayStation 4 are coming back with a twist. Sony's new console won't just store your achievements—it'll tell you the rarity of each Trophy you earn We saw the new feature in action today during a demo of the PS4's system interface at a big press event tied to the console's Friday launch. The system will list each Trophy a player has earned and will classify them as common, rare, very rare, or ultra rare. Trophies are still also designated as bronze, silver, gold and platinum to denote the difficulty in obtaining them. Rarity, however, is a dynamic quality that will be calculated online across the PlayStation userbase. A Trophy might prove rare because it is tough to get, or it might be rare because few people have bothered to play the game it's in. Rarity can change over time. As best we can tell, the rest of the PS4's Trophy system matches what is on the PS3 and Vita. Earning Trophies still fills a progress bar that gradually levels up the numerical rank of the person who earned them. Trophies still have to sync online. They can still be earned offline. The PS4 Trophy interface lists Trophies that the player has earned on PS4, PS3 and Vita. http://kotaku.com/how-trophies-work-on-ps4-1462654603 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorgiBootyy Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 That sounds cool. It will be a little bit more accurate in some ways as here because it will have EVERYBODY who has synced their trophies. But it may be a bit less, because it won't account for any sort of hackers or anything most likely, so they'll be thrown on the boat as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirbz Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Maybe it'll do dlc trophy percentages correctly. Ya never know, but a 100% rare trophy could turn out to actually be 0.48% rare 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetMitched Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 This will be an awesome feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masamune Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 So it's basically going to be the system we're already familiar with here on PSNP? I can live with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadeSplit Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I knew this was going to be happening since the Vita's firmware was last updated. The update notes mentioned that trophy rarity for PS4 games would not be displayed. There would obviously be no point in stating that if PS4 trophies weren't going to have a rarity number. If they can keep hacking to a minimum, this is excellent news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrunoBomb Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Sly's work will be paying off, but how will it be here, it will be synchronized as it is on PS4 like a trophy is 64.1% here and on PS4 or might be different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goro Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I wonder if PSNProfiles had anything to do with that decision... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aexuz Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 So this feature is going to be for PS4 games only or we are going to be able to see trophy rarities of PS3 and vita games on the PS4 too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOAST13TOA5T Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I imagine it would be across just PS4 trophies, maybe patch it to other systems later but then they would have new vita games needing it as well :/ Initial reaction: it is a nice additional feature to have but as Blazikiller stated it most likely won't account for hackers and leaderboard cheats etc so ill still put my faith in Sly to let me know how rare and untainted my trophies are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadiochao Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 What ever happened to that feature that let other people play your games for you? Did they reveal whether they would disable trophies for saves that have had help? I haven't really been following it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 What ever happened to that feature that let other people play your games for you? Did they reveal whether they would disable trophies for saves that have had help? I haven't really been following it. From what I can recall, it is up to the developers to disable trophies while using that feature. Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBloodmoney Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I suspect Sony will put pressure on developers not to disable trophies if this feature is used, as noone would ever use it if they did disable them. I truly cannot imagine why someone would use it though. I mean, after getting some hard trophy done and dusted, im not gonna want to do it again just so someone else can have the same trophy and pull the rarity down on it! Also, I suspect that anyone serious about gaming would immediately delete someone from thier friends list if they asked them to get a trophy for them.

DK_Scuba Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Should be a lot more accurate, the amount of hackers in the % will be almost nothing compared to the amount of worldwide players with the game. Can't wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixel Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 It will be interesting to see if it's done on a percentage ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLamb858 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I like the idea. It definitely does sound like they did "borrow" the idea from this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon-Archon Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I wonder if Sony will do something about hacked trophies, Otherwise there's going to be a big difference in rarity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starrk_01 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 It has already been done here so... yea... awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowIPendragon Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) Awesome. I always loved how this site tells you how rare your trophies are but that's obviously limited to the amount of registered users on the site. Great new feature. Hopefully they add more things like this. Still never leaving PSN Profiles though I just started out here and I love the community Edited November 12, 2013 by rsoto1125 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaSoOoN-MHD Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Playing Devil's Advocate, i'm pretty sure most tracking/trophy/achievement sites have a rarity tracker/meter too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
