Popular Post Sly Ripper Posted May 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2019 Had a flashback to the announcement of the trophy system and remembered the original platinum image was purple. See @ 2:23 Did some digging and found a 128x128 version, here it is: 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BlindMango Posted May 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) Longtime trophy hunters might remember this original platinum trophy was only around for a week on the PS3 when the trophy system first launched back in 2008, then quickly replaced with the current design. It's truly awesome to have a high res picture of it now. Nice find Sly, I think you may actually be the first person to put the full resolution image on the internet Edited May 11, 2019 by BlindMango 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Wolf Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Wow, that's really interesting! I never knew about that. The final design goes with the other trophy images much better, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masamune Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Wow, I heard the original was changed, but I never knew it used to be a purple crown. Looks like something you'd seen on a fancy bottle of booze. Kinda glad they changed it. ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time none did, I believe only Super Stardust HD was the only game with a trophy list and it didn't have a platinum, nontheless the image file was still in the PS3 2.40 firmware for whenever games would eventually use that image for platinum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrophyChief Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Saved the image for posterity. Thanks for sharing. Love to see they bring it back for special occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upendo_Vitani Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 That is so tacky but I think it'd be more fun to get platinums if they looked like that lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The devs totally made their own stylized version of it for that game A nice easter egg from Sony Japan for sure Edited May 11, 2019 by BlindMango 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JungleCat20 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 That's different. I didn't know platinum trophies started out with that image. Kind of funny. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djb5f Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 That looks pink to me (hot pink) more than purple 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fr_0zt Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Don't like it and would like a redesign of the current one tbh. Maybe make it look like the champions league trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaivRules Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 So the only actual explanation for platinums from Sony hasn’t changed since the original announcement, huh? ”You get the platinum trophy for getting all the other trophies in the game.” So all the interpretations people have done about getting platinums for accomplishing everything in a game are total fabrications. Cool, now we can all be on the same page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conker Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Yeah I can see why it was changed to what is now . But cool we have some history of the platinum trophy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortaledEdge Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 @Sly Ripper was this taken directly from 2.40 through file access or something? Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think this image just came from somewhere around the internet. If so, any of the other ranks have different icons?

dmland12 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 If that had been the image used all of these years and they tried to change it to the current one, you know we'd all be up in arms about it and defending "the crown". But, as it is, it looks a little goofy for a platinum trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
