Driver 4

Post by TheJabMan »

May have been posted allready, but Driver 4 "Parallel Lines" is out today.

I thought it was great news, till I noticed that they've now axed the PC version.

I suppose there isnt alot of substance here, I'm just hella angry.

I never heard anything about it. I'm assuming it's out for the Xbox, if so, not much good to me (since I don't have one).
1982 Ford Escort Mk3 1.3 L (restoration project)
1990 Nissan Micra K10 L (my first car, currently in long term storage)
1995 Ford Escort Mk6 1.3 CL (current everyday car)

Big deal. Driver 3 was an abomination. 2 kinda sucked. That stuntman thing was nonsense. The only good one was the first and that came out how many years ago?

According to reviews, all is fixed except the kinda odd out of car stuff, which there is less of and is somewhat improved.

Who the fuck cares, I just wanna jack cabs and blast off roofs... with horrific car damage that GTA just aint got.

Considering the utter crap that driver 3 turned out to be... I wouldn't even consider purchasing this one. So who cares it is not coming out for pc? :mad:

Gamespot reviews

Driv3r (ps2) 5,4/10

Driver 4 (ps2) 6,5/10

And since i thought Driver3 was quite fun (but still a big dissapointment), and Driver4 got better reviews, I'll probably buy it, but I'll wait some time until i can get it for less than 42 Euro (51.25$).

I dunno what people's problem with Driver 2 is.

It's Driver 1 with all new stuff and a two player mode. Capture The Flag's more fun than I had in a long time.

Driv3r wasn't so much bad as it was a let-down. High Hopes, you know. Like Pink Floyd said. Ofcourse, attempted suicide can be attributed to the jab at the then superior Vice City.

Driver 4? I'll wait for my brother in law to check it out and if he doesn't, fukkit. I hear they cut Director Mode and that's just what added to the replayability. And if it doesn't have a 2 player mode it's useless after one play too.

Awesome game on the XBox IMHO.

The thrill cam is frickin' superb. You can drop the camera and slo-mo powerslide and stuff past it. The damage? Devastating. Bullets have effect on car body panels and you can get shot through windows which crack realistically and have bullet holes too!

Missions are good too. Paddy Wagon is fantastic. Stop an armored truck as it leaves a penetentiary. Simple? No... Can't stop it with less than a school bus!

They seem to have every vehicle imaginable inclding front loaders that are better than San Andreas' ones.

I'm still in the first half of the game (1978) Not even got to 2006 yet... can't wait for that!
