Photoshopping a platinum trophy screenshot for a game you haven't platted is deplorable. I guess the real question should be; Who in the world is so desperate to impress others that they would try and do so with a fake picture of a platinum trophy? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) I only keep the platinum screenshot if I really like the game. I mean it's cool to get a better screenshot, but I'm not going to follow a step by step article just to get it.

djb5f Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Interesting tactic. I sometimes manually take a screenshot of the platinum while it is still displaying if I think the real-time stamp (seconds before) is going to be a black screen or something not ideal. But I would not go through these steps to fake the screenshot but of course, I am not against others who do. Within reason, I try to set up a nice image for my platinum but nothing that requires much setup. Like others have posted, the screenshots are just for my viewing pleasure. I don’t share with others or on social media. I will take screenshots in game of cool scenery, events, or achievements. And from time to time, I will scroll though my screenshots of particular games as a trip down memory lane. Mafia III has some nice ones lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EIdain Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Given that the only place I see this happening is the r/trophies sub-reddit I don't see the issue with it. In fact I'd much rather see a screenshot someone has gone out of their way to take because they think it looks good, as opposed to the crap tonne of pictures I see of people's PSN mobile app, their TV on the trophies section of the XMB, or their profile from a trophy tracking site (like here).

JEDI_BROTHERS Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I dont really mind if they do a fake one, sometimes it looks nice to have a beautiful game screenshot with a platinum trophy in the corner. But I wouldn't take time to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MandA60VISE Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I only have 2 trophy screenshots and that's the Hell Wyrm and Yiazmat trophies so I have proof I did the more difficult fight instead of settling for the easier ones in the 100 trials gauntlet thing.

TheKamiEneru Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I do this, but only for games that i care about. For example, i did it for the Naruto series, but i wouldn't do it for a game like Claire, as i didn't really care for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexandra-jane09 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I don't see the need to fake it, why bother. I personally do remove the trophy based screenshots, except I did keep the one from Last of Us 2 when Ellie puts the hat on Joel because, it was a nice moment.

Viper Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Didn't even know the switcharoo method was a thing. PST used to have a pretty active thread for posting your Platinum images...but mine were always shit, so I stopped worrying about it. Haven't thought about it in a couple years now. Either way though, if someone wants to do this then fine...you aren't harming anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katt Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) Now we know that devs can control the moment when a screenshot is taken when you get a trophy (Days Gone). If more devs could use this for their games, we wouldn't need this method. But yeah, I never thought something like this. And I'm pretty impressed that a lot of people don't care but a lot of people do care about a stupid place in a leaderboard ?? Trophy screenshots are somewhat important for me. I usually see them to remember how awesome some games were for me. Edited July 25, 2020 by Katt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild-Arms-R Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I feel about the same as I do ppl with fake 100% profiles(Ppl who have nothing nothing worthy on said acount and/or use a second acount) I dont really care and think they are just srcubs. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMcDamage Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I didn't even know you could fake a platinum screen shot. I thought that it takes a picture on your console as proof as to show legitimate completion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselmanchild Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I wasn’t aware that some people were upset with this. ? I don’t do this all the time, mainly because I’m lazy. But I’ve become so irritated with how many of my platinum screenshots are black screens or in game menus that I’ve begun using the switcheroo method for some games. It’s nice to have a picture of you know... the actual game. Lol. I also find this can be pretty cool in the prettier games out there with photo modes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
