Driver: San Francisco is an action-adventure racing video game and the fifth installment in the Driver series. Developed by Ubisoft Reflections and published by Ubisoft, it was released in September 2011 for the PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows, with an edition for Mac OS X in March 2012. The game will have players traverse a fictional representation of San Francisco and the Bay Area, conducting missions through the use of licensed real-world cars, with the ability to shift into any car in the game's setting in most platform editions. The game's main story sees players controlling John Tanner, a police detective, who falls into a coma pursuing his nemesis Charles Jericho following a prison breakout after the events of Driver 3 (Driv3r), and finds himself piecing together his plan in a dream world while it is happening in real life.

A new feature is Shift, which allows Tanner to teleport from one car to another without discontinuing the mission.[1] One of the inspirations for Shift comes from Google Earth.[1] The game was also described as a "return to the roots" of the series as the ability to get out of the car, which was introduced in Driver 2, was removed and replaced with the ability to Shift (teleport) into other cars, as the developers felt that too many games had this kind of feature already and "it wasn't desirable [for us] to just copy that exact mechanic".[1][2] With Shift, the player can also start or continue missions. As well as the ability to use Shift, all cars are equipped with a 'boost' feature, requiring the player to push up on the left thumbstick to use it. Players can also push L1 on the PlayStation 3 or the left shoulder button on the Xbox 360 version of the game to perform a special 'ram' attack on cars. The film director mode, which was absent from Parallel Lines, also returns, and players can share their videos on the Driver Club website.[1] The game runs at 60 frames per second.[3]
San Francisco is unique from other games in the series in that the game features licensed real-life cars. There are a total 140 fully damageable vehicles based on real-life models, ranging from buggies and compact cars to muscle cars and sport cars. The automobile marques featured in the game include Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Audi, Bentley, Cadillac, Chevrolet, DeLorean, Dodge, Ford, GMC, Hummer, Lamborghini, Lincoln, McLaren, Pagani, Ruf, Shelby, and Volkswagen.[9]
Ubisoft registered the domain driversanfranciscogame.com as well as driversanfrancisco.com and driversanfran.com in April 2010, suggesting that San Francisco was the setting of the new game in the series.[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] Ubisoft officially announced the game, titled Driver: San Francisco on their E3 2010 conference.[26][27] Driver: San Francisco was released in September 2011 for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Wii and PC and for Mac OS X in March 2012.
Driver: San Francisco is the fifth installment of the Driver series. The PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii versions were released on September 1, 2011 in Australasia, September 2, 2011 in Europe, and September 6, 2011 in North America. The Microsoft Windows version would soon follow on September 2, 2011 in Europe, September 27, 2011 in North America, and September 29, 2011 in Australasia. A Mac OS X port would also release on March 8, 2012 world wide. The game takes place in the city of San Francisco inside Tanner's head while he is in a coma. He discovers a new supernatural ability called 'Shift', which enables him to take control of cars around San Francisco, which he uses to take down Jericho.
A new feature for the game is Shift, which allows Tanner to shift from a car into another car and continue the mission. One of the inspirations for Shift comes from Google Earth. The game is also being described as a "return to the roots" to the series as the ability to get out of the car, which was introduced in Driver 2, has been removed as the developers felt that too many games have this kind of feature already and "it wasn't desirable for us to just copy that exact mechanic.". With Shift, the player can also start missions. As well as the ability to use Shift, all cars will be equipped with a 'boost' feature, which is used by pushing forward on the left thumb stick. Players can also push L1 on the PlayStation 3 or the left shoulder button on the Xbox 360 to perform a special 'ram' attack on cars. The film director mode, which was absent from Parallel Lines, also returns, which allows players to share videos of the game on the Driver Club website (until it was removed by Ubisoft). The game runs at 60 frames per second.
The game has one of the largest driving environments. The game's San Francisco recreation has about 208 miles (335 km) of roads. Various landmarks are recreated in the game including half of the Bay Bridge and parts of Marin County and Oakland. In the Wii version, however, access to the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges are blocked, thus preventing the driver from driving through parts of Marin County and Oakland. However, it is a more fictionalized interpretation of these areas.
