Driver

hi, does anybody know where i can download a playable demo of "DRIVER" ??

Sachsenmaier wrote Wow you are a persistent fellow ;) From what I see there is no demo yet out of this title by GTI Interactive (I think they are the producers). The best thing is to check out their websites. For those who don't know, it's a title that mixes Interstate 76 with MS Midtown Madness, Im looking forward to this for incredible fun, especially since they did the city of Miami AND Los Angeles. And who cares if it's arcade or no, seems one heck of a fun :) -= Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard/Nas-Frank> -= NROS Nascar sanctioned Guide http://www.nros.com/ -= SimRacing Online http://www.simracing.com/ -= Official mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. -= May the Downforce be with you...

The game "Driver" is not out yet. AFAIK John

Speaking of "fun". I think Interstate '76 does a good job on the physics and is fun to boot! When doing drag races I setup my Pinto with a V12, nitro and ol' fatties on the back. It was way *too* much HP for that small car <VBG>

The initial demos for the Playstation are receinving mixed reviews - some people are finding it hellishly hard, while others just love it. The demo is currently available in the UK on the Official Playstation Magazine. -- AG Remove removes to remove anti-spam measures. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alan Gauton + Tel +44 141-548-2686 EEE Department, SPD, + Fax +44 141-552-2487 204 George St., Glasgow G1 1XW+ http://www.spd.eee.strath.ac.uk/users/ag ------------------------------------------------------------------------

I intend to buy the magazine later. :-)

Alan Gauton wrote Do they mean hard because of the complexity of the game engine ? It's something that really made me interested in the title. From back when they had no producer, their preview really focusing on the realism of the car physics, not the eye-candy. If this is true... it's even MORE good news, well for us ;))))) Thanks for the info -= Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard/Nas-Frank> -= NROS Nascar sanctioned Guide http://www.nros.com/ -= SimRacing Online http://www.simracing.com/ -= Official mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. -= May the Downforce be with you...

I've played the demo, and the car handles exactly as you would expect for a 70's gas guzzler - you can swing the tail out, suspension compresses to bounce the car around etc. The hard bit is that the demo is difficult. Some people end the demo in 2 seconds, by hitting a tree and losing sight of your objective (you're following a car), while others can drive for a couple of minutes. The demo *does* look impressive, but unless you can handle the car you'll have problems. Like everything, it'll take practise, but is looking very promising. -- AG Remove removes to remove anti-spam measures. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alan Gauton + Tel +44 141-548-2686 EEE Department, SPD, + Fax +44 141-552-2487 204 George St., Glasgow G1 1XW+ http://www.spd.eee.strath.ac.uk/users/ag ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alan Gauton wrote Wow hey guys read this !!! Thanks Alan for the answer. Wow***MS Midtown Madness, this is what I want ;-) Especially with old cars from the 70's. It's actually nice that some company focus on at the same time the realism of a game engine and at the same time a good set of gameplay. The idea of Driver is great, it's maybe not p.c. but it's a great adrenaline rush I guess. Who didn't have fun here with Interstate'76 ? :) -= Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard/Nas-Frank> -= NROS Nascar sanctioned Guide http://www.nros.com/ -= SimRacing Online http://www.simracing.com/ -= Official mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. -= May the Downforce be with you...

I-76 was pretty fun in multiplayer too until cheats and hackers with outrageously hacked vehicles started showing up. It used to be fun as hell to be chasing someone on some of those cliffside roads with my gold "Jefferson" pimp-wagon and use my nitrous boost to ram them from behind and make them go off the side of the cliff to their death.... ahh what fun :-) Hope I-82 will be just as fun, but more importantly I hope they can somehow prevent the cheats and hacks from ruining the whole online play. Seeyas on the track. --John (Joao) Silva

We might need to start a group for "clean" I-82 games :-) > Hope I-82 will be just as fun, but more importantly I hope they can somehow > prevent the cheats and hacks from ruining the whole online play. > Seeyas on the track. > --John (Joao) Silva -------- Jason Monds "My other car is a Ferrari" http://members.home.net/gpl.mondsj/gpl - For my combined gas/brake setups (Please remove 'no extra spork' when replying)

Hehe a sane I-82 combat driving league, sounds great, I for one will be found racing/fighting I-82 online once it comes out ... from what I hear April or May. Seeyas on the track. --John (Joao) Silva
