Driver 4 Wish List!!!

[Driv3r_fool]

That, my friend, would be amazing. Oh, the possibilities......

[Diesel speed]

Maybe a rainbow bus? :p

[Driv3r_fool]

Or an armored bus.......

[Mr. Tanner]

School Bus with FLAMES AND FIRE on the side would be SWEET like Otto's dream bus from The Simpsons. Also if it had Fire come out of the pipe.

[luvmygames]

This is a variation on riding the train. I wish you could call a taxi or even a limo service...then pin point your destination on the map...then just sit back and enjoy the ride. It would be VERY New York since cabs are a major means of transportation there. The view would include the interior of the car and you could look around 360 degrees. I'd want the car to obey the traffic signals and speed limits.
Maybe you could even take a tour of New York and the driver could take you to all the well known tourist attractions and tell you about each one. "Now, if you'll look to your left, you'll see the famous Chrysler building." etc etc etc

This is for when you're really bored and you wanna sight see.

[Getaway Man]

As much as I really like your idea luvmygames, Reflections sees it otherwise, they want to bring the game back to it's routes, which were just pure driving. I don't agree with just being able to drive, you should also have someone else do it for you. But then again, TK's rep is built up apon being a getaway driver, but even a getaway driver needs a good ol' rest now and them. Don't you agree Reflections?

Some really good ideas on the buses, I wouldn't mind some Twisted Metal style mods, you know, machine gun turrets on the car, or a missile launcher that comes out of the trunk, etc. Now that would be fun.

[luvmygames]

Yeah, I was kinda joking about that anyway. I guess what I'm ultimately wanting someday is a virtual city where I have the feeling that I'm actually there. It would have to be a simulation type game. I think D: PL is best kept as a driving game, like you said.

Somebody recently said in another thread, that they thought a good game like the Driver series should have lots of different vehicles and should let you drive them all. Even if they're not mission related. I have to agree.
After I've played every mission and side mission a thousand times, I'd like to have some other things to do. That's why I want boats, helicopters, construction equipment, Military vehicles, and even giant mechanical robots! King Kong would be awesome on top of the empire state building, swatting airplanes outta the sky as they tried to shoot him down. Okay...now I'm just being ridiculous.
:gaga:

btw...Twisted Metal style mods would be incredible! :up:

I like this taxi idea in a way. If your felony was all the way up on T.K, and there is barely any chance of survival in the area of the city your in, you could lay low for a second and grab a cab while no one is looking. Mark a destination on the map and have him roll by all of the cops for you. Of course, doing this would cost you some money, since cabs cost money in real life and it is a pretty cheap way of getting out of a bad situation.

[Diesel speed]

Unless the cabbie knows what is going on and you have to give him a bribe. :bulb:

[luvmygames]

doing this would cost you some money, since cabs cost money in real life
Driv3r_fool, if I ever get the chance to share a cab with you...I'll pay for your ride. It's the least I can do. I feel like I owe you one. Sorry about what I said to you before. I was outta line. :downcast:

[Driv3r_fool]

'tis quite alright my friend. lol.

[stuntdriver]

Hello again! :)
With D:PL right around the corner, any word on if it will be Backwards Compatible with the 360? I sold my XBOX hoping all future games would be BC as MS said they were to supply developers with the tools to make an upcoming release work on the 360.

I hope so :D
This game looks like what the Driver series is all about, Love the whole revenge aspect. But I really wish they would get the online abilities working soon, this would be an AWESOME Cat & Mouse type game over LIVE or 8 player Destruction Derbies :eek: One can dream, maybe the next one.

[Dreadnaught]

It would be VERY New York since cabs are a major means of transportation there.

Personally, I think subways are a bit more important for us. Cabs are expensive and there are only 12,000 of them for a population of 8 million in the city :noob:

That said...

