Looking pretty tasty right now.
Could be a winner, or could fall flat on it's face - we just don't know.
Thoughts?

It's been scheduled for Spring 2004 for months now.
Reflections have always had it down as 'Spring 2004', and not 'Christmas 2003', as some of you made up, while trying to hype yourself up for the game, along with everyone else.
Bah, I want. Maybe.

Yeah they do look good, have to wait for more pics to see if i'll buy it when it comes out.
I have always loved the driver series. The mix of plot and awesome car physics was always the most important aspects. Yet, with the development and experience of the PS2 the new game should be a step into virtual driving heaven. The screens look awesome but the game can't satand on that alone. The handling, storyline and 'out of car' options should be more advanced. I've been dying for tyhis game since the groovy trailer on the Stuntman DVD extras. The cities look 'da bomb' and the old style western guitar riffs are still there. CANT WAIT!
No, don't know release date, anyone else???
I loved the alleys and how you could drive down them and escape from the cops, crashing through all the boxes and tables etc. That was class.
Should rock, but could be too late as GTA:VC has been and gone along with The Getaway.. Could the genre have lost its pizzaz...
...
No way, bring on the guns, cars, crime and violence...

I must admit the screens do look tasty, does anyone no when it is out?
I used to lover Driver.
But stopped playing it when the PS2 arrived.. one day, I got bored with all the PS2 games and went back to playing Driver, but put it in the PS2.. massive shock when I saw the graphics.. ICK! Looked like everything was 'ripped' to pieces.
I'm so thankful for the PS2 graphics compared to the PS1!! :D

The best bit in Driver was the hub-caps rolling off along side your car.
Beautiful.
Screen's aren't always everything. Dissapointment lurks around every gaming corner - they could be actual in-game shots, ones form CG scenes or even fakes kncoked up on the 'puter.
Or, they could be real, which is good.
But the actual game could be crap, which is what really matters, and it has a lot of competition these days - VC, Getaway, True Crimes.
Hopefully he'll run properly, not like someone's lodged a splintery telegraph-pole up his bootang.
And guns, o' course

'Supreme' might be a better word given the context.
Best thing about the Driver series was the cars' handling, it was nigh on perfect, the way the car bounced when you edged a kerb, the way it floated on its suspension, the way you could powerslide and handbrake turn and control skids, all of it was perfect.
Which, when you think about it, is probably the most important factor if you're making a game with the word 'Driver' in the title.
So really screenshots are negligible at this stage, we need to play it to get any idea what it's going to be like.
*Sits back for 9 months and waits for the demo disc*
