Did you ever play Driver: San Francisco? Never beat it myself because I sucked at cornering, but it was a clever game, with some really fun mechanics, a great mid-game twist, and hilarious writing.

Well, just gotta record the footage of the last two missions. Hopefully won't take too many days.

One more extra before I upload the last few missions. Now, recent LEGO games have contained driving mechanics and even driving missions! So I thought I'd show off my favorite mission to compare it with Driver.

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and so we reach the final update. 14. True Romance 15. The Driver Oh, and the cheat codes, of course: Cheat Codes

I like how the President compliments your driving skills when you've been flipped up in the air, or how calm he seems when you've got every cop, federal agent and gangster hitman on your tail the entire time. Good to know that the mission is legitimately that hard though and it's not just me being bad at games.

You spend most of the mission getting your poo poo kicked in, so I'm not sure if his compliments are sarcastic.

I am sure a bad enough dude doesn't care either way. That mission was bullshit and the game wasn't made to handle it.

Driver 2 and Driv3r's missions are a lot more carefully designed, in addition to being more creative. Parallel Lines is decent but it's a ton easier.

Yep - over 15 years later that last mission is exactly as I remember it. A friend and I had been taking turns trying to beat it for hours before we finally got lucky and had the car rammed sideways into that alcove of bullshit at the end. After that we watched the credits and never touched this game again.

And so Tanner quits the police force, goes on a vigilante rampage against the New York City mafia as depicted in Driver Renegade 3D and then eventually gets recruited by the FBI for Driver 2.

I think Driver 2 through San Fran are probably a different take on Tanner entirely. Like, in Driver 2 through San Fran, it's thematically relevant that Tanner is a ruthless psychopath. In the original Driver it's just incidental.

So are you going to do Driver 2? I would absolutely love to see it again, but I don't really have the strength to replay it myself. I remember it to be generally a lot more painful than the first one, final mission aside.

There are actually two different versions of Driver San Francisco. The Wii version actually serves as a prequel to Driver 1 but its plot has more to do with Driver 2 more than anything. Chronologically, the series goes San Fran (Wii) - Driver - Driver Renegade 3D - Driver 2 - Driv3r - San Fran (360, PS3, PC, OSX). Driver 76 on PSP is a prequel to Parallel Lines but I've no idea if those two games are even set in the same universe as the games starring Tanner.

Caught up with this and just gotta say it was a huge wave of nostalgia rolling through my brain I never beat the game as a kid, or even played the story mode much, but I played the poo poo out of free roam - I do remember curiously rooting around in the game's files and finding out I could open the cutscenes in Media Player, though, and of course I skipped right to the end... so hearing YOU CAN GET YOUR BADGE BACK TANNER brought an entire wave of memories back also nice driving, son

I just could not finish that last mission without cheating at all... But on another matter, does the Playstation version not contain the ability to take the Jaguar on a ride around Newcastle? I seem to recall this was somehow unlockable in the PC version (which is the only one I played). Also, are you planning on doing the other games in the series, I would be very much interested in seeing Driver 2 and 3 (sorry, Drv3r I mean) since I never played those (actually the only ones I've played are the first game and San Francisco which was pretty decent actually).

Shame I can't record the hilariousness that is Renegade. Driver 76 was a prequel to Parallel Lines chronologically, but... it was basically just a copypaste of Parallel Lines for the PSP. M.Ciaster posted:Caught up with this and just gotta say it was a huge wave of nostalgia rolling through my brain I'm glad I could bring back some of your memories, good or otherwise. ivantod posted:I just could not finish that last mission without cheating at all... That's correct, you could only drive around Newcastle in the PC version. I am planning to play Driver 2, Driv3r, and Parallel Lines at some point in the future, but I'm most excited for Driv3r. In spite of its incredibly vicious reception, it's got my second favorite story and my second favorite missions of the whole series.

Is there a mission in GTA3 where you have to kill a driver named Tanner? Where would that figure in the timeline if that was canon?

Is the music in the first mission of video 14 a scaled down version of this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5r4eUgPgOM Who was anyone and just what happened in the story? What was the point of Miami and San Fran and such? Croccers fucked around with this message at 22:15 on Jun 3, 2016 |

Then he saved the president.

The whole thing about Tanner being an undercover cop was apparently a really late addition to the game and originally he was supposed to be an actual criminal, so I'm not too surprised that the storyline is a bit hard to follow. The change was seemingly made so late that some reviews that used pre-release builds never mentioned Tanner being a cop. Or even his name or anything else about the story, for that matter.
