Your guess in trophy, achievements for RE4

[Det. Beauregard]

I want some ridiculous achievements/trophies for this game. Personally I think achievements/trophies shouldn't exist for things you do to normally progress through the game (e.g. "Beat Chapter 1 on any difficulty") - they should be for harder, out-of-the-norm things, like beating the game without healing, using only the default (non-upgraded) handgun only, or finding every treasure (or item) in the game.

For CVX, there should be achievements/trophies for entering every room in one playthrough, and for collecting every item. Ugh... not looking forward to collecting that damn infinite launcher again; they need to make it easier to get!

[Branden_Lucero]

dunno. probably some of the most obvious things ever like kill one El Gigante by trapping him in the infernal burner. seriously, i might as well play the fuckin' game normally if i already do the normal shit to begin with. if they're going to include a reward system, make it so its not so obvious and more so unique.

and because this will be an XBLA game, there will only be a maximum of 12 achievements, unless they'll be assholes and release add-on content separately.

[Jill4EverSTARS]

Lol there will be unique ones I mean cmon the Egg On Your Face trophy had me laughing, it wasn't hard to get but it was unique

Not exactly.

Perfect Dark had 20 achievements. But it didn't pass the standard 200GS for an arcade game.

i think they should just break down and make instead of XBLA or PSN games they shoudl make them as full on game downlaods like halo reach and bioshock

Peeing Tom - Look up Ashley's skirt at least 50 times.
Pervert - Look up Ashley's skirt at least 100 times
WTFISWRONGWITHYOU!? - Look up Ashley's skirt at least 200 times.

Hey, it's creative isn't it? XD

POINTLESS... - Look up Ashley's Armor Suit. You don't lose anything for trying.

Back in my day we used to have to come up with ways to amuse ourselves in games.
RE knife-only runs...
RE2 HUNK without shooting guns...

In RE4 I liked playing 'Standard issue' mode - where Leon can only use weapons that he is issued with at the start of the game, and finds in game. So no merchant, or upgrades.
You pretty much get
Handgun.
Shotgun.
Broken butterfly.
1x Rocket Launcher.

There's also some 0% hit ratio RE4 runs, but I'm nowhere near skilled enough to try that.

And exactly those ideas are/can be used by developers to create interesting achievements/trophies, for example:

The One Free Bullet
One Gun

There'll probably be one for killing Saddler without using the Rocket Launcher.

^^ That's my favourite way of playing Resident Evil 4, I tried a no merchant run a few years ago and I found it actually improved the game considerably and offered a more Resident Evil style feel.

I agree as much as Selfish can reminisce about the "good ol' days" I think these kind of achievements are great. Especially when having these is proof you did it. I knew plenty of kids growing up who bullshitted about speedruns, unlocking hidden characters that didn't exist and such. Now we can weed 'em out . . .

I gotta start up Orange Box again some of those achievements are classic . . . Flushed! WTF HA!

Flushed

EDIT:
Better contribute to the topic eh?

Hmm . . .

Based on the typical pattern for Arcade achievements of 12/200 umm . . .

Overtime? (Complete RE4) 30G
Shot out of the Blue (Shoot all 12 Blue Medallions) 5G
Lone Wolf (Don't free the wolf and clear El Gigante fight) 10G
Trip and Blow (Lure a Ganado into a tripwire) 5G
Money to Burn (Fully Upgrade all firearms) 30G
Stab them when they're down (Knife 50 grounded enemies) 20G
Down with Capitalism! (Kill every Merchant) 10G
Ghost Town (Kill 50 Villagers) 5G
Monk-eying About (Kill 50 Monks) 5G
Flash of Genius (Kill 20 Las Plagas with a Flash Grenade) 20G
Ahh! You Pervert! (No explanation needed) 5G
Five Star Job! (5 star all Mercenaries Levels) 55G

I can think of more like:

Gotta HANDgun it to you (Kill Dr Salvador with a pistol) 10G
Bottled for Freshness (Collect all Bottlecaps) 10G
Rated R/M for Mature (Kill 50 miners) 5G
Die-namite (Kill a Ganado with his own dynamite) 5G
Medic! (Kill 50 soldiers) 5G


As a side-note I never realised how much I enjoyed puns . . . bad ones!

[Stu]

The Orange Box is the best example of achievements done right, no doubt.

Kill Leon, there I said it.
