E3 2008: will the PSP get trophies?

Here’s something that may interest PSP owners immensely: the possibility of getting trophies for the PSP. Proof? There’s none yet, but there’s a big hint that was dropped during the Buzz! Master Quiz presentation at E3.. Hit the full article for details.

One good thing you can get from listening intently when someone else is speaking is the ability to read between the lines. It’s even better when the speaker is someone who’s presenting something at E3.

At the presentation of Buzz! Master Quiz during GameSpot Live’s E3 2008 Stage Show, attentive audience who took the time to read between the lines managed to get hints concerning the implementation of the trophy system in the PSP.

Game producer Emerson Escobar informed the audience about the trophy system that will be implemented for the game: answering quiz questions within one second will merit a “lightning finger” trophy, while answering within half of a second will let gamers grab the “supersonic” trophy.

It should be noted that Buzz! Master Quiz is a PSP title. When asked if the trophies mean that the PSP will indeed get its own trophy system, this is all Escobar had to say: “Check back with us later.”

While the idea of the PSP getting trophies looks a bit farfetched at first glance, it should be noted that the PlayStation Network ID covers both the PS3 and PSP, making the concept of cross-platform achievements easier to achieve.

But will this rumor hold water in the upcoming developments? Do stay tuned.
