Konami Knows Your MGS4 Trophies Need

After announcing the release of the Scene Expansion over on the Playstation Blog, Brandon Laurino (the Online Director for Konami) responded to the numerous comments gamers made requesting the release of a patch for MGS4 that would include trophies into the game. Brandon had this to say in a reply post;

"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."

He makes a few other nods regarding cheaters and the moderation of the Metal Gear Online servers, so it seems like the word is finally starting to reach the upper-tiers of Konami. Only time will tell if they decide to take action.

[Beg For Mercy]

they do i will definitely play it through again.

[Jamegohanssj5]

This would be this only game I would play over for Trophies. I am not a trophy hunter anyway to be honest, but Metal Gear Solid 4 is so amazing.

[XGRaViSmOrSX]

i just wish it had trophies the several times ive been through it already.

but it took komani 6 months to get out a demo for the game so trophies might take a year or two. unfortunately.

i just want finding all those eastereggs to mean something

[lociefer]

i concur

[creamydingle]

Already played through it twice would surely play through again for trophies. I just wish they would get rid of the konami id for online I have never played the game online couldnt be bothered signing up lol but if it was like every other ps3 and used the psn login i would love to give online a try.

[whoelse]

I have been waiting too long to play this again for the Trophies!

Come on Konami, you know it makes sense. I'm sure they would make more money from the expansions as more people would be playing.

[andron]

MGS4 will continue to sell for as long as PS3 is out, so I would hope they patch in trophies. Too bad for us who got the game on launch. But I might play it again sometime.

I see they are planning to release it as Platinum, maybe a patch will come around then...

[legendkilla]

i have beating this game twice now.. im just waiting for trophies to play though again!! how could it take this long???

[Delive]

Add trophies and scrap the Konami ID and replace it with PSN authentication, I'll buy it again. Hell I may even buy it new to make sure the Devs get a kick in, but they should have got it right in the first place.

[Venomish]

I'm waiting for :
trophies
PSN ID
region free online

[meepmoopmeep]

finally!

[Doppy]

I still haven't played MGO. How is it?

[SaiyanFury]

Maybe I'm one of the few here, but I don't need a game to have trophies to enjoy it. I've been through MGS4 like 6 times. I enjoy it every time, and I've never said to myself, "this would be so much better with trophies". No doubt a plethora of people will disagree with me, but I think trophies are unnecessary when it comes to enjoying a game. I guess it just gives people a bit more incentive to keep playing a game they've finished.

[meepmoopmeep]

no, i agree Sai

i don't care for trophies that much, but MGS4 is one of my fav games
that and Valkyria

and i'd love to have trophies for them.

they're great games regardless
and i'll replay them many, many times regardless.

trophies would just be gravy that's all.

[GarandShooter]

@Saiyan

I don't think it's different than replaying to try to earn all the emblems, other than trophies being integrated into the PS3 experience as opposed to just the MGS4 experience. I do agree, that they aren't necessary to enjoy a game and I won't play a god-awful game just to boost my trophy count.

I like trophies, however I am not a trophy whore.

[ThanatosDMC]

I bet they'll have funny trophies... like, watch the guy pee and you get a trophy.

[Megaton]

I've already played through it about a dozen times, but I've put off struggling my way through The Boss Extreme in the hopes of a trophy patch so I wouldn't have to do it again.

[SlyGuy]

Because of trophies, I have found myself going back to games and trying them in NEW ways. Also, trying NEW things in games. They have made most games more fun overall.

However, those trophies that require 'grinding', I could care less about 'em cus they don't add any fun factor. For e.g. collecting all diamonds in fc2.

[rockleex]

They're taking so long because they're too busy working on ZOE3 or a remake of Snatcher/Policenauts! >_<

[LarVanian]

Knowing Kojima he would probably make a trophy where you have to play the entire game walking backwards lol.

[Handsome_Devil]

LOL,, you just made my day :D

+bubble for the laugh

[Jamegohanssj5]

LMAO, bubbles.

TGSI

[SevWolf]

Lol, Bubbles.......

What makes that funny is that I have a feeling that might be true....lmao

[theEnemy]

He will indeed put some crazy way of earning a trophy or two there.

But the Platinum is what I'm after.

It will probably be earning the "Big Boss Emblem" or collecting all Emblems.

[-EvoAnubis-]

That game is nearly a year old. I loved MGS4, but I don't see myself playing it again anytime soon.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

k

[YogiBear]

LOL

[UNCyrus]

wow disagrees speak for themselves

[SAiOSiN]

hell i play it regularly once a month just because lol. trophies are a bonus.

