Under certain conditions, knocking out 100% of achievements can be significantly complicated.
The developers have announced a remake of Halo Combat Evolved, which will also be released on PlayStation.
Sony consoles have a system of "trophies" (achievements), and a special "platinum" award is given for knocking out all of them. There is a whole category of players called "trophy hunters" — these people focus on knocking out achievements when playing games.
Such connoisseurs recently discussed the announcement of the PlayStation version of Halo Combat Evolved — some are already starting to panic.
This is due to LASO (Legendary All Skulls On) — previously, a very difficult achievement was presented for the shooter, requiring playing on "legendary" difficulty with "skulls" enabled (gameplay modifiers that further complicate the passage).
There are fears that the LASO achievement will return in Halo Combat Evolved for PlayStation, which could significantly complicate obtaining "platinum".
However, players have hope. One of the participants in the discussion noted that LASO was not in the original version of the game, this achievement appeared as part of the Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
jerem1734 and others drew attention to the trend of simplifying the process of obtaining 100% achievements in new major releases:
There has recently been a shift in trying to make the trophy lists of major franchises "easier" to attract attention, as platinum hunting has become more popular since 2020. For example, Naughty Dog turned the trophy list in the Last of Us remake into a joke compared to the original game. The trophy list may be slightly simplified, although this is not guaranteed.
