Or is it really just the ps3 which can’t connect to steam? Because if it’s also a problem with the steam version they might want to fix that. It's only PS3 version problem - I have managed to play PC to PC co-op on my PC Steam copy and got PC only Achievment "Talent Show".

IDiivil Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Yeah, this is pretty much why Portal 2 was one of the first PS3 games I did after I started cleaning up old MP trophies after the Killzone and WipEout shutdowns were announced. I don't have a lot of faith left in Valve, and at this point this whole cross-platform thing is very much a legacy system, as it was never expanded to any other games. I think it was originally supposed to be like a feature, seeing as they had Gabe on the E3 stage announcing it and all that. That said, suppose there is a chance they may fix it, but wouldn't count on it. Oh and the fact that the PS3 trophies unlocking is actually tied to the steam servers is just a horrible idea to begin with. Seems so unnecessary.

Kittens Are Awesome Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 My ps3. I can confirm that it's not working for me as well. Considering how old the game is and the nearly 2 years we have had since the announcement, I don't feel bad for anybody who doesn't have this done by now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButtingHam Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I wasn't aware that they were no longer supporting it, it wasn't mentioned in any guides or forums regarding unachievable trophies. I really hope it gets fixed (Or fixes itself), because to lose a perfect completion rating due to this is so stupid. I'm assuming you can't get the 2 online trophies through the Steam version and have it amazingly pop up on the PS3 version right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, not without being able to connect to Steam on PS3. I think you could before though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - PSN Trophies can unlock Steam Achievments, but not the other way. Trophies can only be earned on PS3, and two online trophies require PS3 to be signed into Steam.

So they did give ample warning... it just stayed up for a long time afterwards. Still, my snarky comment aside, this still sucks and I hope they fix it or it fixes itself!

Many players don't use Steam (many have just created an account just to get those two trophies) and this warning is not viewed from the PS3 version.

Not trying to defend Valve or anything, but where were they supposed to announce it? Did you expect a Christmas letter with a picture of Santa telling you the trophy fairy was gonna shit on your parade? Every other server closure is always made on the developers web site, so how was Valve supposed to know this is how you wanted to be notified? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made a public statement with a specific date and even when you go to the PSN store it's the first thing you can see in the description of the game. Granted, the online is still up and running for that game despite what they said, but if it goes down now then it's safe to say it's gone. I bought Portal 2 on PSN this year and there was no such statement shown for it which is where'd you expect it the most outside of the game itself. Going by my Batman logic, it wouldn't seem too likely for the servers for Portal 2 to go back online, but apparently last year it was down for like 3 weeks? Could anyone confirm this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should not be surprised by any closure on the ps3 from here on out. Servers have been closing or getting knocked off line. If it's the latter, best bet they aren't going to lift a finger to put them back online. This should just be common sense. It makes sense to me. Makes sense to almost everyone I know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristmas2 Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 Maybe i was being very naive, but when I considered if i should risk playing Portal2 on PS3 I thought to myself: "Man, Valve is sooo great company and Steam will be online like, like.. forever, and Portal2 is like their last game they released (and maybe their last) (i am not counting DOTA and CS).. so I don't have to worry about it going offline anytime, it's not like it's EA or something. Right?" Point is - i am dissapointed with you Valve. I thought you were better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kinda sucks I guess, but you're right, I have nobody to blame but myself On the other hand I still buy and play PS3 games even when I know the servers have already gone. I started the first WRC yesterday evening for example. I will have to do without about 10% of the trophies, but not playing it at all means I would lose out on 100% of the trophies.
