Topic: The Trophy Discussion Thread

@Oram77 Apologies if I'm too late, but if you have a digital copy of Tomb Raider I-III Remastered, you can play the PS4 version and get three separate trophy lists for the three separate games, each with their own platinum. It's only the PS5 version that lacks plats, thanks to the new trophy rules for the current generation. Again, I'm real sorry if you've already made significant progress on the PS5 version!

@Yousef- How are you getting along with those Sonic Lost World achievements? Brave of you to attempt playing that game, let alone trying to 100% it. Not the Blue Blur's finest hour!

@Werehog it’s a terrifying endeavor. I’ve had a few close calls winse I realized I’m forced to use, I kid you not, LIMITED DLC items which may be the most tone-deaf approach to a game’s achievements… ever?

They’re finite within a save file and lost world, in its infinite wisdom, decided to have a singular save file that only auto saves, ever. So if you mess up, it’s best to shut down the game IMMEDIATELY and pray you didnt trigger it by mistake.

Despite by 49/100 progress, I’m actually already feeling burned out due to… playing lost worlds in itself, which is already a tall order.

The DLC item in question is called a black bomb, by the way. I’m not sure why it’s even there, it barely does anything, it’s extremely inconvenient to obtain and it’s easy to lose it by accident.

@Yousef- Good grief, I thought you were referring to the extra lives DLC controversy! Had no idea they'd locked other items behind a similar scheme! That's just awful, and yet another critical hit to a game which can't exactly afford to tank any more hits as it is!

Just so long as the experience isn't making you hate Sonic. I wouldn't blame you for walking away!

@Werehog ARE YOU ACTUALLY TWISTING MY NIPPLES?!? I'VE JUST GOT 100% FOR BOTH 1 & 2 (including the DLC) WHY THE FUDGE AREN'T THERE PLATINUMS FOR THE PS5 VERSION!?!
*the caps aren't directed at you

@Oram77 dang, I guess the honor of the 153th plat will go to another game D:

@Oram77 Of all the weeks to be AFK, I'm real sorry!

Sony instituted a new rule with the PS5, whereby each individual game launcher can only have one base trophy list, and platinum trophies must be tied to a base list. It's why Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 makes such a mess of your dashboard, installing all of its games separately so that they all get their own trophy lists with their own plats. Because of how it's presented, Tomb Raider I-III Remastered on PS5 chose to list all of its separate games as DLC. The collection has no base list and is therefore not allowed a platinum.

Back on PS4, compilation releases like Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Legacy could sit happily under one launcher while including multiple base trophy lists for their individual games. This still works if you play them on PS5 via backwards compatibility. Subject to these older rules, the PS4 version of Tomb Raider I-III Remastered includes three separate base lists for its three main games, with their expansions included as DLC beneath them (click here, here and here). Plats aside, the trophies are identical to the PS5 version.

After some minor outcry, Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered on PS5 switched things up by including a base trophy list for its first game, The Last Revelation, meaning it could come with a plat. The trophies for its two other games, Chronicles and The Angel of Darkness, are listed as DLC and are therefore not required for the plat. Back on PS4, however, all three games get their own separate lists again.
