Unfortunately "Driver: Parallel Lines" doesn't include any multi player like we thought it would however I was looking in the directory structure and I found a text file which was originally from the xbox release and it includes multiplayer information.

It's very sad that they took it out, hopefully modding can get it back in and to make things easier hopefully we can find more parts of the Multiplayer system and maybe we can connect up the odd pieces.

I hope that some modding can unlock multiplayer, I have it for my Xbox and it would be awesome to play with other people, although it would be odd to see a bunch of other T.K.s running around shooting each other lol. Free run would be the BEST online. Body snatchers could be used to make AWESOME videos!

Each player would probally be a different ingame character, weather it's TK, Candy or just some random pedestrian.

It would be great if Ubisoft Reflections released a patch which added multiplayer back and fixed up a few minor issues within the game.

I belieave DPL would be so much more popular that way and then when they release a budget version of the game they can change to cover to say "New Multiplayer" and then it'll grab the attentoin of more people.

and one thing I always would like is to be able to have 6000 players all in free roam mode roaming around the streets of New York. Wouldn't that be awsome, no AI just real people.

hmm… strange … I think they started making the online feature and then they stopped but the forgot to remove all the things. The Language looks like XML.
And that's strange too:
Code: Select all
<ID>00415</ID><TEXT>Driver 4</TEXT>
Now I'm asking if that has something to do with the next Driver or DPL. Well, in the police station they put Driver 4 for the next Driver and in one of the 1UP interviews with Gareth Edmondson, he's saying 'Driver Parallel Lines is not Driver 4' :?

It might be random people, then again there might have been a 'choose a character' feature somewhere.

The multiplayer feature was programmed before they even had a name for the game so they just called it Driver: 4.

I remember reading some document about Martin Edmondson and when he left reflections interactive they were calling it Driver 4 and this document said he couldn't claim any rights for the game.

So really under the law it's Driver: 4 and for us it's Driver: Parallel Lines.

Woah. That's pretty weird, that must have been done and scrapped earlier in production!

Well that was back in early development stages where they weren't sure of the name yet.

Or...

they may have known the name but didn't want to make it public, it's like releasing the name for the driver they have just started developing.

That's true, it was more likely that.

When I was researching the game before I got it, I found somewhere that said there were many multiplayer options. I was pissed when I got the game and it did not have multiplayer.
