What bugs/cheats do you want in Driver?

[brok]

Bugs, apart from being really annoying, can also be hilarious, and there's one from the Driver series that I've always loved, but wasn't in Driv3r. It's the 'car underside pogo' bug. Basically whenever you hit the underside of a car tipped on it's side in driver 1 or 2, both your and that car would bounce extremely high in the air- sometimes over 20 storeys high.

It didn't make much sense, but it was still downright gut bustingly funny. Are there any bugs from the Driver series you'd like to see kept in Driver? or any cheats you'd like to be able to use? Perhaps the 'trampoline car' bug from Driver 2? or an invincibility mode for the survivor minigame for some pinball-style madness? Let's hear them!

Cheat: Play in Current Day Instantly!!!

[#1theman]

Cheat-Play back in the 70's (if you got to the 2008)

[youcan'tseeme]

yah what they said, plus cop cheat where if you get away from the cops and steal a police car you can take it to Rays he can change the plates then you can go around and pull people over! they'll actually go to the side of the road to. it's not really a cheat more of a trick, but it would be cool.

[Yackemflaber]

cheat: Play as cops
cheat: some really cool car falls from the sky
Bug....i dont like them much

[john cena]

I'd like to see some of the funny glitches of driver and driver 2 as well as cheats like invincibility, immunity, unlimited ammo, no car damage, all weapons, and even the one cheat available in Driver where you can drive your car upside down. It looked so funny and hilarious to drive like that.

[Driv3r_fool]

Cheat: Alternate Civilian Paint Jobs
Description: Basically, some paint jobs on the civilian cars would change. white cop cars would be black, armored vehicles would go from yellow to blue... junk like that. I don't expect this to happen but it would be pretty cool.

Cheat: Car Drop
Description: A vehicle drop for certain rare or common cars to drop from the sky. Like GTA.

Cheat: All weapons + A ridiculous amount of ammunition
Description: Self-explanitory. This is the only cheat that I'm gonna list here that "helps" you beat or play the game. I only like the fun, pointless cheats :).

Cheat: Skins
Description: There would be a bunch of codes for different skins in the game, like in mercenaries. You could be afro-man, slink, ray, and all of the other characters, and maybe some characters from different atari games. It would just be a little thing for you to do when you get bored. They can only be unlocked second time through the game.

Cheat: Law Enforcer
Description: Play as a cop. Your skin will automatically change, and your current car will appear as a cop car from that era. Your radar will have blips on it showing you where crimes and chases are in progress.

Cheat: Mass Panic/Riot
Description: Self-explanitory pretty much. People running around with guns, and other various objects (there would be less traffic, more people, and more cops). You would find random cars flipped over, and random cars that look like they were on fire or are on fire.

Cheat: Max Hydrolics
Description: Kinda like the one cheat in GTA, where you press the R3 button and your car rockets about 15 feet and lands back on the wheels. Great way to dodge traffic.

Cheat: Always Night/Day/Dawn/Dusk
Description: Self-explanitory.

Cheat: Pedestrian Sets
Description: There would be different cheats for different sets of pedestrians. There would be the normal set, a set for homeless people (more homeless people walking around), a set for hoe-bags (more slutty women walking around), a set for old people (more old people walking around)....

Cheat: Northern Lights/Acid Trip
Description: The sky would change akward and psychodelic colors.

Cheat: Star Wars
Description: This is for when you get REALLY bored. Changes all bullets to red/blue lasors.

Cheat: Litter Bugs
Description: In a few of the new screens, you can see newspapers and soda cans scattered across the street. This cheat places an abundance of trash onto the street, making it look like mardi gras came to new york the night before.

Cheat: Big Head Mode
Description: The classic FPS/Shooter cheat. People will shrink to about three feet and their heads will grow three sizes.

Cheat: Ape Mode
Description: Kinda like Big Head Mode only with arms and legs. The arms will be as big as Timmy Vermicelli's from D3.

Cheat: Instant Junker
Description: After you enter this code, The car you are in or the one you were last driving will look like it was hit by a city bus. It would still have full health though.

Cheat: Hover Cars
Description: All car's tires will invert so the hubs are facing the street, giving the car a floating appearance. All tire marks on the street will be non-existant, making it actually feel like you are floating.

Cheat: Bullet Train
Description: When you beat the game, this cheat can be used. This is like the "Zero Mass" cheat in D3. Every car you hit will go flying.

Cheat: Bullet Train Cops
Description: Same thing, only the cops will have this ability. muahahaha.

Cheat: Classic Driver
Description: All of the old driver cheats except for invincibility. Stilts, Immunity, Antipodean, Forklift Controls...


Thats all I can think of for now. I'll add more as they come to me.

[pirjay]

Cheat-Play back in the 70's (if you got to the 2008)

You'll be able to choose from 78 and 08. They're not stupid enough to make you forget everything in 78 once you're in 08.

Wait, are they stupid?

[john cena]

Those are so really great ideas Driv3r fool.

[Driv3r_fool]

I edited my post and added a few more. If this thread dies, I'll make a new one with requests for certain cheats.

