No PS5, PS4 Trophies for Time Crisis as Bandai Namco Continues Its Classics Losing Streak
Time Crisis, the classic arcade shooter, is now available on PS5 and PS4 through the PlayStation Store or as part of a PS Plus Premium subscription. However, Bandai Namco has continued its practice of releasing its PS1 and PS2 classics without Trophy support, a feature that many players expect and value in modern versions of retro games.
The omission stands out as particularly frustrating given that Bandai Namco has demonstrated strong commitment to reviving its back catalogue across PlayStation platforms. The publisher’s classics initiative has successfully brought numerous beloved titles to modern consoles, yet the consistent lack of Trophy support across these releases represents a significant missed opportunity.
Time Crisis joins a growing list of Bandai Namco classics released without digital achievements, including Tekken 2, Tekken 3, Tekken: Dark Resurrection, and SoulCalibur 3. This pattern suggests the company is deliberately deprioritizing Trophy implementation across its classic game releases, despite the feature being relatively standard for similar retro rereleases from other publishers.
While the availability of these cherished arcade titles on modern hardware is welcome news for nostalgic fans, the consistent omission of Trophy support highlights how Bandai Namco’s otherwise commendable efforts in game preservation are undermined by this recurring limitation.
