Hey folks –
I’ll keep this one short – the NOVASTRIKE update is finally out. Again, highlights of the update include trophies, tamed difficulty modes, customizable controls, XMB playlist support, and more.
You can also read about the NOVASTRIKE trophy requirements on PS3 Fanboy’s trophy page.
I’d definitely like to thank QA, developer support, and my account manager – they were very responsive in helping us get the update out this week. As always I’ll be reading and responding to comments here.
Sweet to hear the In-Game XMB patch is relatively easy. I am hoping this becomes more common. I will definatly be more likely to purchase a game from your firm as i now know you will support upcoming features and are willing to except feedback from your customers. Might i suggest actively getting this out on the web, as it is sure to drive some sales. I know alot of people really do not care about trophies, maybe they do not know about the “Playstation Rank” that these effect. I can see the Novastrike at the top of my games list on the PS3 for a while…. I lud da trophies…..
Hi again, MrCamo. I think most of the games you\’ll see adding trophy support and XMB playlist support are not surprisingly Sony games – most other publishers aren\’t going to bother with patching a game (as they probably have teams working on other projects now). Although it\’s nice to see Bionic Commando will be adding a trophy patch at some point – good on their part.
It was easier for me to add trophy support and XMB playlist support since Tiki Games is my own studio and we were already committed to addressing the initial feedback from customers. Glad you like the support, of course.
