The "Driver" Series - Oh shit I can drive through a mall!

[ComboTroop]

[QUOTE=FFStudios;22492672]Well obviously a portable version cannot hold as much data as a CD during the time period that Driver was released, so it's generally accepted that portable games were of a lesser quality than their console brothers.[/QUOTE]

Hmm... But some portable games were in my opinion better than console games, not in graphics or that, but the gameplay and replay value, Advance wars and that.

I remember playing the first game on the PS1. I couldn't get past the first story level.

I'm finding all the soundtrack songs from the games (all the ones I can find at least) and then I'll zip it and upload it for you sexy people.

I shed tears of pure nostalgia and memories of happy childhood when I read this thread.

I loved the first driver. I remember making a shit ton of movies in director mode. I'd get a few cops on my ass then I would practice driving the same few routes over and over on each map til I got it perfect (running over boxes and gettin some air, drifting, driving as close as I could to cars and shit as possible without hitting them etc.) Then I would mess with director mode for an hour or so after the drive. Fun times.

I see that there is this on the Driver teaser site:

So, can we assume that there will be no guns and no running people over?

I know plenty of 12+ Rated games that allow guns and violence in, but don't have much gore or swearing in.

Driver isn't much in the categories of gore and swearing. I heard "damn", "shit", "hell" and "ass" a few times in Driver 3. That was about it.

No problem. I had that same exact feeling when I found my copy for the PSX two weeks ago.

There's also no blood in any Driver games (except for gameplay in Parallel Lines).

I think that's just the style though and it does look very stylish.

Also, I enjoy the cutscenes. They are very well done.

[Cheshire_cat]

I did like the boats in Driver 3, unlike TK's crippling disease of water that makes him teleport out without his car.

I'm assuming TK is the main character in Parallel Lines? I only rented PL, never bought it.

[QUOTE=FFStudios;22454322]Driver 3 is great, but the missions are fucking evil in Nice.[/QUOTE]

Calita In Trouble in Nice, You had to rescue Calita who was set up by Fabian, and Lomaz came with you, My favourite mission in the whole game.

[Patcher]

[QUOTE=FFStudios;22490854]I remember the smell of GBC and GBA games too. It's weird.

But really, you expected a GBA game to be like a console game?[/QUOTE]

I had zero knowledge. I didn't even had a PC back then.

[MachiniOs]

[QUOTE=paul simon;22430086]Fucking this.
I had to get some 26 year old person to do it for me.

Then I finally got to play the game! :buddy:

[B]Did anyone find it awesome to drive back and forth over this small bridge that worked like a ramp?[/B]

Doesn't change the fact that it's fun as hell.

If next gen consoles mean that you no longer like classics than personally I don't think that gaming is for you.

Driver 3 was one of my favorites. If it's going to be Driver: San Fransisco I'll have to buy it and then compare it to the actual city when I go this August.

[Willie Nelson]

The only reason I played Driver 3 was for the hilarious bugs and running over people in the malls.