[brok]

Yeah those cheats were pretty awesome- I like that litter idea- it'd be great for getting an authentic gritty chase feel, and also for shoving any product placement on to really small inconspicuous cans rolling around the street.

I'd like to see a Soccer (or football) cheat where a massive inflatable ball drops into the street and half the cars on the road try to push it to the east side of town while the other half push it to the west. Every now and then the ball would get bounced so high it goes over into a nearby street, and there's a mad dash with all these cars trying to get there first.

Also a cheat to double or triple the length that cars float in the air after a jump would be great.

[#1theman]

Cheat- Cheap Roads= MOst of the roads have many potholes.

[Driv3r_fool]

It looks like this thread is doing better than mine, so I'll delete mine tonight if nothing happens.

[pirjay]

I don't want bugs in DPL :mad:

[#1theman]

I don't want bugs in DPL :mad:
Same here

[brok]

Bear in mind we're talking about funny driver1/goldeneye007 I-just-got-shunted-over-2-streets type bugs, not horrible driv3r/enter the matrix my-car-just-got-stopped-dead-by-a-10cm-high-curb bugs.

Oh and how's this for a cheat- Invisible ramps mode, which places double ended ramps in the middle of lanes, which you don't see until you ride up one and go flying, or see a normal traffic car do the same thing!

[matt__jon]

Ah, D1 cheats, lets see:

Stilt Mode
Mini Cars
Falling Cars (the cars fell, hit the ground, and then fall again from about 100 feet in the air, continuously, park under them for a good crash)
Levitate your car/other cars

PS1 had it going on, we had some good cheat codes back then, funny stuff like the ones I listed, now everythings too serious, everyones trying to be too realistic or something. We even had secret cars back on PS1 racing games that looked like they were 50 years into the future, what happened?

[Kulu911]

cheat-infinate mass

I guess everything the previous had.

I think that maybe you can switch eras of the game once you complete it.

[brok]

Haha- I remember the falling cars- every now and then the game would freeze with a disk reading symbol coming up on screen, then when it started playing again a car would just randomly fall from the sky and start driving like nothing had happened. It was cool as to drive under it before it bounced, but sometimes you'd clip it during the replay and the rest of the replay would be ruined...

It'd be great having a cheat for quick chase or getaway where the road is just covered in stuff like supermarket trolleys and BBQs etc, and you have to weave like mad just to keep up with the person you're tailing. maybe just throw in a tornado to explain why there's stuff all over the place. A bit random? Hell yeah!

[Canadian dude]

Cheat-Play back in the 70's (if you got to the 2008)
I'm sure you'll be able to chose that in Take A Ride Mode, that's if there is... If not, a cheat. It should be like just choosing another city...

[Diesel speed]

There needs to be a cheat where random cars just start chasing you up the street. Like a police chase except every single car that goes by forms a line behind you.

[matt__jon]

That might be annoying after a while, but it'd be fun to try, like the fugitive mode with cars.

I like that idea brok. We need to make our own game. If only I knew more about programming than the basics.

[Drív3rer]

Cheat: Speeding cars. All the cars on the road will be driving on top speed.

[Pyros]

The coolest cheat in any game would be turning your car into a magnet that attracts pedestrians. Imagine driving down the streets as a giant ball of pedestrians :haha:

[xtsubarublazin]

Pyros, you're not a moderator... again?

[Pyros]

That is correct.

[xtsubarublazin]

Amazingly, I just happened to find the appropriate DBZ post concerning your resignation, so all my questions are answered. :up:

[JAV_Swedish]

Stilt Mode

Yeah, stilts! :up:


That is correct.
again :eek:

[john cena]

Actually I would just like to see some cheats because the glitches could or probably will do some bad for DPL.

[brok]

not a cheat- an option:

Comic Cops: which basically makes the cops drive exactly like they did in blues brothers and driver 1- i.e. smashing into poles when you hide behind them, crunching straight into cars you have tapped, and roaring over hills to their doom when you park just over the crest. Also make them easier to roll over, just for good measure. Acually playtest that rolling idea, and if it takes the fun out then remove it.

And of course always leaving convenient gaps in their road blocks;)

[brok]

By the way- can we now safely say it's later part is set in 2008, and not 2006? I'm still not too sure.

[matt__jon]

I like the cop idea, especially if they have 100 car pile ups like on Blues Brothers.

And yes, the latter part is in 2006.

[brok]

Ohk cool, thanks. I watched blues brothers again the other day, actually. Apart from the italian job (the original, of course), i can't think of a movie chase i'd rather be a part of.

[Mr. Tanner]

How about a cheat or bug called "Cornholio"? Everybody has their shirts over their heads and saying "I am Cornholio, I need TP for my bunghole". Like when Beavis does that in Beavis and Butthead. Pedestrians should do this only. TK would look stupid doing it. It would be SO funny!!!!!!!!!!!

[john cena]

Yeah, but it would be kinda pointless because we need some kind of cheats the affect gameplay dramatically. And besides it would be a stupid idea to make a bunch of stuff that's funny because I really think that this game must do well and in order for that to happen Reflections can't be fooling around too much. I don't even think that they're going to even bother make cheats for the game when they should just add as much gameplay as they possibly can.

