It almost took him 2 years to make another trailer.

It looks kinda an americanised version of Initial D. A fat american guy driving japansese ricers. He reminds me a lot of Diaz from GTA III: Vice City

“When I left Reflections, it wasn’t without some regret, because of what we’d all achieved together,” he said. “I had very strong emotional ties to the studio. I was very proud of Driver: San Francisco, and the team did an amazing job. But in the end I made the personal decision that it was time for something new.”

It's an old article but i found it interesting: LINK

Damn we lost a lot.....I doubt Grover will return....so much for modding DSF.

At 28 years old, Scullion has recently stepped up to a lead designer role, and is currently at work on yet-to-be-revealed original IP for a new Kinect game at Newcastle studio Ubisoft Reflections. Having proved his talent and hard work ethic throughout the development of the Driver: San Francisco project, Scullion has emerged as one of the most capable and devoted members of a studio brimming with youthful development talent.

So how was everyone's Christmas?

[RacingFreak]

Old skool times never die. I've reborn the dead MCO project and right now I am working into making it accessable for the community ^^

Going to do some videos soon to see the beauty of the best NFS title ever.

Christmas was good. Got some good presents, plenty of candy and got to spend time with the family. Quite relaxing.

Awesome....
However, delete the faggot Eclipse and Supra.
Also, my Christmas was good, even though I had a terrible cold.

My Christmas and new year was quite good, i got a cold over christmas but oh well. Although on Friday my cars engine had a massive failure, i had to get it towed to a repair shop where it will get diagnosed today.

[PostalDude]

i am sure he will, dont worry.

I hope....does anyone have his email? Could send him one informing him that DM is back up.

[bb_42001]

Yesterday (25 01 2012) in all the biggest cities in Poland there were protests against ACTA. I was there too.
We are against the censorship too! Stop comunism in the Internet! Freedom of speech!

Polish people in Wroclaw were screaming:
" Freedom of speech in the Internet!"
" Robbers! "
" Hop hop hop - who's not jumping, supports ACTA! "
" Donald Tusk (Polish prime minister) - where is your brain? "
" Donald, you idiot, where you will download porn from? " - it was quite funny
" No to ACTA! "
" Go away with comunism! "
" You are messing with millions! "
" Referendum "

At the end - we sung Polish national anthem.
At the end of the relation there are photos of banners:
" Censorship insult me "
" Not the people should be afraid of the goverment - the goverment should be afraid of the people "
" Don't touch Internet, not clever people " (with intended mistakes)
" Referendum proposal "

[bb_42001]

you know australia tried to do something like this about a year ago, it never worked out, granted the australian one was no where near as bad.


Also did you guys realise Driver Madness is now 6 years old.

[max.thunder]

I'm proud of poles, here in spain seems that people don't know about the real consequences of ACTA.

Polish lawmakers protest ACTA

[Clutch]

I'm not very familiar with any political news, but I suppose it's parliamentary opposition. I know, that it isn't very powerful recently... however our current prime minister has problems with people support - at his time he did some bad restrictions for football fans (i don't remember exactly how), raised VAT tax (from 22 to 23% of base price of products) and raised fuel prices. And now - ACTA... He is dumb... When I talk with people, I say them that I'm sorry, because I voted for him.

These raises are very bad for Poles' wallets. Average Pole don't earn too much money... Right, when we convert currency, it looks that in Poland there are very low prices. However - our earnings aren't high too...
For British standards average Polish earnings are like very deep poverty...

Donald Tusk, where is your brain?

[Sedans]

damn. looks like dis place is dead fa real. I'on see anyone i recognize other than BB..

[cleone]

damn. looks like dis place is dead fa real. I'on see anyone i recognize other than BB..

welcome back Sedans!

[Sedans]

wassup. wat other old timers still log in here..? Nick still around..?

[Fireboyd78]

Yeah, Nick is still around. But there hasn't been much activity from anyone, sadly. I think the MOST activity we get is over at the Driver Modifying forum

It's awesome to see you again!

[Sedans]

damn.. dats a shame.

seems like this forums golden age is GONE fa real.

feels like just yesterday i was making the transition from atari forums to over here when they said they were closing their driver section.

at one point in time, this forum had a lot of active members, you could come on here any time of any day and find at least a few people to talk to.. i think the hope and hype for a cold new driver game kept this place really pumping.. when the hype died down, so did the forum.. but i never expected it to die out this much.

and with the latest big name driver game not bringing really anyone here.. it only feels like this place will just continue to die out more and more..

now its all n00bs who appear not to really socialize but spend lots of time moddin n sh*t

i honestly forgot all about this website. after i kept coming back and dissapearing i got banned and its prolly been a more than a year since i last logged in here.

but its good to see theres still some old timers.

[Sedans]

and to put it in perspective, i joined atari forums early 2003.. katrina hit in 2005, and shortly after AF was no more, came here shortly after, had it good for about a year or two. 2012 and this place feels like a ghost town.

I would like that someday we will overcome this: "Most users ever online was 45 on Sun Aug 19, 2007 8:59 am"

Better have hope than nothing. Maybe we need to promote this site more, don't know, we need to talk about some suggestions to improve that.
