Nice list.
In all honesty,
I don't even imagine to get the plats on these games.. with the exception of Demons Souls and CoD:W@W (since i do have the plat)

BUt the rest require hella dedication/grinding or skill.

I do salute people who have gotten wipeout HD Plat.. in my book.. thats the hardest one and you earn my respect.
(i had done 33% before the game shot me down and said YOU SUCK)

Tru_Blu5216d ago

I'd give Resistance 2 a honorable mention. That 10k kills online trophy is an insane amount of grinding. I got up to about 1k and just gave up on it, would take way too much time for a multiplayer that IMO wasn't all that good. Please take note, IMO, that is just my opinion.

mugoldeneagle035216d ago (Edited 5216d ago )

I haven't played a few of them (DJ Hero, Disgaea 3, or SFIV) but the rest I have. I'd disagree with Rock Band 2 as #2 though. I got the Platinum trophy, by myself with no help for the most part (aside from multiplayer trophies), and the only real hard trophy was the The Bladder of Steel. And even that was just more or less time consuming. I might even say Beatles Rock Band is more difficult just because of the vocal trophies

If we're talking about your average gamer, I'd put SOCOM Confrontation a lot higher. I'm 30 some hostage extracts away from the Platinum and I consider myself real good, so that would be tough for an average player. Wipeout HD and Warhawk are probably my top 2 for hardest.

But for the most part I'd say that list is spot on

A Cupcake for Gabe5216d ago

Top 1% of the Week to receive the Valor 4 Gold Trophy in Killzone 2.

If Killzone 3 has this I won't attempt it. That was a strain on my life to get. And I lost a lot of sleep playing all damn day to get it.

nordberg5216d ago

Wipeout HD (me too i give up at less than 50%) and Warhawk is the top 2 for hardest.

PS:The only game i remove from that list is rock band 2 and maybe i put GTA4 somewhere in this list instead.

bruddahmanmatt5215d ago

Seeing as they've listed a few multiplats they might wanna add Battlefield: Bad Company, Far Cry 2 and Grand Theft Auto IV to the list while they're at it. I also heard that MK vs. DC Universe was a pain in the ass to get as well. As for PS3 exclusives that didn't make the list, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift comes to mind.

Maddens Raiders5215d ago (Edited 5215d ago )

I've got WipeoutHD, WarHawk, KILLZONE 2 in that order.

Motorstorm 2 is up there too, but that would be cheap for me to say since I have it.

WildArmed5215d ago

*salutes*

You just named all the plats I failed at getting no matter how hard i tried.

Though Killzone 2 wasn't that hard. Got that game in August 09.. and platted it soon afterwards.

Maddens Raiders5215d ago

but I don't deserve it. I just think that the article list is wrong and I have a plat in MS2:PR. You've got a plat in KILLZONE 2?

I salute you.

DarkTower8055215d ago

Top 1% in KZ2 was actually pretty easy. I got it putting in 3 hours/day for the week no problem, and that was back in Late March when the game was still played alot. Getting it now should not be an issue unless you're not very good.

WildArmed5215d ago (Edited 5215d ago )

oh sorry, i seem to have misunderstood. >.<
I was like.. OMFG someone actually has the plats and got too excited to read it all the way through..

And I do agree that Motorstorm PR is hard.. i spent over 30 hours trying to play that game while i was in D.C. with my cuzin, but alas.. I only could finish 2 races and qualified.

http://ps3trophycard.com/pr...
K2's hardest trophy would be elite..
2 parts had me stuck for an hour:
1) The bridge -- cross the bridge while the enemies spam the grenade launchers in ur face xD
2) first wave of Radec's palace. That was tooooo hard D: (took me 2 days for that one alone!)

Oh, even though the LAST GUY doesn't have plat.. that gayum was super hard D:

@1.1
I dont think R2 deserves that. (trophy wise... i mean.. the game is great!)
The 10k kills is just a huge grind fest and the only trophy that is hard. While most games have a combination of grinding and skill-related trophies..
(Superhuman mode in R2 was easier than Hard =/ )

I'm currently clocked in at 6~7k kills and play the game every Christmas in D.C. Since my cuzin is a R2 addict

bruddahmanmatt5215d ago

I never understood what the big deal was with the plat for KZ2. By far one of the easiest plats I've ever obtained. The Top 1% was a bit of a seven day grind to ensure that I made the cut before the ranks were reset on Sunday, but the single player campaign on Elite was not that hard. I still think that the obnoxious grenade spam I had to put up with while playing COD:WAW on Veteran difficulty was a bigger pain to deal with than Radec's goons.

Mirror's Edge should be on the list.

It's so frustrating to get 50 stars on time trials.

And if you want 100% you have to get 90 stars. It's possible, but very frustrating and time consuming.

Pillage055216d ago

Yeah, I gave up on Mirror's Edge platinum after like the second chapters time trial. But I did get Demon's Souls platinum...which isn't as hard as it is time consuming. roughly 120hours of playtime for myself. Although with everything I've learned about that game now, I'm pretty sure I could get the platinum in less than half the time now if I started over.

mrv3215216d ago

Battlefield Bad Company IS imposssiple. Seriously it's impossible.

SpaceFox5216d ago

I have that. Check out my trophy list. PSN: spacefox00

It's impossible without boosting. If you manage to get some friends together and find some empty rooms, you can get all those awards pretty quickly. And 10k kills just needs a lot of playtime.

Inferno5216d ago

I only got Demon's Souls plat from that list, going for NGS 2 later on.

Redempteur5216d ago (Edited 5216d ago )

i agree on that list !

but killzone 1% trophy is a little hard to get ...

lol you can't get plati on Rb2 with at least one friend ..

there are challenges that require 4 people to get ( you can't get 8x without 4 people )

you can't get 1mil point without at least 2 people ..

but i must say once you get friends to play with you , there is no problem at all to get this plati ..

it's actually quite fun

Pillage055216d ago

I got that Killzone 2 trophy the 2nd week the game was out...I think I only went to bed 2 nights that week just to make sure I'd get it. And some of the unlocks for certain badges used to be harder than they are now. Like the air turrets, used to be lucky if those things killed even one person in an entire match.

Redempteur5216d ago

well sure the firsty two week that was easy but now ...

it's like the online trophies for SF4... it was easy the first weeks , now i wonder how you could have 10 victories in a row with all the ken swarming around ...

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow3d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1822d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie2d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere1d 19h ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow1d 5h ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney23h ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno2d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno2d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

1d 22h ago
fsfsxii2d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno1d 22h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
