Perhaps the single most unexpected news PlayStation 3 gamers could have possibly received broke overnight. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, which launched exclusively on the PS3 more than four years ago, is getting a Trophy patch. Kojima himself confirmed the news by detailing a “budget version” of Metal Gear Solid 4 that catalyzed the creation of said patch.
This move has brought up an interesting question for the PlayStation faithful that have been eagerly awaiting Trophy patches for other games. If Metal Gear Solid 4 can be patched so long after it came out, why can’t some other older games also get patched? Trophies were first released in 2008 (with Super Stardust HD being the first game to get ‘em), and Trophies didn’t become mandatory until 2009. So our five prime candidates for Trophies below are all from the early days of the PlayStation 3.
IGN : How does the new The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, released in 2025 for Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, Steam, and PS5, compare to the original 2006 Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion released on Xbox 360, played via Xbox Series X/S Backwards Compatibility?
With The Elder Scrolls 6 still far into the future fans have been taking matters into their own hands with projects like Skyblivion.
Skyblivion remakes Oblivion in Skyrim's engine, and the huge mod is nearing completion, but the team could use some assistance.
