Burnout Paradise PS3 Trophy Pack now available, not retroactive photo

As promised, trophy support for the PlayStation 3 version of Burnout Paradise is here. Simply pop in your Burnout Paradise disc while connected to the Internet to get the update at no charge.

Criterion has a full list of the game's trophies on their Web site, and it's an impressive list to behold. Trophies are broken down in awards given for tasks complete in the original game, the Cagney update, and the most recently added bikes.

Unfortunately, the trophies will not be retroactive. According to Criterion, they had originally intended to retroactively support trophies, but discovered during testing that it wasn't possible. So if you've been playing the game since launch, prepare to start with a fresh save in order to unlock some of these bad boys.

Is there anyone out there who's ready to start Burnout Paradise from scratch to earn some imaginary awards?

Well thats around 60 HOURS work gone down the shitter.
Fair enough Crierion couldn't get the retroactive trophies to work, but they could have had the decency to telol us before they released the patch.
Still a trophy patch is better than no patch.

If you consider the time you play video games to be "work", well then I really don't know why you even bother playing. I'm planning on buying this game when I go preorder LBP.

I kinda enjoy the late addition of Trophies.

Made me revisit Warhawk and now I'm hooked after getting better and honing my skills to unlock the trophies.

Also played through Uncharted 3x times and still impressed over how beautiful and cinematic that game is in contrast to other titles released after it.

I don't trade/sell any of my old games that I've passed and I think belated trophies are a good excuse to revisit quality games you enjoyed first time around.

Doesn't Criterion's website track your stats? Pretty sure they could have found a way to make em Retroactive. Or atleast told us before bikes.

I'm pretty sure they said they would not be retroactive from the begining. At least thats why i stopped playing. It is kinda to little to late though. At least burnout is fun. could be worse. We could have to play though Harry potter or some POS again lol.

Yeah, I'm pissed with this announcement, all the way through they said they'll be retroactive, but near the end they went back on that.

I 100%'d that bitch too...fuck. At least the trophies aren't all that hard to obtain, I reckon I could get them fairly quickly.