That looks like it would be kind of fun. Kind of like an in-game easter egg :)

[luvmygames]

Personally, I think subways are a bit more important for us.
Oh, you're a New Yorker! My only knowledge of NY comes from movies and television sitcoms. I would love to live there :love:

Did anyone notice that they removed the "environments" section from the list at the D: PL website? That's a bumma. I was looking forward to seeing more screens of the city :(

However, I'm totally psyched at how TK is thrown forward when he crashes his car! I can't wait to see what it looks like in a convertible. That's a pretty cool innovation. We've all seen characters turn the steering wheel and look left and right, but I think this is the first game that's had this kind of in-car animation. Kudos Reflections
:10sur10:

[matt__jon]

now imagine if they made it like flat out where you could fly out of the car with rag doll physics, that would be awesome!

[Diesel speed]

Eventually it might get frustrating having to walk back to your car every time you hit something hard. Or you could just include a seatbelt button...

[Boscoe]

Eventually it might get frustrating having to walk back to your car every time you hit something hard. Or you could just include a seatbelt button...

Didnt they have that exact same option in True Crime NYC? Where you'd fly through your windshield after crashing unless you'd fasten your seatbelt?

[luvmygames]

Maybe instead of TK being thrown through his windshield, the guy in the other car could be thrown through his and land on TK's windshield.
The bodies would fall off TK's car within a couple of seconds.
Once TK's windshield is broken out, the bodies could start piling up in TK's back seat! :devil: Mwa HA HA HA HA HA !!

[Yackemflaber]

is there any word on the difficulty of the missions or whatever? because I have yet to get past the third level of driver 2 and another of the early ones of driv3r (dont have driver 1) and I want to be able to tell what's going on this time and see all the cool videos

[luvmygames]

is there any word on the difficulty of the missions or whatever?
Yackemflaber, the only thing I've read about the difficulty level, is that there will be 3 settings for the amount of traffic on the roads. ( I think it's 3? ) The less traffic, the easier the missions will be.

I completed every mission in all three games except one. It was the last mission I think, in D2. The one where you had to ram a car off the side of a winding mountain road. I must have tried that mission 500 times. I finally said the hell with it and quite. :(

edit: btw Yackemflaber, you should buy a copy of D1. My local Gamestop has used copies for only $7.
I know you'll still enjoy it.
You also need to get through that early mission in D3. Get that game completed before D: PL comes out. I have the strategy guide to help me remember the missions, so if you need any help, just ask.

[Diesel speed]

No, only AI did that.

I have the strategy guide too, but its still hard as hell to stay alive
and yeah, I'm going to get the origional driver soon

Is this your day job?:weird: lol

[pirjay]

Hahaha, Can Dude, I love you and your sense of humor.

[InsaneDriver06]

It's probably been mentioned, but I'm hoping there's a few interior bases to explore, like in Driv3r. The demo doesn't seem to have any buildings to enter, but it's just the demo.

[NY RealWheelman]

At first I didnt own Driver 1 I just had a demo and kept on renting it in 1999 so I never got to beat Driver 1 until I purchased that Driver Twin Pack in 2004, the last mission was hell for me and was in my memory card for like 5 years stuck on that mission lol, I beat part 2 before part 1 back in 2001, The last mission for that involved Tanner chasing a helicopter and it was also hell for me. Driv3r's last mission was the easiest for me. I hope DPL'S last mission is like 30 minutes long! And is real hard! Like after you complete the mission you have to get the your safehouse while evading everyone like in Driver 1's last mission. Choppers, road blocks, cops, mobs, you name it. And to make it impossible u need to return with a certain car. Nah J/K thats too hard lol.

[InsaneDriver06]

And to make it impossible u need to return with a certain car. Nah J/K thats too hard lol.

I never finished Driv3r's last mission, since it CRASHES everytime I get close to winning, so I just give up. Driver 1 was tough, but I was so frustrated trying to beat the last Driver 2 mission. Must've played it 200 times before I finally beat it. For me, I don't mind a challenge as long as it's fun, but Driver 2's last mission was to the point of total frustration, and not fun at all. I've never played that mission again since beating it.

On a side note, I'd like to see a future DRIVER game include "Cruise Control", so I can cruise through the cities, freeways, streets at a steady speed any time I want with just a click of the R3 button. That would be very cool.

[carlover325]

Basically, I don't want each mission to be harder than the mission before it. I want hard missions mixed in with easy missions. Of course, the beginning missions should be easy, because that will help you get a feel for the car handling and controls, and the very last mission should be either difficult, or long and of medium difficulty. In the life of a real wheelman, he will get hard missions and easy missions, and difficulty of the mission should reflect how much money is received.

