PixelJunk Monsters dev teases Trophy patch
Buried deep down on a PlayStation Blog post about PixelJunk Eden and the Trophies available in the game, is an odd little paragraph about possible Trophy support for PixelJunk Monsters. Dylan Cuthbert, president of Q-games, developers of PJM and PJE, mentions he's been "inundated" with requests for Trophy support in Monsters. He says the company is looking into it and will badger the game's producer at Sony, Deborah Mars, "to get some dates set."
The information is a bit ambiguous and we're guessing is designed as a tease for an incoming PJM patch. Cuthbert also says the patch will "implement XMB music and a couple of other things." Considering we know PlayStation Blog posts are "checked," information like this doesn't just slip by. Looks like we're going to have to stop playing PJM Encore and wait 'til that Trophy patch gets added, because we're guessing the achievements won't be applied retroactively.

I fear the 'Get All Rainbows' Gold Trophy.

Friggin' awesome. This is, by far, the best downloadable game on the PSN (not counting "full" games, like GTP, Warhawk, and arguably Tekken). I haven't played a lot of it, though, because I've been so busy with life things. Maybe when the trophies come back I'll try to entice the SO into playing the game with me.

You know PJM was the game that really had me wanting to own a PS3. And I love that game.
If that sounds a bit odd, that a $10 was a system seller, don't worry...Geometry Wars was my reason for buying the Xbox 360. Yeah...I'm odd.

Especially when Geometry Wars is on Steam, yes, yes you are

This game is great, but I find it too difficult. I gave up halfway through medium - the only relief is from the multiplayer (which is incredibly fun). However, I do believe I've gotten my money's worth out of this game - I've played it for well over 15 hours, and I bet I'll play it a lot more once the trophies and in-game music come out for it.

Yay. I wonder what the "couple of other things" will be.

Sony has been killing my desire to play their games lately. I was playing through Hard on Uncharted when I heard that it might be receiving Trophies (okay I'll hold out and play some PJM). So I finished PJM last night and started to go for rainbow (now this). My Achievement Whoring ways are backfiring!

He said in a later post on the blog that they're working on making the trophies retroactive because he wouldn't want you to have to get all those "rainbows" again.
I'm not sure the exact verbiage, but it was along those lines.

Hey what in blue hell happened to my avatar?

Considering the sales figures for SSHD after Trophies materialised I'm not surprised that PSN title developers are looking at the Trophy system to boost downloads.

cool. just bought PJM today. maybe i should wait to play it until the trophies come out since i know they probably wont be retro active.

I don't see why the couldn't be retroactive. The reason the Burnout trophies will be retroactive is because the save file is linked your PSN account, and in the case of these downloadable games, the entire game is linked...
