My problem is not so much with Resident Evil Code: Veronica's achievements, but Resident Evil 4's. I mean, why are they so lazy? The game is really big and has so much achievement potential. Why are there only 12 achievements when you can have a maximum of 50 achievements. Was putting it on Games on Demand just an excuse to have 1000G? What's the point of having 1000G if you don't have to work for it?

[RED-DRAGON-CRO]

Yeah the archivements for RE4 are quite easy for an Vet.Tought they are gona add something tied to the random stuff like collecting all 15 medalions,seeing Ada early,killing Krauser with a knife(yeah that would be quite a challange but rather not put it maybe to hard),saving the dog,...
But yeah i m fine with em.

[thezombiemessia]

Why does it matter?

The achievments would hardly add anything new to the games anyway, given that nothing new was being added to the games in the first place...they were only ever going to be bog standard achievements/trophies for doing what everybody else has already done...

Trophies/Achievments are a bonus, but aren't neccessary for full enjoyment of any game. Wanna do something not listed as an achievment? Then do it...

[RED-DRAGON-CRO]

Well yeah simply bonuses, anyway i m fine with these,i m more excited about the game then the archivements.Right said TZM:D

[merzitar]

I am not saying that achievements are everything, but it is always nice to recieve some recognition for something challanging you have done. For example, it would have been nice to have an achievement for fully upgrading all weapons or something. Of course, I will still buy the game(s) - all I'm saying is that they kinda seem a bit of an achievement booster.

[Dante2014]

I dunno, the one regarding shooting the lake and the one for shooting the bell would've been very cryptic, if all the secrets in game hadn't been exposed over the time.

Really surprised that Mercs has no achievements tied to it, getting all the stars for the Handcannon took a lot of effort.

But meh, I'll be buying them since I want the games on current gen so badly, achievements are a nice bonus, but have no real sway.

[RED-DRAGON-CRO]

It would be funny if they put a "Naughty Leon" archivement for looking Ashley under the skirt,funny little secret:D

[Spike 74]

I am more interested in RE CV than 4 but I will be buying both.

But I am suprised as well about no mercs cheevo's/trophies

[thezombiemessia]

I'm happier that there's no achievements/trophies in the mercs mode...I never did like the mercs modes that much. I played them for completion's sake over anything else.

[RED-DRAGON-CRO]

Yeah your quite right about that TZM,for me the Mercs in RE4 was quite a pain in the well you guys know what.Yeah it took me a lot of time getting the Handcannon on it eventought people say that beating the Mercs is easier that Professional mode which in my case was the oposite for some reason.And now i will go trough that hell again,but yeah i notice with years i get better and maybe get it easier this time.(Example: at GoW2 i couldn´t beat the Challange of the Titans whatever i tryed and 5 years later beat it in less than an hour LOL but it was worth it getting it beat and gaining the God of War aromur its awesome)

[Kirais]

I think that these HD edition got easy achievements/trophies for encourage 1000 and plats collectors ;)

[J_Matt_]

well they could have added secret trophies or trophies that made people search around.
these trophy/achievements look like they are just quick put in they could have added ones like "a piece of craftsmanship" blend certain pieces of treasure to make a work of art...

something that made you think of what to do what to combine dont forget most people yes have played re4 before but dont forget there are people out there who havent played it

[00MK]

Why would you care about the achievements anyway? Sure sometimes they allow yout o focus on one aspect of a game but all in all it's just a way for people to see how many trophies/achievements you have.
I'm just happy that both these two games will be in HD :)

[J_Matt_]

trophies and achievements im not bothered about but its what you do to get them that interests me it kinda unlocks the full potential of the games use because half of the achievements/trophies you dont unlock are for doing something like find all medallions in the game it makes u play more of the game itself than just running throught it beating the game and thats it.

[EliteFreq]

Was putting it on Games on Demand just an excuse to have 1000G?
The reason for this is that it gets a full retail release in Japan, and as to not deprive us of any content, it's being released as a Games on Demand title, instead of an Arcade title.

Besides, Resi's one of the best series for doing multiple playthroughs with player set restrictions. I can't think of any other games that people play in so many different ways without being told to. The achievements don't restrict you to only playing in one way.

Agreed, long before the rise of achievements there were people doing knife-runs, single-weapon runs, etc, etc.

Even beyond the rewards for getting a certain grade at the end of the game, people find their own ways to play the games.

Achievements telling people to play the game in a certain way would likely do more damage than anything else...

I understand what you're saying. I, myself, used to do many Handgun runs on Resident Evil Rebirth. All I am saying is that it wouldn't hurt to have more than 12 achievements! Ones for say, I don't know, purchasing every upgrade from the Merchant or something.

[chimpy298]

well they have to stick to the 12 achievement's rule as it is arcade and I agree they could of done a lot more with the achievement's

but ill enjoy the game soo i dont mind

[onza110]

Okay yeah i admit, There not the best Trophy's ever, But we should be happy we even get them!

No, they're not Xbox Live Arcade titles - they're Games on Demand titles, which means that they're retail titles, made available for download. In Japan, these games are on a disc, and are a retail title, with 1000G. They're allowed a maximum of 50 Achievements worth 1000G.
