Metal Gear Solid 4 will get a Trophy patch, according to an interview with Hideo Kojima in this week's Famitsu. The magazine does not reveal a date for the patch, but MGS4 is scheduled to receive a budget release in in August, so the timing could coincide with that.
Update "This report does appear to be true. The Trophy support will be included out the box with a 3,990 yen "PlayStation 3 The Best" budget version of MGS4 in August. Current MGS4 owners will be able to patch their copy of the game."

Finally
I hope there's a surprise hidden trophy (the plat) that hints MGS5. Like "The end...or is it?" Four years of waiting though there has to be more to this surprise.
I hope the same thing will happen with Ninja Gaiden Sigma.
Talk about 4 years too late, I mean holy crap, it's going to be another 4 years at least till we even see Metal Gear 5, most people have probably sold their copies of MGS4 by now given its only 8 bucks used most places.
All I can say is, luckily there will be no online trophies as that went offline already, seriously, the online game was only being played 4 years later by the biggest fanatics on the planet, does anyone really want to mix it up with those weirdos? lol didn't think so
If I get my hopes up and this is a troll, I will hunt him down and do unspeakable things.
I have serious doubts... why stop support for MGO and then give a trophy patch? Why after all this time? I'm not complaining, I just don't trust a no name site with no proof.
But with such fine writing as this... "There will be some sort of announcement at the this event, Kojima reveals in the interview.", how can I not believe them.
Another quote:
"we're not totally sure of the source for this particular report, but we should have confirmation later in the day."
I'm calling fake here.
A good game is a good game, regardless of when it was released. What's wrong with adding trophies to a game that a lot of people enjoyed? For some it will be a nice excuse to replay the game again.
MGS: Integral
MGS2: Substance
MGS3: Subsistance
And possibly...
MGS4: Sustenance???
Hey ! At least I dont have to hunt down all frogs in 1 playthrough ! :)
Now give us trophies for:
Resistance: Fall of Man
The Orange Box
Civilization: Revolution
Motorstorm 1
Ratchet & Clank Future: ToD and QFB
Folklore
Heavenly Sword
and I'll be even happier.
MEGATON! most wanted trophies since the beginning! I still have my copy too! don't wanna sell it EVER!
Whether or not this story is true, and it actually appears to be, MGS4 is always worth another playthrough.
Secondly, MGO was just shut down and now they re-release MGS4? Although they aren't necessarily related, it just seems odd.
I have a feeling this is false.
And the truly amazing thing is it may not even be the best game in the series.
MGS3's great balance of tight gameplay, great story-telling / soundtrack, and awesome characters (Young Ocelot!) may take that honor.
But MGS4 succeeded in tying up series loose ends and bringing a proper close to Snake's career.
And the ending still gets me every time.
Yes, Big Boss. This IS good. :(
I wish there was a universal system in place across all platforms dating back to NES ... oh the places we've been! I would love to look back and see all the games I've played, completed, etc.
Psyched for MGS Trophies!
Bur what about MGO? Why dont these companies just patch in p2p into their games when they wanna shut off their servers, or at the very least let us rent servers. Heck, they can actually make some money that way. Rather than just let the online portion of their games just die.
p.s. hey Konami, how about while you're at it, do something about the loading ins from chapter to chapter
Gold Trophy: Complete Game Big Boss Mode
Platinum: Earn ALL Medals
!
I'm Ready! :D
and that price is whatever gamestop thinks people will pay for a used copy again just to get the trophies.
No doubt they adjust their prices on used games based on demand. It would not surprise me if they upped the cost by 20-50% in light of this news. Cause they know people who traded in will be back to get a copy.
Glad i still have mine.
@ darth72
Yeah, screw GameStop... Amazon has it new for less than $18 right now. I just told my best friend to mail me back my copy I let him borrow. He moved out of state last week and it was boxed up for the move.

It's a rumor. Don't get too excited yet.

