The GRID 2 Cheevo Video Diaries – Episode 3: The Usual Process
Written Friday, January 25, 2013 By Lee Bradley
View author's profile

Have we mentioned that we’re creating the achievement and trophy lists for GRID 2, in an unprecedented collaboration with Codemasters? Because we totally are.

In this, the latest episode of our GRID 2 Cheevo Video Diaries, we talk to Codies about their process of creating a game’s achievements: How do they do it? What role does each team member play? And how is the final list settled upon? 

Find out all that and more below, as our quest to make the perfect cheevo list continues. It’ll be a doddle, right? Right?

Oh, and you can check out the previous episodes in the series here:

Man, these need to be the bestest achievements in the history of everything ever with the amount of hype they're getting!

"1 person usually makes the bulk of the list" Seriously? No wonder some lists lack creativity if they come from just one guys idea of what HE believes to be the ideal list, madness.

Shame they forgot to get the testers in to "make sure everything unlocks" last time round.
Apart from that Grid was a great game

I like how the "no cockpit view = no buy" people disappeared once it was announced that x360a was doing the achievement list.

I feel x360a will do a great job with the achievement list. Look at all the hate they read on a day to day basis about cheevo lists that suck, they know what gamers like and don't like (generally speaking of course). I got faith in you guys :D

Acheievement ideas:

Learner Driver
Complete a Hill start, Parallel park, 3 Point turn & Emergency Stop in a race.

Backseat diver
Complete a whole time trail lap in reverse

Take the wife out
Park outside a shop for 5 minutes

Road Rage
Beep your horn 360 times (Id actually hate this LOL)

Its actually pretty hard thinking of achievements, especially for racers. A lot have very similar lists (Go from last to first, no collisions, Cockpit view only, Manual gears only, bla bla bla)
I agree with the final comments though, To make a "Perfect list" I do feel you will have had to have played the game to death to know exactly what you can add. Good luck.
By the way, I like this insight, Ive wondered for a long time how they actually create the achievements, how simple they are to incorprate (especially since they are now on so many different platforms). More please! :)

I love the look of their studios. Looks like a quaint suburban neighbourhood.

On the last episode I said I'd post my alternative list on the comments for Episode 3. Shit. I haven't even hit the 25 mark, but you've forced my hand. Plus how will Dan 'borrow' them if I don't post them now? Exactly. YOLO.

If you're offended by the pictures of semi-nakedness, dead animals, AIDS victims, Multiplayer achievements, pixelated handgestures, the face of Lee Bradley or what's possibly the burning coffin of a Dakar Rally participant then...probably don't click that.
I blatantly stole #10 from the last comments thread. Soz.

Why so much hype over achievements for a pretty terrible series?

While you're talking to Codemasters, could you ask them about making the achievements obtainable in DiRT 2 again, please?

@1 & 13 - You mistake hype for attention to detail. No-one has ever done this before, so we're documenting the whole process, from beginning to end. That was kind of the whole point.

@16 fair point webb. i'm not criticizing (or at least that's not my intention), guess i just don't find the achievement creation process all that interesting, would rather read an indepth preview of the game itself. still, it's gotten me interested in the game, never played the first. is there gonna be a demo? surely you know that with your insider knowledge! ;)

@17 - just because YOU don't find the process interesting it's blindingly obvious that on this site there will be a fair few people who ARE very interested in it, don't you think? People's sense of personal entitlement is just ridiculous.

Personally, I think it's a great idea to document the process like this.

@19 I'm entitled to my opinion dude, just as much as you are. You think it's interesting, I'm not so interested. I'm not saying anything negative, just that I don't find it engaging. That's my personal opinion right there. You stated your personal opinion, I stated mine. Simples :)

I just want a list that is not impossible to complete. Achievements should be a joy to earn and not a grind.
