PS4 Trophy System

[Demon_Skeith]

Trophies on the PlayStation 4 are coming back with a twist. Sony's new console won't just store your achievements—it'll tell you the rarity of each Trophy you earn.

The system will list each Trophy a player has earned and will classify them as common, rare, very rare, or ultra rare. Trophies are still also designated as bronze, silver, gold and platinum to denote the difficulty in obtaining them. Rarity, however, is a dynamic quality that will be calculated online across the PlayStation userbase. A Trophy might prove rare because it is tough to get, or it might be rare because few people have bothered to play the game it's in. Rarity can change over time.

As best we can tell, the rest of the PS4's Trophy system matches what is on the PS3 and Vita. Earning Trophies still fills a progress bar that gradually levels up the numerical rank of the person who earned them. Trophies still have to sync online. They can still be earned offline.

The PS4 Trophy interface lists Trophies that the player has earned on PS4, PS3 and Vita.

a neat addition.

That is sort of neat. Since then you'll be able to see how good you are at collecting the rarer or more difficult ones.  

Though will this rarity calculator also apply to older trophies too? So if you're viewing your trophy list on PS4 (like if you use the show all from online on PS3 where it shows every trophy you've earned regardless of if you got it on PS3 or Vita or even likely PS4 soon) but it shows trophies from PS3 will it show how rare they are too?

It's an alright feature. Would've preferred to get discounts for a higher Troy level.