[Mr. Tanner]

Do any of you watch Beavis and Butthead? I do, I think it's THE BEST SHOW IN THE WHOLE WORLD! It would be funny to watch pedestrians act like Beavis and Butthead while you're driving or walking.

[john cena]

Yeah it would.

[matt__jon]

It would cost an unecessary amount of money just to add that cheat, which would get old very fast, even though I am a fan, the whole Cornholio thing was really only funny the first time. The only reason I laugh at it is to make a friend doing an impersonation feel like they aren't as dumb as they.. are.

Laughter is the best medicine though, its true, I saw it on Ellen. Anyway, I don't know how good Reflections sense of humor, or rather, humour, is, but being funny never hurt GTA. In fact it helped. Listen to the radio. No, the one on GTA3, the other games suck. Even GTA3's radio isn't hilarious, but at least its not completely stupid like the other games "comedy"

But I do like dumb traffic, like cops running into people when chasing you, or people who don't use their brakes properly (a la Burnout)

Yes I know that it's not that bad, but it's much better if you're really serious about making your games like most people have been then I know that particular game and all the future games of that development team will do better than they would if they goofed around a little with the game. Also if they are very serious about their games then they probably will do better than GTA one day. They just gotta believe that they can do it and everything will work out fine.

[pirjay]

Too many jokes were related to sex, in San Andreas and in my opinion.

[john cena]

Too many jokes were related to sex, in San Andreas and in my opinion.
Yes I guess you're right about that and it shows just what will happen to your games if you have too much of it. If you have too much of it then you could get in serious trouble or your game won't turn out the way you'd want it to. If you want your game to be very funny then do that instead of working on a action driving game and adding that kind of crap for no reason. I really want to see what Parallel Lines will tell us about the Driver series. If it gets a 10 out of 10 then it means that Reflections is really prepared to take it to the next level and perhaps overcome the GTA series. I hope they do and GTA will pay for interfering with Reflections, especially when they made fun of Tanner in Driver 2. Just because GTA looks to be on a huge role doesn't mean that it'll always be that way and I think that Parallel Lines will be one step closer for the driver series to become perhaps the best driving or even game of the year franchise out there. I just hope that they work really seriously on this game and it will prove that they are worthy of earning a few awards.

[Bowarcher]

Me, I'm hoping for a bug that will crash the game, format your hard drive, and eat your soul.

Just crashing would be WEAK.

[john cena]

Why would you want something like that? I don't think that you'd want to keep on turn your console on every time it crashes. I don't think that anyone would want that to happen.

[pirjay]

I don't think he was being serious.

[carlover325]

I want a variable speed cheat. I liked the super fast cheat in the original Driver game, but it was very difficult to control the vehicles, especially when making turns, and was next to impossible when using the already extremely fast cars (I think this was only the PC version). Anyways, I want to be able to choose how much faster the car can go, from 2x-10x the speed, because sometimes it's fun to go really fast off of a jump and watch the car go flipping through the air at close to 300 MPH, and 10x speed would make this possible.

I would also like to see the infinite mass mode come back. One thing that bugged me about the infinite mass mode in Driv3r was that it was only available in Istanbul. Hopefully it will be available in both 70s and present day NY.

If there is no beginning menu screen (like GTA), the cheats should be available in the pause screen, and there should be cheats that make it so you can make it only daytime, nighttime, raining, snowing, and/or clear (only allowing you to mix a time of day with a weather condition). But if you want to go back to normal, just deactivate the cheats, like you could in Driv3r.

A random cheat that would be really funny would be to have UFOs come and randomly abduct pedestrians, and if you are walking, make you just as vulnerable. You should be able to overtake your alien captors and take over the UFO and fly it around. It's really random, really funny, and would be really fun. :p :lol:

[Mr. Tanner]

Maybe with the Beavis and Butthead cheat, pedestrians just talk like Beavis and Butthead. Saying things like "buttmunch", "wus", "bunghole" and "buttwipe". I can come up with many others, but these are some of the funniest. Like TK can drive on the sidewalk and a pedestrian says "You bunghole!". That's what I'm talking about and it would be really funny.

[john cena]

Yes it would.

[matt__jon]

Lets look at D3, there was nothing funny in D3, other than glitches, and look how it turned out. I'm not saying a game can't be good without comedy, but it definately helps.

[carlover325]

I guess the Timmy Vermicellis were supposed to be funny, but it ended up being a really weak shot at Rockstar and GTA:VC. Humor does often make a game more enjoyable. There could be funny cheats that also affect gameplay, such as my alien abduction cheat suggestion.

[brok]

Even TV shows that see themselves as serious usually have little bits of humour thrown in to give audiences breathing space. I really can't see Reflections ever getting on top of Rockstar without growing a sense of humour. In a way, Rockstar and Reflections are like the old and new Italian Jobs- think about it:

The Old Italian job was laced with humour all the way through, and didn't take itself too seriously since the main characters were all about representing england, yet they were a bunch of squabbling no hopers- which made people like them more.

The new Italian Job attempted to come across as an ultra-serious tale of revenge, with characters that all came from tried and tested hollywood moulds. The result was a story that was plain boring, with little to no care shown for the main characters.

