I think that the idea for a Superman/Neo cheat is almost less likely to appear in Driver. However, if you're really looking for any games that take a different approach with sandbox gameplay (lets say a superhero one), then something like Sucker Punch's Infamous would be a good title for this.

How less? It wouldn't be that complicated.

There will very likely be cheats and this is one that could be exciting for me. Giving me special forces, but not invincibility, and having "more sensible and fair" fugitive mode would be great mix. That all being somewhat reconizable.

I don't care about superhero sandbox in no special way.

A cheat like this would require some pretty well done physics for the environment and objects, which isn't impossible, but I don't know how far Reflections means to push its next Driver game with the driving, on-foot, and the world surrounding it, so I wouldn't exactly give high hopes for such a cheat as this.

Yeah, Im all for putting the effort to "real" base game. Cheats and options and such are just secondary.

Someone made this thread, I just expressed what I think. Path Of Neo still works great, but it's a whole another game.

quote:

I really don't think that Reflections can innovate on that anymore than Rockstar North.

Have some faith, And imagination, the cheats in GTA aren't really spectacular, same thing in every other game

And look, Obviously other areas of the game need work first, we don't need to keep posting that in every thread, we get it, Reflections knows that

That said, think of some wacky cheat codes, write the first thing you think of. Its creativity at its best, doesn't have to be realistic

Melting Gun: A gun that melts objects into a puddle of molten-whatever it was made out of

True that we don't have to keep saying the same stuff.

But this all is all about priorities. Reflection must know what we want 1st, 2nd, 3rd and last. I don't want them to think that if they add Matrix cheat they can leave on foot as it is and be lazy.

That said, GTA, True Crime and all others are very sloppy, unpolished something there and here games. Some fun, but Driver should really be the game with the best and well built core. Player movement and environments are priorities for me, smooth and deep driving and on foot and lively (includes AI and physics), pretty, yet unglitchy environments.


Maybe the Matrix cheat could be cut down to people turning to agents. It would be the single best part of it to see people around me turn into agents and start to chase me. Much funner fugitive mode. Thinking the Neo's run through streets and apartmenrs agents appearing everywhere. Surely it should be felony based, low felony means less agents and full felony means Burly Brawl.

Cheat codes don't take nearly as long to program as the actual gameplay, so by default they are afterthoughts

I'd like a "Debug Mode" cheat, like the one from the first Sonic the Hedgehog on the Genesis, where you could throw in tons of enemies, objects, change life count, do pretty much anything in the game from what I remember. So if you want twenty cars and a ramp set up, it could happen, similar to what you could do in Tony Hawk's Underground Create a Park mode.

Debug, referring to the mode the programmers use to test out different things in the game to see if it works right.

That hasn't prevented many games being rotten from core while providing senseless cheats and other unnecessary extras.

Driver 3 had huge problems and still we got cheats that weren't that well made either. Armed pederestians are stupid because the basic AI is stupid.

Yea, but D3 didn't have many cheats, so your theory holds no water. The armory cheats were simple modifications of existing gameplay, the timmys in the trucks simply replaced cop cars, fugitive mode everybody was the pissed off guy you occasionally saw, infinite mass just never loose momentum

cheats are like the cherry on top, doesn't effect the flavor of the rest of the sundae, but you can eat it if you want to

I remember talking about debug way back, I've always been a supporter of that, no one else ever seemed to say much about it though

I think that an editor feature for the game would suit better than this. It could allow for creating vehicles, weapons, pedestrians, missions, or environments and objects. Better yet, I think that players should have to put in more effort and work towards a game through modding. Unreal Tournament 3 on the PS3 proves that one day, we will see a home gaming console capable of a modding community. I'd love for Driver to be one of those games. It would represent far more than some cheat codes. As far as I'm concerned, I think that cheat codes are nothing in comparison to user-generated content.

User-generated content allows users to create whatever they imagine through tools within some kind of program. It's even becoming more possible with video games. On the PC, this has been possible for games through the use of modding. I like this idea so much since creativity will stretch to unlimited possibilities that I think a modding topic would be awesome for this forum.

Infinite Mass Mode - On Foot! - When cars hit you they wrap around you, like Hancock where he stops the train, or Fantastic Four where he stops the semi. Seperate from in-car IMM cheat

Heavy Metal - Bullets launch victims backward.

Cool new cheats. Infinite Mass Mode with the ability to fly would be awesome.

Yeah I forgot the flying cheat code in the wishlist. I've barely started looking through this thread. If theres a flying cheat code I wouldn't mind not having planes so much.

It would be cool if the flying cheat code if you could still shoot. And much like Counter-Strike where you can fly around after you die, you would look where you want to go and press forward

That's why cheats are important, as they add new ways to play an old, stale game that were never intended in the original game. Flying is one of the best cheats possible IMO.

EDIT: I was going to trade GTA4 in for awhile now, but decided to keep it since it does have some decent moments, but nothing exciting. One problem is the fact Rockstar North left out all the great cheats and gadgets from GTASA, like the jetpack, the cheat that has people run after you, airplanes, flying cars, etc... That stuff didn't ruin the game, it made it more fun when the original game already went stale.

Yeah even though I don't own GTA4, I did take a look at the cheat codes and they seemed a bit lacking, mostly just spawn cars, it seems Rockstars lost their edge, time for Reflections to jump into that #1 spot.

In GTASA, I like to use the Huge Bunny Hop cheat for bicycles and try to jump up to the top of the highest building in Los Santos (I have to "step" from building to building). I think I did it once or twice, when I tried again I just kept falling off.

Ramp Cars
With this cheat code all cars can be easily "ramped" off of.

I like that "Ramp Car" cheat. Every car visible upon impact from head on would boost your ride into the air. That would be awesome.

Some modifications to the cheat, not sure if these would help or hurt it:

*Your car would also be ramp-able by others, mainly police - this could present problems though as the game would sometimes send you flying, or the other car, but the randomness could be cool too, its not realistic, it could be glitchy, possibly sending you underground??? Worth a try though.

I thought of this cheat while riding motorcycles in Driver or GTA, wishing I could ramp them off car trunks, then I figured, we should be able to ramp off any car with any car

Driver Cheat: Super speed beyond what other cars are capable of, in the range of 300 miles per hour. You could lock in the e-brake, rev the engine till the tires start burning, then release the brake and instantly blast off from 0 to 300 mph in 3 seconds, smashing through all traffic and buildings in the way.

Flying Cars
This is a cool cheat I like to mess around with in SA, it'd be cooler if there were other cars flying around for mid-air "physics demonstrations"

Falling Cars
Wacky cheat code from the PSOne Drivers, cars fall from the sky, and when they come to a rest on the ground, they fall from the sky, again

Missile Cars
Lock onto other vehicles while driving, then jump out and you car will seek and destroy!

Lead Foot
For anyone who gets tired of holding the gas button, this cheat would make it always activated, except for when you press the brakes or e-brakes

Walk/Drive Thru Walls
Exactly what it says
