StrickenBiged Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Wow! A Plat in a game that the developers estimate will take 4-6 hours? Overall, they seem pretty easy. Some of the collectible ones might take some effort, perhaps. For example, avoiding concluding other story-lines until you reach the bunker, listening to all broadcasts before doing anything else, etc. Although, this may depend on how the story is structured. It may be easy to avoid stuff from triggering, who knows? Looking forward to this one for a while. And even more so now that I see a plat.

Crespelio-X12 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I agree with you and it has 19 trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindMango Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Been looking forward to this game for quite a while, completely surprised to see a platinum! Trophies look fun Edited August 11, 2015 by BlindMango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YimSiphny Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I've read one (positive) review, the only real criticism was that you can't run around the village, only walk. Personally I don't mind a slow pace for a game like this, but if you have to backtrack any distance to get collectibles or whatever it could get frustrating.Still really keen to play the game though, even though I don't even have a PS4 (yet)!

StrickenBiged Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Cool. It's on the UK store if you search for it. £12.79 after the 20% PS+ discount is applied. £15.99 without PS+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zadorvp Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I knew there was a platinum already, but it was still a nice surprise. Played this a bit last night already and getting back to it now. The trophies will take quite a while to get at the moment (and definitely I'd say more than 4-6 hours without guides) - the town is big, the walking pace is slow and the radios, maps, books, etc are scattered everywhere, and the only way to save the game is to trigger one of the story things (specifically one that does the big swooshing sounds, not one of the ones you walk past and trigger that way) - I also fell through the map at one specific part next to a bush. I'm also not sure how exactly to trigger some of the trophies (do I need to just look at the things or press X) - for example, I looked at all six train numbers and got nothing (I later read on playstationtrophies that this is indeed the place to get the trophy), so I guess I was supposed to press X on them or get really up and close to them? I'm liking it so far though and can't wait to play more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damon8r351 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Another game with not enough content to warrant a plat being given one anyway to shut up whiny trophy hunters who are always asking why a game doesn't have a plat. I'm not even sure the game has enough to it to warrant a trophy list discussion thread, much less a platinum trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, this deserves a trophy list discussion more than some other recent games Some trophy requirements here are not clear or require very specific things (phone booths, microwaves, standing around in certain points for a certain time) and the story triggers are everywhere around the map (as are all the collectibles).

I'm not even sure the game has enough to it to warrant a trophy list discussion thread, much less a platinum trophy. Do you know how Sony decides this? If so, I'd be interested. I've read that they have "small scope" or "large scope" games, the latter of which get a plat. What determines the correct "scope" is anyone's guess as far as I can tell. I doubt they do it to "shut up whiny trophy hunters". More likely, they know trophy hunters exist and are trying to promote their exclusive title by allowing it to have a plat.

"I got to"...? You, sir, have some strange compulsions. If you don't want to take part in a discussion, don't join it.

Sony claims they have criteria, but I believe money has at least something to do with it (especially since there was one dev who said their producers assured them they're getting a platinum) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diskdocx Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Another game with not enough content to warrant a plat being given one anyway to shut up whiny trophy hunters who are always asking why a game doesn't have a plat. I'm not even sure the game has enough to it to warrant a trophy list discussion thread, much less a platinum trophy. Bull shit. Sony has never shown an interest in catering to the so-called trophy hunter crowd. If that were the case, then every game would have a plat, like every X1 game now has 1000 gamer score. Bottom line is no one really knows how Sony decides on the trophy list. I've heard it is up to the devs, but some have complained that they were now 'allowed' a plat (the MGS issue being the last I recall). There are clear exceptions on each front - games approaching 100 hours that don't have a plat, and less than 10 with a plat. There seems to be no rhyme nor reason in the 5-15 hour range as to whether or not it will be a platinum list. As for this game, I think it MUCH more likely that the game got a plat due to the launch price, and SCE Santa Monica being the publisher. If they are planning to charge $20 for a digital game, then sales are gonna take a huge hit without the plat. I know I wouldn't pay that price, and a lot of people are of similar mindset. If the game doesn't have the content to warrant a plat, then the price has to reflect that. This is much more likely to be an attempt to suggest the game has more content than it really does, than to cater to whiny trophy hunters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to use the publisher and the price as your excuse for a plat or not, then you're forgetting about Ground Zeroes being crapped out by Konami for $39.99 without one. I still stand by my original statement about the plat, which was, by the way, tertiary to A. Humor and 2. My annoyance at the continued use of the silly thread title.

I didn't forget about Ground Zero, but referenced it as MGS in my post (I guess it is MGZ?). Anyway, I seem to remember them complaining that they wanted a plat and couldn't get one. And when it came at that price, a lot of people balked at paying it for a 'glorified demo'. Again, the perception is that price needs to line up with content. If you are charging a high price (and $20 for a digital only launch is high), then the content needs to support it. Having a plat suggests that it has the content (not saying I agree, but saying that might be a factor). Having it be one of Sony's own games also helps. Further, isn't this part of the summer Play promo - automatically the price is jacked so they can offer a pre-order discount. I'm not defending Sony on this, I'm merely pointing out that there are far more nefarious explanations than bowing to trophy hunters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokedude97 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 While I don't agree that the price of a game affects trophies at all, I do agree that having a platinum will increase sales dramatically. I don't know if some devs are really stupid or Sony just doesn't allow certain games to have a platinum. We just found out that the Mega Man Legacy Collection doesn't have a platinum at all, so it's going to sell a lot less. For Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, the trophies seem pretty easy but I heard somewhere it takes 4 playthroughs to get all the story stuff done and people still haven't found everything yet. But the devs said you can basically run through the game if you skip everything so once paths are found then it should be pretty fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIght now I don't really see how it would take four playthroughs unless some things are locked until it's been completed once. There's the "Completionist" run and a "only Stephen arc" run that I'd see as being mutually exclusive, since I'd imagine all the radios can just be done in either run if you ignore the story bits until you've touched all radios.

It would have to come from Completionist and the only Stephen run. If what I heard is right then that probably means there's 4 different story arcs and you can only do one per playthrough. Who knows if that's true though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can complete multiple story arcs in one playthrough (I've done two fully now after finding all collectibles/misc trophy locations) though there could be "major arcs" that lead to their own endings or something (I can think of two possible ones, not sure who the remaining two could be for).