Driver San Francisco is the first game in the series including 140 fully damageable licensed vehicles ranging from buggies, muscle cars, and sport cars including Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Bentley, Ruf Automobile, Dodge, Ford, Shelby, Volkswagen, Pagani, Lincoln, the DeLorean DMC-12, Lamborghini, Chevrolet, GMC, Hudson, Hummer, Jaguar, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati, McLaren, Nissan, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, RAM, Abarth, Range Rover and Cadillac.
Driver San Francisco packs a lot of HD-spectacular Tanner's missions and sub-mission that can make a city better and help people in need for their one reason. This game has 7 chapters which you take the lead for finding Jericho and taking him down. But when one accident happens, when Tanner chases Jericho for his last breath, Tanner was in a coma when a truck hits them with Jones. So, all 7 chapters was in Tanner's imagination in San Francisco, knowing the situation of himself and following the paths of Jericho, building a diversion to detonate the whole city (in real life after Tanner's coma.)
On April 23, 2010, Ubisoft registered the domain driversanfranciscogame.com as well as driversanfrancisco.com and driversanfran.com, suggesting that San Francisco was the setting of the new game in the series. On May 27, 2010, Ubisoft confirmed that the next installment in the Driver series would appear on E3 2010, along with other games. On 7 June 2010, Ubisoft released a teaser website containing a live action trailer, resembling the first mission of the original Driver game, along with a countdown for Ubisoft's E3 2010 conference.
Ubisoft also created the game's Facebook page, which upon clicking in the "Like" button, opens a slightly different version of the trailer, showing a Californian driver license of John Tanner. A billboard at the LA Convention Center for E3 revealed the title of the new game to be Driver: San Francisco. Ubisoft officially announced the game on their E3 2010 conference. On November 12, 2010 the game has been delayed and is set to be released in FY 2012, which is between March 31, 2011 and the same date in 2012.
A collector's edition was available for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows versions of the game for PAL territories only. The pack includes a 1899cm replica of a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T 440 Six Pack, a map of San Francisco detailing the in-game location of the 80 dares scattered across the city, three exclusive in-game cars for multiplayer mode including 1963 Aston Martin DB5, 1972 Lamborghini Miura, and 1966 Shelby Cobra 427, and 4 single player challenges:
Sometime in December 2016, the game was silently removed from every retail store. Ubisoft claims the reason was "due to the game not actively seeing users play the game". It is widely believed that the real reason the game was delisted was due to licensing issues with the music or cars in the game. Currently the only ways to play the game are to buy a game key, or to obtain a physical disc version of the game.
Use the Right Thumbstick to zoom in and out while in shift mode. Zoom out andenlarge your mini-map, then find the Dare. Dares are small challenges that give you a little bit of Willpower, which is the currency in the game. All youhave to do here is go right down the road without hitting anything for a bit.After doing this, head to the nearby garage and buy your first car. Only a few are unlocked, and some of them are too expensive right now, so your choices are limited. However, once you leave the garage, you will start accumulating Willpower. Every 20 minutes you get a chunk of Willpower. The size of the chunk depends on how many cars and garages you own. You'll also start getting Willpower for doing stuff while driving around, like overtaking,drifting, nearly missing other cars, and hitting jumps, among other things.
After you freeze the city, drive forward to trigger another cutscene. You'llsoon see an ambulance fly by. There are two trails coming from its taillights.You need to follow it and have at least one of those trails touching your car. This will lower your heart rate. At one point, the ambulance disappearsand then reappears. After he does this, you can drive right through traffic.Touching any vehicle will simply make it disappear. If you touch the ambulance,it'll disappear and reappear ahead of you, which doesn't really help much.Stay in the trails until your heart rate has been lowered to 85bpm to end this mission and the chapter. A side note: When I was playing the mission, mygame glitched and I was unable to lower my heart rate after reaching the point where you can drive through traffic. If this happens, simply lose the ambulance and restart the mission. It'll put you right at the spot where you can drive through traffic, and this fixed the problem for me. 2ff7e9595c
