Dang, PC version is so different. Imagine how different Driver 2 would have been.
I think there is a PC version of that game which was out not so long ago, ReDriver2 or something like that.
@@Weylmes Wow, being able to play the game without the constant lagging that existed on the original PSX version is a whole different experience.
@@slpbirdy00 Since Driver 1 PC is capped at 50fps, I do think Redriver2 is running a bit fast now. Perhaps it should include a 25fps limiter.
@@slpbirdy00 Dude it's so fun! you can actually beat the campaign now :)
for 1999 that is a nice attention to detail.
At 1:54
3:50 the Twin Towers on the right
When I was young, my uncle installed this game on my grandma's crappy computer for all of the cousins to play when we visited her. We spent countless hours in this game, and it was a vivid part of our "going to grandma's" experience as kids. A great video like this is a trip down memory lane for sure - good work.
This must be so nostalgic then lol
I wonder if grandma herself ever fired this game up when no one was around. Imagine if she had a hidden steering wheel setup and everything! 🤣
Driver was my favorite PlayStation 1 game. Being born behind the Iron Curtain in the early eighties I watched many old american movies on pirated VHS tapes and always admired the old muscle cars, cruisers with fins from the '50s and of course the badass american trucks like Peterbilt, Kennworth, MAC etc. Sadly enough even after the fall of communism there was no videogame with open world driving until the first Driver came, but the wait was worth it!!
Driver has it all - cool muscle cars and cop chases with squealing tires, ramming into each other sheet metal onto sheet metal, jumping down hills, driving through boxes, trash cans and glass. Everything is just like in the movies I used to watch and still do. What is crazy is that Driver has 4 cities and each has real landmarks and famous buildings which makes the atmosphere even better. Hell you can even drive over the Golden Gate bridge.
The cutscenes in the game are also pretty good and especially the intro. The intro for Driver is my favorite intro of all times together with the Test Drive 5 intro. Lets not forget about the epic soundtrack...man, I still regularly listen to it. It really brought the 70s into the game for sure. The soundtrack for Driver and Tenchu: Stealth Assassin's are my two most favorite soundtracks even though we are all on PS5 now and so many games passed between now and then.
Those old american movies and the first Driver are the reason why I now own a '72 Dodge Demon 340 and feel like the coolest guy ever when I cruise in it and burn the rubber a bit from time to time. These old muscle cars have so much charisma and a soul...before I even open the garage door, I get weak in the knees, I get goosebumps and my pulse goes faster. And when I turn on the old V8 engine, I feel like "This is it. Today, I am the DRIVER 😎."
Wow, what an exceptional game!! Hopefully we get a new proper Driver game again one day, because the good old classic american car chase still has a lot to offer.
If someone of you thinks about getting an old muscle car...do it, guys. The experience is worth every penny. The looks, the sound, the loose driving and the ever present raw and powerful feeling the car gives you is something beyond understanding until you're behind the steering wheel yourself. And don't forget: "Watch the paint, man!!"
GLUG, GLUG, GLUG, GLUG, GLUG, VROOOOOOOM!!
The honking at 5:23 match perfectly with the music
01:20 The reason you can drown is because originally the game was supposed to have open parts of the concrete wall where you could drive through, but in the final release, these were removed. These could be seen on early demos that were released, but for whatever reason the area that was made for the drowning feature remained.
Awesome! I loved the cop cars of Driver 1 and Driver 2 on Las Vegas, and used to made them on paper at an 3d angle, full of detail and color, and then cut it out, carrying them to school between my pencils, i was 10/11 yo. Thank you very much.
4:49 The way you plow through traffic makes it look like a Burnout game.
Game from my childhood and it took so long to beat, because of the difficulty on some missions. Remember the director mode, where it was not completely able to record everything i wanted to do and the game seemed to do random stuff at playback instead.
Very interesting! And hey, one thing that I have seen first hand is that if you're driving the old T-Bird or Ferrari with the speed cheat on, while 300mph is fast, hitting the Cruise Control button can actually boost you even MORE, up to 400 mph! Yes, I know it may sound crazy, but the Cruise Control, when going fast enough, actually serves as a secondary speed booster! That's right, if you accelerate in the fastest cars in the game, then later press and hold Cruise Control, you will hit 400 mph! I'm dead serious, you gotta try this out for yourself!
