X360A & PS3T to Design GRID 2 Achievement & Trophy List In World First

GRID 2

Written Friday, November 23, 2012 By Dan Webb

Since we set up these here sites, we've had ourselves a bucket list... Publish a guide book. Check. Become more than just a niche site. Check. By far the biggest personal goal of mine was to design an Achievement and Trophy list... I don't just mean, 'make one up and draw it on some napkins,' I mean, design a list for an actual game that will be actually used. It is with great excitment then that I announce that we're designing the Achievement and Trophy list for Codemasters' upcoming and hugely anticipated racer, GRID 2. Not only that, but we're going to document the process from start to finish to give you an inside look into the process. This never-been-done before adventure starts here, folks!

I'll shut up now, here's the press release...

Sheffield, November 23rd, 2012 – In an unprecedented move in the world of video games, Codemasters will be enlisting the help and utilising the years of experience of Xbox 360 Achievements (X360A) and PS3 Trophies (PS3T) to create the Achievement and Trophy list for the upcoming and highly anticipated racer, GRID 2.

Xbox 360 Achievements and PS3 Trophies will work hand-in-hand with the designers at Codemasters’ world class racing studio, to create an Achievement and Trophy list that will perfectly compliment the game and play to its strengths.

Documenting the process from start to finish, gamers will be able to track what goes into creating an Achievement and Trophy list with a series of features, vid blogs and more, giving gamers a detailed insight into a process that is very much a mystery for most onlookers.

“If anyone knows the achievement and trophy crowd, it’s us,” said Editor-in-Chief of Xbox360Achievements.org and PS3Trophies.org, Dan Webb, “For years we’ve been criticising lacklustre Achievement & Trophy lists, and now, we finally get the chance to put our money where our mouth is. Codemasters have put their faith in us to work with them on creating the ultimate list, and we’re looking forward to repaying that trust to design Achievements and Trophies with unique objectives that will put a smile on players’ faces with each and every unlock.”

“Xbox 360 Achievements and PS3 Trophies are the recognised ‘go to’ sites for anyone interested in getting the most from their game’s Achievements and Trophies,” said Clive Moody, Executive Producer, Codemasters Racing Studio. “Their extensive knowledge coupled with our studio talent will make for a uniquely crafted list with insight from the experts, offering gamers real challenge and reasons to chase every possible reward. It’s a new approach, but we think it will be a lot of fun and a great way to give player’s an insight into this increasingly important element of game design.”

GRID 2 is scheduled for a summer 2013 release. Keep an eye on Xbox360Achievements.org and PS3Trophies.org for all the coverage as they embark on this never-been-done-before adventure.

	Wow this is awesome! It'll probably be the best achievement list out there seeing as you guys know exactly what you want out of a list. On the other hand making the whole list completely impossible might be a funny way to troll everyone :P

	As cool as this is, when the game releases and you do the review,I think that you'll be bias towards the achievements because you made them.

	@11 obviously but then they won't make crappy list as that would defeat the object. I would like some fun ones like an achievement for breaking 200 mph - in the pitlane!

	@13 - any thoughts to asking for opinions from us the comminuty. Because i would love to make some suggestions for example if there online ones make them fair and not stupid and id say put only 200G aside for online.

	This is gonna go one of two ways. Either epic fail (highly unlikely) or totally epic! Please make this list an interesting one, and not just a generic racer achievement list. Example: Handbrake turn and smash every opponent in a single race, and win! 25g. That's something I'd probably do anyway, but getting an achievement for it would be fun. Its great news, and I couldn't be happier that you guys here will get to do something I've always wanted to do. Remember, make these achievements interesting!

We've got a lot of cool features planned in the run up till launch and we'll be reading all the comments on every piece (like we do now, but more intently =P), so if we see a really cool suggestion that sticks with us, then we'll obviously look into it =)

	maybe you guys should bring thie site up to date first.fix some of the little things like getting our gt scanned properly, giving us some more options within the site better friends lists and a gaming scheduler. get some better moderators for the forums.

