Seems like a really good update. Finally can hide my trophies that are 0% lists!

bilzdabest3852d ago

Love that their still updating despite ps4 around the corner.
This is why we love you sony.

Shane Kim3852d ago

I think these updates are just because of that. To get the best online experience before (and after) PS4 is released.

saladthieves3852d ago

I would agree with Shane Kim.

They just want to streamline everything and create similar experiences on both platforms (PS3 and PS4).

I wouldn't be surprised if the PSP got an update that did a similar thing.

On the side of trophies, this is really neat. I wish I could also delete those 0% lists of games that I no longer have, but this is a welcomed update!

Mr Pumblechook3852d ago

I've hidden some games that have 0% completion yet when I go to PSNProfiles.com they are still showing and affecting my completion ratio. Any ideas why?

eZJrg6ur3852d ago

It doesn't actually remove the games from your profile, so they are going to still show up on sites like PSNprofiles.com.

taco_tom2373852d ago

earn a trophy and sync your profile then update your profile on the site and they should be gone

Deadpoolio3852d ago

Because it only hides them from other people....Which is where I think people are getting confused...It doesn't remove them from your list it doesn't take them out of anything, it just stops everyone else online from seeing them when they look at your profile they are all still there for you

Deadpoolio3852d ago

From other people....Why exactly are people so excited about being able to hide trophies again from other people....It still stays plainly visible in your list when you view it....

I don't see the point of the hiding trophies feature.

eZJrg6ur3852d ago

Some people feel trophy notifications break immersion in certain games. That is why Heavy Rain only gave you trophies after you completed a level, as opposed to mid-mission. Lone Survivor straight up tells you to turn off trophies when you start the game, in order to not break the sense of immersion.

Minato-Namikaze3852d ago

That's not what this us. Hiding trophy notifications has been around for a couple months.

VonBraunschweigg3852d ago

Jup. I remember finishing Uncharted 3, right at the moment where gameplay stopped and the last cinematic started BLING the trophy showed up and the cinematic continued. It didn't ruin the experience but I remember I didn't like it, could have been postponed untill the credits.

I like they fixed it. And the horrible mandatory Sing Star icon in the gamesection is gone too:)

ThanatosDMC3852d ago

It's for trophy whores, i think.

dantesparda3852d ago (Edited 3852d ago )

@Nevin

Me neither

GreenRanger3852d ago

I can't find out how to transfer stuff between the Vita and PS3 via WiFi.

Maybe the Vita is getting a firmware update to allow it, soon.

gano3851d ago

To be honest that and the trophy hiding does not work for me.
Is this just meir what, but i agree. They need a secnd update.

PAYNEinc853851d ago

Tiny ass update took me nearly 15 minutes to download and install. My internet is about 15 m/b so it's not my internet. I hate PS3 updates.

SaulGoodman3851d ago

Waaaaaaahhhhhhh! 1st world problems. Deal with it.

SaulGoodman3851d ago

I know this sounds like trolling to some, but Playstation is taking a steamroller to X1. I don't think theres any doubt left that Sony will not be the victor in this console war. I know they haven't started yet but I've had an epiphany...and PS4 wins.

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil4d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai3d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing693d ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle3d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal3d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa3d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

boing13d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
