Martin Edmondson on Driv3r: “the strength of criticism took us aback”

DGP: "'With Driver 3 we just didn’t get the on-foot stuff finished, there’s no doubting that. When you look at the game you can tell there were quite a lot of bugs.'"

Great read. I loved Driver 3, even though I thought the on-foot missions sucked. The driving was top-notch and so were the cop chases. I preferred it over Vice City just because of the intense driving.

I hope someday they make a real Driver sequel again. Driver 4 but not having to be rushed. I think now that they are with Ubisoft, they'll give them time to finish.

Indeed, Driv3r was ahead of its time in terms of car physics and damage so it's a pity the on-foot let it down so badly.

I know Driv3r was hated but I liked it. I’d love to see more games like that.

Driv3r, a Twenty Year Reunion

WTMG's Leo Faria: "Was Driv3r one of the first truly overhyped games in history? One of the first games incessantly covered by press pre-launch, only to end up being the complete opposite of what it promised once it finally arrived onto store shelves? It’s worth discussing. Then again, hindsight is 20-20; it’s easy to laugh at the fact it was once touted to be a GTA killer, but there were just half a dozen GTA clones back then, and we didn’t have YouTube or other reliable video players to properly check how a game played before actually buying it. Maybe Driv3r was a victim of its own hype, a troubled project made by people who didn’t want it to be too similar to Grand Theft Auto itself. But it sucked then, and it still sucks now. Not even the rosiest of nostalgia goggles can save this one."

It's a shame they tried to copy GTA, they were terrible at it. If they'd doubled down on making the driving the star they could still be going now.

He did a track guide for Neurnberg 24 in GTsport.

We have had no more content since then, maybe a few time trail modes, I believe there was one from Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstapen as well, due to the red bull partnership.

Back to Lewis, He STILL wears the Gran Turismo logo on his caps, every weekend Formula One races take place.

I was expcting more from this sponsorship, oh well. This video, is kinda rubbing salt into the wound, for me
