Trophy support won’t be added retroactively to upcoming Spider-Man game Web of Shadows, publisher Activision has confirmed.

Speaking to VideoGamer.com during a recent presentation of the game, associate producer Brian Morrison said that the publisher has “no plans” to introduce PS3 Trophies after the game’s release, unlike some publishers who have added Trophy support retroactively to their games.

Morrison also confirmed that there won’t be any downloadable content or a demo made available for the game.

He said: “There are no Trophies in the PS3 because during our development cycle the SDK for the Trophies came in late from Sony and we didn’t want to chuck them in at the last minute without a lot of thought going into them. So the team was more confident just focusing on the Achievement side for the 360 which we planned for all along.”

He added: “I think going forward Trophies will be a big part of the future of a lot of games Activision is delivering on now that we’re in development further.”

Morrison moved to reassure PS3 owners that their version of the game will look “identical” to the 360 version, despite admitting that development was led on Microsoft’s console and that other versions are ports with different paper sizes.

He said: “They both look incredible. They both look great.”

Explaining the lack of a demo, Morrison said: “During the development cycle we’ve just been pushing towards adding more content and the team wanted to focus on getting to the finishing line and making the best possible game we can. It just became intrusive during the development cycle so we didn’t want to risk anything.”
