Someone give Rockstar a trophy ... for finally bringing PlayStation Trophies to the PS3 version of Grand Theft Auto IV. According to the latest GTA mailing list email, the update will be available for download on Monday, Oct. 27.
Rockstar has promised 51 Trophies in total, including: "One Man Army" (survive a six-star wanted level for five minutes); "Dare Devil" (execute all of the city's unique stunt jumps); "Chain Reaction" (blow up 10 cars in under 10 seconds); and "Liberty City Minute" (complete the game in less than 30 hours).
The official GTA IV site will be updated Monday to include the full list of Trophies ... which, given the ones announced today, will likely be identical to the list of Achievements available in the Xbox 360 version.

"Save for this mysterious 51st Trophy."
that's the platinum one you dolt's

And of course we'll have to start a new game to get all of them.

The "mysterious 51st" trophy is probably just the platinum trophy awarded for unlocking every other trophy.

u know it was actually fun obtaining these achievements while playing GTA4....
going back to troll a game to obtain trophies is just plain a waste of time and shows what some people consider important in life.
DOES ANYBODY ACTUALLY CARE WHEN ITS ANNOUNCED THAT A GAME THAT ALREADY RELEASED IS GETTING TROPHY SUPPORT IN THE FUTURE>??
and the zombie infected DLC for my 360 version of the game doesn't sound too bad and can turn gta4 into a whole new game....

I was done with GTA many months ago and I have sold it, I will not buy it again just for trophies. Now if Sony implements a reward program for trophies to be used in home or other DLC, I might change my mind.

The zombie infection isn't DLC. It's a change to the multiplayer games on and around Halloween.

curtis thanks for the clarification..

better late then never?

Hey Rockstar, why not also add a custom soundtrack support to the game along with the trophies while your at it? I don't get why you can't add both......
I hope that all future PS3 titles will be required to support both features.

The 360 version has that. If it was something you cared that much about that is the version you would have bought.
Chin-Poh @ Oct 24th 2008 7:19PM
That's the version I have. I had the PS3 version until it damaged my PS3 and I got rid of both.
Now I'm thinking of getting a gaming PC and the PC version. : D

About time, now to play through it a second time!
j.howlett @ Oct 24th 2008 5:36PM
i'm not sure how to look at it. on one hand i'm only about halfway into the game, on the other i'm already halfway through the game. i don't have a desire to show off trophies but it's like a challenge if it's there i might want to go for it. in past games i liked doing all the side stuff and here is more side stuff added

GTA4 wasn't that much fun and I won't be playing it through again. I finished it once and that's good enough for me. This game needs original soundtracks,not trophies.

just downloaded it! looks like you do need to restart you game to get them :

Ugh...what garbage. Maybe they should have considered those who have already beaten the game and have the progression trophies unlocked according to the game saved data...and then you could do the silly challenge ones, i.e. "one man army." This seems like a lame attempt to make players play the game again...Playing GTA4 again isn't like walking your dog...it's like walking a boulder.
