Drive-bys??

[Unknown Shadow]

It is me again. Do you know there will be drivebys in this game like GTA. and if there are can you be able to do drive bys with any gun u want, or only UZI

[matt__jon]

Well, on the cover it shows Tanner pointing a gun out the window of his car, but that usually doesn't mean anything I think.

Actaully, that probably directly means you CAN'T. Oh well.

They Should let you do DRIVE-BYS!!! Ok in FPS' you use they right analog stick to look around and the left to move around, so it would be easy to shoot from a vehicle, drive wit the left aim with the right! True Crime made the awfull mistake of not using the right analog stick, Reflections should take advantage of being able to use 2 sticks dammit!

[matt__jon]

Well, ifs its anything like Stuntman they'll waste the right analog stick on gas and brake, well, it wasn't wasted on Stuntman since there wasn't much more to do. I agree though, although you gotta think too how hard it would be to drive, steer, aim, and shoot all at the same time, unfortunately.

For PC, it might be a little easier than the consoles, if you could drive with wasd, and look around with the mouse, and shoot by clicking. But that might still be a little tough...

Actually that works pretty well. If you need proof Drive the Scorpion in the UT2k4 demo. It's not the easiet thing to do, but it works once you get used to it.

But for consoles I don't think it'll be too hot. The normal X for gas controls flat out will suck for it, but Project Gotham style triggers for gas have a little potential to not suck.

What?! Keyboard sucks, how can anyone use them to play fast paced games at all?!

[IceKing]

Personally I love the keyboard! I've just gotten so used to it playing a bunch of different games. Plus I've tried FPS on consoles, and its too hard to aim... the mouse is sooo much easier, IMO.

[matt__jon]

Well, neither d-pad nor mouse are very good IMO. Too many buttons on the keyboard all in the same place, you can't tell them apart unless you look, but you're supposed to look at the screen.

[PSgamer262]

a keyboard is made for typing and doing things on the actual computer... a game controller is made specifically, and only, for games. I don't see how it's possible for either to be better than the other at what they're not really supposed to do.

[El_Nach0]

Well some people are good with a controller others are good with the mouse and keyboard I personally love the PS2 controller its simple small and durable. About 85% of people would rather use a controller thats why they have sidewinders and joysitcks for the computer.

most players who play FPS on the PC prefer the mouse compared to the analog sticks because it is much more accurate, although it does take getting used to when coming from console gaming.

[MrSeeker]

I hate PC games,iI dont care for playing games on PC,it takes away the real gaming experience for me

[mk.]

honestly I prefer the pc, much better for shooters. Racing games I prefer the console. So looks like I'll have to get it for both :p

[IceKing]

I also agree about the shooters, can't get used to them on the consoles, I also like PC cause the graphics, I have a nice machine that can put forth some nice graphics. Plus I have the surround sound... I love my computer...

In a fast paced game, lots of buttons is a good thing. Lets compare Driv3r to Driv3r:

1. Any PC that can run Driv3r is more powerful than a Xbox, which is twice as powerful as a PS2.
2. Rather than going through a list of guns, you press a single button to the one you want.
3. Far more space to save replays.
4. It's easier to aim with the mouse than analogs sticks.

If you don't like the Keyboard chances are you're using it wrong. You probably use the arrows for moving rather than WASD. Theres a huge diffrence as when using the arrows you lose access to nearly 40 buttons, but when using WASD you have 30 buttons with easy access to, plus the mouse. It's good thing once you get used to it. If you don't beleive me get the Unreal Tournament 2004 Demo and imagine how bad it would suck on anal logs. And don't just play it once and say the keyboard mouse sucks, give it a honest chance.

[matt__jon]

I don't like analog either, my point is in a fast paced game you have to look down and find one button out of 50 or so, plus you have to remember which button does what, and each PC game has about 40 buttons its using.

[IceKing]

For me personally, using PC is a lot easier, right now I am playing Call of Duty, it has like 10 important buttons right on the keyboard which are very easy to use. I never have to look down to see which button I press....

[Driver is cool]

Well it would be hard to drive a car with an AK and doing drive-bys ya know? I think this is false. Don't believe it.

[t3h_nOob]

If you can type without looking at the keyboard you won't need to look as you play in a fast paced game, but suit yourself.
