Eric Lempel: There will be no Trophies for the PSP
You guys would want to hear this. It’s not the greatest of “good news” you can have — heck, it’s nowhere close being good news at all — but it’s important for you to know about it, nonetheless. Eric Lempel, he who is dubbed as the Director of PlayStation Network Operations, has set forth a final mandate on the issue of Trophies on the PSP. It’s a no, simply put.
You guys would want to hear this. It’s not the greatest of “good news” you can have — heck, it’s nowhere close being good news at all — but it’s important for you to know about it, nonetheless. Eric Lempel, he who is dubbed as the Director of PlayStation Network Operations, has set forth a final mandate on the issue of Trophies on the PSP. It’s a no, simply put.
At last year’s E3, hopes were sparked that the Trophy system just might make it to the PSP after all, especially when the Buzz! Master Quiz presentation appeared to hint at it. Fast forward to this year’s E3.
Nope, you’re not getting any of that.
Joystiq approached Lempel at E3 last week and asked this very question, and this was his blunt reply: “You’re not going to see Trophies on the PSP.” But why, oh why??!? Well it’s all a matter of “keeping it secure, keeping it fair”. We all know what he’s talking about.
“If people can artificially inflate their rankings and amounts of Trophies” using the PSP on a shared PS-wide Trophy system, then it “kills the whole [Trophy] system.” And we know we don’t want a universal failure on the PlayStation’s Trophy system, yes?
Still, sorry to be the bearer of bad news, guys.
