Achievements

[Maratanos]

Okay, since it's going to be on XBLA, I feel like I should mention that there was in some sectors of the internet a sense that CSI4 didn't do achievements very well. So I'm curious what, if anything, you intend to change in that regard.

[liebe911]

Nope nothing special ya...

[StinkomanFan]

Yes please i'll take some achievements. *or Bleep-bloops*

[Jake]

You'll have to achieve achievements this time, if that's what you mean :)

[patters]

couldn't you do achievements on both as games for windows live is free now

Speaking of 360-exclusive material, can we expect a W&G dashboard theme?

EDIT: Hm, that's not a bad idea either, patters, there are very few PC games that support achievements (Viva Piñata, Halo 2, Fallout 3, Gears of War and not many more I think).

http://www.gamesforwindows.com/en-US/Live/Pages/catalog.aspx is a list. i don't know if games for windows is available on DLC though

pleeeeeeeeease don't use GfWL
Steam supports achievements and they work better.

[patters]

i doubt the pc version will have achievements at all. was just pointing out it would be possible

Please don't use Games For Windows Live. Really just don't use any of those services unless it's completely optional. I don't want to pull out my Wallace and Gromit's Grand Adventures DVD 10 years from now only to realize that I won't be able to actually play it because Microsoft took the GFWL servers down. :(

They aren't releasing it on Steam, though. At least, the releases we are talking about are on the Telltale site and Xbox Live.

How do they "work better"? Especially for someone who, for example, would otherwise never use the clunky regulatory beast that is the Steam client?

...I don't think that's how Games for Windows Live works....

i doubt that would happen, that would mean xbox live would no longer exist which probably won't happen, it will be advanced but not gone

Let me guess. They're both 1000G(whatever G stands for) each?

Many games have awards without needing to connect to some online community. If you want to compare ewangs just post screenshots :)

[Gman5852]

Just out of curiosity, how many achievements will we be expecting per episode?

Same as every XBLA game :)

12 achievements totaling 200 points.

Oh I didn't know all Xbla games had exactly 12 achivements.

EDIT: but now that I checked my XBLA games i realize they all have 12 achievements
