"Summary: The first and exclusive action driving game on Nintendo 3DS that lets you experience the intensity of urban car chases. As former cop John Tanner, you work outside the law to fight crime in the gritty streets of New York and defeat the 5 crime lords who own the city."
This is Metacritic's description. Tanner did NOT work outside the law in Driver 3D Renegade. Tanner explicitly and specifically worked within the law, as a civilian, to prevent unnecessary injury and loss of life at every step by seeking to use as little force as necessary, if any, to citizens arrest organized criminal 'crime lords' in New York City working for a ringleader later revealed to be a corrupt local Senator (possibly state senator). The first person he tracked down as a civilian was a kidnapper who he struck with his left fist and citizen's arrested. The kidnapper was sentenced to life in prison. The Wikipedia article on Driver 3D Renegade fraudulently misrepresents the plot, saying that Tanner killed the kidnapper with a crowbar. While it's true that Tanner FLASHED a crowbar in his right hand as a distraction, Tanner struck with his bare fist instead and the kidnapper was apprehended and incarcerated.
Some might call this Metacritic and Wikipedia narrative misrepresentation 'viral marketing' to 'describe' the structure of organized crime risk management. Some might call the cordless death squad murder of Fernando Velez 'viral marketing' to 'describe' the structure of organized crime. Some might call the tanking of the Driver series after this game was produced 'viral marketing' to describe the structure of organized crime.
An organized criminal consultant, Terry Black, was hired to consult on the script for Driver 3D Renegade. That game has THE MOST realistic dialogue of any organized crime media I have been exposed to--dialogue whose nuances EXPOSE fictional detective "Actual Dan Tanner", also known as "Renegade Tanner", as being trafficked by the Lost Cause, unaware, and fighting organized crime because he's got integrity and is 100% ethically opposed to criminal activity. Here's the first clue that Tanner isn't in organized crime: when he goes to hold crime lords accountable, he goes after them directly, instead of attacking the people the crime lords exploit for personal gain. He doesn't speak the New Order 'lingo', and that's what drives the tension of Driver 3D Renegade.
In New Order/Lost Cause criminal code lingo, "not = knot/true", "never=now and forever", "no = new order/affirmative", "I'm good = I'm agricultural goods, so go ahead and do what you've inquired about". Because I'm not seeking to join organized crime, I note when I hear it, sometimes verbally document it, but don't practice speaking it/don't know how to speak it/don't have any desire to be drawn into organized crime, because obeying new order language/practicing what it instructs leads to the commission of capital felonies.
So, why is this "Actual Tanner"? Because Tanner as depicted in every other Driver game is Lost Cause propaganda, meant to ruin his reputation. Sometimes it's people who don't even look like "Actual Tanner" playing Tanner. Sometimes it's "Actual Tanner", being piloted around while he's unconscious, completely unaware that people are using his body to kill informants and "go undercover". Often it's "Macross-style" recut footage with a completely different plot--designed to paint Tanner as a remorseless psychopath on a serial killing spree. "Actual" Tanner is the opposite of a remorseless psychopath. In Driver 3D Renegade, Tanner pulls a firearm ONCE, and chooses not to pull the trigger, surrendering the perp to the authorities instead--and this is AFTER the perpetrator murdered his significant other.
So, who is "Actual Tanner" based on? Victims of the Lost Cause, framed with propaganda that depict them as the opposite of who they are, surrounded by high-tech organized criminals who operate in mobile, shifting, interchangeable rings.
Driver is the highest-concept series I've ever seen, it makes Grand Theft Auto look like an enormous paperwork snafu. I wonder if Rockstar Games' reputation management were so embarrassed, they put a hit on Driver 3D Renegade programmer and designer Fernando Velez.… Expand