Little more of a legit source.
Funny how they did this right after killing MGO.
Will be popping this in.. after after I finish the MGS collection. needa finish MGS2.
Then do a collectibles run.
... I'll die of killing each type of animal -_-
Can't wait still. Stealth runs I can do, but don't expect me to do collectible KOJIMA D:
Only reason why I can't bother w/ MGS2/3 plats haha. No way am I collecting all the dogtags or all the animals/plants.
Can't wait :D
I'm buying it again.
This isn't just news, it's News with a capital N.
I read this info on MGS4 about 30 mins ago at this link: http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed...
So it does appear to be true....can't wait for August
TGSI
Hope they patch Heavenly Sword with trophies one day!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MGS4 will boost in sales now
1. Super Mario World (snes)
2. God of War (all of em)
3. MGS4 (sublime)
Since they're adding trophies, they should add a f*cking *INSTALL ALL* option, so I don't have to spend 30 minutes or however long it took between chapters. Even if it's 30-50gb, I don't care, I have a 500gb hard drive.
I wouldn't mind installing the whole thing, but I don't think that's going to happen. Sony only allowed RAGE to install about 8GB (allegedly) when John Carmack wanted significantly more (probably).
Don't make speculations like that.
MGO running through PSN...
I would buy a third copy of the game for that.
Maybe this is why they pulled down MGO? One can dream.
If they got rid of that Konami pass crap I'd jump back online in a heart beat with new servers.
\O/
Well, guess I'll keep playing the collection till this happens then and start it over, no worries. :P
@CGI-Quality - I mean at this point. 4 Years ago yeah, now. No one really cares. If they wanted to play it that bad, they would have bought a PS3 by now.
EDIT 2: It's a figure of speech. Comparing the amount of people who cared in 2008, to the amount that care now is a huge difference. Would 360 owners complain? Of course not, but they don't care enough to keep moaning about it like they did 4 years ago.
I completely disagree on MGS3 vs MGS4, but that's for another topic.
Edit: Well, there's no way to gauge who cares and doesn't, but I'd be willing to bet people still care. Either way, the discussion is pointless, because it will never be on the 360.
Edit 2: I don't see any figures of speech. Bottom line, why continue discussing a meaningless topic? No matter what we say about who cares/doesn't care, MGS4 is a PS3 exclusive and will remain so. Nothing left to talk about.
I CARE
You never experienced metal gear solid if you never played metal gear solid 4.
"Would 360 owners complain? Of course not,"
Yes, some neighbors of mine own 360's and they are jealous that metal gear solid 4 is not on the 360. One of my friends started crying because it was not on there system, yelling and i had to kick them out of my apartment.
See tentonsoftubes comment for an example of the above.
MGS4 was announced multiple times to be released only for PS3 from the very beginning.
If they wanted to play MGS4 and bought a 360 instead of a PS3, it's their fault.
OT: If true, late or not, time to go back to some Guns of the Patriots!
@ majiebeast: there's no way in hell that MGS4 would be on X360.
http://youtu.be/AaMQUjBA52g
OT:I will buy another copy just to support Kojima.
Loved MGS4 but the most ironic thing was the joke about disc swapping with MGS1 that Otacon makes, yet the installed were somewhat long, might as well have 4 discs. not trying to diss mgs4 there I just find how that line is funny in more ways.
Either way trophy addition is welcomed.
When you install the data for each chapter, it's installing all the textures for that chapter so, when you use Octocamo, it changes in real time. If you remember changing the camo in MGS3, even in a menu, there was a pause, using the HDD eliminate that change over and also sped up the loading.
I'd say, at the time, there was a limit on hard drive sizes for installs, hence the changes, but with GT5 and RAGE, maybe we'll get the 1 time install.
Couldn't care less for trophy support, but I might actually be tempted to replay the game every now and then if I didn't have to run into those installs.
Best of all, with MGO shut down, there won't be any online trophies!
Also, the platinum trophy absolutely needs to be named "Kept you waiting, huh?"
On one hand I hate that MGO shut down, because it really was fun. Definitely unique! On the other, I'm also really happy there won't be any online trophies. Online modes should NEVER have trophies. They should be about YOUR accomplishments in my opinion.

That's the best kind of release there is.
