Hitman is back! This is the first Hitman game on the PS3 to feature trophies. The game sees you take on the role of Agent 47, an assassin who was created and trained to kill. He's gone rogue from the agency in order to protect a girl named Victoria. Agent 47 must betray the agency to save her from growing into an assassin like himself, but on his journey he will encounter others who are interested in the girl.
The platinum is a fairly easy one, it's not one of those games where you have to 100% everything. There is only 47 trophies, 20 of those are obtained through the story and the rest should come from general gameplay. The 1 collectible trophy that requires you to obtain all the evidence across the game. There are 46 in total, but only 45 count towards the trophy. If you follow a guide you'll have no trouble. The other thing are challenges. These are additional tasks for you to complete in a mission, such as "Chameleon - Change into x disguises in the level". There's 278 in total and you only have to complete 100, so you should have no difficulty in getting those.
There are two glitched trophies in the game, but it's random if they will glitch on you. The two trophies are Absolution and Information is Power. Many have reported that they completed the game all the way through on Hard but didn't unlock the absolution trophy at the end of the game. The same goes for Information is Power, people have picked up all the evidence on normal/hard and the trophy hasn't unlocked. There is no known way as of yet to prevent the glitches or how to fix them. Your best bet though if one of the trophies glitches on you is to delete the patch and go and try and earn the trophy again (don't re-download the patch, just play offline). I personally had no trophy glitches.
Step 1: Complete the story on Hard, collect all the evidence.
The first thing you want to do is start the story and select 'Hard' on the professional section of difficulties. Hard difficulty just adds more enemies, you take more damage, instinct runs out quicker and enemies see through disguises easier. It's really not that hard; be thankful there isn't a trophy for completing the game on purist. While doing this you also want to collect evidence which comes in dossier form and video tape form. Most missions only have a couple that are hidden, you could find them yourself if you explored long enough but your best is to just follow this guide. There's 45 of them in total, so not much compared to other games. You can simply run to the location of the evidence, pick it up then die. The evidence will save forever as soon as you pick it up. Doing this will also bring you 19 challenges closer toward the 100 challenge trophy. The final part of this step is to obtain all the misc trophies, which you'll more than likely get just by playing anyway as they are only for losing attention of enemies etc.
Step 2: Contracts Mode
All the Contract mode trophies are now unobtainable due to server closure.
Note: This part does not need an online pass, the developers decided last minute not to make a pass needed. There is one in your copy of the game but it's free on the PS Store.
Contracts mode is where you create contracts then save them for others to try and complete. You simply mark any target(s), kill them in a desired way then exit. Somebody then has to replicate what you just did by themselves for maximum money payout. All the trophies here can be done in 1 sitting in an hour, tops. You just have to complete both tutorials, play a friends contract, like a contract, create a contest, play in a contest, earn $1,000,000 in contracts mode and finally buy an upgrade. You can't keep repeating the same contract over and over though for the million dollars trophy. They have to be different.
Step 3: Clean Up
You should have all of the trophies by now, but in case your missing something you should go back and earn whatever it is your missing. If your missing a piece of evidence, just replay the mission until you get it then quit. Same goes for challenges. You might not have 100 challenges completed yet, if that's the case just go for the easy ones. You should now have your Platinum trophy - congratulations!