	Nice one guys! It's about time achievements were made by professionals. Hopefully this will be the first of many collaborations :D Just one thing though, if you have to include MP cheevos, make em short and sweet like Halo 4 or AC3. Let's not have any soul-draining timesinks, nothing that requires 7 complicit friends, nothing that promotes boosting, nothing that requires as much luck as the lottery, just enough for achievement hunters to dabble with the multiplayer and get a feel for it.

	I'm predicting a 100 score for achievements in your review.

	Make sure to test the buggery out of it before you decide anything, only cheevies that can be got with the basic version. None of that you must buy the CE to get 100% crap. Definately a cheevie connected to completion. At least one for 90%+ and one for 100%

	Very smart move on Codemasters part. Pretty much an automatic buy by most of the active x360a and ps3t communties. I know I will be getting it now since the list was designed by x360a/ps3t.

	Will you please make some reference to the movie The Wraith, when creating the list? I mean afterall it's without question the greatest car movie ever made. Lol, that movie is a gold mine for one liners.

	OMFG, nicely done, it's great to see a company actually caring about it's achievement list so much i mean every time a new game is released (or it's achievement / trophy list anyways) its usually followed by many comments of "generic list" or "uninventive"....now this should be the chance for a truly interesting list, and you guys have the possibility of drawing up some possible lists, then getting community feedback on it until the "perfect list" is found obviously, it would be impossible to make a perfect list, but something that the majority apreciate, which for most of us is no sodding online achievements....but, online achievements can be good if they are easily attainable, and fun...rather than win x ammount of races online etc that we usually get anyways, that reminds me, i still need to pick up a copy of the original when i've finally got some money looking forward to see what you finally agree on, and would it be the first time that achievements were known before they appear on xbox.com

	I think you should let your loyal fans come up with a cheevo. Make a comp out of it or something. Either way think you'll nail the list. Love the Grid and love this site. Cannot wait to see the end product.

	No multiplayer achievements that need boosting is all I ask. Multiplayer achievements are fine, but don't have stupid ones like win 5 races in a row.

We know you won't be objective, it's like game dev advertising their own game LOL). And to really keep customers happy, you should probably throw in 5 achievement worth 200GS each.

	Should be a good list, lots of fun ones, a couple of generic ones, nothing too easy, hopefully not many grinders. You gotta put in GOTTA DRIVE 'EM ALL 2.0 and have it read "Its not glitched this time round." And have it be worth 60gs to make up for the first game.

	it'll be interesting to see what the achievement community can come up with, just no online please. The Man In The White Suit - be undefeated in 50 races in solo or multiplayer. Captain sense of direction - cash 10 times in one race and continue to win. Its not all doom and gloom - Wreck your car Trolololo - Spin 3 opponents cars in one race. Velocity - Reach the max speed in the fastest car.

But like you said, putting the money where your moth is so don't fuck it up :) Someone else suggested it but I also like the idea of some contest here to let a member contribute an achievement. If you have 50 to work with (that's still the max retail at launch right?) you can give one to someone here. @80: I like that idea, especially if they pull a Bulletwitch (very hard achievement for only 1 GS).

	Agreed, a pretty difficult achievement for 1gs. To anyone saying to have an achievement for switching on the game, yeah maybe, but that should definately be worth 1gs. I remember Chime did it (50gs) and said something like "its for charity", cos some of the proceeds were. I like the Driving Miss Daisy one that was suggested.

	You have finally gotten the chance to show the developers, how it should be done. The list shouldn't be a piece of cake neither insanely hard and most importantly creative. This is the ULTIMATE CHANCE, please don't demand for insane skills like Shift 2 master every corner in day and night kind of crap or Grindfest achievements like Forza's Bucket list. Make them creative, there is so much room for creative things in here e.g classic fueds between cars or joke achievements, or as one friend mentioned do a quick turn and hit 5 opponents offline or crash your car 100 times or amass 100$ Million in crases e.t.c there are so many more things you can do but I won't bore you people, you are more smarter then me and have tons of more expertise too in the matter :) But please no Buy every car achievement or from every manufacturer achievement as there is never enough cash and it becomes a grindfest ALWAYS. Do make make MP achievements but make them simple and fun and do not include reach highest rank online or play online for 24 hours, it becomes a grindfest too. You should make Reach level 20 or 15 online (if 50 levels) so if anyone's interested till then so he'll play more otherwise he'll grind. And Best of luck guys please do tell them fans don't hate Avatar Rewards :P

