Metal Gear Solid 4 to get Trophies?
Having missed the Playstation 3 Trophy introduction by a month, Metal Gear Solid 4 has been without those ever since which is not a good thing since it’s such an iconic PS3 title.
Well it seems Konami is listening to the woes of gamers everywhere with company employee Brandon Laurino posting the following on the official Playstation Blog:
On the subject of MGS4/MGO trophies and Konami ID – we hear you. We have been circulating these issues internally, and we will report back as soon as we are able.
Sounds promising, let’s just hope they don’t get too busy with their new projects to forget that MGS4 needs those trophies!

Sony: Trophy Support Mandatory from January 2009
VideoGamer carries confirmation from Sony Computer Entertainment America that any PS3 game released after January 2009 will be required to have Trophy support.
Similar to Xbox 360’s Achievements, the Trophy system rewards gamers for doing certain actions in games. It was made available as part of the July PS3 firmware update.
Some older PS3 games like Uncharted and Burnout Paradise have had Trophy support patched in, but a majority of the games in the market don’t support the feature.
Rumor: Sony May be Offering Real-world Rewards Based on Trophies
Offering an interesting perspective on the whole achievements/trophy thing, Sony may try to offer real-world rewards based on players’ trophies, according to a rumor from the Official PlayStation Magazine.
"We’ve heard that SCEA is mulling over some sort of Trophy reward system," reads the magazine. They suggest that while it won’t be cash, it might be access to exclusive betas and the like.
If true, it would seem a nice move to truly reward those die-hard gamers who can actually collect those damn trophies.
Uncharted Patch Adds Trophies
A new patch for Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune has gone live, offering support for the PS3’s trophy system. The 13MB patch will download automatically, with a prompt appearing upon starting the game.
Gamers, however, will need to play through the game once again to be rewarded trophies. It has been done due to the availability of downloadable PS3 save files, which may lead to cheating.
