I've added all the trophy images for Fallout 3 (including those for DLC) and all of the original trophies for Uncharted 2 (not including DLC).

I've just been adding those for Dead Space, but - as you probably know - the hidden trophies are missing. There are 8 hidden trophies for the game, and only one is represented on the site. You can see the descriptions for all 8 hidden trophies in this image:

If you'd like to add them when you get the chance, I'll add the images.

I'll try and do a few more games tomorrow.

Thanks a lot! Since yesterday, more than 1,700 trophy images were uploaded! That's just awesome.

Right now there is no way to distinguish the hidden trophies, so I cannot add images to them. This is way this feature is locked for hidden trophies.

Ooh, that's a shame. :-(

I realise it's not easy to do, but are there plans to account for hidden trophies before the other trophy cards/buttons go live?

I ask because a trophy card system with missing trophies will be a little pointless, especially for games like Heavy Rain where almost all of the trophies are hidden; even moreso when you consider that other trophy card systems do account for those hidden trophies.

Don't take that the wrong way. It's not a complaint as such, I just really like where the site is heading, and it would be a shame if the cards weren't at least as good as the other similar services available.

The problem is not, that I do not want to do it. It's just not possible with the information I can get from SONY's public profile pages.

SONY does not offer an API for this information, so I have to crawl their PSN website. And it does not show detailed information on the hidden trophies.

The only thing I could do is to ask users to assign the correct trophy themselves, once they got one. But this cannot be proven and therefore can easily be cheated on. So, that's not the way to go.

SONY gave an API to a few sites and this is how they can access that data.

But PS3Heroes-Trophycards will have features that other sites do not offer, so I hope they still will be useful.

I realise it's not that you don't want to do it, I just wondered if you'd come up with any ingenious plans to work around it! Still, hopefully E3 will bring news of a public API and a more open trophy system.

Well, I can dream...

The only current solution would be to have all users enter their PSN logins. Then I could get the detailed information plus information about friends, when you are online and what games you are currently playing. And even all the games that are yet not on the public profile pages, like Prototype and ModNation Racers.

But only a few people would want to give me their PSN logins (and that is absolutely understandable, I would not give away my PSN logins).

In addition I would have to make huge changes to crawl the public and the private pages and match all the information, so that gamers who do not want to give me their login, still would be able to get the functionality they have right now.
