PS5 Version of Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered Missing Platinum Trophy
Hey there, fellow gamers! I’ve got some news that might make you raise an eyebrow. When Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered launches later this month, it’s going to be missing a fan favorite feature on the PS5. And let me tell you, it’s a big one. Brace yourselves: the PS5 versions of these remastered classics are all missing their respective platinum trophy. I know, I know, it’s a bummer.
According to my sources at Insider Gaming, who got their hands on the three PS5 trophy lists ahead of the trilogy’s release, things are looking pretty stacked in terms of trophies. But here’s the kicker: there’s no platinum in sight. However, here’s where things get even more bizarre. The PS4 version of the Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered collection features all three platinum trophies. Talk about a head-scratcher!
Now, before you get all riled up, this isn’t the first time a PS5 game has launched without a platinum trophy. It’s not uncommon for smaller games and indie titles to skip out on PlayStation’s top virtual gong. But what’s really surprising is when platinums vanish from AAA releases. Take, for example, last year’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III. It didn’t have a platinum trophy either. This change in Sony’s trophy policy is to blame. You see, games that share the same client or launcher with another title are now unable to feature a platinum trophy. So, even though Modern Warfare III and Modern Warfare II are different games, they share the same client, and that’s why MW3 missed out on the platinum. We saw a similar situation with the PS5 version of Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, which lost its platinum when it became part of the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection.
I can feel the disappointment building up in PlayStation’s nation of trophy hunters. I mean, what’s better than earning 100 tomb-raiding trophies and seeing that platinum pop immediately after? It’s like reaching the final boss in a game, only to find out you can’t deliver the finishing blow. Frustrating, right?
But fear not, my fellow gamers. If you’re itching to replay Lara Croft’s three original adventures, the lack of a platinum trophy shouldn’t dampen your excitement too much. Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered is set to release on February 14th, 2024, and it’ll be available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. This collection is a treat for fans, with the first three games in the Tomb Raider saga, secret levels, expansions, and even a snazzy photo mode. It’s like finding a hidden treasure chest in a game, filled with all sorts of goodies.
So, there you have it, folks. While the absence of a platinum trophy may be a letdown, let’s not forget the real reason we play games – for the thrill of the adventure, the satisfaction of overcoming challenges, and the joy of immersing ourselves in incredible worlds. Let’s keep that spirit alive and enjoy the remastered Tomb Raider experience to the fullest.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to raid some tombs. Happy gaming, everyone!