I need to try that.
OMG it works lmao, it's actually ridiculous
@@dorukdogauysal8299 Yeah, it's insane! Even I was blown away by it!
Indeed it works. If only i knew that before making this video. But it will be featured in the next one !
Fantastic video! So much effort and detail put into it. You rule!
Thank you. :)
01:19 - I believe that the developers planned to make some locations with an accessible seaside (like they made it in Driver 2). I came to this idea when I noticed that the car is sinking almost everywhere around the Dodge Island. And in general, why was it necessary to make a drowning script, if it was not planned to use it?
Another one is that music is gone unless you play on some older system like Windows XP with original disk. And its different music to one from PS1 version of the game.
Deserve more views man
Thank you. :)
Underrated gem😊❤️
This brought back so many childhood memories, including that infamous parking garage. Dad brought this home for the PS1 one day and it became an instant favorite, even if my younger self spent more time smashing up the other cars on the road than actually driving around, especially with cheat codes. I also have a vivid memory of my dad somehow successfully running over a pedestrian that got caught on a bridge, which left behind a very primitive 2D sprite of gore and a corpse, but I'll chalk that one up to an overactive imagination at the time.
Pure nostalgia eh? I remember my father got me and my sister to a store that had pirate games dirty cheap, and bought us that game. We spent countless hours with my sister, just like you said "smashing other cars"... We were very young and didn't speak or understand English at that time. Memories, memories, memories.... Wish you the best buddy! Stay safe!
franchement, grand chapeau pour ces facts, je joue à ce jeu depuis que jsuis tout petit et j'apprends encore des choses
On ps1 version you never drown in water
driver 3 was the last true driver game
I played this on the PS1 and the game was notoriously bad throwing your car outside derivable space and into buildings and voids, if you struck a car on its side 😂
Ah yes, the games responsible for GTA transforming from top down to what you see now
Watching this video gave me such a weird feeling, I haven't played this since I was 5 or 6 (some 20 years ago) and this game has such a surreal/liminal space vibe because of the ancient graphics. I played quite a bit of driver 2 but never gave this one much attention, imagine if they remade this for the current generation but kept it simar to the original.
1:28 this has happened to me many times and the way how the water works is really weird. Once i was able to get away from the water and i got the "You wrecked your vehicle" after it.
nice effort . some stuff i just know about in this video . thanks for it
9:31 that tree waved
i used to love to put on the fast cars cheat and use one of those two fast cars as a kid, it was fun to try and turn them and jsut have them flip around and fly
Useless facts on an old game I barley even play, yet I cannot look away
Really interesting stuff,, thanks for sharing :)
Curious to see behind the map construction and how the developers used the props to create fake scenary to make Miami bigger.
had to laugh at the turning stop sign
Very cool 😎
the memories :) ❤
Here's another trick - you can get an even higher ridiculous top speed in the two fast cars by engaging cruise control after about 100mph - they go mental!
Yeah, I did that too!
I need to try that.
5:51 you drive bigger distance by steering, so i guess its actually faster, but given the longer distance it cancels itself out
cute video
Nice vid
Thank you. :)
Interesting...
Cool to see more of the game since I never got past the fucking tutorial level.
At least you know the parking lot very well. (bad joke)
Fun
The sense of speed looks really off. 200mph looks like only 60mph.
Old games 😂
Maybe make a video on the country side map?
Maybe one day !
it would be interesting to measure the maximum speed of the cops' cars.
This is something i had in mind while making this one. Might do it for a future video.
The other cities were using GM B Body police cars, and NYC was using Chrysler M Bodies I believe? Nice detail.
I don't know about the real models, but it's interesting that New York have a different version. Can't remember if it was the same on PS1.
My first game
Awesome video, i loved it. I'm downloading the REDRIVER 2 and i'll test it to kill that wish to play it again.
By the way, could you help me please? Look, i remember that my friend had a Driver 1 game installed on his PC, but it was different, the cars were more polished, you had a bumper camera while driving. I remember it was a little bit different. Is there a different Driver version for PC?
