Sony's flagship console once again has a chicken and egg problem. With PS3 2.4x firmware and the patched Super Stardust HD giving folks the chance to fall prey to the addiction of racking up trophies for their buddies to see and compare, we want more games to earn trophies in. The holy grail is, of course, to get credit for games we've played already instead of having to replay everything again.

Incog, the developer of Warhawk, has gone on record saying that the online multiplayer PS3 exclusive will get ten retroactive, rank-related trophies along with over 30 non-retroactive ones when the 1.5 patch arrives. There's no date for this patch and since its predecessor, the 1.4 patch, doesn't have a delivery date yet either. Dylan Jobe of Incog says they'll be coming along "very, very, very" soon, though. You can bet that they'll want to capitalize on increased interest in trophy-supporting games. I know I will.

So far that makes two games to give some retroactive trophies, Burnout Paradise being the first. Any game with account information primarily stored in a server-side profile is a possible "retrophy" candidate, and let's see which developer jumps to the fore first.
