Kojima Productions talks MGS4 Trophies

Kojima Productions has moved to reassure punters still clinging on to the hope of seeing Trophy support in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots that the firm is taking all your comments on board – it just hasn’t got anything to announce on the matter right now.

Speaking in a recent podcast, Konami's Sean Eyestone commented, “Just to address one issue that we’ve been getting a lot of comments about. And this is, of course, about trophies.”

“I just wanna tell everybody out there right now that your voices are being heard and that we’re not ignoring you. We hear everything that you are saying. It’s just that we can’t say anything just yet.”

So, those of you clamouring for Trophies needn’t worry – Konami is listening to your woes. However, Eyestone went on to say that the firm doesn’t currently have anything to announce on the subject just yet, and requested fans remain patient for the time being.

“But as soon as we have something to say, we will announce it. So, if we can just ask everyone to just be patient, we will give you an answer. But right now we can’t say anything. So we just ask for everyone’s understanding with that and just ask for everybody to remain patient and we’ll let you know,” he added.

    Lets stay hopeful.   I think its the one game that EVERYBODY wants trophies for.

    Ugh.. I don't want to start Big Boss Extreme if trophies come out like a month later or something.

    Hope they announce something soon.

    I've been putting off my 3rd playthrough till trophies are released, its been the only thing stopping me from playing it again.

     As I said earlier in one thread:

    Considering that since MGS was launched on PSX, Konami has released updated versions of every major episode in the series:

    Metal Gear Solid: Integral
    Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance
    Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence
    Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Plus

    So my guess is that we will see something similar happen to MGS4 and it will probably be released with trophies!

    lets issue a statement that states absolutely nothing!

     They are hearing but hopefully do listen and DO it

    Gran Turismo 5 Prologue could use trophies too, I guess...

    Just put them in, it is totally the wisest step. MGS4 WAS collecting dust next to my Lucas Arts STARWARS FORCE UNLEASHED; now it is just MGS4 collecting dust, imagine all that multi[player loss too. A tip of the hat to LUCAS, here is hoping to tip my hat at you folks.,

    Did I just imagine that this statement came out about 6 months ago or is it the usual 'PSU exclusive news' being reported when a staffer comes across something that everyone else reported a loooong time ago?

  12. NeauxFear | Shadeaux

    • 3:05pm BST - August 7th, 2009

    Well, it has been awhile since I played MGS4. Maybe I'll get back to playing it when they release trophy support.

     I believe trophies will eventually come, but not at the moment.

  14. psmgamer | Demonhunter84

    • 3:51pm BST - August 7th, 2009

    I am guessing we'll have trophies for beating the game, trophies for online, and trophies for beating the game without being seen or killing anyone. I haven't played MGS4 after buying it earlier this year again for the second time but if trophies come out I'll give it another go.

    I played through 6 times getting the badges.  I would not mind doing it again for trophies.

  17. PLAYSTATION_Cipher

    • 5:39pm BST - August 7th, 2009

    Yes Kojima please! Trophies is probably the only way for me to replay this game again. Bring on the Trophy support!

    MGS4 needs to be patch with Trophies asap.

    Here's a list of software that needs to be patched with Trophies:

    Gran Turismo 5 Prologue

    Heavenly Sword

    Valkyria Chronicles

    DMC4

    Folklore

    Ninja Gaiden Sigma

    Dark Sector

    Trophies suck

    • 6:28pm BST - August 7th, 2009

    I don't really care if MSG4 has trophy support I don't play it anymore but if it eventually does good news for the trophy hunters.

     

    @19 troll much?

  21. n0na90 | nona90

    • 7:04pm BST - August 7th, 2009

    MGS 4 and Assassin's Creed, the two games I've always wanted trophies for. And Uncharted, but that wish came true :D

    • 9:50pm BST - August 7th, 2009

     Isn't it a little late to be adding trophy support? I'm PSYCHED for this, but it certainly took them long enough to acknowledge our wishes.

  28. TestosteRohne | TestosteRohne

    • 10:17pm BST - August 7th, 2009

    But it wouldn't be retroactive.

    Save it for a MGS4 special Edition instead.

    The day MGS4 have trophy support is the day my soul will be drained int the game.....

    i already beat this game 7 times but i more go wont hurt at all

    • 12:17am BST - August 8th, 2009

    I think Konami will still get comments right up until they say something that actually matters and gives us a good reason to be patient. I now know exactly what I've known before they said this.

  33. XAversionX | aVeRsioN_X

    • 12:38am BST - August 8th, 2009

    well this should mean it will happen.. if not why tell us all to be patient?

  34. Aramil_Caelan

    • 12:56am BST - August 8th, 2009

    ok, im just AMAZED we havent seen trophies for this game yet

    how are they still discussing this?

  35. Hulk1215

    • 3:05am BST - August 8th, 2009

    I've also put off my second playthrough because I'm waiting to see if they add Trophies.  Sounds lame but whatever.

  36. killerAK-47

    • 5:28am BST - August 8th, 2009

    please do so with the trophies,so i can beat it over and over again.plzzzz!!

  37. PSU_fail

    • 5:29am BST - August 8th, 2009

    I have stopped beating this game over and over with the hope of a trophy release.  I been throuygh it I don't know how many times, but I would like something to show for it.  At least Konami is not ignoring people like most companies, looking at you EA, Valve, and Activision.

  38. darthrazorback

    • 6:38am BST - August 8th, 2009

    If they finally put trophies in this game, I will buy every damn DLC for it right away.

  39. Large_Tonberry | Jon_Bright

    • 7:34am BST - August 8th, 2009

    It already has in-game unlockables, so Trophies aren't necessary.

  40. Durananator123

    • 7:59am BST - August 8th, 2009

     YES!!!!!!!!!

  41. darthrazorback

    • 8:02am BST - August 8th, 2009

    39... that makes no sense. The fact that it HAS in game unlockables is why it should be EASY to make trophies.  And in-game unlockables are not the same as trophies.  Do you even understand the concept of why trophies are important to people?

  42. Rafaelcbf12 | Rafaelcbf

    • 1:13pm BST - August 8th, 2009

    I don't understand why trophies are important to people, I wouldn't go as far as to say they suck but I don't care for them. Can someone make me care?

  43. darthrazorback

    • 1:18pm BST - August 8th, 2009

    If you don't care then so be it.  But those who do care, well, it matters a lot. :)

    You hear everything, eh? Don't bother, the game sucks.

    Assassin's Creed Troph Patch. End of.

    • 1:34am BST - August 9th, 2009

    @44 is AC that sucks! i got it all wroung. -_-

    trophies are useless anyway...wats the point?

  46. deathkrutcher

    • 4:25am BST - August 9th, 2009

    I want trophies for this title, and for devil may cry 4, resistance:fall of man and guitar hero world tour, in fact, all ps3 games without trophy support must be included, is my opinion cuz trophies is pretty much wht motivates us to play the game, who agrees?

  47. Bigdoggy | Gypscrew

    • 5:29am BST - August 9th, 2009

    How stupid, it's been this long and they still couldn't add trophies in YET?  whatever, played the game, been there done it, no need for trophies anymore.   I know for a fact it doesn't take this long to put trophies in the game.  Give me a break.

    You just made yourself look like an idiot. Read though your post again for the obvious typo...