	Nice one Webb! Tough genre for a first list though, not much room for creativity in the racing world. Add another one for an Every Point Counts achievement that's 1G and the hardest in the game. Other suggestions: Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm - Crash 5 times in a race and still make it to the finish line. (dO YoU GeT TeH ReFeRuNtss?) You Just Don't Get it, Do You? - I have a feeling the game will have a song on the soundtrack about Not giving up/Not giving in/Never quitting/Never surrendering, etc. This'll pop when you quit or restart during a race where this song is playing. If this is anything like Midnight Club LA people willing be restarting alot. Possible secret achievement. If people need to look it up they can get it within 5 minutes. All Day, Every Day - Achievement for racing and completing a MASSIVE LiveRoutes race, i.e. 247 (24/7) miles or 365 miles. Who's know if the game will allow something this big? Fully aware Everyday is one word, but Every Day looks better next to All Day :p

	I kind of thought that this would happen one day, just honestly thought that we'd get 1 achievement in a game as a dedication or something, not an entire list! Make sure to involve the community with voting, and stuff like that. And just because you don't enjoy MP achievements, don't scrap them completely.

	I think you should do 50 achievements, 49 zero point achievements and one super easy 1000 point achievement. This way you can make a really good list and make the easiest 1000. @99- You can get the original 1000 in ME3 with just the regular edition. The achievement rules clearly state that a game must have 1000 points attainable with just the regular disc (or free DLC). A game can use paid DLC to go over 1000, which the extra 50 was from From Ashes. Bioware just decided to include it in with the CE.

	I honestly love refrence achievements. Either a tip of the hat to a famous quote or event would be awesome. Movie quotes are almost infinate and parodies are abundant. Please be mindful of the casual gamer, but don't make all of the achievements too easy. I usually think 400 for story, 200 funny/easy, 200 online, and 200 for challenges. Make sure you add some fun easy achievements. Like a achievement called "practice makes perfect" for the first time you lose or "Sorry dad" for the first time you total your car. I may buy this game now just to support you guys.

	1000G - start the game! I hope not, as I'll buy GRID 2 and would like a bit more depth. No online achievements I hope. Flawless Race - Don't make any contact in a Race. In a field of your own - win by large margin Nurse it home - Finish in points with Engine in Red Damage Bad boys, Bad Boys - Get a penalty/DQ or something. It costs how much? - Spend over a million dollars on a car. That'll hurt the resale value - Write off your car. Dizzy - Spin the car through 360 or spin someone else. Flatspot! - Lock up for longer than 15m in one go. Slipstream to glory - Take the lead by drafting New Paintjob - Trade paint with another car

	You should include 2 achievements for all those people complaining about their score beeing odd (not ending on 5 or 0). Because 5 is even, ya know ... Something like "I like them even" - 2GS - Finish races on every even position. (2nd, 4th, and so on) "Odd world" - 3GS - Finish races on every odd position. (1st, 3rd, ...) So getting both will "fix" their score. :-) Some other wild suggestions: "360" - "Spin another car." "Rubber" - "No reason!" (unlocks when you get crashed and one of your tires rolls away. reference to the movie "Rubber" ;-) ) "Fast and Furious" - "Crash every other car and finish 1st" And I would too love to see a 1 point achievement called "Every Point Counts". :-)

	This is pretty damn cool, just had to say that. I have no doubt we'll be getting a cool list out of it. Congrats to x360a, and kudos to Codemasters for having the knowledge and confidence to do something like this. I honestly wasn't thinking about getting Grid 2 (I played the first and loved it but just not a huge racing guy) but it looks like this will lock it up. I'll have to think about some ideas to see if I can come up with one creative to maybe make the list or have some influence, would pretty much complete my life (from a gaming perspective ;) )
