LucasArts Senior PR Manager Adam Kahn has confirmed that the upcoming PlayStation 3 version of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will not include trophy support.

Speaking with Talk PlayStation, Kahn stated, “The Force Unleashed does not support the trophy system on PS3.  I can’t speculate about what might happen in the future, though.”

While this confirms that the game will not support trophies upon its release, there is still a possibility that a patch may be released to incorporate this feature at some point in the future.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is scheduled for release in September 2008.

    This is a shame but anybody who says they aren't buying a game they were planning on buying just because it aint got trophy support really are stupid.

    Wow,  I'm going to pass up this game because all of the sudden I feel like trophies make a game worth playing.  So who cares about this games awesome potential.  No trophies, no buy lol.

    I really don't care if a game has trophy support or not. We've already survived however many years without it, it's not like it's reflective of the actual gameplay. I've really liked the teasers/trailers that I've seen so far. Provided it still looks good in Sep I'll be buying it.

    Well, it's sad of course, but who cares, as long as the game's good :) I've already preordered it anyway, being a Star Wars fan. Besides I really like the trailers/teasers and gameplay footages. Euphoria engine rules! :)

    Would you guys rather the game be delayed so they can implement trophies (since most likely it wasn't in their dev scope) or have the game release on time and have it patched later? I for one choose the latter, and I'm sure the shareholders would agree.

    Jesus, why all the "NO BUY" because it hasn't got trophies?  Jesus, there's more to gaming than trophies people, they even said it looks likely for a patch anyway.

    Talk about jump on the trophy wagon.

    how hard is it to release a patch that includes it, if the guys with  Drakes Forture can do it why cant they????

    They couldn't just take the 360 achievements and split them into Bronze, Silver, and Gold?

     I'll buy it when they patch it. it's to bad. I was really looking forward to this game. Not having Trophies makes it hard for me to spend money on a game now a days.

    Wow. seriously, you guys are retarted, just because it doesnt have trophies, doesnt mean you cant buy it now... and you F*^%ing wonder why we get crappy ports? this is the exact reason, most ps3 owners dont buy many games. im buying about 30 games this year, and this is one of them, even if it doesnt have trophies.

     God damnit! That's just not cool. I had high hopes for this game. Trophies are icing on the cake. 

    NO TROPHIES NO BUY DAMNIT!!!

    Wow there are to many people obsessed with trophies now, some that I wouldn't have expected. So if you're that addicted get a 360 lol.

     @ above.

    Trophies are much different and better than achievements in every aspect. If a game doesn't plan to support everything they should, then I think they should take 10$ off the game.

    I can understand them not having them at launch if they are far enough along, but at least officially announce that they will be patched in to calm the masses.

    At least starting in 09, they will be mandatory.

    You guys have got to be joking? I think the whole trophy thing is silly. I mean do I  really need a JPEG image to make me feel good about a game?  Hey look at me, I got a gold bogus trohy for playing this game, I think I now have 4 or 5 games that support trpohies and frankly I dont care, I dont know if Ive earned a trophy or not. If your self esteem is sourced from a jpeg trophy on your screen you have issues.

    How hard is it to incorporate Trophies? Uncharted got it out pretty quick. Also the game's not coming out till a few more weeks. At least spend that time making them up so we have them patched through soon. I tell you, I have a 360 also and already I enjoy getting trophies alot more than achievements. Ever since MGS4 came out I haven't even looked at my 360.

    Its a shame there are no trophies on release but you guys are taking this the wrong way. You shouldn't decrease PS sales by not buying the game because of no trophy patch. If sales on the PS3 are low for this game Lucas Arts will see little to no reason for focusing on future PS3 games. They will just divert all their attention to the 360 because that will be their greatest target market. You should buy the game anyway it is gonna be great and there is a possibility that it still will get a patch.

    Why no trophies? stupid. OPM had a hands on with this game and said it looks like a weak game. And the action is unengaging and basic. :( oh well shaping up to be another one of this years hyped dissapointments :(

    I will still get the game but I do hope Trophies will be patched at some point.  I can understand that they would not want to delay the schedule for something that was recently released by Sony.  I wouldn't want them to delay it either but I do hope they come out with a patch after the release for them.  Some might not care about Trophies and that is fine but others like me do and that is fine too :).

    Developers really know how to make people turned off to their game - then they wonder why they aren't selling as well as they could...

    /sigh

    thats cute, tell us were not getting a feature that would take a week tops to add (if you take it into consideration before the games finished) and not even give us a reason why, lame

    but seriously guys youre going to just blow this seemingly awesome game off just because there isnt trophies at launch (i would almost bet on a patch)? thats even lamer