The old Italian Job really got creative in what it did with it's minis. It had them driving through stores, off ramps over roofs, through sewers and all over the place in the unsuspecting town of Turin, Italy.

The New Italian Job, again afraid to be too exotic for it's American target audience, quickly did a sequence in Venice (to give the movie's title a shred of meaning) before setting the rest in familiar territory for Americans- L.A. A few mini shots reflected the original, like the sewers...and that's about it. The mini sequence ended before it had really begun.

You see the pattern? Reflections (up till now at least) has been all about the ultra serious story with one dimensional characters that no-one cares about, whereas GTA plays a more adventurous tack with more fleshed out characters. GTA isn't popular because of a bandwagon like CS is, it genuinely knows what people want to play, and not only delivers, but always thinks to itself 'how can i improve myself'. As a result, Rockstar is always two steps ahead of everyone else, since everyone else is always thinking 'how can we be a rival to the current GTA game'

And the Cornholio thing? i'd probably laugh at it when I saw it, and then be sick to death of it after seeing the 4th person doing it. Pedestrian humour has worked pretty well when dialogue-driven, making animations for them would need to have a bit more lasting appeal than Cornholio...

[matt__jon]

I just said this in another thread, but it belongs here so I'll say it again:

A Cheat for Driver 1 physics, so if a car is on its side and you hit it, it flies in the air, or if you glance off the top of another car you'll fly hundreds of feet in the air

A cheat to freeze the water, so you can drive on it (except with ice physics), since we have no boats or swimming this time.

[brok]

That suggestion was the very first idea put forward in this thread.

I should know- I wrote it :D

[matt__jon]

Yeah, you're probably right. I thought it sounded familiar. Thats why I put in another idea, the water one, so we can drive on water like in Driver 1. Those were the good old days, I loved driving on the air next to the Brooklyn Bridge

[brok]

Or what about a cruise control! I can't believe I ddidn't think of that sooner! How much wear and tear would your thumb avoid if there was a cruise control button!

[matt__jon]

There was one on Driver 1 pc. Didn't work at top speed though, but sometimes if you held it down you could go faster than what should've been top speed.

[Driv3r_fool]

Lets look at D3, there was nothing funny in D3, other than glitches, and look how it turned out. I'm not saying a game can't be good without comedy, but it definately helps.

Yeah... It was an off white game... with a beige story line.... and gray music. Yeah D3 pretty much made me hate life.

[brok]

Actually I think the music was Driv3r's strong point. It was the only aspect that didn't have a weakness at all (the licensed part anyway- the specially made stuff was even worse than Driver 2's Chicago flute tune).

How about an 'invincible tyres' option- trying to complete missions with flat tyres is more frustrating than fun, that's why I put it down as an option rather than a cheat. Usually movie chases don't use flat tyres until they want to end a chase, and I don't like the idea of some rogue bullet telling me when my car chase is over!

[brok]

sorry for the double post but does anyone else really miss the hubcaps flying off? I always thought that was one of the coolest extras in the early drivers. I sure hope they include that as well, don't you think?

[Mr. Tanner]

I want different character cheats. From previous Driver games or other characters in the past and present from D:PL. Like how in Mercenaries you can put in a cheat as Indiana Jones or Hans Solo. We can play Tanner again!

[#1theman]

Now thats an idea. GREAT THINKING :up

[Mr. Tanner]

Thanks #1theman! It would be really important for these cheats to be put in the game.

[brok]

Wasn't it written somewhere in an interview that a cheat allowed you to look like someone by punching them? or am I just going crazy? :bulb:

[Mr. Tanner]

We need a cheat for a 24 hour clock and/or weather or dynamic weather.

[matt__jon]

24 hour clock comes standard, however no weather is in the game

[pirjay]

Wasn't it written somewhere in an interview that a cheat allowed you to look like someone by punching them? or am I just going crazy? :bulb:

Yeah, that was in a video. You might be going crazy also.

[Mr. Tanner]

There's no 24 hour clock standard in the game. It's GTA style time (1 minute on earth=1 hour in the game). I understand weather doesn't come standard. I want the time to be as realistic as possible. In GTA, you're simply wasting time because it's too fast for the day and night cycle, D:PL's going in the same direction.

[brok]

Yeah I'd personally like to see an attempt at a 24hr day cycle in a game, to see what impact it would have on playing the game for long periods. I don't mind the 24 minute cycle, but it is hard to try doing things according to a time of day, and GTA seems pretty set in keeping it at 24mins=1 day. Hell even a 6 hour cycle would be good...maybe even perfect.

[JAV_Swedish]

I am adjusting you ideas to this 1.
A cheat where you can ADJUST the 24h clock and the time.
24h Option. A slider between 24minutes/day to 24hours/day.
Clock option. Slider 00:00 to 24:00

[matt__jon]

There's no 24 hour clock standard in the game. It's GTA style time (1 minute on earth=1 hour in the game).
Oh boohoo. Maybe they'll incorporate an option for people who like to play games for 10 hours at a time to see a change in the day.

