There's only one thing some people want more than a brand new Metal Gear Solid game -- and that's a Trophy patch for Metal Gear Solid 4. Kojima Production's premiere PS3 game launched over a year ago, long before Sony required the addition of achievements to all games. The latest Kojima Productions podcast talked a little bit more about Trophies: "I just wanna tell everybody out there right now that your voices are being heard and that we're not ignoring you. We hear everything that you are saying. It's just that we can't say anything just yet. But as soon as we have something to say, we will announce it. So, if we can just ask everyone to be patient, we will give you an answer."
We're not exactly sure what's taking so long to announce whether or not the team is working on a patch. A one word answer -- a "yes" or "no" -- would certainly appease those that have been anxiously waiting.

The reason why Kojima Pro can't say anything about Trophies? They're going to be included in the inevitable MGS4 re-release. That's my theory, anyways.

It's likely they will announce them with the re-release of MGS 4, but also a trophy patch should be coming to Guns of the Patriots as well.

And that would be the reason I have yet to play or own MGS4. Not the trophies mind you, but the utter fact that every FREAKIN TIME, theres a substance/directors cut strangely soon to follow. So, if that happens and trophies are accompanied, then count me a happy camper.

omg this will be HUGE
I have been holding of on another replay hoping kojima would make like spike lee and do the right thing.
I sure hope he's not just teasing us. A simple yes, or even maybe would have sufficed.

Maybe they're making TWO sets of trophies, one for MGS4 and one for MGO.

i agree, i love all things MGS related, MGS1-4 even Acid 1 and 2, but MGO ffeels so lame to me. i hope they kep the trophies seperated. a patch for mgs4 and a patch for MGO.

I don't know why making those damn trophies is taking them so long (perhaps Andrew Yoon is right about his theory). All they have to do is LINK those Emblems to some Trophies and voilá! Much like Uncharted had its Medals linked to Trophies.

Nothing like a over a year after release. And yes chances are they will include MGO just so they can get some interest again. And since it is Konami/Kojima it will me a patch that will take about 6 to 8 hours to download and apply like all the others.
If they are listening maybe they will do away with the Konami sign in process. That would be quite handy. Maybe even a trophy just to sign in will be available

I've been borrowing MGS 4 for a while, but haven't gotten to it yet. Trophies would certainly push me towards it.

Any re-release they do doesnt have to be a full version seeing as they can just release it as DLC... which would mean that they're probably working on an add on for MGS4, which might be why they can't talk about it yet! They release patches for MGO all the time so they MGS4 add on could come with the next MGO pack offering trophies for both because MGO never really required MGS4 it's just that this is how they sold it to people. I think it's even a separate downloadable game in japan.

what would they be able to add on to it? the game was already incredible, that's like beating a dead horse.

why would you ever want to do missions as Meryl? Two protagonists aren't enough for you?

Well now, just like The Force Unleashed, I'm going to wait to see if this trophy patch materializes. (TFU is coming, so I don't have to hold my breath on that for too long.) I just recently started playing MGS4, so I'm only through the second cut scene. (Yeah, I know, I know, I should be farther... WoW drains the life out of me.)
Hopefully, we'll see this sometime in our lifetime.

I reckon they'll bring trophies to the game when MGO starts to die down and less and less people are playing it.

Of course it was. Just loling@people who actually hate the idea of it being on 360. They're just consoles people.

Just as long as there aren't like 5 countdowns and a bunch of "clues" to what his decision will be.

hmm this puts me in a quandary. i am part-way through the game, just beat Laughing Octopus, (yeah i know, but the whole doesnt save until a cut scene thing makes it hard to play when i have a baby and can't be sure how much time i have to play). so do i hold off until a patch and start over (no retro trophies), or just keep going on my current save file and trophies be damned? assuming i ever play it at all given my time restrictions and so many other games to play...

Not having trophies on this games is the only thing thats keeping me from buying!
Posted: Aug 7th 2009 7:22PM dblakenz said
Your kidding right?! I just don't get people that don't buy a game because there are no trophy's! I see trophy's as a cool addition to any game and don't get me wrong, I enjoy the challenges that the developers make when trying to collect them, but I would never buy a game based on weather or not it has trophy's. That's just dumbass.
So can someone explain to me what the heck makes them not buy a game because tit doesn't have trophy support?!?!

First, by saying that they are "not ignoring" the e-mails for trophies, is pretty much the same thing as saying that we are working a trophies. Now think about why this statement was made.
To me this next games show is going to be huge for Sony. PS3 Slim? MGS 4 Throphies? GT5 before xmas?.... Aug. 18 is going to be an interesting day.

If we weren't getting trophies, he wouldn't of said be patient.

If the trophies do come out for this then I pray to god that one of them isnt to get the Big Boss emblem or something ridiculous like that because there'd no chance I'd get the platinum