[rhood022]

I played through the game 3 times but I've held off going for the Big Boss award until trophies are released. I would happily play through it several more times to get those trophies--probably one of the few games I'd do that for.

[TOO PAWNED]

i hope they are retroactive, if they add them

[OgTheClever]

Going by past experience, they are almost guaranteed not to be.

[heyheyhey]

nice, hopefully they are filled with more Kojima genius like... i dunno.... kill a Metal Gear Gecko with Metal Gear MK.2 or something (even though that's impossible =D)

[rhood022]

Don't you take down a Gecko with the MK.3 in the Shadow Moses level by plugging into the burned out circuit box to power up the electric floor?

Or does it just stun it?

[heyheyhey]

i meant in a normal combat situation... but i suppose that was a bad example

how about... teabag 70 enemies? no wait, that's more CliffyB style

[rhood022]

haha. True

But in MGS 4, you could probably get a trophy for crotch grabbing/ knocking out a certain number of enemies.

Or taking "sexy" pics of the BB Corp.

[Gun_Senshi]

But MGS4, because its the best game I ever played (Gaming since Commodore64), I will play it again.

[Kushan]

I've given up on them adding trophies to regular ol' MGS4. There's going to be a subsistence version, there always is and now that trophies are mandatory, it's probably worth just waiting for that.

[yaygames]

Hopefully the subsistance will be as free/cheap dlc!

[thesithfreak]

i'll play this game frequently anyways even without them. but with them....man. addiction warning

[spunnups]

I hope they give it the go ahead

[Gaara_724]

i played tro it 8 times IN A ROW when it 1st game out ( i know i have no life) and i would defo do it a 9th time

[The_Firestarter]

That's severely ironic, because I played MGS4 8 times IN A ROW when I got it back in June of 08. lmao

I would definitely play through MGS4 all over for trophies. No questions asked.

[Mr PS3]

Long overdue a Trophy patch
Just leave it a few more months though
I'm to busy Killzowning

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

...i hope so!!!;) Love to get some MGS4 Trophies ;-P

[HDgamer]

They will be worth it.

[macalatus]

The MGS series, and MGS4 is no exception, is one of the few single-player games that I don't mind playing more than once. The trophy is just another great icing on the great! :)

[bigboss911]

i really wish this would happen, but have it retroactive because i already have everything in the single player. or not lol. bigboss award was stupid hard. i ran like a little girl the whole time. how u ask i did this? im not sure my self. im the only one i personaly know thats done it. my friend was pissed when he seen the completion screen. still hasnt done it to this day.

[silverchode]

sold mgs4 to get kz2, to late now.

[Crazyglues]

I mean I still got mine, but I don't think just trophies is enough to bring me back to playing the game...

I need much more then that..

[jeseth]

Please Konami, release trophies.

Give me another reason to replay your masterpiece . . . . .again and again and again.

MGS4 is perfect. The more I think back on the 20 years of Metal Gear leading up to it, the more I think MGS4 is the perfect end to the perfect symphony.

God I loved this game.

[BleuStreeks]

How do you just sell Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.....I bought two copies my self...the regular and limited edition, I framed the limited one because it was signed by Hideo himself.....How could you bro.

[Slinger420]

I don't really need trophies to replay a classic game over and over, but it certainly would be nice to have them :)

[ShinFuYux]

Where did you get it?

[stealthy-guy]

trophies are all good but,i really just want koonami to fix their servers.i hate how i have to earn my rank but others cheat online.for example sometimes im running around the map then i get shot in the head by someone 2 buildings away.with no windows&the guy is cqc holding his teammate it's called cqc glitching

It's cheating thers actually websites that teach u how to lag or glitch.so please koonami just fix this first then patch the game for trophies.

[masterofpuppets]

i know what you guys i mean i beat the game 4 times once on the hardest difficulty just waiting for trophies to re injoin it thats why i never sold it its f-ing alsome

[Andrewww]

... but I still got this game lying on my pile of yet unplayed ones, cause I didn't even think a second it might not have trophies when I bought it, find this pretty pathetic.

It is quite annoying playing through a game and having it patched for trophies afterwards. Not that I play games for trophies only, but collecting them is fun. So I'll play it then, got enough to do for the moment with Killzone 2 being out.

[Bowzabub]

Until it is patched. Where you at Konami?

[SlyGuy]

would probably have the most innovative trophies ever.

[[email protected]]

Gimme trophies and I be back into the game once again XD

[Superduper09]

I'll play the game again for the trophies :), but I have a feeling that these trophies will be time consuming.
