your so right 10000000000%

Both in Driver: Parallel Lines and in DRIV3R there are cops shooting at you, and they kind of over shoot at you. I'd suggest removing the cops ability to use firepower as much as they do. Because they are the ones destroying my ride, NOT my driving.

yeah i agree

Driver Parallel Lines needs:

a multiplayer mode
boas, planes, helicopters (all of them customizable)
jumping
swiming (under the water too)
more car customization
more music
less 2006 era if possible not at all
more guns and bigger (take the rocket launcher example: the one from 78 you'd say it's a shotgun, and the one from 06 it's more like a pistol)
more cars
bigger city (not that i don't spend more time moving around from a mission to another than the mission itself but you know what they say, the bigger the better )
car textures from night time should be in day time too
more realistic damage (similar to the one in RIV3R, if even better )

I am sick of these ridiculous suggestions.

I am sick of a focus being on not driving but shooting and on foot missions.

I am sick of customisation

I hate different time settings

I am sick of there not being Tanner.

I am sick of terrible animations

and Finally I am sick of there being no Film Director mode.

Ubisoft take heed, and stop making GTA clones, let driver get abck to it's roots.

Crack smoker for sure... Why would anybody not want vehicle customization in a car game? It's a standard nowadays for ALL driving games. And it BETTER be in ALL future Driver games. Plus, "Abck" is not a word in the English language. So you lose 1b003g0676. Ha ha!

I am sick of these ridiculous suggestions.

agreed, some suggestions do seem a little over the top.

I am sick of a focus being on not driving but shooting and on foot missions.

well the games are still fairly focused on driving, but do contain about 15% on foot action. I think they should decrease that to about >2% on foot with weapons and because we don't want to feel restricted within an open-ended world.

I am sick of customization

well customization adds to the game, it's good to be able to make your car look different. But it's not essiencal.

I hate different time settings
Having both *78 and *06 was great a little action for those oldies who perfered the 70s style and those who prefer more serious action within present day.

I am sick of there not being Tanner.
Yeah, tanner was great. But It was probably time for a change and TK was a fairly solid character.

I am sick of terrible animations
Well the in-game animations are fairly bad, but the rendered animations are awesome. It kind of shows you whats in store for the next generation driver and next generation you'll probably be able to get the quality of the intro driv3r render. =D

and Finally I am sick of there being no Film Director mode.

Yeah, film director was awesome. Very awesome.
Very sad to see it go, but really without the film director the developers had more control over AI and Graphics eg. Draw Distance. So removing the film director left enough processing power for drawing more trees, lamp posts, picket fences while your driving around the city. It also allowed more vehicles within the streets and smarter cops and traffic. With next generation technology the film director will be possible however there will still be a big limit on AI compared to other games that don't have replay functionality.

you could say grand trismo has a good replay feature, but you must remember that there are very few items drawn on the screen at one particular time.

Usually there are about 6 cars, and six seperate buildings and a few cones. Driver: Parallel Lines was able to achieve hundreds of picket fences along with hundreds of buildings and about 12 cars on the screen at once all with fairly smart AI.

Ubisoft take heed, and stop making GTA clones, let driver get abck to it's roots.

Yeah, well there not really gta clones now anyrate. What is a gta clone well it's exactly a gta game with no difference.

A clone is a copy of something, so if I burn a copy of it I cloned it, this is not the case with Driver or any other games which are similar to gta.

agreed driverman2006

Abck is word, if you type too fast


Customisation actually I was a bit harsh on, but I hate over the top aesthetic cutosmisation. I hope we get in-depth performance customisation, that would be awesome. And then some aesthetic customisation.


I will say aswell i was wrong about the GTA clone thing. But they are tryign too hard to be like GTA. Developers shoudl stop tryign to be so careful. They should be innovative and thick about an objective gameplay innovation. Surely it being called driver, it should be driving.

The on foot can be extremely clumsy visceral running (slow and vulnerable) and shooting with Gear of War/ Kill.Switch style cover system. So that the car can be used as cover.

But shooting should be mainly from the car- much cooler.

Have no fear Driver fans, we are reading these forums and making necesary changes, you won't be dissapointed!

Do you work for Ubisoft or Reflections? If you do, then I think God is giving me a miracle!

In general DPL is a huge improvement over DRIV3R. The car physics is, well, unPARALLELED, lol!
For me although I just got the game, it looks like the mission scripting is the same-old same-old frantic "flat out point to pont beat the clock" stuff as before. This is how REFLECTIONS forces game-time, by the "repeat until successful" method. Of course, this is all some players require.
I'd like to see some different types of missions.
There's nothing like having choices!
I want to have mouselook while in-car. The current in-car viewing system is severely restricted.
I'd like to be able to set a user-default chase view.
Must be able to jump, climb and swim.
User defined save points so you can retry certain missions if you want. Sometimes I don't have time to complete missions successfuly and have to keep starting over but this is probably another underhanded trick to force gameplay time.
I'm not taking sides on the DRIVER/GTAx debate.

Yes I work for Reflections.

ALRIGHT! Would you like to tell us your name? Maybe you're in the credits of previous Driver games.

More things that I am sick of in Driver games:
No train riding or driving (all Drivers, except you can ride trains in Driv3r)
No bad weather (D:PL)
Riding Shotgun missions (Drivers 3, 76 and PL)
No on foot action (Driver 1)
Geography innaccuracies (D:PL and 76)
Burnout Button seperate from accelerator (Drivers 1-3)
Poor vehicle control mappings (Drivers 1-3)
Poor on foot control mappings (Drivers 2, 76, and PL)
No flyable aircraft (All Drivers)
No drivable boats (All except for Driv3r)

That's all for now.

I'm James Frumpleberg, new addition to the Reflections staff since the last game.

Cool! We've always wanted to get into conversations with Reflections employees! And now it's here! Hey Jim, do you live in England? Because the HQ is in Newcastle. And when you mean "Last" game, do you mean Driver: Parallel Lines, Driver 76, or both?

i hated how none of the cool vehciles actually do anything. like the fire truck dosnt shoot water. and the tank cant destory buildigs?
