And there was nothing wrong with the game it could have been perfectly "G" rated, it just had to many violent cars which just crash into each other. Which makes me wonder how DRIV3R only got an "M".hey...hey...wo...wo...hey burnout 3 is rated t i know i gots it

G - anyone can buy these
G8+ anyone can buy these - Just recommended for years 8 and over
m15+ anyone can buy these just reccomended for 15 years and over
ma15+ you must be 15 years or older to buy these, a parent can buy it and you can still easily play it.
r18+ you must be over 18 years of age to purchase and view this although you can still play if and it dosent really matter but you can't buy them. NOTE: r18 rating only exsists in australia on movies, games with this rating are permiently banned.

Moonchild wrote:1. I'm fine with alot of cars but why boats, planes, helicopters, and trains. Tanner woudn't know how to use them and those additions would take away what Driver is really about, DRIVING Plus, the environments in Driver don't really lend them selves well to planes, boats, and trains. It's mostly a city game.Well, perhaps not every vehicle over land, sea and air but at least i think that motorboats, would make a fine adition to the game, specially in Miami where you could emulate Sonny Crockett and Rico Tubbs.
Moonchild wrote:2. Depends which state/region. this also depends on whether the story will be non-linear (first 3 Driver's) or open world (like DPL) If it's non-linear than no because the game would be split up into various cities so game connectivity would be weird. If it's like DPL then I woudn't mind a countryside with lost of hills and long winding roads and such.Yeah it's a big dilemma with no easy solution.
Moonchild wrote:3. No thanks, I don't like the Sims, money should be for buying/customizing cars and guns, that's it.Ok, perhaps the eat thing is more than enough but at least, the buying new flats, mansions... etc gives you the feeling that you're progressing into something and you're making richer.
Moonchild wrote:4. If the story has Tanner being a cop than yes, if your a criminal like TK than no. Let's be honest, how many time would you want to driver "legally" if your a criminalI haven't drived legally beeing a criminal simply because it was nearly impossible, but it would be very handy in missions where there's no need to run and you don't need to attract the attention of the police.
Moonchild wrote:8. That's a good idea, basicallly like DPL, but screw the karma thing. We don't need Driver being compared to the True Crime series.Yeah well perhaps the karma is excessive.
Moonchild wrote:10. Useless, Driver is about great physics so the drive is always the best part.Yes but not always, and it may be useless because you will use it only a couple of times at the beginning of the game due to the effect of the curiosity, but those small details make a difference in the game critics (which is something that driver needs urgently specially after D3)
Moonchild wrote:11. Maybe, with FMV's that would be a problem. Most likely though, just give Tanner 2 different outfits.And why not make the FMVs with ingame graphics.. and problem solved.
Moonchild wrote:Driver should try and destinguish itself from it's competitors. If GTA IV screws up, Driver can copy some things but if IV succedes than no matter what Driver does, it will be labeled as nothing more than a clone s it needs to be different.About this i've been thinking.... do you imagine what would have happened if Driver parallel was released before GTA SA???? it would have received better critics, and it would have been more famous.

TA-KO wrote:Ok, perhaps the eat thing is more than enough but at least, the buying new flats, mansions... etc gives you the feeling that you're progressing into something and you're making richer.If your playing as Tanner, the question is this, where would he get the money to buy a mansion. Have you ever played Scarface: The World Is Yours? That game has the whole buy alot of stuff but after a while your just buying all this crap that you don't care about/don't need. If there will be a buying system than I think it should be what a real cop/wheelman needs.
TA-KO wrote:"I haven't drived legally beeing a criminal simply because it was nearly impossible, but it would be very handy in missions where there's no need to run and you don't need to attract the attention of the police."Driver on the PC had the cruise control button which let you drive safe but logically speaking coudn't you just keep tapping the acceleration button/key to achieve the same thing. It's the player's choice if he wants to speed.
TA-KO wrote:but those small details make a difference in the game critics (which is something that driver needs urgently specially after D3)Your right there, the series needs all the positive reviews that it can get from the media...
TA-KO wrote:And why not make the FMVs with ingame graphics.. and problem solved.Gotta disagree with you there. Did you see the in-game graphic cutscenes in Driv3r and DPL, they were worse than the GTA series. If you use in-game graphics for cutscenes than their not FMV's, plus Driver uses the FMV's to get that cool high production movie feel so I'd rather sacrifice alternate costumes for cinematic quality.
TA-KO wrote:About this i've been thinking.... do you imagine what would have happened if Driver parallel was released before GTA SA???? it would have received better critics, and it would have been more famous.I've been thinking about that too, DPL probally would have been recieved better (both in terms of reviews and sales) but I got an even better one for you, what if Reflections had not done Stuntman, instead they could have used that time to refine and polish Driv3r and the game would have released sooner too. So many "what if's" Though, I believe that Driver 4 will be a hit for both gamers and critics.

Mainly because it was rated only M15+ here when our worst rating is MA15+ and our r18+ games rating dosent exsist because the goverment dosent let in true 18+ games. Like a few games i've wanted to purchase like "Postal 2" and "Manhunt".madness wrote:Anyone ever played burnout, I played "burnout 3" and "burnout revenge" and it had a "M" rating.

Which makes me wonder how DRIV3R only got an "M".sometimes its r18 here in NZ. (parallel lines always is). Burout 3 is a great game! I'd love to see a PC version.

New orleans is a lively citya and Im proud to be from there, dispite the murder rate of atleast 2 people every night in certain wards.
