Do you guys remember the old Driver games on PSOne? Specifically Driver and Driver 2...I had a blast with those games. Loved the story. Now we have Driv3r and Driver PL...which were horrid. Any change we should get a decent Driver in the future?
Yes, I do remember. I finished the second one, never really owned the first, but I played it. Well, they were decent for their times. The last two were abysmal, but I can't see another one that would be good coming out, and quite frankly I don't see a place for Driver game nowadays. I'm not even sure how it would stand out these days, and what to include in it to make it special.
The Director mode is what really got me additcted...making your own movies with the gameplay you provided was just awesome for its time. Survival mode was really fun too. They will need to revamp it a little...but as long as they keep the forumla I'm willing to try.
Driver should be put down. I am content with the sandbox games we have now and that are coming out soon, TBH. Driver was ok for what it was when it was, but it was passed up a long time ago.
There are so many games i want a sequel of rather than driver, that it's not really on my mind... That's personal of course. No one lives forever, Beyond good and evil (which is coming?), Dungeon keeper, Sacrifice and Populous are higher on my list.
Maybe You could make a petition... Those things actually work sometimes...
The last one was pretty bad...who knows, maybe I should just pop in Driver in my PS2 to get some naustaliga but I would really like to play as Tanner again. Maybe acutally making the game open world and not in mission strings...living a doulbe life as he did in the others. Oh well...its not on my top priority list of wanted sequels since Killer Instinc 3 and Conker 2 are the ones I really want to hear about. But nevertheless...Driver has ran away with so many hours of my life...a great game.
Driver was one of my fav games for the PSOne. I would spend hours in Free Mode making movies. I liked Driver 2 too, but I never beat it. If they made another Driver like the first 2, where it mainly focused on the car chases like they were supposed to, I'd be happy.
As soon as GTAIII on the PS2 hit, the Driver games became obsolete. Driv3r tried to copy it but failed miserably. And every subsequent release has been garbage.
Even looking back on the first two, they were pretty bad games to begin with.
I wouldnt say they are bad games (1,2)...they did alot of things most games did not at that time. Car physics, huge cities and exiting cop chases. The 70's style of the first one made it that much better.
The one things that they did before alot of devs are user created content...the director mode was pure genious...if something amazing happened, you could save it, edit it, and show it to your friends. Love getting chased in survivor mode in the streets on San Fran.
I love the Driver games and played them to death back in the day... but as far as quality went, they weren't the best there ever was. There was a ton of game-breaking glitches, the difficulty curve was astronomically insane (playing D2 about a year ago, I wondered how I ever beat it as a child), the gameplay was relatively bland and the mission design was somewhat uninspired. It was basically just drive from point A to point B and avoid the cops... with no real variation.
I liked Driver 2, didn't care for 1, didn't like 3, and I never played the newest one. So no, I'm not hoping for another one. I mean if there was a new one coming out and it turned out really good then I'd get it.

Your right but when looking back at alot of games I used to play as a kid, they were usually bland as well, in today's standard. And yes some of the missions I played when re-visiting the game years later...it keeps me wondering how I ever caught that damn trolly in san fran. :D

You said everything I meant in a less euphemistic way :P
I'd love another driver game like the ps1 versions. the ps2 versions were aweful gta wanabes, they should go back to the routes and make a driving game not a action gta type game.