[matt__jon]

Ah yes, the last two missions of D2, chasing the guy around the canyon, and later the helicopter. The helicopter wasn't as hard as he's not blocking your one lane road with a cliff on the side, plus it always went the same way. I probably could've powered a few cities with the power of my screams from all Driver games, not so much in D3. D1 I didn't get past Frisco, the two part mission where you go to 3 places without a tail then with all the damage you have, you have to go across the bridge.

I just didn't get into the D1 missions as much, I would get frustrated trying to figure out what all the driving terms were for the opening mission, this was a long time ago, though I'm still not a professional driver anyway. It just seemed to me anyone with feet would've changed cars when the first one was totaled, so I didn't like D1's missions as much.

Some tense moments, extreme close calls only leading to failure suck so bad.

[Canadian dude]

Hahaha, Can Dude, I love you and your sense of humor.
Thanks, but please don't say You Love Me:p

[pirjay]

Thanks, but please don't say You Love Me:p

Don't worry, I say that to everybody.

Doesn't mean a thing.

[Canadian dude]

good, lol

[#1theman]

Yeah some of those missions in Dr1 were hard. But i didn't get the two different endings. Who was Tanners girlfriend in the jeep? And something Dr Pl needs is not to screw it up. That's it i don't care if its some sort of GTA clone with way better graphics i just don't want them to mess it up. And all i can say it LET THE TESTERS TEST THE GAME LONGER, TO FIX ANY PROBLEMS.

[Mr. Tanner]

I have NEVER seen that scene with Tanner's girlfriend in the Jeep. Please tell me what mission that scene comes before or after, PLEASE.

[JAV_Swedish]

After "President´s Run" mission.
IF you saved the girl earlier in a mission.

[Mr. Tanner]

What mission? I beat all Driver games. The only mission I can think of where you save a girl in Driver 1 is in L.A. when you have to save a girl named Maya. Is that the earlier mission?

[JAV_Swedish]

A mission in New York.

I have had a "Road Map" of the possible missions you can do, but I am not sure where I have it now.

[Canadian dude]

This topic is dying, probably because Driver: Parallel Lines is less than 2 weeks away...

[Mr. Tanner]

This topic is dying, probably because Driver: Parallel Lines is less than 2 weeks away...
True. But you can go to the Driver 5 wishlist thread I made and put your requests down there if D:PL forgot to put something you wanted.

[Solomon Caine]

OK, i know the game is out in liek two weeks, so this is probably a pointless hope, but I think there should be a cheat code where you can play as Tanner or something in regular Take A Ride mode.

[Canadian dude]

True. But you can go to the Driver 5 wishlist thread I made and put your requests down there if D:PL forgot to put something you wanted.
Ok:up:

[Mr. Tanner]

Ok:up:
I hope you enjoy it!

[driv3r_madness]

Hopefully Parallel Lines will be the best!!!
I hope that it's got a hud remover so making video's isn't all that hard.

[InsaneDriver06]

Hopefully Parallel Lines will be the best!!!
I hope that it's got a hud remover so making video's isn't all that hard.

Yeah, I hope there's an option to remove the onscreen display (HUD). It makes the game experience "more realistic" and less cluttered, though I use the hud for missions, just not while free-roaming.

[Canadian dude]

I hope you enjoy it!
I'm sure I will;)

[D:PL_Maniac]

wait what the hec is HUD?

[Mr. Tanner]

The HUD stands for Heads Up Display. That would mean like your health meter, map, felony meter, speedometer, and other things that can possibly help you out when you play.

[john cena]

Those sure are necessary. I just love HUDs. HUDs HUDs HUDs! Lol.

[Canadian dude]

HUDs are good, but Dukes of Hazzard: Return of the General Lee, or the The Getaway didn't have HUDs and they were relatively fun games still!^

[pirjay]

Sometimes no huds can make games more realistic... King Kong, like.

[DPL Rocks]

DPL IS GOING TO BE THE BEST

[john cena]

DPL IS GOING TO BE THE BEST
It sure is.

