Driver Madness

I guess that it would be cool if the next Driver uses the Unreal Engine (specially the third version). It's a really famous and popular game engine. A lot of big companies ike EA, Ubisoft and THQ uses it. It's even used for Educational and CG movies.

Some of the games that uses Unreal Engine 3:

The Wheelman (PS3, X360, PC), Midway



Medal of Honor: Airbone (PS3, X360, PC), Electronic Arts



Gears of War 2 (X360), Epic Games



Now, imagine Driver with an engine like this?

These engines don't give reflections the control they want over the game.
Although it is a big time saver as they wouldn't need to develop their own engine.

The good positive thing is that the game would easily be mod-able if it were designed with this engine.

and I read that it would cost reflections $8000 for the software to develop games with this engine (per developer).

Wow! I thought that for the fact that Ubi have a license for this engine, they wouldn't spend to much on it

It's not a bad idea!
It would save them so much money on development costs.
But it'll be amazing what they can come up with. The Driver: Parallel Lines engine was pretty amazing the fact so many fairly high detailed cars could be handeled on teh screen at once.

First I'd like to see what Reflections can do, if they spend a lot of time on it they can build onto it in future games rather than start again like they had to do with Driver: Parallel Lines. Since no one liked the driv3r engine.

Maybe the physics engine which was really good (and pulled from stuntman which made good use of the engine.

I didn't find DRIV3R's engine that bad. It was really realistic. Even more than DPL. Of course that it had it's problems due to some bugs and etc, but it was fun.

The DPL's engine was certainly a huge inprovement over D3's one. It had better physics sometimes. It had a better draw distance, with more objects on screen.

I just want to know what Reflections will do with the next Driver. I'm just thinking in how realistic the game will be.

it will be very interesting to see!

Oh yeah, Indeed it will. We just need something official by Ubisoft.

well that wont happen anytime soon

Agreed. But it's just a matter of time until we get some news.

fingers crossed for director mode

And for the return of Tanner and Jericho.

i think so, as there were clues of it in DPL

Oh yeah, I remember them. Specially the "Driver-4" in the Police Station.

yep, also why are you a hidden user?

I don't know. Probably because I like to be a "hidden" someone.

it funny as we alol know its you.. i think they should make a gore version of driver

Oh yeah. Everybody know that it's me. Gore version of Driver? Sounds funny, but at the same time interesting...

Just because EA is big,doesn't mean they are good.EA sucks ass.
