While it seems likely that you'll be able to transfer trophies to PS4....

... would you continue being a "trophy-hunter" on PS4, if you couldn't transfer your trophies and the past 7 years meant nothing for next-gen? This is obviously directed at those who do actually hunt for trophies. I don't, but I'm curious as to other responses.

I don't go out of my way for achievements or trophies but if I did it probably wouldn't change anything, scores of past consoles could still be saved and posted online.

its a yes and a no.

but it would be pretty pointless for us to not be able to carry over trophies....

For some reason I care about trophies even less than I cared about achievements. I count myself lucky.

You may be thinking of achievements, which will transfer over to XB1. Still no official word on trophies as far as I know, but most presume you will be able to.

They will transfer over, but it's not a big deal. I like them to be honest and i want to keep them

I would like to say something regarding PlayStation trophies. I am not sure about transferring PS3 trophies to PS4. PlayStation Network accounts are cross-platform and to me a distinguishable difference between PS3 and PS4 trophies is better than combining the numbers together.

Sure.  I love open world RPG's and going for the platinum is a great little checklist to make sure I've done everything in the game.  Without trophies I'd wander around, do whatever sidequests I happened to stumble across, and miss half the game.

We already know they will carry over (PS+ subscriptions are tied to account, so if they carry over so does the account). Sony have already demonstrated cross-platform trophy accumulation between the Vita and PS4. But as a thought experiment? Alright, I'll bite. It wouldn't bother me if trophies completely vanished altogether to be honest with you. Not a trophy hunter. Not played a game yet that set any interesting challenges.

I couldn't give two hoots about trophies so I don't really care what Sony did. I've never understood soe people's obsession with them, it's like they only play games for them.

This is the attitude that mystifies me. You don't need trophies to explore a game. What did you do before them? "I'm just going to blast through this game as I'm not getting a worthless, virtual badge for doing the sidequests."

"A great little checklist".  What's so mystifying about that?

Trophies are for competitive goal oriented ppl. I can't lie I know it's for nothing in the long run and I am not getting paid for it but I'm overly competitive in most things and love to see things get accomplished whether it's at the gym, academics, a video game and etc. I also got a question for monosilver, who in the world is that beautiful model on your sig? That's a bad chic!

Why do you need a check-list though? What about most PC games and all the games before the days of trophies and achievements?

Competitive for you, maybe, but for some of us they're more of a records-keeping device, or game diary of sorts. They don't motivate me to do things in games I'd otherwise not bother with most of the time, but they're still fun to have around.

I have little doubt they'll carry over, especially since they implemented and carried over trophies on the Vita. I would be disappointed, but it wouldn't kill me to have 2 separate collections I guess.
