Driver, in-car view

Hello, I tried to search for this question on www.deja.com before asking here, but I couldn't find anything. Is there a in-car view in Driver ? I really can't relate to drive a car looking at it from behind. Thanks for any answer -- Olav K. Malmin remove spam when replying

Yes there is. If you go to the options you'll see the joystick mapping screen. Change the viewchange to a button and that's it. <martin>

It is a bonnet view rather than true in-car BTW Tony

There is a 'behind the car' view, a 'bonnet' view and a 'road only' view. The first is most playable, because the second becomes unplayable after 1 accident (you can't see the road anymore because the view os blocked by the messed up hood) and the third is MUCH too close too the ground (as if you are a little mouse). So their is definitely NO real in-car view with a dashboard and so on.

The 'bonnet' being the hood of the car, for any non-Euro readers ;)

Great question!! I was at Electronics Boutique this weekend (while picking up AOE2) and was looking at the Driver box, and none of the screenshots showed any in-car views so I didn't bother picking it up, no auto sims without ***pit views for me. So I was wondering the same thing. Also if anyone has picked up Driver and played I76, how does it compare? I76 was a favorite of mine, and reading the driver box, Driver looked like a similar story driven (excuse the pun) auto sim. Might still pick this one up if it turns out to have***pit view.

As you've probably read in other posts, no, there is no real***pit view. I was also annoyed by this when I tried the demo - in every other driving game/sim I just can't get a decent feel for the car behaviour unless I'm "inside" and my lap times are even worse than usual <g>. However in Driver I quickly got used to the chase view. This is probably partly due to the simplistic steering control, but mostly due to the fun of watching the over-the-top antics of your car powersliding, bouncing off the roofs of other vehicles, etc. I also played I76 and enjoyed it more than Driver. It had stronger characterizations and storyline. Despite the cut scenes in Driver trying to make the storyline sound very dramatic, the driving action of both your car and the cops is hilarious. (OK, I'm easily amused.) That's why I always think "Blues Brothers" when I play it. ...207

Thanks bean I'll give the demo a look. I'm looking forward to I82 hopefully it will be out for X-Mas. I76 online was a blast until people figured how to cheat the damage and drive the tanks and all.

Yes I think I agree, I dowloaded the Driver demo to get a feel and it seems pretty fun, the action of the car looks pretty good even from behind and the hood view is not so bad, I really wish I could get a***pit view with gauges etc. but the hood view will do for now, I'll play with the demo for a few days and see if it peaks my interest enough to buy the full one. You're not the only one easily amused by I76 I guess :-) I76 was a classic for me too, that storyline was great with Taurus' comments and the dumb comments by scooter or whatever his name was. Also done very stylish overall feel to the artwork. The driving model was just realistic enough to keep my interest and of course who has never wished they had machine guns and rocket launchers mounted on their hood or roof when dealing with a particularly *** other driver. Very fun. Seeyas on the track. --John (Joao) Silva GPL Ferrari driver. Powerslide Racing Team - GMSS League F1 division. Rossi Razzi Racing Team - IGPLC League F2 division.

Yeah, very dissapointing. It's an arcade like view, with no dash or anything :( -Larry >It is a bonnet view rather than true in-car BTW >Tony >> > >Is there a in-car view in Driver ? I really can't relate to drive a car
