Steamworks, Steam Achievements and Syncing FFXIV PC to PS3 with Steamworks.

By the Sony SDK Developer Rules they have too. To release a game on the PS3 it has to have Trophies.

Really? That's the first I've heard of such rules.

Actually I can think of a few games which I have on my PS3 which do not have trophies, though the trend today is that they do have trophies.

If you know where I can find these SDK rules it would be nice if you could link them.

What was the release date of those games? PSX/PS2, and Games released before Trophies were implemented on PSN are exempted from the rules. (Metal Gear Solid 4 For instance)

Oh, I got ya. Here's a link to the info on this if anyone else was wondering - http://www.videogamer.com/news/ps3_t...uary_2009.html

"Today a Sony Computer Entertainment Europe spokesperson confirmed that this information is accurate, stating: "Yes from Jan 09 all games must have trophies."

Valkyria Chronicles? It's the only other one I can think of off the top of my head.

On topic, I'd love to see FFXIV on Steam, don't know why it isn't already.

You have PS3 games without trophies because the requirement is relatively new. You're unlikely to find any official version of the certification criteria because it is released to developers under strict confidentiality agreements, but you can find a software news article about the switch to requiring them here.

EDIT: Beat to it.

Trophies were introduced at the beginning of 2009. At that time, Sony would require developers to add Trophies for every game to be release from that year on. You can read more about it here: http://www.videogamer.com/news/ps3_t...uary_2009.html