[DPL Rocks]

it beter be better than driv3r:pout:

[Getaway Man]

^^ I'm sure it will.

Does anyone know yet if for sure that you can drive the '70s car, or some, in the '06 era?

[pirjay]

It was confirmed that you can.

[driv3r_madness]

I hope Parallel Lines come with a feature to remove the hud because then it'll make it easier to make video's on DRIVER: Parallel Lines.

[matt__jon]

The HUD doesn't make the game, but it does help sometimes.

[Canadian dude]

YAY, DPL is one week away.

[DPL Rocks]

Has anyone here pre ordered it?

[carlover325]

I preordered the Limited Edition. I preordered it on January 6, 2006 at 17:31 (5:31 pm for those of you who don't understand Military Time). It cost me $53.86 because I wanted to just put all of the money down. A bunch of useless information, but I have my receipt right in front of me so I wanted to annoy everyone with it. :D :p

[DPL Rocks]

what is the limited edition suppose to be like. Like how is it better then the regular DPL coming out?

[carlover325]

Quoted from GameStop.com
The Limited Edition game includes Special Boxart, the Soundtrack from the Game, a "Making Of" DVD, a NYC custom map and Game Art Mini Posters featuring the cast of Characters!

Not too bad for only $10.00 more.

[luvmygames]

what is a custom map?

[DPL Rocks]

Not too bad for only $10.00 more.


Yea i ordered the regular one coming out march 14th or 15th

[Mr. Tanner]

what is a custom map?
I think it's a fold out map that you can hang up on your wall. Like with GTA games.

[john cena]

I pre-ordered the limited edition too.

[Canadian dude]

I still gotta reserve it. Stupid future shop and my gift card:mad:

[matt__jon]

I'm getting the regular version. I just want the game.

[#1theman]

I'll try to get the LE but if its not there opening day I'll just get the regular.

[LoXodonte]

This topic is dying, probably because Driver: Parallel Lines is less than 2 weeks away...

I don't think so. Maybe the topic is dieing because it's become a bit obvious at this point that the developers have completely ignored this thread. I've posted numerious ideas, most revolving around online multiplayer modes, which apparently has been canned completely. What a disappointment, it's funny to think that driv3r potentially has more to do "online" then parallel lines will. Whats even more frustrating is how I've kept my xblive account enabled for the last 6 months just waiting for this game...paying monthly I might add...completely in vein.

You say driver is getting back to its roots? No, drivers roots were in innovation. The original game had style and personality that went beyond the culture, or setting of the game; innovations in physics, and concepts such as the film director. Now it seems as tho many of the characteristics that once seperated this game from the hurd, has been stripped. In my eyes, cutting the online multiplayer and filmdirector modes basically transforms this game into Gran Theft Auto: whiteboy edition.

I'm sure many of you are excited about new conccepts such as "customizing your vehicle". That's neat and all, but what driving game doesn't allow this....this isnt' a "rad" new feature, this is Reflections playing catchup. I'm sure if you stepped back and looked at many of the new features that this game boasts, you'd prolly notice the same catchup trend.

In closing, parallel lines could have been a great game, and the first to introduce multiplayer online to free roaming, open ended gameplay....instead, it's most likely that the GTA series will be the first to go online, and will likely steal the market. GJ REFLECTIONS. I'd also like to give ya a pat on the back for stripping the series of the Film Director, the most unique feature that has been in EVERY SINGLE DRIVER GAME...until now. I think it's obvious that reflections is no longer pursuing innovation...because that's not where the money is. They're still bitter about Rockstar stealing their genre, and in my eyes has basically tailored the game for "commercial success", and good, or at least better reviews from the likes of gamespot and ign.

Btw, look for the film director mode in stuntman. I'd bet $20 that's where it's going.

[luvmygames]

Hahaha, GTA: "whiteboy edition." :D
Get ready to be flamed to hell saying that in this forum, but I have to tell you...I totally agree.

[Loe]

Wish list?

One thing, which would make this game all kinds of awesome-

The Blues Mobile.

Edit- Oh, whoops. It comes out in Nine days. Hadn't noticed that...

