Has anyone got this? It's a more in-depth version of the making of the game?

[Moonchild]

I don't own it, but from what I know it just has some annoying guy explaining mission walkthroughs, gameplay tips, vehicle test drives, and city and map sections along with storyboards and little things like that.

It may have a more in-depth version of the making of the game but I doubt it.
Most of it's content can be found on Gametrailers and Youtube

[madness]

I have it, the video on the dvd can easily be found on the internet, well I couldn't find all of it but I'll be uploading it to Driver Madness soon.

The guide does contain lots of interviews with the developer and thing like that. It also includes more "Making of the Game" content within those interviews.

[myblueocean]

So, the bonus video isn't the same quality as the written interviews? And the making of the game content is already on youtube, the one on the PS2 disc as well. That isn't much really. I was thinking a more detailed look at the game. Programming? 3D modelling?

[madness]

Well in the guide it contains lots of different information about modeling but it doesn't go into great detail like it doesn't tell you what programs they used however in the development chat which was held quite a while ago they where saying they used Photoshop and 3DsMax. But I'm sure they use many other different programs those are just for modeling the cities and things like that.

[myblueocean]

I even searched up the Miami artists/ modellers to see if i could contact them...none. Um, to ask how they made the palm trees, etc any other details.

[madness]

I was just looking around and apparently there is an entire dvd not just the dvd on the magazine.

Which I can wait to see and find out if I can buy it.
It's hard to find this older products but hopefully I can find it!

[myblueocean]

Which dvd would that be now? As for the software used, they would of used Max for all 3D models.

[Coyote]

I have it too.

The D3R Official Guide contents:

• Running the Gauntlet - The Movie
• Running the Gauntlet - The Making Of
• Driv3r - The Making Of the Game
• Trailers - Zero PM
Boys from the City
Destiny
C'mon and try
[2 or 3 other Trailers, I forgott their name, it's something with "man" and "dealer" …]
• Slideshow


I bought the DPL Official Guide an I was really disapointed. There is no City Guide and the informatons about cars and guns are not good. It's like sh*t this guide and it's too short.

If you want to have the bonus DVD with making and all those other things, you need the Limited Edition. It's not the collectors edition, its not the same, the limited edition is a alpha or beta version.

However we're here to talk about the Driv3r Official Guide .

[madness]

yeah, well I've been ripping all the content and will soon add it to the Driver Madness download database.

At the moment I already had the following because I found it on the driv3r disk or over the internet.

Driv3r - The Making Of the Game
http://drivermadness.net/main/dload.php ... file_id=88

and the trailers will be uploaded soon!
as well as the rest of the content on the dvd.

[Coyote]

Here you have everything you need I think http://driver-dimension.com/cate-1-Driv3r.html

including the Driver Police (Babylon 5 and Babylon 5 Hollow) that you should also add to the download base

[myblueocean]

So your saying that the bonus isn't dvd with the more in-depth making of the game? Or there isn't one at all...

I have it too.

Apparently you can purchase and I-Guide DVD which is just a dvd nothing else. But I haven't been able to get my hands on one yet!

I'm hoping that i'll find one somewhere but chances are unlikely.

[myblueocean]

Why is that? Amazon, ebay no?

Also nice upload, this version was beta?

[Coyote]

But if you've got the D3R Official Guide you've got automatically the bonus DVD so why do you need one more ?… :S

[myblueocean]

No, apparently some guides do not have one. Sold seperately.

[Coyote]

Okay. But this i really stupid cause in the guide they speak about that DVD and at the front theres like a half-DVD drowed (where the DVD is sticked when you buy it)

[myblueocean]

Ah right I get you, sorta hard to understand what you have said.

[Coyote]

Yeh I know but I simply mean the little details on the guide wich shows that theres a bonus DVD. Maybe the guide is a bit different and they deleted all these details…

[myblueocean]

What does the book mention about the programming? Like the animation of the people in game, or the water?

[Coyote]

No I dont mean the programming, but the DVD. On the Cover of the Guide there's written "With a Bonus DVD - Running the Gaunltet"

So if there's no bonus DVD the people dont understand why this is written…

[myblueocean]

Yeah, but I am talking about the book? There is some kind of book talking about the different parts of the game.

[Coyote]

… wich is called the official Guide. The Official Guide doesnt contains only the game solution, but also a City Guide, Verhicle Informations, Gun Informations, The Making of (to read) etc…

[myblueocean]

Yes, the making of to read?

[Coyote]

Yep ! Content: Driving school (How to driver, how to use the Film director mode,…), Interviews (How to build a Driv3r-Car, How to Build a Driv3r-City, cause and effects,…), Undercover (Each mission with every way to complet it), Free Ride (Secret Car Locaions, Timmys, City Guide for each City with informations for every special house, building, statue, River,…), Driving Games (Where the minigame beginns and with witch car, how to win,…), Informations about very Gun and Vehicle, Making of (with history from Reflections, Interview with Martin Edmondson, "Driver the game - from 1999 to 2004", Interview with Gareth Betts (Atari), The 3 Citys, Vehicles and Storyboard)

[myblueocean]

How to build a Driv3r car? and build a driv3r city?

[Coyote]

Yes, they explain.

[myblueocean]

Anything about the objects in the city?

[Coyote]

um… no… only cars, boats, bikes, buildings and maybe palm trees (lol) or trashcams,…

[myblueocean]

May be I would consider buying this at some point...