Don't think there is a different version on PC.
@@Weylmes I really don't know. Cause the pc version doesn't have a bumper camera and this one did. The game looked clean and such. But thanks
One thing that is seldom-noticed in Driver is that the police cannot track you properly if you're driving alongside the road rather than on it - once you're a set distance away from them (a few car lengths)
Yeah this is something i already recorded for the next video.
@@Weylmes I've had it up as a video for many years now on "surviving survival mode", lol. Weirdly the timer actually slows down the longer the survival run goes, so in order to max out the timer at 99.59.59, you need to keep it running for a few hours.
Ah, this was a nice example. I played this game back in 2003 on PC and didn’t notice most of these. What timeline do you think this game is set in?
I would say end of the 70's or early 80's.
This game has certainly got its fair share of things which are weird unrealistic and are glitches.But all and all it really wasn't that bad of a game.
Can we just get a modern remaster of the game already? Keep the game to the roots while making the maps better.
The trams in San Andreas do the same
Hard to believe that this game is from last century 😭 lol
Have you ever tried Touch a car on the roof when it lays on the side with your car?
Yeah i remember doing that on PS1. I wonder if it works on PC.
#keepdriveralive
Nice,what language does the police scanner speak?
French.
@@Weylmes make a video showing us the French police voices of the scanner
I swear the bridges are solid on PS1
They are not and the civilian cars on it don't drivve as far as they do on the PC version.
@@Weylmes My bad, I could have sworn I clipped out of the map back in the day and drove on one
@@Weylmes Could have been a beta build I had, some of the bridges were also untextured
@@REPOMAN24722 I didn't try all bridges so i might be wrong as well. I'll do it again next time i'm on the game.
@@WeylmesYou are probably correct the last time I played the game was over a decade ago and I only play the OS1 version as I see it as the ultimate version. Interesting how in the beta there were no barriers to the water in allot of places, pretty much anywhere had no barrier except the highways, drowning was allot easier. The boats also 100% had collision.
I used to play this game, when it came out on PSX.
Not sure what the purpose of this video is though. Very mildly interesting stuff?
The purpose of the video is to put some informations (more or less interesting) together and that's it. Then people in the comments sharing other stuff they know or the memory they have about that game, and it's great for me to read. But i'm okay with people who don't understand or don't like it.
el driver fue primero que el gta en ser querido la cagaron despues en el ps2
Wait, in PC is possible to choser another car?
Yes, once you finish the story.
FUN FACT
you can never beat the first parking lot tutorial, neither you can beat the last mission of driver 1
Driver have some of the hardest missions i've ever done but i never had issues with the parking lot.
@@Weylmes i did as a kid, had no clue what they wanted me to do so i jusr had to try it all lol
@@votpavel Yeah fair enough. I probably had some fails back in the day but i don't have any bad memories about this mission.
I never beat the Last level of Driver 1, at least in the legit way, i glitched out of the map and drowned my car and somehow counted it as a win 🤣🤣🤣
When ny car speed reaches 170 a strange sound appears from the engine what is the solution?
I think it is sound driver related
3:51 anyone else notice the base of the twin towers 😔
I could never get past the tutorial as a kid. Couldn't figure it out for some reason. At 29 I bought a copy I found at a flea market and I still cant get past the tutorial. Some maneuver that doesn't seem possible on PS1 controllers. I played the crap out of Driver 2 as a kid though.
how do you get the infinite mass for your car?
There's a cheat code you got once you finish the game. It's basically the same as the "carnage mode".
ah i see thanks for the response!@@Weylmes
Does anyone know how to play this game on Win 7, I have the game but Win 7 won't install it😢
Wait.. wtf? is this really on driver 1? i played this game as a kid and ended the game many times and have never seen any of this??
зачем растянули соотношение сторон?
Man, I miss the ol' Driver when it's about "Driving Games". Driv3r is horse shit, Parallel Lines a decent one, San Francisco are much-much better if only Tanner can get outta car.
If only Driver series coming back, Anyway is Re:Driver mods any good? Kinda interested me tho.
I don't play ReDriver unfortunately. Maybe someone else can give you an answer.