[NY_Realwheelman]

"I feel a disturbance in the force, Begun the Flame War has":mad:

1st of all, this topic IS dying because DPL is coming out soon. Thats like saying the Driv3r wishlist is still popular.:rolleyes:
2nd of all the developers have not ignored this thread, If you read the earlier posts which began in June 2004 (by the great Matt jon:D ) you will notice that many suggestions that were not impossible or ridiculous did make the game! You was here since what October! Thats over a year into development, so can you really expect your ideas which were probably dumb anyways to make the game! Online was removed with reasons and it helped them focus on the actual game more! And yes they have used ideas from other games in the genre, but I hated the way they were with all my heart in those games! This game is meant to bring Driver into the current generation the way it should be! And it may be a we could do it too type game but its also proving we could do it better! The game has not even come out and I sure theres no game that is better in the genre! I find Driv3r better then GTA:SA, So imagine what I think of Driver Parallel Lines! I have many friends that will buy this game just for the racing parts, others just want to drive around! Thats innovation to me! When a title could be played for only one feature and still contain many more things to do! AND FOR THE LAST TIME! FILM DIRECTOR WAS REMOVED BECAUSE OF THE LARGE POUNDS OF S#!T IT PUT ON THE GAME!!!! IF THEY DID PUT IT IN DPL YOU WILL BE HERE B##CH##G "IT SLOWS DOWN TOO MUCH, THE STREETS ARE EMPTY, WHERES THE TRAFFIC, WHY SO MUCH POP UPS, I HATE THIS GAME :cry: :cry: :cry: ". AT LEAST PLAY THE D@MM GAME BEFORE YOU SAY IT COULD OF BEEN A GOOD GAME!!!!:mad: But im gonna calm down because like you said its what you see through your eyes, so put some glasses on like me :cool: . :up: BIG UPS TO REFLECTIONS!!! I LOVE DPL!!!

[driv3r_madness]

Why? Is this topic still alive.. i shall be thinking. Hmm.. is reflections going to read this wishlist for parallel lines which is already in packaging trying to get shiped out but the factory is still creating games. over 4million get sold in the first week. Like DRIV3R's 3 million in the first week.

[matt__jon]

Its an ongoing wishlist, whatever doesn't make it now, can make it later. I'll change the title when I get a chance maybe. But this thread is long. I'll need to go over it and pick out all the good ideas, make it a faq style thread, that way the ideas are slightly easier to find for Reflections, instead of flipping through 30+ pages. Plus now we got some time before D5, best time to do it. I suppose we could use the other thread, who knows.

Remember that outrageous Stuntman 2 idea I had 2+ years ago?LINK (http://www.ina-community.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4669277)

Well They kind of took it :cool: The new Stuntman game coming this fall and NOT developed by Reflections but Paradigm has DRIVER: The Movie as one of the films you are doing stunts for.

[matt__jon]

Really? Not really a crazy idea, but maybe they are still doing the movie???

[LoXodonte]

You was here since what October! Thats over a year into development, so can you really expect your ideas which were probably dumb anyways to make the game!

First off, notice that my complaints are not for my own personal ideas that didn't make the game, but rather options that are pressumed, or originally planned as a feature by the developers. In other words, Film Director is not exactly an idea of mine fella...why would I put crap on my wishlist that I automatically assume would be in the game...Online gameplay is another concept that has no bearing on my membership to this forum because it was already planned. Bottom line is they've removed the film director, and they've removed online. Why would I be happy as a long term fan of the franchise for them removing stuff I like. They've abandoned their hardcore audience: When you beat driver 3, the only thing left to do with the game, the one thing that gives the game infinite longevity, is film director, and sharing your directed movies online. NO MORE. I don't care how many cheeseburgers you sell at your day job, you're not going to sell me on the idea that losing core features is a good thing. The most irritating fact is how they've removed the online game at the very last minute, that it wasn't up to snuff. As I said much much earlier in this thread, include multiplayer NO MATTER WHAT. I don't care if it has no point, just let people run around in this big world and do whatever the hell they want. I didn't have to be a 5 year member of this forum to have that simple request granted, because they made that decision recently.

If you read the earlier posts which began in June 2004 (by the great Matt jon ) you will notice that many suggestions that were not impossible or ridiculous did make the game!

