Superstars V8 Next Challenge

Superstars V8 Next Challenge is a car racing game, based on the Superstars Series focused on Italy, and is a sequel to Superstars V8 Racing. The game includes both real-world teams, professional drivers, and real tracks - many of which are located in Italy, as well as online play.

Though receiving far less attention than its predecessor, the game received an average score of 68%, with overall agreement that Next Challenge is an improvement with its AI and loading time, among other criteria.

This game originally received a 2-star rating, due to the 3 online trophies. However, due to a squabble over funds, the server was pulled in late 2012. As a result, those 3 online trophies can no longer be collected, making the Platinum for Superstars V8 Next Challenge not obtainable.

The Platinum cannot be obtained due to the servers being pulled, making the 3 online trophies unobtainable. However, if you still wish to acquire the other 32 offline trophies, here are some tips:

First, you'll want to disable all penalties. This will make things far easier.

If you want to first get used to the controls and overall gameplay, we recommend working towards the We Don't Need No Education trophy by completing all the Superstars Licenses to an S evaluation.

Next, you can start on the four championships. Use a different team for each, to unlock videos, which will work towards the Collector trophy. You will also need to unlock prizes and race pictures - check out the objectives by going to "Extras" in the game menu, and see the guides under our Links tab for extra tips.

This was a Boosting Forum on PS3Trophies for finding a boosting partner. The forum is still available if you wish to complain about the servers being down, but unfortunately that's all it's good for now.

SBK 08 Superbike World Championship

SBK 08: Superbike World Championship, as you can probably guess by the title, is a racing game and the official title for the 2008 Superbike World Championship season. The game includes 22 official riders, as well as 12 official race tracks, and features both single player and online races.

The game received lukewarm reviews, with an average score of 66%, praised for its decent CG but criticized for dumbing down the realism.

SBK 08: Superbike World Championship includes 5 online trophies. Unfortunately, the online servers to the game were closed without warning in late 2012. As a result, the 5 online trophies - and therefore the Platinum trophy - have since become Not Obtainable.

NOTE: Given that the North American version was released several months after the European version, ONLY the North American title has trophy support!

Since the servers were closed in late 2012, the game's 5 online trophies - and therefore the Platinum trophy - are not Not Obtainable. However, the game still includes 21 offline trophies, so if you're still interested, then read on.

Since you may want to get used to the controls and handling first, we recommend beginning with the track records, working your way towards the Secret! Master of Records Cup trophy by adding cards to your collection.

Next, there's the challenges - some of which can be, well, challenging. Strive to get the platinum medal to gain a card for your collection, and check out the guides under our Links page for specific tips on each trophy.

By now, you should have a pretty good handle on the controls, and it's time to enter the meat of the game: the Championships. There's a trophy for winning each championship on any difficulty. We recommend enabling "jump start" in the realism settings and disabling "real rules," which should help you out a bit.

Unfortunately, with the online servers closed, this is as far as we can go.
