Driver: San Francisco

[Eudemon]

Yeah I get what you mean, that's why I said it's lighter than it but I know that's not easy to discern. Maybe saying it handles more like Crazy Taxi but with body roll would have been better. :D

[Camel]

Hmm, this doesn't sound too good. *downloads anyway*

[Andreas¹]

What is with all companies deciding not to release PC demos anymore?

[iLLGT3]

^ Right!!

 

If I only had my 360, I'd be all over it but since I've got a PC now I want a demo!

[Ryzza5]

Darn - I knew the handling would be arcade, but I was hoping for something more like MCLA than Crazy Taxi or Burnout Paradise. *hasn't tried it*

 

I think I will get it regardless, but I'm not so sure about spending extra $$ for the bonuses.

[Eudemon]

It's like Driver 1/2 just the cars feel less weighty and float more.

[Ryzza5]

Never played them ;)

 

Floaty + those SF roads (hills/intersections, etc) doesn't sound like an awesome combo

[Eudemon]

Well it's not TDU1's moon gravity that's for sure. :D

[TimBud]

Driver 1 and 2 were superb I thought. Would love to see a rerelease of D2 on XBL Arcade. Would buy that in a second.

[Camel]

Meh, it's alright. Not worth £32 imo though. Might try and pick up a cheap second hand copy though at the end of the year.

[cis4care]

Loved the demo, the physics are good and the cars are beautifully modelled. If it's got awesome free-roam, TDU2's going in the trashcan.

[Eudemon]

Ok run The Escaptist without using any of the boost for an old style Survival feeling, cops are ruthless and are faster than you. Using Shift to drive oncoming traffic into them is somewhat fun but those Corvettes are tough. Also in Team Colours, screw racing, just use Shift and take out the other racers. You can win within about 60secs doing this.

 

I may pick this up when it's about £20.

[Paladin Skylark]

I'm picking it up after a price drop too I think, I'm legit impressed with the game - the graphics are loads better than I expected, and you can buy your own cars with garages and such.

 

The demo is boring - cause of the time limits... But overall the game is like a 7/10.

[Eudemon]

I played it again and honestly I'd be surprised if nobody from MCLA worked on this game. Driving normally has that sort of cruise control option and the way your character moves in the car and spins the wheel. Very MCLA like. Oh have to say I like the cracked and shattered glass that happens on all vehicles, makes a crash that more impressive somehow and the sounds when crashing are great too.

 

BTW park a bus or truck on the highway and watch the strength of the traffic as they barge into you and even believe it or not launch said truck 100ft into the air.

We can always rely on you to take a game and play it entirely in a way never intended. God bless.

[iNotACactus]

There's Cruise Control in MCLA? I've had that game for years and never known that...

[Eudemon]

I'm impressed with the underlying physics of the game in that FWD and RWD acts as they should, doing a front wheel burnout in a Neon is kinda fun as is seeing a handbrake actually lock up the rear wheels and upset the car.

[superhyper]

Finally got the demo downloaded and I just can't see why you people didn't like it - in fact, I did all the missions twice just because I enjoyed it so much :lol:

[Eudemon]

You have Hot Pursuit 2 in your signature so that could explain it.

[superhyper]

You have Hot Pursuit 2010 in your signature so that could explain it.

 

Yes, and I didn't find it undrivable either. TDU2 wasn't undrivable until the point where I tried it with a wheel. These games aren't made for wheels so I can just lean back and have some fun in them, playing with a pad ;)

 

And that reminds me, I should change my sig already :hmmm:

[GTAMADDOG]

Didn't even realise there was a demo out. Just need to wait for my PS3 to update after not being used for... quite a few months and then download the demo.. which could also take quite a few months.

[Eudemon]

[Ryzza5]

I hope there aren't too many missions where you constantly have to Shift like that

[GTAMADDOG]

When I did that race I just shifted between me and my team mates car, got them far enough ahead then went back to the other car. Worked out alright.

[Eudemon]

Yeah I know and I did that too but then I thought I wonder if we can use these innocents to sacrifice themselves to take out my opposition and what do you know ...it worked! :lol:
