PGR 4 Achievements Announced

Today, the achievements for Project Gotham Racing 4 have been revealed. They look pretty interesting to say the least. If you head over to Bizzare’s Website  you can read the article on how/why the chose the achievements they did.

 We wanted a set of achievements that appealed to the four broad gamertypes on Xbox Live (you may have seen this before.)

  • Achievers - Players that play games to completion, at the hardest difficulty they can. Give them a target, they’ll beat it. Give them 120 cars to collect, they’ll collect them!
  • Killers - Players that play games to beat people online. Trueskill is their king!
  • Explorers - Players that play a game until they’ve seen everything in the game. They love finding ’secret’ things and don’t really care about finishing the game on hard
  • Socialisers - Players that love the social elements of online gaming, and just having fun playing casually.

Traditionally 360 achievements have tended to cater for the Achiever and Killer gamertypes. In PGR4 we’re still catering for these sorts of people, but also giving out achievements that suit Explorers and Socialisers. So you’ll see ’secret’ achievements that need so detective work to find out, achievements for sharing photos online or getting all players in a lobby to do a jump at the same time, along with the usual ‘Get a platinum medal’ type achievements. So hopefully there will be something for everyone, and a few more players will get to that 1000 gamerpoints goal than the tiny fraction that did in PGR3!
