I dunno... I have trouble getting excited about Driver after GTA3. Even the Getaway didn't amuse me much. It seems kinda... unnecessary.

It's about fashion. Driver started this genre (3D free driving, I mean), the other ones copied and improved it adding the freedom of movement out of the car, and now Driver copies them, including the possibilty of getting out of the car, entering buildings and killing everybody just for the heck of it... At least Stuntman was an original idea...

I really doubt they started the genre of 3d free driving. Maybe one of the first ones to become popular.

But wow some of these shots look like they are straight out of Vice City. Its about fashion?

Well, if they can imrpove on the Free-roaming Criminal genre, then I'm all for it. Given Reflection's track record though, I don't have high hopes. Don't get me wrong, they're a talented group of people. It's just that they seem to suffer from that all too common difficultly of realizing their ambition within the video game medium.

heh... As for The Getaway, that game would have been better if I would have been on the development team giving advice such as...
"It's a game, not a movie! Stop trying to make it a moive!"
"Give the players a HUD! Getting lost in London for the 50th time because you did't give them a map isn't fun!"
"The player needs to move faster than a 50-year old man with rickets!"

Edit: Clean up.

It could be worse. It could be the tank from Hitman 2.

They didn't, Felony 11-79 was something like that and much much older.

It all depends on what angle you look at it from. If you're only looking at 3D Free-roaming driving games that that have you running jobs for criminal organizations, then Driver is the first that I can think of.
If you're just looking at 3D Free-roaming driving games in general though, it most definately isn't the first. Anyone else out there remember Vet?

Edit: D'oh... Looks like Rid made this post unnecessary before I even finished it.

Well, I meant at a popular level, of course.
This kind of games started developing/appearing after driver & both the first GTA, which I forgot before (oops)... BTW, Were they 2D, or a simple 3D engine, but with 2D gameplay? Can't recall now...
