Can we get some better trophy support for PS4?

Seriously, this is quite lacking. With all of the new content in the game, it'd be great if they added some trophies to go along with them. I know that they add in-game achievements but I'd rather work for something more universal. Warframe seems to add new trophy lists all the time.

What is it with trophies in video games? The Achievements that are updated with every patch in this game is enough.

I only care about achievements on xbox so the trophies don't really affect me but on xbox I like to complete games 100% as much as possible. Having said that, it really pisses me off when a game company adds more achievements to a game I completed and then it's not completed anymore, or if I'm in the process of completing it, it just puts me further from my goal. Again this doesn't really affect me kuz I don't care about trophies the same but just for personal oppinion

You have loads of in-game achievements.
I'd much rather they focus on other, actually significant, stuff.
If we went down this path, then Steam users would start asking for achievements/badges/cards, etc. as well.

But it's significant to me, and I pay the same sub fee as you. I'm sure if they added trophies with new content it wouldn't bring the biggest delay.

Video game companies are only allowed a certain amount of trophies per game that give points unless you just want trophies that give zero. Other than that . Expansion packs and certain dlc bring more trophies but not patches.

Untrue, warframe keeps getting updated and there are no expansions for it.

It is true maybe warframe didn't use all there allotted trophies and decided to add them over time.

Edit after doing some research Warframe didnt have any trophies at its release and as I said added them later.http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/...-trophy-guide/

Could you provide a link or something? I've never heard of a game company only having so many slots for achievements. I know a few games have 99 achievements.

So FFXIV ARR has 39 Trophies even if there is a limit of 99, That leaves room for a lot.

Its not the amount that is the limit, its the score that is associated with the trophies that matters. Just like on Xbox, no retail game can have more than 1000 gamerscore unless DLC's add extra achievements (which I believe are capped at 200 possible points). Trophies work in the same regard. You can only have 1000 points of trophies in a PS3 or 4 game with one little twist. The platinum trophy that is awarded for completing all does not count in the 1000 point limitation.

So to your point, yes there can be an Xbox game with 99 achievements. Each of those achievement would only be worth 10 points, however. The trophy point system works like this:

Bronze - 15pts
Silver - 30pts
Gold - 90pts
Platinum - 180pts

So retail PS3-4 games can offer you a total of 1180-1230 (The plat trophy can push the cap just a bit, but almost all games will not combine for more than 1230 without DLC) points towards your PSN trophy level. I am trying to find the link that confirms all of this (I read it before, but it was a very long time ago) but it is evading me. The scoring conversion rate above is sound though. Go ahead and assign those point values to any of your RETAIL games on your trophy list and they should equal the correct amount. Downloadable (non-retail) games don't work by the same rules, and normally don't have 1000 points worth of trophies.