BTW, an example, Pokemon Gold and Silver had a 24 hour clock, worked in time with whatever time you programmed into the gameboy, sure, it was kinda cool, until you wanted to catch something. Some things only came out at night, and even then you barely ever found them. Not that that would be the case with DPL. Its just as easy (well not anymore) to just pick night time to play in when its night.

[brok]

yeah but who plays pokemon? seriously....

[matt__jon]

I was young and needed the money..

Anyway, that was a few years back, actually I remember it was the Christmas Driver 2 came out. That was a good Christmas.

[Getaway Man]

Why haven't I seen this thread before?
Cheats: Big heads
Hover cars
2006 cars in the 1978 era
Immunity
Invinciability
Unlimited Ammo
$9.999.999
All fast cars
All crappy cars
A Reflections team photo on every safehouse apon pushing a certain button.
Change what the kid looks like in the different eras(i.e The Kid cheat that is activated in 1978 would cause the kid to look like he would in 2006)
All buses
All Pinto's (the little cars)
Tank mayhem (all tanks)
Mega hit (when you hit a car, it'll go flying in the direction you hit it in)
Bigger explosions
Random explosions

Bugs: Can't think of any.

[Mr. Tanner]

So you basically want an agging cheat Getaway Man (TK looks older in 78 and younger in 06).

[brok]

I think it's pretty safe to say that immunity and invulnerability will make a return, though I also hope they have the infinite ammo cheat. I like the 2006 cars in '78 idea...just imagine the stares you'd get from pedestrians :D

[matt__jon]

I hope they have different invincibility cheats for TK and the cars, in D3 invincibility worked for both, I only wanted it to work for Tanner, but it wasn't that bad really. Your car could be dead and you could still drive it at top speed, just without any sound, and its at that moment you realize how dead the cities are. Its almost completely silent.

[luvmygames]

I hope infinite mass returns and that you don't have to drive to a location to activate it. I wanna turn it on from a cheat menu.

edit: A lot of crazy crashes take place behind your point of view as you’re driving along, and since we don’t have the film director anymore, infinite mass would be a great way to see some crazy action ahead of you. It’s like punting a football 50 yards ahead!

[Diesel speed]

Maybe some GTA style car-drop codes?

[Getaway Man]

^^^ A funny idea to use with trucker boy's idea, spawn a tank, and it squashes The Kid, say, what happens if you die or get arrested in D:PL?

[luvmygames]

what happens if you die or get arrested in D:PL?
Yeah, that’s a great question. They still haven’t explained what happens if you fall in the water. They said you won’t die from drowning, but since TK can’t swim...how does he recover? I’m afraid this conundrum could rip a hole through the space/time continuum!

edit: I just read a new article posted by #1theman, in the FAQ thread. It says that when TK lands in the water, he immediately reappears back on land and thumps the water out of his ears. I think that's gonna be great!

[Driv3r_fool]

Actually, the last article I read said that If you fall in the water, you just respawn right next to where you fell in and T.K. shakes the water out of his ear. Pretty nifty idea they had there, I think.

[pirjay]

That's funny.. but I'm not too sure why they didn't just let us be able to swim.

[brok]

tell me about it- all they had to do was make a better swimming animation and they had it made. Now TK needs floaties just as much as Timmy Vercimelli did!

What's that dude with the fishing rod who sits on a cloud and fishes you out of the water in mario kart? I'd laugh so hard if he swooped down to save you. He'd almost be the guardian angel of water resistant drivers everywhere.

[matt__jon]

because swimming is boring. In a game

[luvmygames]

Yeah, it's not only boring, but the environment may not support swimming very well in this game either. There's a lot of shoreline around Manhattan that's probably not conducive to TK returning on foot.

[Diesel speed]

^^^ A funny idea to use with trucker boy's idea, spawn a tank, and it squashes The Kid

That's trucker man to you. :D

[matt__jon]

yeah, now that you mention that too, luvmygames, I remember in GTA, especially Vice City, you couldn't get back to shore even in boats because it was all walls. That really sucked, very stupid decision.

[brok]

so what? it's better than standing on a burning boat, being in a car that gets pushed into the water, being confronted by a bridge with police blocks when trying to stay low, or having a cool jump go wrong and have your motorbike plunge into the sea, all the while wishing you'd learnt to swim as a kid.

D:PL is setting a lot of driv3r wrongs right, but no swimming is a big step backwards, particulary after the mockery they gave Vercetti for not being able to swim.

[luvmygames]

I'd agree with you brok if there were boats in the game, but since there's not... I don't feel like I need to swim. I'd hate to land in the water and have to swim 4 miles to the nearest ladder or smooth embankment to return to shore. The absents of boats negate the use of swimming in my opinion. Now if you wanna argue that they should have included boats in the game, and therefore swimming...I might agree with you there. I'm one of those that think EVERY vehicle should be in the game...and drivable. Including the helicopter!

[matt__jon]

I mean, they shouldn't take out all this stuff, but it was really boring stuff they took out.

[Driv3r_fool]

You know, I looked at the map again and It does look like a fun map for boats. But then again, I never used boats in D3. Like ever. And what was the point of being able to shoot out of the boat besides in the mission...

