MykonosFan Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I remember an old patent suggesting that this emulator might be able to check on screen text/elements as flags to unlock Trophies, versus the "PS2 to PS4" method of having to manually go in and add / QA additional Trophies. If this is using that, that's probably the trade-off. More games can have Trophies since they're easier to add, but the Trophies are less imaginative since their hands are tied more on what they can actually add. It's a bit of a bummer, but for me personally the tradeoff might be worth it to get more games. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ten golds, and, unless I'm missing something, you don't even have to finish the game to earn the Platinum. Ape Escape deserved better than this. Yea... More challange will be fun. But remember that it is not only adults who hunt trophies. I reckon there are some kids who want to hunt for trophies too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiCBZ Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) I agree, kinda disappointing list. I'm still gonna play and 100% it, this used to be one of my favourite PSP games back in the days. Edited May 23, 2022 by KenjiCBZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagKenobi Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Sure, this could have used a trophy for actually beating the game and maybe 2-3 extraneous trophies for doing X or Y special thing, but for what the game is, this is not a bad list imo. Now to wait and see if Jumping Flash gets similar treatment!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanPortrBridges Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 There's 204 monkeys to capture so it kinda sucks you only need half for that trophy, but to play the final minigame you do need the 40 tokens which is already a trophy and you get the magic punch after actually beating the game. Getting every monkey would've been nice but I'm not sure you guys would have the same tune if you had to beat every minigame in it's entirety. Some were fun but the skiing one I hated.

starcrunch061 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Given the requirements for the 100% for Ape Escape 2, this one is pretty disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashtyMouse Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Not having to 100% this game should be a crime! but still happy to see trophies on these games…. But c’mon!! Every 3D platformer should require 100%! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomadom64 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Repeating what a lot of people have already said, but I do feel like there could have been a few more Monkey requirement trophies or a Final Boss trophy at the very least. Seems a tad easier than I would have liked, especially given that a lot of them are Gold trophies. It's not gonna ruin my enjoyment of the game though (it's not like I haven't played easy to Platinum games anyways). I always loved to 100% it on my PSone, I'll gladly do it again, regardless of trophies. Plus, it'll pair nicely with my Ape Escape 2 list. Hoping to see Ape Escape 3 get a re-release soon too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fresquinho Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Am I the only one who never played this? I'm gonna try it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgm4789 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 All they really needed is to add a trophy for beating the second battle with spector(which only unlocks once you catch every monkey). Kind of dissapointing they didn't at least do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im2Fast_4U Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 For me, I grew up with just a handful of PS1 games. I never owned Ape Escape, but I had the demo disc that had it on there. I played that demo so many times, it fascinated me as a kid. I have clamored for an Ape Escape Remaster Trilogy on PS5 utilizing the Dualsense haptics a la Astro's Playroom hoping to experience that magic again in a modern format. Point being, the inclusion of trophies is enough for me. As others have mentioned, the patent seems to limit the scope of trophies, but certainly eases their implementation. I am so excited to catch all those primates and experience this in full!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milanbarca82 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Gonna 100% this regardless. I just hope they will make a new Ape Escape game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shlomaniac Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 People here realise that implementation of trophies in any game takes a few months right? I rather have 500 classic games with no trophies that release immediately than getting only some with trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimoking37 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Personal preference isn’t it. I’d rather 10 games I love with trophy support so I can have them permanently on my profile than another 490 games I’m never going to play. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BacklogGamer964 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) So I just got the platinum in this and while fun, I'm a little disappointed with the list overall. Personally, I'd have liked to have had just a few more trophies added to it. I've decided to run through the post-game to get the final Apes and the Specter Coins that I missed, as well as see the true ending, but I'm kinda sad that there are no trophies attached to doing this portion of the game at all aside from getting the Magic Punch, which is done the first time you enter any level after beating the final boss. Part of the reason this disappoints me is that I know a bunch of people will just skip over this portion of the game and not see the true ending, or attempt to catch some of the harder and most fun Apes in the game just because the trophy list ends where it does.

Why on earth would it take months to implement trophies in a single game even for a single developer? Do you have any details to share about how trophies are implemented in these games because that frankly sounds unbelievable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
