Is Bloodstained RotN planning to have a Platinum trophy?

Yes, the no date, but wasn't it announced (PS5)? I have PS2 and Vita but never received anything on Vita. Achievements for me is to finish a game. Since it had such a fancy name I thought it had something more to it than mini-goals. Ofc I can Google it when I am home to understand the difference between Platinum, trophy and achievements.

I mean, if I finish some games and earn points, shouldn't that be worth something? Or is it just points that doesn't do anything? On any system for that matter?

I hope PS5 can handle discs. I have backed PS4, since Vita was discontinued.

Achievements are digital collectible "badges of honor" that some people care about and others not. I tend to be somewhere in between on them - I think they're neat and amusing sometimes, and it's cool to see the thought and ideas developers put into their achievements sometimes, but I almost never go out of my way to get them.

You and other players can go compare your trophies to someone else, and it can be a motivation factor when there are "hidden trophies/achievements", giving you the idea that the game has something you haven't seen yet that the dev may want you to. Getting them increases your overall gamer "score" and "level", which absolutely does nothing but again, some gamers care about the bragging rights and in their mind this plays into obviously the "completion" of the game. It's certainly a lot of work and something to be said for getting a Platinum in a game like Bloodborne etc, whereas the only one I remember getting is the extremely easy one for the original Telltale Walking Dead game. I wasn't even trying to get that, I just did the other story path it had and since that's all you can do in the game...and yeah lol.

I'll be giving it a shot myself. I want to see every little touch that went into the game

Lol, I hope nobody noticed the obvious typo in my previous reply...

Speaking of which, maybe one of the Trophies will be purposely done in Engrish?/Broken English?

Im getting Bloodstained on Switch, PS4 and on GoG, So at least the consoles, once I have them. I can collect some achievements, see if that is something for me, as a playstyle.

"Giving you the idea that the game has something you haven't seen yet that the dev may want you to." < Very intresting, and by a riddle of sorts without guide or aid from the web. Right?

Achievements is rather new to me, sure it happens on Steam but I pay no attention. Thanks for clearifications guys. Just confused when it comes to new terms. An achievement is an achievement, I didn't know Platinum was just the same (or .. whatever it really means).

Trophies and Achievements are exactly the same with the exception that Trophies are what Sony calls them. They come in the bronze, silver, and gold variety depending on how difficult it’s to unlock it and they generally have one additional Achievement (Trophy) that’s not present on Xbox/Steam which is the famous Platinum trophy which you get after unlocking every other Trophy from the game. And I say “generally” because some “smaller” games don’t come with a Platinum, ergo me creating this thread asking/suggesting that ArtPlay makes sure Bloodstained RotN does come with one because Curse of the Moon sure as hell didn’t have one.

Take into account only the Switch platform doesn’t have some sort of system wide achievement system unlike the PS4, PS3, Vita, XB1, X360, Steam, etc. So if you want these extra challenges and incentives to get the most out of Bloodstained you might want to stick to your PC or PS4 release instead of Switch.



PS: we know absolutely nothing about the PS5 (aka, it hasn’t been announced). There are only rumors and speculations pointing at it releasing in 2020 but it’s all conjecture. And I’d be shocked if the PS5 didn’t come with a disc drive, I wouldn’t worry about it.

PS-2: By the way if you own any of these three Sony systems you can view your entire Trophy Collection regardless of platform meaning that if you check your list on your PS4 you’d be able to see what trophies you’ve gotten on games for the PS4, PS3 or Vita so I’d expect the same with the PS5 trophy system once it comes out.

Although, going by recent news, the Switch might get access to XBOX Achievements when XBOX Live comes to the system.  If I understand correctly, the Switch version of Minecraft already lets you connect the game to your XBOX Live account and earn Achievements, so I assume other multiplatform games might work a little bit like that.

The GDC meeting where they plan to elaborate on all this isn't for another few months, so I'm curious to see what becomes of this.

The session title and description were literally on the Game Developers Conference website before they were removed.  That's quite a bit more substantial than a rumor.

But you're right; we don't know the details yet, which is why I said "might," not "will."