[luvmygames]

You know, I looked at the map again and It does look like a fun map for boats. But then again, I never used boats in D3. Like ever. And what was the point of being able to shoot out of the boat besides in the mission...
yeah, and there wasn't even much point to the shooting in that mission either!

[Diesel speed]

Boating sucked in driver 3 because there were no rivers to go through the city except for the one in Nice.

[Mr. Tanner]

WTF Diesel Speed? Every city in Driv3r had rivers in them! You should know!

[brok]

Now you mention it, it was pretty tedious swimming up and down the waterfront looking for a ladder.

[matt__jon]

yeah, especially when you drown after 30 seconds in the water

[Mr. Tanner]

I want an airplane control cheat! Like in SA where you can fly cars. Doing a barrel roll with a car in the air would be awesome!

[Diesel speed]

WTF Diesel Speed? Every city in Driv3r had rivers in them! You should know!

Miami did have one. Oops. Istanbul didn't really have a river it just had that bay thing going between the two islands.

[Mr. Tanner]

It's the Gold Horn River and that seperates Europe from Asia. You can cross continent lines in Istanbul!

[brok]

what? drown after 30 seconds? we're talking about driv3r here, right?

[matt__jon]

30 seconds, 1 minute, what have you, long enough that you would become insanely bored holding the stick towards the shore, and long enough that you can make it within feet of a ladder and drown

[brok]

that's weird- i've never drowned in driv3r. I'm also pretty sure I swam for more than 30 secs at a stretch

[InsaneDriver06]

Driver PL cheat I'd like to see: Flying cars/bikes high above the city, or just the main character. That would be a great change of pace and really give you a nice view.

[brok]

hang on- just the main character? you mean fly like superman or something?

[nato777]

It would be sweet if they made a cheat for like noob mode. For the noobs (I'm not saying I'm one I have the whole sieries so far and they are beetn' 4 times already).

Like they get help and stuff. Just another stupid Idea from me I guess.

[InsaneDriver06]

hang on- just the main character? you mean fly like superman or something?

Yeah, like that cheat code disc for GTA: Vice City, where Tommy Vercetti jumped, and he' float into the air till the city disappeared.

Or like the Jetpack from GTA: San Andreas.
I know, it won't be in the final game, but that would be fun.

Or a hidden plane somewhere to unlock...

[brok]

I know what you mean. Finding out how to fly the Dodo in gta 3 brought a new dimension to the game I hadn't even thought possible before then.

[brok]

sure the game's probably finished but we need a 'self righting car' cheat so you don't have to abandon your favourite barely damaged car just because it's on it's roof!

[john cena]

Yeah, like that cheat code disc for GTA: Vice City, where Tommy Vercetti jumped, and he' float into the air till the city disappeared.

You mean the moonjump right? Man, I sure loved using that cheat code in Vice City. And the code disc that you're refering to is Action Replay For Vice City. I can't believe that you didn't know that. It's like the most widely known cheat code enhancer out there.

[D:PL_Maniac]

its confirmed that the cheat for invinvibility will be ironman
my proof: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=54049492&blogID=90993377&MyToken=bc61c341-de88-46ff-bf70-d88753dd3305

[T.K.]

I can't believe noone thought of this one: Change from T.K. to the Driver 1 Tanner. The code should be "QUICKCHANGE".:D :p :cool: :) :alien: :bulb: :haha: :nuts: :dark: :hitting-self:

[#1theman]

I want like to get like
all cars cheat when you roll over like------- 20,000Km.
free-upgrades for rolling over-------------- 50,000km.
inviciblity for rolling over------------------ 55,000km
immunity for rolling over------------------ 55,000km
I know there pretty high but thats what they said some cheats are unlocked by. And thats a good idea, for a getaway game to unlock cheats.

[john cena]

Yeah and it's fun driving around so I think that it would be a pretty necessary method for unlocking cheats.

[brok]

that does make sense, but do you ever really use immunity? It doesn't seem particularly fun to play in- shouldn't it be one of the first ones unlocked, with invincibility and all cars being the last?

[D:PL_Maniac]

Was it a glitch in Driv3r when you jumped or landed on someones car they just stop and either shoot you or walk away?

[luvmygames]

Was it a glitch in Driv3r when you jumped or landed on someones car they just stop and either shoot you or walk away?It was probably programmed that when you come into contact with someone else's car, they assume you're jacking it and they either shoot you or walk away. I don't think that's a glitch. I think it's just the way it was written.

[brok]

...which is a shame, since car surfing was one of my favourite time wasting hobbies in GTA.

I know it's not a cheat, but since we know that you can buy bulletproof tyres and windshields etc, it looks like we might be able to have a completely bulletproof car...for a price. Honestly I think the armed police completely wrecked Driv3r's survival mode.

[Mr. Tanner]

How about special things that are in Midnight Club 3? Like Roar on Muscle cars and choppers, Agro (AKA freight train in Driver games) on trucks and luxury sedans, and Zone (Slow motion) for sports bikes, tuners and exotics.

[john cena]

Yeah that would definetly be a good idea.

[Comaro]

I hope they return the cheat where your car is unstopable unless you hit a solid wall. Like the infinite mass mode in Istanbul of DRIV3R. I'd get the fastest sports car mod it to the max with nitro and mow down cars on the longest bridge/long straight road I can find.

