Once Thought Impossible, PS Classic Super Stardust Portable Just Got Trophy Support

Great news. I played Super Stardust on psvita for the first time and had a blast. The more trophy support the better.

Great news. As to what else…I’d be completely controlled by nostalgia in these situations, so probably RR type4, Wipeout, Destruction Derby, etc (although I’d likely try them for an hour then never play them again, perhaps the trophy campaigns will keep me engaged).

Found this by accident last night and spent a good hour or so playing it (Destiny 2 servers being down).
Really love the StarDust series, and would be incredible (but unlikely) to see a new entry.
We got trophies, I wonder if a "right analog to shoot" patch could be possible (I know it isn't, but I can dream).

PSP games getting trophies was considered impossible on the new tiers???

But I got all of em on the pinball game the other month???

Colin Moriaty will be best pleased lol.

Shame there's no Vita support as Delta with the 2 stick support is much better!

Is the PS3 Super Stardust on the service? I remember the original Stardust that was on the Amiga with the wormhole warp to new sector game element.

@JohnnyShoulder i was thinking the same as I was reading. This will get a big shout out in next week's podcast 😉

@TechaNinja i believe its the first to add retroactively. The original release didnt have trophy support at a time when games could support trophies...could be wrong, but that was what I understood.

This is fantastic Sony patched this with trophies after launch. Gives me hope that other released games like Ridge Racer and Tekken 2 ger the sane treatment in the future.

I wish other devs would do this. I'd love to see Resident Evil get some trophies.

Glad I can finally turn this fun game into a list of chores to complete!

Do I need this if I already have a native PS4 Stardust Ultra?

@tofuman86 The game is considered a separate entity to the other Super Stardust games that have released over the years. However, if you have Plus, you'll be able to play it anyway.

This is great to hear and gives me hope for others getting trophy support. But isn't Super Stardust now 1st party anyways so it should have had trophies to begin with I dunno. I highly doubt we'll see Capcom adding trophies to their 1996 original anytime soon or even at all

I'd love to play through the original Tomb Raider series for some trophies

COLIN WAS RIGHT!!!!

Super Stardust was such an awesome game on PS. I played so much of it and it looked so great for its time. Probably still holds up today. Super fun game. I loved this and Geometry Wars.

The original PS3 one was where I earned my first ever trophy, way back on 2nd July 2008. Will pick this one up!

@TechaNinja Yep couple of pinball plats was more than welcome

While this is good news and as a non Extra or Premium subscriber I especially appreciate that PlayStation allowed me to claim the game for free since I had already purchased it on PSP many years ago, I can't help but feel the work done on this was kind of wasted considering how this is essentially a lower quality version of Super Stardust Ultra, which is already available on PS4 and PS5. Although Ultra is one of the games that has the "may exhibit errors" on PS5 disclaimer. I would've preferred they put the time into patching that instead. Aside for trophies, why would someone want to play a PSP version of a game when there's a PS4 version available?

@FinneasGH
You beat me by 1 day! I earned Hero of Lave on July 3rd 2008.

I'd prefer some good classics before obsessing over weather or not they have trophies 😂

I don't understand this article. Syphon Filter, Ape Escape and Pinball Heroes all had trophies? Why is this new? Why did we eve think this was impossible? Sony said before Premium even launched that some games would have trophy support.

@AK4tywill basically when stardust was launched it DIDN'T have trophies so the idea was that once the game was out and it didn't have trophies that was it BUT now this is the first time the trophies were added AFTER the release of the game. Hope it helps.

@AK4tywill Because guy the game released months ago with no trophies, and Sony put the effort in to patch them in months later. Its huge news.

@GymratAmarillo Ohhh, that makes senses and it is great news. Sony cares even if just a little bit. I couldn't for the life of me get my head around it reading the article, I was thinking "aren't any ps classic games that get trophies doing so retroactively, considering they came out on platforms without trophies."

Sounds awesome. It would be cool if you guys had a list that you updated from time to time that shows every classic game that has trophy support. It’s getting a little hard to keep track of them now and differentiate them from the classics without trophy support.

I think there’s around 9 currently? Not positive on that number though.

I have 40+ ps1 classics on ps3, So far Sony have allowed me to download 4 of them, they really need to properly invest in getting the majority ported to ps4/ps5 with a dedicated ps1 classic trophy patching team, it'll earn them tons of cash, oodles of kudos and reward their most dedicated and patient fans, I guess it's finally happening but so slowly it's painful

Good news. It'll certainly make then get more subscribers
