JustContribute Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Burnout trophies are not going to be retroactive, according to Criterion Games. Here is a quote from the Criterion Games website. Burnout Paradise saves are locked to your profile. We had hoped to use this to retroactively award trophies, but we discovered during testing that this is not possible. You will therefore require a fresh game-save to receive trophies in Burnout Paradise. If you're familiar with PS3 trophies already, you'll recognise that this works in the same way as all other games that have added trophy support post-release.

olsen77 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Here's a possible solution: backup your game save file. Delete it to start a new game. Once you have all the trophies, delete the new one and copy the old back. But ask yourself, is it worth it to completely start over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustContribute Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 But ask yourself, is it worth it to completely start over? It'll be my first time starting, so I'm not affected by this announcement, but I am truly sorry for all of you that have put in so much time to this game.

olsen77 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Yeah, I don't know if it's worth it to me to completely start over. I think I'm going to just get what I can in my current save and leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pesico Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Backing up my save as we speak. Gonna get them all anyway, but this is crap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olsen77 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I'm speculating here, but now we know why that trophy list is so easy. They knew we were going to be screwed, so they made the trophies easier to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dw1986 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Forgive my stupidity, but when you say "back up save file", do you mean onto a USB stick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HenryHSH Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Hey now, the guys at Criterion are just trying to add replay value to their game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) The best part is that Criterion knew this, but decided not to tell us. They didn't just find this out last night - this was known a while back, yet they kept up the illusion of "these things will be retro-active". Perhaps things like these will put reality in perspective and show us that if all we do is roll over and lay with our stomachs exposed towards a business, that you run the risk of getting tea-bagged at all times. Neverland just closed its doors for the weekend, and we'll be forced to live without fairy tales until the next empty promise comes flying through our bedroom window.

Kryomancer Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Wow.... just wow. So much for my elite car and bike licence. Any one know when NA is getting the patch? Should I even care at this point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think they would have said something on their shitty video podcast or something? If when they were testing they announced this I would have held off.

yungfresh21 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Lol and I was really lookin forward to seeing 50 trophies register at the same time guess we'll neva know how it feels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryHSH Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I was wondering how they'd manage giving more than one trophy at the same time. I guess it doesn't really work. Anyway, people with 100-101% don't really lose anything. Best thing to do is backup your save and start a new game. Once you get all the trophies, restore the old save. I'm disappointed that I have to replay this game for the third time, but it's no big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intvgene Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 This is so stupid. I can't believe that Criterion did this. They had to have known that the trophies wouldn't be retroactive prior to today. When will these companies learn that if you have bad news to tell people, tell them as soon as possible, instead of waiting and making it much worse in the end. If I had known that the trophies weren't going to be retroactive even a couple of weeks ago, I wouldn't have wasted so much time. Criterion sucks.

Tzeeke Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 This is a shame, I was planning on playing a ton of Wipeout this weekend... looks like I'm gonna have to split my time replaying Burnout. This probably isn't half as bad as it seems for all the replayers though as we will get through the game much faster the second (or third!) time through what with being used to the car mechanics and also knowing the map like the back of our hands. Plus you don't even have to aim for the elite licence, that's the play time almost halved right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesSoprano Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Well me and my friend made the smart decisions .. wait till the trophy patch comes out get it and then work on it .... cause if not we would have been playing it since August sometime. feel bad for those with 100% and or just worked on it alot recently ...all i have too say is this, if you love the game or find it alot of fun then playing it again would be ok .. but then again ... i bet some of it is quite hard. yea and i also agree tho i was not effected by it. Criterion should have said we here got bad news .. if you guys are playing for the trophy's now it's best to stop and wait for the patch to come out cause they will not be retroactive. see that's all you have too say ... then that way you give people the heads up on it and it would have saved people time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
