Notes

E3 2011 demo content

This build of Driver: San Francisco is identical to the playable demo booth build shown off at E3 2011, albeit with a few subtle differences:

• Multiplayer mode is not available.
• Unlockable challenges, dares and activities are not present in code.
• Traffic is limited to a very small subset of vehicles
• The "Freedrive" chapter was replaced with the "Prove It" mission from the first chapter of the game; its chapter data, however, is still present and can potentially be accessed through modification.

Content is limited to a subset of three missions with timed objectives, all consolidated inside of a single script chunk that was originally primarily intended for the game's first chapter:

• Prove It (Tanner & Jones mission; from Chapter 1)
• Team Colors (tag team race mission; from Chapter 3)
• Escapist (Tanner & Jones mission; from Chapter 6)

All player abilities (boosting, vehicle ramming and rapid shifting) are unlocked by default. The player is given a small period of time to complete a timed objective (five minutes if playing in freedrive mode), and all player stats (completed challenges, obtained Willpower, etc.) are reset to defaults after the end of a mission.

Mission differences

The demo features a number of differences in the three playable missions:

• The "Prove It" mission has an alternate start point and automatically invokes the Shift HUD tutorial upon mission start.
• An alternate set of vehicles is used in "Team Colors", a design decision likely intended to make the mission easier for new players. Strangely, the mood (weather type) displayed throughout the entire mission is the dark-green thunderstorm shown during the game's nightmare sequences and in the final Jericho battle (prior to the game's "epilogue" mission).
• In "Escapist", Ordell does not pass by Tanner's car once the player arrives to their first destination; instead, Ordell's car is parked in an alley, and the first destination point has been shifted to a position that is directly behind them (unlike what is shown in the E3 demo). The mission plays identically to the variant included in the final game.

Miscellaneous

• Predates the final build by 5 days.
