Sony recently announced the PSP Remaster series, in which some PSP titles will be revisited in HD for the Playstation 3. Unfortunately, Trophy support won’t be included in the PSP Remasters line.

Sony Japan has recently confirmed in a Q&A that unlike the previous PS2 remakes that were ported to PS3, the PSP remakes will not have trophy support, despite their HD support and numerous other additional features. This is in contrast to the PS2 titles, E.g. God of War 1 and 2, which had received Trophies donated in their PS3  version.

Sony has been very committed to protecting their Trophy system from hacking attempts. This is one of the reasons why trophies were never available on PSP, a console that has gone through numerous hacking since its release. Sony has speculated that saving transferable data between the “PSP Remaster” and PSP versions of the game may provide the opportunity for players to exploit the PSP hackable version to get access to Trophies while playing on the PlayStation 3.

However the PS3 and PSP interconnectivity is still an attractive option, so many gamers are expected to buy this product even if it does not give access to trophies.
