Driver San Francisco: Difference between revisions

Line 5:

* [[Arc Words]]:"Your eyes on the city".

* [[AcCENT Upon the Wrong SylLABle]]: No one in the game can properly pronounce [~~http://en.~~wikipedia~~.org/wiki/Marin_County~~,~~_California~~ "Marin".]

* [[AcCENT Upon the Wrong SylLABle]]: No one in the game can properly pronounce [[wikipedia:Marin County, California|"Marin".]]

* [[Badass Beard]]

* [[Badass Driver]]

Line 11:

* [[Car Chase]]: The series' bread and butter.

* [[Car Fu]]: Half the time will be spent [[Destructive Saviour|driving semis into]] [[Heroic Comedic Sociopath|oncoming traffic to stop a street race.]]

** In the game's climax [[Big Bad]] Jericho will {{spoiler|throw cars at Tanner}}. Since it's [[All Just a Dream]], [[Eleventh Hour Superpower|Tanner can, too.]]

** In the game's climax [[Big Bad]] Jericho will {{spoiler|throw cars at Tanner}}. Since it's [[All Just a Dream]], [[Eleventh-Hour Superpower|Tanner can, too.]]

** Team Race being a hard one to win? Just smash the opponents into retirement. To be fair, opponents in these races are (almost) [[Made of Indestructium]] and sometimes even a Haulier might not stop one.

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muhgbVLG8Eg BUSSIN] Brutally Unfair Strategy Showcases Ingenuity Nicely. A title that would make the title writer of [[Codename Kids Next Door|KND]] proud.

Line 22:

* [[Dying Dream]]: ''San Francisco'' takes place mostly within Tanner's coma dream.

* [[Easter Egg]]: Driving the {{spoiler|1=1983 DeLorean DMC-12}} at 88 mph unlocks {{spoiler|the garage training level from the first Driver game as a special mission. (This particular car was the time machine in [[Back to The Future]], and the special mission is appropriately named "Blast from the Past.}}

* [[Eleventh Hour Superpower]]: The ability to {{spoiler|throw cars at Jericho's}} RAM SRT-10 during the climax.

* [[Eleventh-Hour Superpower]]: The ability to {{spoiler|throw cars at Jericho's}} RAM SRT-10 during the climax.

* [[Fragile Speedster]]: Any of the sports cars in the game are easily (nearly) totaled at high speed, but the most fragile example can be the Alfa Romeo Guilia TZ2.

* [[Improbably Cool Car]]: You can find some incredibly rare cars just casually cruising the streets of SF, including 1960s Italian racing cars with production runs barely out of single digits.

Line 33:

* [[Mighty Glacier]]: Anything that's a Van Dourn, Dykemann, Camion and Caisson would count. Pick ups like Ford F-150/350's also count but to a lesser extent.

* [[Mind Control]]: Tanner's "shifting" powers basically amount to this.

* [[New Game ~~Plus~~]]: Which allows you to still fully explore San Francisco with no red barriers (aside from a certain mission which was meant to stop due to a boundry at that point), keep unlocks, abilities and WP points after the start of chapter 1 (which skipped the introduction to garages, dares and challenges).

* [[New Game+]]: Which allows you to still fully explore San Francisco with no red barriers (aside from a certain mission which was meant to stop due to a boundry at that point), keep unlocks, abilities and WP points after the start of chapter 1 (which skipped the introduction to garages, dares and challenges).

* [[New York City Cops]]: Tanner is an NYPD detective.

* [[Noodle Incident]]: Several...

Line 48:

* [[Rubber Band AI]]: (?) If a cop falls far enough behind you, it goes into what fans call "doublespeed", [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|gaining double the normal top speed in order to catch up]].

* [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right]]: Two cops, one of them you control, smash over 10,000 dollars worth of fake medication despite not having a warrent to do so, thus becoming vigilante's once they lose their badges. Tanner prefers "freelance crime fighters" better.

* [[Shout Out]]: The tutorial in the first game is lifted directly from a similar scene in ''The Driver'', where the main character proves his skills to some gangsters in a parking garage. Which was then ported as a special challenge in this game.

** Same goes for the "Movie Challenges", special missions, that closely resemble famous movie chase scenes.

** In one mission, Tanner has to catch two lowlifes who stole a church collection box. His reaction? He's always wanted to say that [[The Blues Brothers|he's on a mission from God]]
