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

TOCA Race Driver screens looked sweet too and look what happened there... ever since then I don't trust screenshots, I need a demo before I can say good or bad about a game.
Overall though, the locations look 'interesting' and 'full of possibilities'. If the gameplay is the same as Driver 1 I'll buy it.

That's asking a bit much, isn't it?

The screens may look pretty sweet, but its how the game handles is what will influence me into buying it. The camera has to have good angles of view, and an optional targeting aim system similar to Vice City would also be good. Even if it didnt have this stuff I still might buy it, I'll just keep an eye out for reviews in September/October.
Now im gunna have 2 disagree with the R guy coz if it's the same as Vc then it's gunna b borin .plus it should have more alleys like the old ones and amazing cop chases and u can't avoid the bridge that lifts up and down.
Vice city werent borin, but driver was more original. I agree with you on the bridge and the cop chases thing, because they were supremo. (Is that a word?)
'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.

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

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

I must admit the screens do look tasty, does anyone no when it is out?
