How to unlock the News to Me achievement in Full Throttle Remastered - Definitive Guide

When you are at the Kickstand for the second time, trying to find a ride out of town you are forced to watch a part of a news broadcast. When you get the controls back, simply look at the TV a few more times to watch the entire broadcast. It's gonna be three or four more short parts...

EDIT
Because explaining the basic controls of the game obviously has to be part of an achievement solution now: you have to press up twice on the skull to look at things...

Couldn't get this to work at all. What am I missing? OK, you have to press up twice on the skull to look at things. You should probably mention that.

To be fair, that's mentioned right at the start of the game when it automatically shows you the controls. Also, you were able to make it that far without finding out how to look at things?

I didn't see that at the start and I don't recall it being shown on the controls. If it was I wouldn't have asked the question. I had to Google search. Also, this was the first time I had to look at anything. Could probably finish the entire game without ever using that function, if you don't go for achievements.

Could be right actually, I can't remember anything you specifically have to look at to finish the game. Was just a little surprised that you felt it needed to be added to the guide, it definitely is mentioned either at the beginning when you're shown the control pad or in the "how to play" section of the menu.

@SwearySean Thank you. That’s very useful information. I wouldn’t have got the achievement without you mentioning it.

Same here. Pressing up twice on the skull to the eyes is how I got the achievement eventually (on the TV monitor, about 4x)

Thanks Swearysean. I don't recall anywhere it showing you how to look at things. And up until this point in the game you can get the whole way here without looking at things.
Should absolutely be added to the guide.

Jeez, it’s kind of unbelievable to me that you could play this game without it realizing you could look at things. Like how did you even get that far. Just unfathomable. Sounds like a bunch of negative nellies.

It's literally one of two things you have to look at in the entire game, and that's just for achievement purposes! Your comment is pointless and negative.

I don't mean to be needlessly negative, but from beginning to end of the game, I was looking at everything to get hints/descriptions of things. To me that's how I've always played point-and-click games. I look at things to hear the character speak, and to see if that can give me any clues about what to do next.

Thinking about it more, the way you have to click up twice to get to the eyes, I could see that being missed by many people. And since the actual solving of puzzles is done using mouth/hand/leg actions, it makes sense someone wouldn't know what it means to "look" at an object in this game. You only have to click once to get to mouth or hand or leg prompts. While to "look' you have to click twice.

I think of course, the solution should ADD that tip. I am just surprised that people wouldn't know about the look function.

Most people use a WT and it mentions LOOK the first time when this achievement is done. You don't look at things before that if you use a guide.

Boo. I downvoted this solution first time round. The edit confirms my stance. Would have been better to just say thanks and change the solution.

Had no clue how to look in this game since it is not explained. Comments real MVP and OP gets a downvote for being an ass.

no need for the attitude from the OP. i also didnt know there was even a look action, and its more that the game does a horrible job at explaining it, especially considering the fact that up once defaults to the "putting your lips on that" action.

People are WAY to sensitive. I detected no "attitude" here, just ignorance at not being able to play a game. How people do no know how to "look" or perform any actions on a game such as this is beyond me. Ignorance is not an excuse.

Excellent post.

Thumbs up because you explained how to look lol. I had no idea. Not getting in a pissing contest with anyone, but I am following the walkthrough and got to this point in the game without ever knowing how to "look." This was news to me. The other 2 guides don't tell you either, but this one does at least (now lol)

36 dislikes because people are ignorant and shitty. Wild. Gotta be babysat through every single thing in every video game. Yes it's a site for optimizing achievement hunting, not for playing the game for you. +1 from me.

Wait... I was playing the game the whole time with MY eyes closed. Should I have been doing it with my eyes open?! roll

When we should be helping each other with achievements and such... why does the one person who knew about EVERY game function, have to be a dick about someone sharing a help tip? Being shown the controls on the controller, and having a tutorial when you need to do something for the first time are two different things. I wouldn't gotten this achievement, without the first comment!!

So with a gamepad, you have to use cn_LSu or cn_up twice so that the icon change from lick to watch.

This is a missable achievement.

After fixing your bike and returning to the Kickstand, simply keep selecting the 'Look At' option on the TV. After, I believe, three times you will receive this achievement.

This trophy can be missed if you blow past the major parts of the story instead of taking the time to enjoy the scenery.

Returning to the bar, you'll see the headlines being displayed from the TV. Watch the screen a total of four times by going up from the MOUTH icon to the EYES icon to hear bits and pieces of the same report, filling you in with the newsworthy bits of a crime you didn't know you committed.

After returning to the bar, use your eyes to watch the news on the tv. You will need to do this multiple times until the newscast ends.

See ​​​​Burger Well Done (60G) for a full game walkthrough with timestamps.

(missable)

After Malcolm's death, you will go back to Maureen's garage. Examine the debris, ride your bike and take the north road, and you'll reach the bar where the game started. When you enter the bar, press on the television and use the eyes to watch the news broadcast. Do this 4 times to watch the full broadcast and unlock the trophy.
