SRB2 With Achievements - What Do You Think?

[FlashbackGuy]

With the release of the first standalone on RetroAchievements (Final Fantasy XI), that opens the door for more possibilities, which leads me to ask this:

What do you guys think of SRB2 possibly supporting RA in the near-future? RA already has a lot of sets for ROM hacks, like Super Mario World, Super Mario 64, and especially Sonic.

Also, RA already has tons of Sonic fans and Sonic sets.

Of course, this is a hypothetical, since it’s ultimately up to both Sonic Team Jr. and the people running the RA show on if they want to do it or not.

Attached to this post is a .txt file of 3 possible sets the game could get. One core set and two subsets.

So now I ask again: what do you guys think of this idea?

Personally I don't see any need for SRB2 to have an achievements system. There's already enough to accomplish already via the unlockables, and getting all the emblems is already enough bragging rights.

The perks with a possible set are all the subsets that could come with it. Additionally, many sets on RA differ from each other. A Mario game’s set devved by one person won’t be similar to another Mario game’s set because each set developer has their own way of making a set.

Also, custom challenges are fun. There’s none on the concept .txt because I’m bad at coming up with that stuff, though.

Oh, yeah, here’s an updated list, now including a subset for Ultimate Mode.

You don't need an achievement system to do custom challenges. You can just do them anyway.

Well yeah, but achievements give you a reason to do those custom challenges.

SRB2 doesn't need achievements. Besides, I don't think it would make any sense if it supported RetroAchievements.

I don’t get it, what do you mean by “it wouldn’t make sense”?

 

[slob boy]

It would be weird if SRB2 was on RA because it can be played on modern systems and doesn't require an emulator to play.

Final Fantasy XI is a standalone. It doesn’t need an emulator to play. Like I mentioned at the very start of the thread.

That's what you meant? Ok sorry, I didn't know what that meant at first.

 

[Glitchyisverycool]

i personally think it would be a cool idea

 

[SRB2SuperSonic]

I quite like this idea. But the list of achievements is tough to come up with, I'll admit.

 

[RunninPigeon]

pretty sure RA is not doing PC achievements, but i'd love for some multiplayer achievements too.

 

[Matrio]

Honestly, it could be cool, plus achievements could have little icons to represent the achievement you did, also Sonic 3 A.I.R has achievements already and it’s pretty cool. Maybe there should be achievements such as completing a save file, getting all emeralds, and getting all emblems

deveria Should have achievements like "exploring every corner of deep sea (sonic/Amy route)"

 

[cheeseboi.]

i thought of achievements in srb2 as soon as they were introduced in ring racers

personally i don’t see why not,

i think i’ll make a mod of it

Ring Racers doesn't have achievements either? It has unlockables, which SRB2 already has...

Unlockables are just achievements with a tangible reward, anyways. I don't see any reason for SRB2 to have achievements when it already has emblems and unlockable content

 

[Water_Scout]

Uhhh... I'm pretty sure unlockable levels, emblems, and characters are the closest we can get to achievements in SRB2, I don't really care about it though, I think finding collectables is more fun than achievements as long as it's not too hard to get it.
