Driving in Tehran is an Iranian racing video game made by the Iranian video game company Samie Rayan Pardaz (SRP). It was released for Windows in January 2006. The whole game was based off Iranian Traffic Police PSA's from the 2000's. Sia and Hootan were known characters before Driving in Tehran existed.
Development and release
According to the game's director, the idea of "Driving in Tehran" first emerged in 2002-2003 from Sarhang Esmaeeli, one of the prominent figures in the Iranian Police Force. The game cost around 1.5–2 billion tomans (approximately $2,000,000) to produce and was said to be using SRP’s in-house game engine. The game was funded by the Iranian Police Force and the ministry of industry, and was further supported by various Iranian corporations, some offering over 100 million tomans in exchange for in-game advertisements. The most notable of these companies was IKCO (Iran Khodro Co.), who ended up having a big influence on the final product. [1] [2]
First copies of the game were rumored to appear in early 2006 at Elecomp, an Iranian electronics exhibition. [3] Due to issues with this release, the retail version of the game was delayed, with the game appearing in stores at around April of the same year. [4]
Gameplay
The gravity was cranked up, which is a lazy move in racing games to make the car more stable. The physics were really glitchy, which caused invisible collisions to happen.
The game lied about the whole creation of District 6 (out of 22) when only 5% was added to the game, which resulted in the map being just 2 short streets of District 6. Some alleyways were skipped and full detail was ignored. There are renders in the game files which made the game look a lot more reasonable but they were cut out for the final product.
The AI traffic is known to collide with your car while performing unrealistic driving conditions. When an AI car hits you, the game makes a bugged sound and can make your car glitch, flying around.
The rules in this game were not clear, and when you run over pedestrians, the game shows a message with Persian text saying “You shouldn’t play with people’s lives”, before crashing.
There are also hidden voice lines and cars in the game files (such as a Mercedes which was cut from the final release because of IKCO). The cover car (Which was a sports car) also got changed to an IKCO Samand car. Also another Mercedes (this time as a police car) was supposed to be in the game, but got cut for a unknown reason.
"They unironically made something that is best described as an anti-video game" - SepiSP4
People who bought the game also got a second CD which was about track racing, but people instead got an empty disc and the game is believed to be lost media now, but from limited information that we have, it was a poorly modded version of Need For Speed 4 (1999).
SRP's game engine
The supposed SRP engine that was for the game was a blatant copy of GLScene, and the main executable was a simple Flash player.[5]
They ripped off a vehicle physics demo and replaced the models with Iranian cars.