Oh rly? Like what? Bullet proof tires? LAFF

Online was removed with reasons and it helped them focus on the actual game more!

Online was removed with reasons? OMG REASONS. Focus on the game you say? Funny, I thought the game was already done when they decided to pull online. LINK PLZ.

theres no game that is better in the genre!

You son, are a fanboy. I love the Driver series, but if GTA stopped selling culture and started selling a good looking game with crazy physics, nice graphics, online mode, and film director, I'd dump Driver in a second. I have no loyalty to Reflections, at least not anymore.

FOR THE LAST TIME! FILM DIRECTOR WAS REMOVED BECAUSE OF THE LARGE POUNDS OF S#!T IT PUT ON THE GAME!!!! IF THEY DID PUT IT IN DPL YOU WILL BE HERE B##CH##G "IT SLOWS DOWN TOO MUCH, THE STREETS ARE EMPTY, WHERES THE TRAFFIC, WHY SO MUCH POP UPS, I HATE THIS GAME

Hmmm, strange. Why is it that an ancient game like quake 3, or rtcw...doesn't drop a beat when recording replays. The most amazing thing is, you'll never see a quake 3 replay that doesn't EXACTLY mirror what originally happend (where as in driv3r, if you're fps stooped, and particles or chunks of vehicles were laying about, you might find tanner uncontrolably hopping and skip'n around)...Quake 3 can do replays perfectly in single player, and multiplayer online...and simultaneously run on a late gen Pentium 2 processor. Now...do the math Xbox > Pentium 2, Driv3r = newer then Quake 3. WEIRD HUH. Let me write out my work for you. REFLECTIONS IS CLEANING UP and simply trying to make a buck so they'll have the $$$$$ for the next gen Driver series. All their focusing on in PL is presentation. Rather then re-code and optimize their buggy ass film director, they decided to chop it completely and get off work early for some TGIF golf sessions.

Basicly I view PL as an expensive platinum hits series/hybrid GTA with stripped options, cosmetic make over, and 70's soundtrack. I'm sure I'll have some fun with the game, but I'm not happy with reflections atm.

I am curious what ideas of mine you'd consider "dumb" tho. Maybe you should take a time out from typing all those lil faces and go read a little.

[LoXodonte]

Oh yes, another annoying point is how they don't have a faq on their flash website listing all the games features. What the hell is that all about? Ashamed or somin?

[BIG-BOSS]

Driver pl no pre ordered release 14 march too or just for Pre Ordered?

[Mr. Tanner]

Come on guys, my Driver 5 wishlist is dying. I thought by now, all of you would be chatting in it. We already know most of D:PL's content. Let's move on, remember this phrase, "It's never too late to try again".

[luvmygames]

oohhh SNAP! :p
Gotta hand it to LoXodonte. That dude knows how to make a point.

I don't know about an actual movie being made but it is called DRIVER: The Movie and it takes place in San Francisco. I think it is just like all the other fake but yet recognizable flicks within the game. They say "We thought giving a nod back would be cool."

All this comes from a 2 page preview in EGM #202 It coming for the 360, PS2, & PSP no XBOX release.

i think its time to move on and go to the driver 5 wish list

Online was removed with reasons? OMG REASONS. Focus on the game you say? Funny, I thought the game was already done when they decided to pull online. LINK PLZ.

Online was taken away earlier, we got the news in late december if I remember it correctly, in 1 of the developer interview videos.

Well before we all start posting our wishlist I think that we need to know what DPL had that made it awesome and what things we'd need to add to it so that it could be improved. If we were to come up with something like this then it's likely that D5 will be even better. I mean think about.

Think he's a GTA fanboy?

Sometime soon I hope to play San Andreas for a couple hours without grit'n my teeth. It's going to take a lot of beer, but I plan to write my own San Andreas vs PL review.

Maybe I should copy 1 of my posts to it.

I think Driver: Parallel Lines was a good rent game.

Driver: PL was a perfect 6/10 game.

Driv3r was an unfished version of a 9/10 game. Sad so many things weren't finished. Stupid Atari, Reflections should just abondon Atari.

I'd say Reflections is just as stupid as Atari.

Its an ongoing list. Whatever doesn't make it now can still make it later.
