All games with a Platinum are about 1100-1350 points.
That's news to me. I didn't know they're all in the same ballpark.

lol, so OP is actually full of shit and the trophy situation is solely up to the devs then?
Or 15 seconds. Someone should look up the actual statistics though. The real PSN server trophy rarity is usually a lot lower because PSNProfiles is already for people who are collecting trophies.Amazing how not everyone managed to endure 315 seconds LOL
Lumines is older than Velocity 2X/Ultra.YIt's already been explained that my assumption was based on FuturLab's posts about Velocity, and that according to Chubigans it has changed recently.
Trophies are still a thing?

You're a charmer.

i just think the authoritative tone of your op and the immediate correction of your assumptions is pretty funny
Agreed - the OP needs to make the edits clear and at the top of his post as its a long one and I doubt most will read the corrections...i just think the authoritative tone of your op and the immediate correction of your assumptions is pretty funny

After reading the edit in OP, this seems to be the case.A lot of smaller indie games have a platinum trophy.
Hell, free to play games have a platinum trophy.
I think the lack of platinums are on the devs this time.
They were Sony-funded for some games, it might have an impact. It is probably why it was Sony people making the case instead of them, those guys are actually their producers. Just like for instance Digital Eclipse can't say they want a Platinum if Capcom doesn't want to pay for testing those trophies. If you want the most correct answer, ask them.I didn't know about the Lumines case. How do you explain FuturLab's post, then?

Wow the Megaman trophy list is pathetic. And for people wondering why it matters, many people will be pushed over the edge or just away from a game based on trophies. I bet TWD's easy platinum made a lot of skeptics buy that game while the lack of trophies in Megaman makes the game look insignificant in terms of content when in fact it's tons of games in one. Having a good trophy list can also promote player engagement in the game and keep people playing. Thanks for drawing attention to this issue OP. While it doesn't matter to a huge amount of people there's no good reason for Sony to practically demote games like this by not giving them a full trophy set.
Games aren't real either.
And video games are?
You join a session that is up to level 11/12 or something like that. Join them which will unlock all skill points you would have gathered until that point/unlocks all earlier levels. All Trophies involve specific levels and specific skills like stacking five boxes. There is nothing like a finish the game trophy.Also, how do you plat Trine 2 in 30 minutes?
OP - you have many gratitude as well.
I didn't realize there was an internal policy to begin with.
So it is up to the devs after all?
Anyway, I rather have less trophies(bronze/silver), and add more value to gold, or less of everything but 2-3 platinum instead.
I don't know, it is annoying to see so many useless number.
800 bronze...hurray?
The worse part is when some game fricken automatically saves your achievement/trophy in the gallery so you can share and never miss the moment when you got it.
Probably a share option I bet...I need to look more into it but wow, it is eating away my HD space.

Arent screenshots like 200KB? Maybe 500 at the most.
Wait, so every game can have a platinum, but some devs choose not to have them? Why the hell not?
P.S: Why should achievements and trophies be compared?
These are to different systems and I don't see the need for them to be compared.
Some folks are fans of getting stars..Wait... people are upset about trophies? They seem of very little importance to me tbh. Not sure why they should matter.
Who gives a shit about your drive by post? How about you click on threads that actually interest you?Who gives a shit?
Yeah, I think a lot of devs just don't know that they've loosened their large/small scale game standards.
We didn't even have to ask to get a full Platinum set in Skullgirls 2nd Encore.
Someone should tweet this thread to Boyes and Yosh.

For me it's less about "parity with Xbox" and more about disliking the smaller trophy lists with no platinums since trophies were first introduced.Achievement parity???
I wasn't aware that people compare this stuff across platforms. what's the gamer score (XB) conversion rate to gamer level (PS)

So Trine 2 takes 30 minutes to platinum...thank OP will do at some point
Thanks for the input!
If devs really don't know then I hope Sony make this information more widely accessible within the DevNet. It's kind of a shame that some games end up shipping with 21 bronze trophies, when they could have easily had the Platinum.
I agree that it's a weird problem but I still think trophies are the best points/achievement system by far.
We're always both logged in.
It only works for games that specifically support it, unlike 360 where it is standard.
Some immediate examples of prominent coop games where only 1st player gets trophies would be Resident Evil Revelations 2, LittleBigPlanet 3, and Lego Marvel Superheroes.
I always thought you needed around 40-50 trophies or a certain amount of trophy points to merit a platinum. I do believe that it is in the best interest of the developers to have enough points for a platinum, as it will attract more people to buy the game. The trophyguide scene is pretty huge.
Look for example what the developers did with the game Spare Parts to get their platinum. It was a very short game with only 12 trophies, but they were 10 gold trophies and 2 silver and somehow that gave them enough points for platinum. Pretty smart, but I've never seen something similar done with later games so maybe Sony made some rules against it.
The Walking Dead season 1 (PS3) had a platinum, because they added all the trophies for every episode when the first episode was released, but for The Walking Dead season 2 (PS3) they only had trophies for the first episode and then released new trophies each time the next episode was out. Since it's impossible to update the trophy list for the main game after release, all the next episodes got categorized as DLC, thus omitting the platinum for that game despite it being the same length as season 1. With only 1 episode you have around 8 trophies (not enough for platinum), but with all five combined you get 40 (enough for platinum).
I believe it's up to the developer to fill the game with enough content to meet the criteria for platinum. Probably trophies have to meet a certain requirement before they get approved or else they would be completely exploited by bullshit trophies just so developers could cheese the system to get an easy platinum for their game. What's needed is just some effort and inventiveness from the developers themselves if they want a platinum for their short game. Many are finding clever ways to meet the criteria, I've already seen several short games you can platinum in mere hours.
I don't think discounts necessarily are feasible or worthwhile to implement. But adding things like themes or such might be an interesting way to give an actual reward to Plats. But that's a different discussionI think achievements and trophies need to mean more. Like how xbox one gives you wallpaper. But more. Discounts and whatnot.
