Ithink they are online still but there is a risk they put it down pretty soon. It would be a very good thing to complete it ASAP. Add me if you like to co-op, if co-op is needed. As soon as I'm done with 3 games Modern Warefare 3, Black Ops 3 and Lego Pirates of the Caribean (almost done) I can startout this plat + DLCs possiblly.
I'm hoping that like NFS Most Wanted 2012 (for both PS3 & Vita), NFS: The Run and Burnout Paradise before that, the servers are still populated with legitmate players in 2019. I've boosted trophies for the 3 games I just mentioned but a lot of the trophies for these games didn't require bosting and if so, I'll do the same for this game. I have the Ultimate DLC bundle I purchased for 8.98 AUD from a previous PS Store sale and am thinking about starting this tomorrow (or the next day). A notice for anyone who is considering starting the game soon wished to send me a FR to boost any trophies in the future...
Online trophies for this game are easy, as they just require to play some games (no "win X games online" trophies), but the servers are utterly empty. I'm up for some boosting sessions whenever I can
Empty servers for a long time usually results in server closure sooner or later to my experience. It might take some time but we will get there eventually. So I'm about to complete it here and now. Or pretty soon. Just like many of those other games I own for PS3. In worst case scenario they will be dropping PSN support completely for PS3 after they released PS5 in 1-2 years or so.
I logged in fine, it automatically put in my email. Even the loyalty rewards are working but I can't buy an online pass. If the servers are working maybe I can still get the online trophies with the 2-day trial If I am fast enough?
2024 is here, and the servers are up and running on PS3, although I could almost never find a match online, when I did find one player, and I played three matches and was pretty competitive. I suggest finding a player online to knock out the trophies. If you want to start the PS3 version, you have to own the online pass, which you need to make use of a Hong Kong PSN account to do so. Once you grab it off of the in game store and purchase DLC if you want the 100%, you should be good to go.
I did that with @SubieCali44. Only takes a few hours. My code in the (sealed) box was expires, so I had no other option. Just make sure you activate the trial when you are sure both players are available.
For the main game, i can confirm that online mode is still working and you can still get the platinum trophy. However it is hard to unlock the "Socialite - Have 5 or more NFS Friends" trophy due to an autolog bug. Accounts you add to your friendslist often won't appear online in the game. You could try changing the privacy settings for each psn account and remove / add each account again. To make sure that the account you added actually counted as part of your friends list, see the "join friends" list when you go to "hot pursuit online" and check how many entries you already have. You need all 5 slots placed with friend accounts.
It's only available in the HK store and incomplete. That's why it's not possible to unlock all DLC trophies
The full digital game version has been already delisted from the HK store, only chance to get the dlc's working is the physical disc version (BLAS-50263)
Today I was able to unlock the "Socialite - Have 5 or more NFS Friends" trophy, but it took me many attempts until autolog finally displayed an account online after I added it to my friends list. You need to have 5 friends in the "join friends" list when you go to "hot pursuit online", otherwise the trophy will not unlock.
I don't know why autolog doesn't show an active friend online even though they have been added to the friends list. I kept on changing the privacy settings for each psn account and removed / added each account again, went offline / online with each console, restarted the consoles, It took me hours ?
Can also confirm that you can download the online pass by using the us disc version of the game when logged into an asia account. The content will be available for all accounts on your PS3 then. Unfortunately I have to play through the game again because the eu and us version won't share the same savegame ?
Important Note: For just the platinum trophy and not the 100%, look under each location and you'll see a gold medal icon next to a number for example 2/2. If you have completed this requirement, the game will kind of grey it out that's why some locations look greyed out. Completing this minimum requirement will pop the platinum. For the 100%, you'll need to complete all of the events with gold medals/gold distinctions.
I am a little confused by this. All of my locations seem to list all races as required for gold instead of what the above statement seems to imply, that there may be 7 races for a location but only 2 or 3 might be required for the trophy for example. Am I missing something?
As you progress through the game, more events will become unlocked as you unlock new tiers of events. The N/N values on the map will only count the number of events in each list that you currently have access to. So, a place with seven events but you only have three available to you and you've earned no golds yet will show 0/3 on the map. Earning a gold on all three will gray out the icon for that location on the map and list 3/3. Once new event(s) become available at that location, the count will change (ex: 3/4 or 3/5).
I'm nearing the end of the base game content myself and haven't found the DLC events, so I'm thinking all events that show on the map at the start of the game (albeit unlocked) are part of the base game and you need a Gold/Distinction in each.
Coming back to this again b/c last night I earned the Swift Justice trophy while simply completing all available Cop events. The only four trophies I didn't earn for the PS3 version were the four Silvers tied to earning Gold or Distinction on the DLC events, so I'm wondering now if Golddigger and its Cop equivalent now require (for the Remaster) that the player earn Gold/Distinction on even the DLC events as well.
The wording of that guide is still confusing. It seems to suggest that at any point thought the career as long as you have n/n races done then the trophy would pop as opposed to waiting untill all races are available and then getting gold on all of them.
I haven't played the remastered version of Hot Pursuit, but I just recently went and replayed through the PS3 version and got the plat. If I remember right, you'll always be unlocking new races while playing through, whether you're getting gold on each one as soon as their available or not, so you'd never actually reach a point where "all races" were completed until you've actually unlocked every single race, even is most say "3/3" for the time being.
Thanks all for the clarification. Beating a dead horse here, but it seems pointless for the guide to mention that since you have to play and get gold on all races anyway. I was hoping that wasn't the case since I'm struggling big time with getting gold on a lot races ?
thanks for the list. having the dlc to plat is pure shit. theres 2 or 3 races on the ps3 version i still cant get gold on till this day. i dont know why the f they merged those ridiculous races into the main game instead of leaving them where they were before.
i keep playing "foot to the floor" its a 10 minute match and i cant catch up to 1-3 place. even if i ace the level hitting nothing the are always at least 10 to 30+ seconds in front of me. some of these 10 minute matches are like that. im going top speed driving perfect and a slower model car somewhow just manages to pass me up even though ive seen them crash they somehow respawn and drive past me. im really starting to get pissed at this game. im surprised this game has such a higher plat percentage. i remember on ps3 some of these extremely difficult matches the only reason i won was because the ai crashed towards the finish line giving me just enough time to pass them and win.
I just got the platinum. The main difficulty comes from the cop events and some of the racer events. It can range from doable events to difficult ones and ones that are plain shite and garbage on difficulty either from rubberband on the AI, me being stupid at curtain times, some demanding times (the rapid responses have penalties that make it harder then it should be) or just civilian vehicles being in the way at cheap moments. Other than that, it's a great game.
