Man, I thought Sony rescinded the whole "No Platinums" for games thing.
One of the weirdest policies they have still.

What they told me was they diddnt have enough people to port it on time, my initial speculation was that they had one ps4 dev kit and it was stuck with system shock remake coming out firstyears later after the xbox port, what took this so long?
The no plat thing isnt weird, it has that many achievements on xbox as well.

Honestly, so? You want a gold trophy for every single event you complete? These things have never, ever been consistent. The only thing that did become consistent this gen on ps4 is every other game having a plat when on ps3 it did not get a plat. Code veronica x for example has 2 lists, no plat on ps3 and a plat on ps4. Steamworld dig 1 has no plat, 2 has a plat. I'm a trophy whore and I'm a higher level than my friend who has nearly 30 more plats than me because of all my years playing PSN games with smaller lists. I'm really not sure why this matters, I'm just happy this is coming to PS4 finally 2 years after xbox, though seeds of evil is still missing when that dropped same day as 1 on the xbox.The difference is that regardless of how many achievements, you still get 1000G on Xbox.
With PS4, when there's no platinum you're getting less due to how the point values are per trophy
It kind of both is and isn't. Each trophy type has an assigned point value, and there's two point pools you need to fit in either of. The less trophies you have, the smaller your overall point pool can be. Only the larger point pool can have a platinum, so with smaller games no platinum trophy can be allocated because of the math.I thought it's currently pretty much up to the discretion of the developer. I know someone 'verified' over here commented on it, but can't remember who it was (@m0dus maybe?)
No. We have limited resources and Turok1 was built in a codebase that predated all our console code. Naturally there is no "just compile on game console" button in programming.The only thing that makes sense to me about what took so long is that it might have been timed exclusive to xbox and switch

Ok gotcha, srry if i seem hostile

Yes-ish. You have 4 options of point value (that being the bronze/silver/gold/platinum type).but isn't it still up to you how to distribute the points allocation?
To be honest, I never thought of trying that. Huh. But yeah, it would come down to aesthetics if you wanted a fair distribution of each type.I'm looking at a game like Gorogoa, which has a platinum trophy, but 11 golds, would that be Sony making an exception, or just pure up to the developer?

Already own it but I'm glad, the more releases it has the better, I'm still crossing my fingers for Turok 3 and Rage Wars remasters.

That's one of the reasons why I give up on multi-game collections like the Mega Man Legacy Collections.
If you wanna see some weird stuff, Skelattack's trophy list is only four of the achievements on Xbox.
I probably shouldn't, as I've noticed Sony don't actually talk this system much so I'm not sure if I'm breaking their NDA in this area by explaining these systems.Can you shed some more light on the math going behind the "pool" concept?

Though as a note, you could actually start to figure out the ball park of these numbers but looking at the various point values of each game. They are consistent.
Yes, it sucks. But I don't think it's Sony's fault. It should be the developer's choice.
Modus isn't related, and currently we aren't commenting on that yet. Essentially what happened is I accidentally published the Trophies early, so the marketing is still behind.
