Since the game won't be out until February at the earliest maybe they should go back and just delete the stupid thing before going gold...from NextGen (http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=8314&Itemid=53)
The team behind the Xbox 360 version of Turok is looking to develop a patch to remove a team-killing achievement that was met with hostility following its revelation.
Dino shooter Turok is set to feature an achievement, known as Grab Bag, which rewards gamers with ten achievement points for killing at least one creature, one enemy, one team-mate and themselves in the same round of a public match.
However, Josh Holmes, VP of Propaganda Games, told CVG that unhappy gamers who dubbed the team-killing achievement 'the worst ever' had forced the team behind the game into considering a change of heart, but not before explaining how the achievement came about in the first place.
"What we found was that players playing their first match in Turok - almost every player - was (accidentally) killing himself, a team mate and an enemy with a grenade or a Stick Bomb gun and so we thought 'hey, we should give them an achievement for that', as kind of a joke,” he said.
“We've read some of the concerns that were described online, and maybe we underestimated the length to which so-called 'achievement whores' will go to [in order to] get their achievements."
"We are currently looking at readying a patch or solution for it if it does become an issue when the game releases," he added.
