item112z Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 So once the Near function was shut down on Vita, does it mean that this trophy is unobtainable now? I heard it depends on Near too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
langedougie Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Still possible. Near still works 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegirlruka Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I don't know anything about this trophy, but near was never shut down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Near itself was not. The location feature was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
item112z Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Good to know, thanks. I thought that Near was shut down entirely, my bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron_Bonk Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 As off July 31, 2017 the Near functionality is completely shut down, meaning that game goods cannot be exchanged anymore and as a consequence making this trophy unobtainable. https://support.us.playstation.com/articles/en_US/KC_Article/Termination-of-support-for-near-and-Live-from-PlayStation-applications-on-PlayStation-Vita 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man! I was really excited to get this plat. I am very disappointed right now! :-( Well, I'll try to get the other (still) possible trophies. Thanks for helping me.

Baron_Bonk Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Yeah it's a pity every trophy that was related to any functionality of Near is no longer attainable. A long and hard plat now out of reach for some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron_Bonk Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Might have to with this: Quote * Timing of termination may shift behind depending on the region. Any other way, I know location data was terminated earlier, but exchange of game goods is now also gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, not every trophy with Near functionality is unobtainable. For example, there were trophies that just required you to "send" something, but not "receive." IIRC, only a handful of games were affected by this: Angry Birds, A-men (Vita), and Travel Bug. Some others (SFxT, I believe is one example) are still OK, even though they technically have Near trophies. In short, it really depends on what Near functionality was required for the trophies. Your best bet is to check on a case-by-case basis by going to individual trophy guides/message boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though when I tried to help lu2l0i1c2olu out with sending a bird in Angry Birds, I also wasn't able to upload it to Near, so it does really depend on what the trophy demands/at which point it will pop.

Bykovsky7 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 So briefly - is the platinum trophy unobtainable? I'm wondering whether I should bother buying this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron_Bonk Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) No there is a possibility those players earned it legit. If you've sent and received back all the birds but the big bird before Near was depracated and after that you've unlocked big bird and sent it on migration, the trophy would unlock before (trying to) connecting to Near. It is unobtainable if you were not on that point in the game yet. Edited September 21, 2021 by Baron_Bonk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now, all three of the users are flagged. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron_Bonk Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Ah well I didn't check the profiles, so if like you said they have hacked trophies or earned the trophies in an unrealistic amount of time, they're probably earned illegit. I just pointed out that it is actually theoretically possible to still earn the Free as a bird trophy if you reached a certain point of bird migration before Near was deprecated.

Yeah, I've read your comments regarding this on PS3T. Yeah, you are right, that's technically possible, but when somebody got this trophy as their 5th or 6th it is highly unlikely. You need to be at 65% of game completion to unlock 6 birds and send them and receive them all. Then 7th bird is unlocking at 95% and it is enough to send it. So first to get 65% while "Near" was active, then after almost 4 years to reach 95% and get the trophy. Of course, possible, but... "Rather" rare. And, as @ArmoredSnowmanmentioned: game completely started and plated only in 2020 - simply impossible. Actually just wondering if such info shall be mentioned in case if i.e. that's the only trophy for somebody's platinum...

Waxberries Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I am wondering since the description is "sending all 7 birds" I just sent the red bird without opening near. Will it be possible to obtain it without near? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it be possible to obtain it without near? No, because every bird has to "come back" from another player via Near before you can sent the next. So unless you've got only one bird left to send, you can't get it anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcanehornet_ Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Man, this is such a shame I’m having a lot of fun playing Angry Birds Star Wars on the Vita, it’s truly the perfect platform for such a game. The touchscreen makes the game just as intuitive to play as the actual mobile versions. Wish I could plat the Trilogy too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
