The Platinum Trophy requires just as much skill as it has always done. Only 24/64 events were re-tuned and the majority of them are from the early and mid-sections of the game.

A couple of the other Festival related Trophies will be a bit easier to get now than they were before - but that's simply because they were too hard to achieve before the update. If you'd already completed them anyway, then seriously well done! :-)

Phenom can you give any information on which events & which trophies have been made easier?
My opinion is that a platinum trophy is supposed to signify achievement. When you make it easy & accessible for everyone it completely loses its value and becomes pointless. But that is just me.

Check the MSRC facebook page mate, there's a complete list of everything that's changed there. As I said, no supercar events have changed, so they're just as difficult to do.

Relax, your worlds first platinum is under no threat of losing it's value

Really? All 4 of the main drift events... I struggled with them at first, but I practiced and now I'm #2 on nearly all of them. I'm sorry but it is quite ridiculous IMO.
RC was the first game of this type that I ever played & I got gold on every event within 15 hours. Surely 4 months later people can do them...

[Phenom_Evolution]

Yes, most people have struggled with the 4 main Drift events far more than you did. You're very much in the top few percent (as is obvious by the fact that you made it to #2 worldwide)!

The changes make the flow of the game much more naturally inclined and the feedback we've received after the update (and the stats we've seen) really show that it's making a positive difference.

[Motors_Mayhem]

The changes don't really affect me but with this newsflash I'm quite tempted for some more RC. First, I'll just need to sort it out with the PS3 I saved it on which I don't normally use. Think I sorta played RC to death for some of the high ranking times and hit a bit of a dead end with most of my records so took a break out. For example, 3-4 hours non-stop perfectionism on multi-storey mayhem (after already doing something similar earlier) to gain a 1st in world for about 3 days, til... well look at the leaderboards. Probably need to take my lunacy in moderation now

[TRAXXAS58]

Exactly Motors. Without online multiplayer the game has a distinct lack of playability. I haven't really played it much since a month or 2 after release because you get to a stage where you have to work very hard for very little gain & it just isn't worth it anymore.
