Here's my idea for VCS, PSP and PS2:

- Sets will share 50% achievements (progression, completition)
- Half of the set will be unique for both games
- PSP version will be more normal/official kind of challenges (like the ones from official sets).
- PS2 will be more on the side of difficult/RA kind of challenges (those that make you rage and ask for a nerf, but are not as difficult as Bonus material)

I'll try to take "inspiration" for other 3rd person modern game sets and see what I can come up with.

Expect PSP to be way earlier than PS2, but who knows...

I think it's good to do achievements based on 100% checklist.. Especially these from Remaining, side missions andd empire building sections.

Maybe reaching second island before unlocking mission: Link
Entering the stadium before concert: Link
Fly a big plane: Link

Having in garage some Special Vehicles and unique vehicles
Unlock and sit in unlockable vehicles or purchasable vehicles.

Achievements based on criminal rating:
-Cheater (one of negative criminal rating)
- Goon
- Ronin
- Hitman
- Made Man
- Right-Hand Man
- Capo
- Boss
- Godfather

You can also add achievements related to insane stunt bonuses with different vehicles, best lap times in races, finishing the game with Accuracy above a certain %, and many other related things since the game tracks lots of stats.


Also repeating a few achievements from LCS (psp) will be not bad - surviving 6 stars wanted level, getting certain media attention, etc.

Certainly will be challenging and fun to play

The PS2 version has exclusive content thats unique, and generally has more to it, unlike LCS, so thats something to take into consideration.

Good idea, I have found exclusive content on GTA wiki and exclusive easter egg.

One achievement I'd like to see is doing as much as humanly possible while still part of the army, maybe referencing still trying to make an honest living. Likely based on completion percentage while still not having done the final mission for the opening section that gets you discharged. I did this back on PSP and made a seperate save for it, had every balloon, jump, rampage and optional mission possible completed.

The PS2 exclusive content would skew the count though, so it needs to be taken into account.

Eu vou ter a Rom Traduzida em PT-BR se alguém quiser. É só entrar em contato comigo.

I don't mind challenges. But stuff that depends on RNG always pisses me off.

Just a suggestion for the final 100% completion trophy I think it should be named "The 80's"

I would love an achievement set for this game, one of my all time favourite PS2 titles.

If there is any help needed, or there is already someone trying to make a list of achievements for this? I would not mind helping out at all.

Got a rough ETA on when this will be finished lordpsycho?

Before the next claim date (of the PSP version) or before the end of the month at most

oh nice, my suggestion was taken into account!

is there a way to unlock fps ?
