It's kinda sad, but oh well it's free

Kinda saw this one coming, no way they would go back and add trophies for the benefit of customers.

I still have my copy I purchased on day one of release. I got very excited when i seen the article name then my hopes where crused when i read it.

Oh well, despite the fact it's encouraging people to buy the new Assassin's Creed... at least it's not a completely money grubbing venture like trying to re-release the same damn game for the 50th time and still neglecting to add trophies.

Well, just from my experience playing it on Xbox 360- those were some tough ass achievements.

Yeah the achievments for the first game where insane, iirc there was one for assassinating all of your 9 major targets while blended. That and there where a crap ton of flags to collect.

kool that its free, but i played it before and didnt like the gameplay too much

the whole walking and holding your hands together was funny to me

its like he was praying "dont get caught, dont get caught, dont get caught"

The vast majority of customers don't really care about trophies. The game is almost four years old.

I didn't even know that we'd get the original Assassins Creed with Revelations

Guess i should've waited until i knew this before i bought it of the ps store

Technically what he said is correct even if only two people cared about trophies. Customers are customers.

That said, the only viable argument against adding trophies, or at least not berating them for not adding trophies, is that it's not worth the time and effort. With that in mind I would like to point out a few things.

1. Your knowledge of the percent of gamers who really care about trophies and the actual amount are probably not the same.

2. These developers built the game from the ground up, and have built multiple sequels also mostly from the ground up. I find it hard to believe that adding a few triggers to unlock certain trophies at certain times would be an obnoxiously tedious task, especially considering there's an Xbox version with similar Achievement logic. It's not like they're grabbing people off the street and saying "here's the code, add trophies". These people are intelligent professionals that looked at and built this code for years during the games development.

3. While not the majority, there are a LOT of people that care about achievements/trophies. Re-releasing a game that previously had no trophies, with trophies, will not only bring on people that have sort of ignored the series (which is pretty much the only reason to re-release games anyways...) but it will also encourage people who already own the game to pay a little money for a "trophy patch". You're kidding yourself if you think there aren't a good chunk of gamers that would do that, especially seeing as Assassin's Creed is a very popular series.

I agree with what you're saying mostly. However, there's a high demand of the old school games. Which is why Sony releasing them back on the PS3 and more money ultimately. Most folks have the slim version of the PS3, which obviously isn't totally backwards compatible like the older models...

The first Assassins Creed was pretty much the game that made me get a ps3. I know I completed it atleast 3 times. I guess I liked it more than most people did. It is however hard to play now, since I have played 2 and brotherhood with all the added combat, weapons, chasebreakers and so on. Added trophies for me is the only way I think this game will get another playthru from me.