[brok]

I unlocked that for Istanbul, but now it won't work. Dunno why. Anyway it would be a blast to drive like that at 122 mph or whatever they said you can get up to now.

I also heard there was some cheat for one of the first drivers you needed a gameshark or something like that for, which would make all other cars leap in fright when you honked your horn. That'd be awesome, a bit like a spontaneous earthquake.

[matt__jon]

I don't know if this happened to anyone else who used the cheat, I also had invincibility on, but my car just seemed to get slower and slower, I felt like I was going 15mph, I know D3 has no sense of speed, so maybe I was paying too much attention to the speed I was going, cause that tends to make the game look a lot slower, but this seemed way too slow. The car was legally dead though, but because of invincibilty it was still running.

[luvmygames]

I loved the infinite mass cheat. That was my favorite and I'm really hoping it comes back. I never used invincibility with it, but I did notice some slowdown anyway. I hope they make it a truly infinite mass this time. In D3, you'd still slowdown a little when you hit a big truck or bus.

btw, great sig matt jon :D

[carlover325]

I also want infinite mass mode to come back. I thought it was completely pointless for it to be limited to Istanbul, I wanted it in all 3 cities.

I want to be able to choose the difficulty of the cops in D:PL. I don't care if it's in a menu or if it's a cheat. But I want to be able to pick one of the following: Immunity, Stupid cops, Okay Cops, Pretty Good Cops, or Super Smart Cops. Sometimes I just like to explore the city without cops chasing me, and that is why I want to be able to have immunity.

[john cena]

Immunity isn't very necessary because it's boring driving around without any cops and you'll likely get better playing the game when you play it the original way and that's being chased by cops.

[matt__jon]

I remember the first Driver, when I found the immunity cheat, I was so happy, and I played, and there was nothing to do. I eventually got bored of invincibility too. And infinite mass.

Only reason I used invincibility in D3 is because you loose health in accidents, and cops that get headshots on someone in a speeding vehicle. I really hate that I used to want to loose health in car accidents, I feel responsible because maybe Reflections read it and used it. Realism doesn't always work.

I actually wouldn't mind a developers mode cheat code where you could change all sorts of variables and constants, like gravity, or change all sorts of little options that are very specific, like say, how high a body flies when you hit it, or what direction it goes when you hit it.

In fact, that gives me an idea for a Flatout type minigame, Pedestrian Volleyball, its kinda like destruction derby, all the cars on the road would be involved, the object is to keep pedestrians in the air as long as possible, though they'd have to be made more bouncy so they don't just flop around. Any takers?

[DPL Rocks]

yea but in d3 if u get bored of mmunity u can turn it off and on whenever you wunt

[DPL Rocks]

cheat: it would be sweet to have a jet pack like in gta or you could jus fly

[carlover325]

Immunity isn't very necessary because it's boring driving around without any cops and you'll likely get better playing the game when you play it the original way and that's being chased by cops.

If you don't want to use immunity, then don't use it. But I may want to use it, so I would like to see the cheat in the game. Besides, if I were to play the game in it's original way, I wouldn't be using cheats at all.

[Comaro]

Remember that cheat in Driver 1 PS where you can steer with the back wheels? You could basicly drive backwards. If you know what I mean. Anyway I found that cheat pretty fun.

[luvmygames]

cheat: it would be sweet to have a jet pack like in gta or you could jus flyI think that would be a great idea. From the helicam view in the videos, we know the rooftops are in place on the buildings. It couldn't be that hard to let us just fly like a bird.
It's not so much that I wanna fly a helicopter. I just wanna get an overhead view of the city. I could play the game every day for 10 years and not learn the layout of the city as well as I could in just 3 days with a helicopter.

[DPL Rocks]

i think flying a jet would be pretty sweet too

[brok]

I'd prefer to stick with a slower flying vehicle- you get a better view of everything. Also you hit the boundaries and have to turn around more often in a jet.

[Comaro]

It would be nice to get a over view of New York. But frankly there probably won't be no flying vehicles or cheats to make you fly. If you want a nice far away view of Manhatten. Just go to New Jersey or Brooklyn and look across the river and see that tremendous view of Manhatten. :noob:

Yeah I guess you're right and besides Reflections is working with what they did with their first two driver games so it's likely that they won't use any cheats that rockstar north has already come up with. I think that they should stick to the series roots as long as the Driver series is around and there'll be no problems at all.

it would be kool if it was a big city though

[Comaro]

Without a very big city, you hardly have anywhere to fly with a jet.

(I feel weird talking about flying vehicles on a Driver topic, but instead of getting all worked up over this, I should just join in. :) )

[brok]

it'd be ok, but if you could only fit one I'd prefer a cessna or a light chopper or something like that.

[matt__jon]

Or a WW2 Spitfire, something along those lines.

