multiplayer

[TannerNeedsAHug]

So what's the dilly-o on the multiplayer? Is there gonna be one. And is there also going to be a film director?

[IceKing]

Multiplayer- not too sure, doesn't sound like it...
All new Film Director- YES!

[neonfaktory]

Well, I hope they at least put in the functionality of MP. That way, if they don't have the time to develop a full-fledged MP experience, some persistent modders could. Like what they did with GTA, only not so much of a hassle because they actually put the functionality in there.

Awesome, I can't wait to make a chase scene. I do it all the time on the first Driver, I can't wait to see what it will be like.



this is a long shot too, but do you think it will be steering wheel compatable? I'm leaning towards no cause you also run and shoot.

Multiplayer would be an awesome surprise!!!!

A steering wheel should work, most have the controls mounted some where so you could do the on foot as well.

If Driver 3 wants to be the GTA killer then they have to add multiplayer. So far its shaping up to be some good competition for GTA. The graphics are toooo reall and the damage is ridiculous. So the final step to give GTA some Competition is to add a multiplayer mode. Imagine having 2 players running down the street stealing cars and causing chaos.

and someone could also get a black challenger(its the closest thing to a charger) and the other get in a green mustang(if there is one) and recreate the Bullitt chase and edit it in film director.



Or just imagine a 2 player getaway and pursuit, that would definately make GTA shake in their boots.

Yes, multiplayer is what everyone has been wanting from GTA, so if D3 did it first this generation (D2 doesn't count), that'll really help sales. The only problem is the ps2 is being pushed to its limits already drawing up one area, whereas in GTA if they knew how to use the console to its full potential and kept the same graphics, they might be able to squeeze 4 player mode on one console out of that (for PS2). Its more possibly that there will be an online mode since then one console only has to draw up one area instead of two. And if there is multiplayer, give us 2 player Take a Ride! Please!!!!

I want everyone to picture this. One person driving while the other shoots at the cops out the window.

thats what I was thinking, and that was one of the worst parts in the game. But maybe it would be ok just as a free ride type thing.


But what if you could do a two player getaway where the two players have to get to a certain safe point and lose the tail before they can sucessfully getaway.

I like the idea of one person driving and the other shooting. They must've done it wrong in S&H (never played it), because in thought, that would be fun as hell, one person could concentrate on the driving, the other could concentrate on aiming.

[IceKing]

If they wanted to, they could ad some really fun multiplayer games.

The driver and the shooter would be a lot of fun!

NO it wouldnt be like starksky and Hutch. In that game you can only shoot with a weak little handgun. Now imagine spraying bullets at pedestrians and police using a machine gun or uzi.

On the link below they show that Driver 3 (DRIV3R) is a single player game. Link Below (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1069303083283&skuId=6259265&type=product)

The detail in Driv3r is as good as it can get, it's not likely that Reflections is going to abuse their top-notch graphics with a two player split-screen game mode. It would have to be Tanner and Jones in the same car, and even then, you can't go on-foot. But online with one other person is possible... not possible that they'd put it in the game, but possible that they are able to put it in the game.

[matt__jon]

Yeah, if they wanted to do 2 player on one console, they'd have to make it pop up 2 blocks away and less detailed pixels, it might be hidden some by being half the size you're used to looking at it, but I don't think they're doing a 2 player or online mode. They said they don't have enough time.

[t3h_nOob]

hmmm.... sounds to me like the PC version is a port of the Xbox version that comes out a month later.... I guess they must be adding new features, but what?

[matt__jon]

PC comes out 3 months after consoles (both consoles at the same time), so maybe they're tweaking it to work on different graphics cards, or something else. Hopefully tweaking it for easy add-ons. City editor please?

[IceKing]

City Editor would be a lot to ask for, unless they are really small cities...

[matt__jon]

They could just put in their city editor tool, since they modeled all the buildings seperatly. Of course, yes, it would be harder to make bigger cities cause it takes so long. I'd also like a building editor.

[IceKing]

Yeah, that stuff would be pretty cool, it would make the game last a lot longer than it already will.
