Hey there folks, and welcome back to another exciting episode of Trophy Talk! This week Josh and Colin and joined by none other than Skrilus, hot off of his recent acquisition of the Devil May Cry platinum, to discuss all things trophies, statistics, and PlayStation. We start off the show talking about the recent news surrounding WB Games and the closure of three of their primary studios including Monolith. What does this mean for the future of the IP under the WB banner and do we think the closures were justified? From there we move in to Platinum shout outs pulled from our Discord community before jumping into a whole slew of questions.

How do we feel about our current backlog for 2025? Is there one particular game that we already have the platinum in that we want to go back for the DLC and 100%? What are our thoughts on Shuhei Yoshida's departure from PlayStation and Sony? All of these questions fill up a good chunk of time and discussion. Additionally, the crew takes a stab at (with no research) compiling the list of the top 6 most difficult games to Platinum. As you can imagine, there are some familiar names there but some of the nominees might surprise you!

Lastly we get into what we've been playing across the month of February. Skrilus goes into more detail on his journey to conquer Devil May Cry, and just what bosses and strategies ended up making the difference for him. Josh earns a staggering 13 Platinum trophies across the month but focuses primarily on Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii and Pacific Drive, and Colin finally completes Star Wars: Outlaws before jumping into another boomer shooter classic in TimeSplitters.

Thank you as always for listening to the episode, we hope that you enjoy!