Ah yes, the cheat codes of D1 were great, mini cars, stilts, rear wheel steering, can't think of any other weird ones right now. Ah yes, falling cars (gameshark) They need to bring those back along with some new ones that are just as wacky:

All wheel steering (not very weird actually)
Imagine rear wheel steering on a bike...:eek:
Pedestrians float away when shot/hit
Same with cars
Low gravity

I remember back on PS1, a game called Megaman Legends, that game was awesome, one of the cheats were double jump, and another was a code that let you jump and stand and walk in mid air at the top of your jump, so you could get high up and just walk around the city

[luvmygames]

one of the cheats were double jump, and another was a code that let you jump and stand and walk in mid air at the top of your jump, so you could get high up and just walk around the cityThat would be absolutely fine for me. As long as you can stay afloat for long periods and look down at the city's layout, I'd be more than happy with that.

[Mr. Tanner]

I want year cheats. So you can see the morphs and crosses between 1978 and 2006 in the 80s and 90s. Like a cheat for 1991. I'd love to see my city (NYC) in 1991, more modernized from the 70s, have some 70s cars back, and a few 2006 cars too for that year. Those are cheats we NEED for D:PL because it's about agging processes.

[brok]

A spitfire would be pure bliss! And if you could make peds and cars float away from you when you punch or shoot them...man I'd never get tired of that one! Just imagine sending a car drifting away, and shooting one side of it until it's spinning like a top in midair. Heavenly.

Can you imagine how much extra modelling and texturing they'd have to do to implement a cheat like that? The game already had two eras worth of stuff- isn't that enough?

[Mr. Tanner]

It isn't too hard really. It's all a matter of certain vehicles spawning, building construction, city styles, TK, pedestrians, and the Twin Towers. This game's about agging processes, not multiple cities like in the previous Driver games.

[matt__jon]

Well if it isn't that hard, then you go through the 30 square mile city, research what was there and what wasn't in 1991, change every building (thousands of them) accordingly on a graphics program, drawing every pixel, then model about 40 cars for that era, tune them to work with the physics engine, make them able to be modded, go back through, edit the pedestrians. Work out the bugs, and since its a cheat I guess we don't need music from that era. But if you wanted it absolutely realistic (since everyone seems to want that:rolleyes: ) go to recording studios and spend thousands on the rights to someones music, in a nutshell

Yeah, that does sound easy now that I think about it.

[brok]

Well I suppose the cars wouldn't be too hard- you could just make sure that models created after whatever the date is don't spawn, but the changes to buildings and textures would still be pretty massive.

[dubuque]

the same ones like infinate health+ammo never wanted, thats the only ones i have on when everr i play driver

[brok]

I never really play with Immunity- it just gets boring. Still, I can see how it would be good for exploration purposes.

[InsaneDriver06]

I don't know if it's already been mentioned, but remember those GTA cheat CD's for the PS2, called "Ultimate Codes by Action Replay"? Wonder if they're still doing this for games, since I haven't seen it around for any new games in the past year...

For GTA: Vice City, I was able to enter a code that let the main character float into the sky forever, as long as you held the jump button. You could see the entire city from above. They made a cd for the Getaway, but it was very limited, like the one for True Crime, which only allowed minor cheats that didn't really affect gameplay, just the character appearance and money, stat counts.

My point being they should make a cheat disc for DriverPL, allowing you to switch on and off a bunch of things in the game; traffic, day/night, pedestrians, flying mode, etc. New codes though.

Here's a link to the game codes with Action Replay Max. Too bad the codes are just rehashed.
http://us.codejunkies.com/codes_show.asp?rf=0&c=US&cr=USD&cs=$&r=0&l=1&g=13633795&p=13

[brok]

Action replay- don't you have to get extra hardware to get stuff like that to work though?

[InsaneDriver06]

Cheat for the next Driver: Allow an option to have at least five cameras on foot, and five cameras while driving/riding. More cameras, more angles to view the game... First person, 3rd person far, medium, close, angled camera, and above views.

[brok]

That wouldn't be a cheat though- Unless you mean having those camera views unlockable only after you've completed some of the game, which is a bit crazy- most games offer all their camera angles right from the start, which makes sense since people wouldn't bother trying to switch angles looking for new ones once they've been playing for a while. You'd probably get a pretty limited use out of a directly overhead camera, as well.

[f57o0h]

Damage to buildings you slam into at 160 MPH

[john cena]

Here's a good suggestion:
Get rid of the really bad glitches and bring back the cheats of D1 and D2. That's all the cheats we'd ever need for D5.

[matt__jon]

Well more weird cheats like the ones in D1, weird cheats are interesting, like stilts, mini cars, etc. The more general cheats are seen everywhere and are no brainers, so strange cheats are always cool because few or no games have them

[john cena]

Yeah got that right matt_jon.

[brok]

i'm surprised no one's busted out the 'drivable cranes' cheat...for all the good it would do! :p

[john cena]

it'd be ok, but if you could only fit one I'd prefer a cessna or a light chopper or something like that.
Well we don't really need to fit a chopper or plane into a garage. Maybe Reflections could just make it so that when you park a helicopter on a heli pad and go very far away, it won't dissapear. It should function more like a garage so that when you come back to the spot, you can find it there and use it whenever you want.

Or a hanger like in SA at the abandoned air field. That's another way you could store planes and choppers.

Good thinking Mr. Tanner. I forgot about that.
