Most people I talk to prefer the PS4 over the Xbox One. What made you choose the One?

More of my friends had Xbox, and it's what I'm used to!

Ahh, okay. I was getting tired of the PS4 crowd myself. It's good to see people trying out other consoles.

Other consoles meaning just the Xbox. :laysmile:

I last played Driv3r on my laptop.

 

[Rick Ace]

What exactly is Driv3r? And is it sold anymore? I can't say that I've heard of it before.

It's a 2005 action-adventure game by Atari. It was released for PS2, Xbox and PC. I have it for the PS2 and recently bought it for the PC. The series originally started out on the PS1 with Driver, back in 1999.

It works in the same way as Grand Theft Auto, but you play as an undercover cop, rather than a villain. Having said that though, you are able to commit crimes and the cops will chase you, etc. This game in particular gives you three cities - Miami, Florida, USA; Nice, France and Istanbul, Turkey.

The graphics are extremely good for the time. Think of GTA IV, playing on the PS2. That's basically what it is, but dare I say a little more refined, not as moody (GTA IV looks dull as hell) and not as violent. The game physics also beat GTA for the time too, since all drivable vehicles can be damaged to a great extent, whereas GTA titles of the same era were more limited in that regard.

Atari did well for the platforms of the time. Driver: Parallel Lines came after (I have that for the PS2 as well), set in New York City, and also in two different eras (1978 and 2006). That game is a much nicer looking NYC than GTA IV, no matter which era you play.

That sounds like a cross between NFS Undercover and GTA 5. Well, set back in the 2000s, haha.

Examples of the graphics. Bear in mind these are obviously from the PC version, but the PS2/Xbox versions are practically identical. Perhaps missing a little aliasing, but that's all.

I should note that you don't play as an undercover cop in Parallel Lines. That was a spin-off, but it was a good game.

Driv3r (Nice)
Driver: Parallel Lines (1978 era NYC)

Why the hell would anyone want to go back to the 1978 era New York? Full of gangs and criminals. :O

Which is what you play as in that particular game. The gap between the two eras (1978-2006) is part of the storyline where he's caught and jailed.

I had the original Driver on PS1, great game.

I did have Driver, but a friend "borrowed" it back in elementary. Haven't seen it since.

I still have Driver 2 though.

 

[Maxxamillion]

Minecraft, but the game i really played properly was the last of us that game is just insane

 

[DylRicho]

I'm going to play Driv3r in a little while to hopefully keep my mood up in the clouds.

Last game I finished was Tomb Raider for the Xbox One (which is totally gnarly, so you should check it out if you haven't played it yet).

Last game I played was WWE 2K14 on the Xbox 360.

 

[Rihtar]

Last game I've finished was Bioshock: Infinite about a week ago (great game, horrible ending) and the last game I've played was The Witcher Adventure Game (beta) with @JLogan.

 

[alphaguild]

The last game I played was Need for Speed Rivals on PS4. The game is a disappointment compared to the others in it's series. Can't wait for Driveclub to come out!

 

[Jamie1]

Destiny

 

[xTinx]

What was the last video game you played? (I can't believe not one video game thread has been posted!)

Minecraft on the 360 like a week ago.

I played Street Fighter over at the arcade and almost broke my fingers in the process. People have various concerns these days so perhaps that explains why hardly anyone gave a thought about video games. Since this Web Guru, most people discuss SEO and web-related issues and then random topics like this get general-zoned.

Most recent game I played this week was Diablo III and the Sims 4. I often also play Aion, The Sims 3, and SimCity.
