3)+Hide+Inside+Alleyways Ducking into an open alleyway is a great way to avoid other players shifting near you. If every car that's near you is going in the opposite direction, it becomes extremely hard for other racers to shift near you, as they'll have to stop and turn around, causing the distance between you and your pursuers to grow quickly. Licensed cars - yes please! 2)+Drive+on+the+Wrong+Side+of+the+Road If you become the target car, the best way to avoid people shifting up close to you and taking you down, is to immediately spin your car around and drive against traffic. Your best bet is to shift to a car that's much further ahead but going in the same direction, so that you can build up enough speed to match your target as it drives near you. While you may see many suitably hotted-up cars within the target's vicinity, shifting to one that's too close may cause you to fall back again due to a lack of speed. To have any chance of catching up to it using the ability to shift, you will need to pick wisely. 1)+Shift+Far+Ahead A quick tap of R1 (or RB) will shoot your viewpoint up over the car you happen to be chasing.

While it might take a few matches to get the hang of things, we thought we'd give you all a few pointers ahead of the game's release, both to help you dominate when you pick up Driver: San Francisco and to highlight how the new mechanics shift things up. We played several games of the 'Tag' mode and can confirm that this new style of gameplay is quite fun and original, and will make for some great edge-of-your-seat chases with your mates. We recently had a chance to play the game's 'Tag' multiplayer mode, which has players stealing a crown and trying to hold on to it for a total of 100 seconds, while other players try to nab it by ramming into you. Players will be able to shift between any of the hundred or so cars on the road in the middle of a chase, a little like the agents shift around to different cars in The Matrix Reloaded.

After the lukewarm reception for the most recent title in the series, developer Ubisoft Reflections realised it needed to do something drastic to stand apart from other similar games on the market, and it has done just that with its new 'spiritual shifting' gameplay. It's safe to say that most people were taken aback by the change-up of core mechanics in Ubisoft's latest game in the long-enduring Driver franchise.
