online trophies.

i had read a lot of threads, but never read anything reguarding this.
will the online portions of a game have retroactive trophies?
like warhawk is getting, because that is an online game tied to your user name. and every online game is also tied to your id. so it would make sense to get trophies retroactivly.
has anything been said about this?

You make a good point actually, Yeah they probably will be because say there was one on CoD ( I know their not doing it , its just an e.g ) " Go to prestige 1 " and you'r already on prestige 3 then your kinda stuck there. So yes I think they will be.

All games with leaderboards could, but I don't think many will, it'd be a lot more difficult to implement and unless all the trophies in one particular game could be applied in this way it would be a bit unfair.

Warhawk and burnout will!
From the official warhawk trophy thread (http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=warhawk&thread.id=636957):


First off, there are 56 trophies included in the Warhawk v1.5 Patch. These are broken down into a couple of categories:


There are 10 trophies based on the Warhawk's current stats/rank/awards system. Like getting all your Bronze badges, attaining a specific rank, or earning a number of medals.
There are 34 trophies that are entirely *new* rewards based on Warhawks core game and not based on our current stats, ranks or other awards.
There are then 4 trophies per booster pack that are, of course, completely new awards.
Developing 56 new trophies was a really fun part of the v1.5 production cycle...but 10 of them are based on stats and awards that you, our community may have already earned -- so that's why we made sure that those 10 trophies based on our core stats system would be paid out retroactively. Meaning, that once the v1.5 patch is released, and if you've already earned the requirements for those trophies *bling*bling*bling* Warhawk will pay them out to you!

that's goood news then. hopefully more games will follow suit and pay out online trophies.
