Oh my GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!:excited:

 

I loved the driver games! I played them to bit's! Now a proper returen and set in SA! And real cars(From what i seen, Alfas, Astons, a Bently, DeLorean, Dodoges, Fords, RUF's).

 

I'd herd they had been making one for sometime, lets hope it's worth the wait! I'm thinking of Having a Dark Green Mustang and a Black Charger!:cool:

 

I just hope i can do the Driving test again...Always had to get my brother do do that on the original!

 

Thanks for posting this!

Yep, this game I think will be epic, honestly it's up there with TDU2 because...

 

 

Wait for it...

 

 

Multiplayer. :D:D

 

 

 

As someone who has every single Driver game and has played it from the very beginning since 2000, I just hope this will live up to PL as I have absolutely loved every game up to this.

[calster17]

They mentioned multiplayer for this! :eek2:

 

Epic!:cool:

 

Maybe a 'Chase' mode for online, where you and a friend have a set time to catch or outrun eachother! And after it's recored and can be uploaded to youtube? Just a though!

 

I have all the Drivers appert from Parralell Lines(but borrowed it) and I still play the first one today!(Bought it off the PSstore, and is now on my PSP! I have the original on PS1, but my bor has it!)

[Guest turbo lag]

A "Chase" mode would be so awesome, and if you could upload to YT, I doubt I'd need another Driver game any time soon. Apparently only some 200 miles of road or so, but by the looks of it, it's pretty damn detailed. Not that it matters really, as this game looks to be just right. I love the fact that you can simply change cars basically whenever you like, and the handling looks very neat for Driver too.

 

Also having 120~ cars, epic.

 

So far I can gather a small list:

 

Aston Martin V12 Vantage

1970 Dodge Challenger

Alfa 159

Alfa MiTo

1967 Shelby Mustang GT500

Dodge Neon

Bentley Continental

Mercedes SLR McLaren

Alfa 8C

RUF RT12

Alfa Spyder (Not sure of model)

DMC DeLorean

Dodge Monaco Cop Car?

RUF CTR

Fiat 500

Audi S5?

McLaren MP4-12C

Dodge Charger Cop Car

18 Wheeler?

I'm not liking the Switch thing, seems a bit corny to be honest. What I am liking is all those marques who don't mind their cars getting trashed, being chased by police and also having pedestrians in the game world.

 

Just shows how makers are starting to embrace games and how they can promote their wares.

[Tool831]

True fact... Atari have license's to Driver but has anyone thought that these cars due to atari owning TDU2 aswell. There is such a great chance of these cars appearing in TDU2. :D

[Eudemon]

Atari sold the Driver IP and licence to Ubisoft.

[TimBud]

This looks like it could well be as good as Driver2!

Can't wait. :cheeky:

Im with you on the "switch" ability, personally I liked the fact that if you screwed up a driving move it was either game over, or as in Driver 2 time to get out and run to another car

[Rai06]

Never played it sadly, but looks good.

 

Could anyone tell me the last game in the franchise btw? Might take a look at it.

[Eudemon]

Don't play the last game in the series, play Driver or Driver 2 to get the best idea of what the game is about. Any of the Reflections games basically.

[Flegmatica]

Whats with the rear lights on opponent's cars?! And what the hell is this "superability" what allows you to change cars? Why this just cannot be like any other sandbox title, just come out of car and steal another.

[BobbyV]

This switch feature is maybe a good idea for some space invaders shooting game, which I've never played and do hate them, but for a driving game, no matter how arcade it may be, c'mon, that's just stupid.

It got decent playground though and maybe it's not on GTAIV graphic level but the hardware requirements will be much lower I'm sure. Maybe I'll give it a go, if the multiplayer part is up to the task. Anyways it gonna loose lots of playin' hours in consequence of TDU2...;)

Not sure I'm really that interested but on the plus side it's going to have to go some to suck more than Parallel Lines and Driv3r.

[khevolution]

always searching for silver lining :lol:

[t.]

The inclusion of licensed vehicles, especially the likes of Alfa, RUF and Bentley do make it very appealing and makes a nice replacement for The Getaway.

 

Either I or my brother will likely get it, he's a Driver fan.

[Robban93]

OMG OMG OMG:yay:

[Rodrighazzo]

LOL! the first video remind me when I use to play Driver! amazing!

 

Well about the video... I agree with Diablo... I dont like too much that Switch option looks like that you enter in the mind of another guy lol

About the real cars, thats awesome, the first time that i see a RPG with real cars.

[T1M]

Wow! That looks amazing! I'm glad they haven't taken the GTA IV copy route, things like realistic cars really make it look great! Should be good, i've played all the past Drivers, and D3 was the best imo.

[T0M722]

I played Driv3r and it was average. Even if it was the best. Hopefully this one lives up to it's expectations.

[Guest mr cars]

Driv3r sucked lol! I still remember the time I was driving an 18 wheeler across a bridge when the trailer sank through and I used it as a ramp!

 

Hopefully this will be less glitchy! Might take a look at the trailers tommorow, as I'm on my Ipod at the mo!

[killalldude]

What a nostalgic feeling that trailer gives me...to bad everything after the original Driver sucked (I guess Driv3r was ok, but it sucked compared to other sandbox games at that time). This looks promising though!

[----]

YES! I absolutely <3 driver games.

[GTAMADDOG]

How very strange. I just finished doing a run-through of the original game on the PC and now a new version is announced. Yet another game added to my "Need to get" list this year.
