@@untseac naaah, gta was just a crappy game till gta 3, driver 2 was the first driver game were you can steal cars and shit, so yeaaa... Both are different, the "gta clone" stereotyp is stupid tbh, it's different... It's like saying every fps after doom was a clone
You could leave the car in Driver 2(2000), GTA was always a great game. Driv3r had to try to do more than Driver 1+2, since both GTA 3 and GTA Vice City were out. As was True Crime Streets of LA.
This game, much like driver 2 had awesome secrets. Random switches that revealed cool cars. Had so much fun playing d2, 3 and sf. Great series albeit the questionable physics and animations haha
It's a pity that this game was released unfinished, if they invested a bit more time on it and polished it a bit more it could have been soo much better.
Thats what i said,it looks like early beta bro, But,nononoooo! Atari needed to release it fast so that it fucks up gta sa But the sa made this game look like a clown.
I remember going around hunting the "timmy vermicelli's" you had to kill, poking fun at Rockstar and Tommy Vercetti. Oh how that panned out for them lol
I had this on PS2 back in the day. notoriously difficult from what i remember, controls were jank. I ended up just free roaming through istanbul on a bike most of the time, seeing what chaos i could cause.
Same. I was just going on free ride in nice, and just causing as much destruction I could. The aiming was bad but the driving was amazing. I would also play the survival mini game only because the police ai there didn't give a single fck and was just hitting you at the speed of light. I know its a bad game but I don't care. It did it's job at entertaining me, in it's own way.
I grew up not knowing Driv3r was bad, because I played it a lot. Didnt like the story mode, but I loved making chase replays with the clunky editor they implemented. I was more than happy just letting my imagination run
@Nvidia RTX2080ti Cutscenes, Portrayal of Characters (might not be as good as San Andreas but still), Great Story Also Driver introduced Director's mode way before Gta 5
Atari(Infogrames ) was a garbage developers from back in the day. I read in gamasutra a few years ago how they bought the Atari name from Hasbro(who owned it after the Tramel Atari went under in 1996) and renamed themselves Atari. They then went on a shopping spree buying game studios and giant developers like GT Interactive, Accolade, Ocean, Gremlin......only to push out unfinished games, subpar products and further destroy the Atari name. Driver IP was one of their many victims.
Neither Atari nor Infogrames were anything close to garbage back in the day, quite the opposite, actually. But, unfortunately, things tend to change (just look at EA) and, well... it all turned to crap.
Driver 3 was great for its time I thought. I played the story mode through the end. The last mission was actually pretty difficult. It was right on the edge of games still being a challenge and I miss that era.
I used to play this game for hours everyday as a kid back in 2005-2006 when I got a ps2. I remember just driving off a giant ramp all the way to the bottom of the level, watching my car roll a million times.. lmao
Man Driv3r bring back memories.The physics made the game :D.Yes it's not a flashy game but hella fun.It's like GTA you don't do missions you just mess around in town stealing cars and messing with cops.
Love your videos, there's something kinda soothing about them. Whatever is bothering you at the moment hope it goes away soon (you ain't bothering no one). Keep up the great work!
i remember getting a Semi/lorry and just driving for ages into oncoming traffic and watching the cars deform. pretty neat stuff considering this was way before GTA IV!
Driver was most best game in its time, my first game was Driv3r, but ofc, everyone has their own opinion, for me, this was one of the best games of my childhood and im happy bout it
I don't remember it being a bad game, I actually loved playing it. In the first town you can sit in a draw bridge booth messing with traffic and the cops, it was quite fun.
I remember buying this second hand on PC for a quid about 15 years ago.. Had not read the reviews and was wondering why a game that wasn't that old was selling so cheap.. I soon found out.. Hope you feel better soon.. keep up the great work :)
I remember buying Aliens:Colonial Marines for Xbox 360 NEW the same week it was released for £4, the GAME edition with GAME exclusive content. I didn't hate it as much as everyone else seemed to, but then again, I never paid £40 for it.
Loved driving around Nice in this game. I remember the settings as beautiful, and the handling of the cars as pretty decent. Even the soundtrack was enjoyable. I sure miss a time when you even could enjoy somewhat "flawed" games for their various qualities. Now I'm jaded beyond repair and discard games after an hour if they don't meet my impossible standards. Sad.
It's interesting, cause I can still enjoy the sometimes very "flawed" new games (like My Summer Car), it's just that most AAA gaming has moved soo far away from what I wanted in games all the way back in the early 2000s that I just can't tolerate them anymore. So I find myself coming back to these old games to get that. Like Driv3r. If I want an open world driving game, with ok driving physics and car damage, realistic narrow roads with traffic, set in an interesting new location (like Nice/Istanbul) that isn't just a generic US city, etc. there isn't really much that can cover that in the modern gaming world.
Everyone talking about the game but no one is talking about what you said at the end of the video. I hope you feel better soon, I can wait for the next video.
I played this game so much as a kid, I remember me and my friends would take turns driving around the cities. At the time it was quite an amazing game graphically and I think it still holds up to this day - this was a PS2 game!
Two things made Driv3r good: Firstly, the glitches were hilarious! However the most important thing was that the game was HARD, properly hard. I spent hours and numerous tantrums trying to chase Calita through the narrow streets of Istanbul, but when I finally did it, it felt AMAZING!
Thanks for making such great content man, never be afraid to share or take care of yourself. We’re all human, your sincerity and honesty is what makes you such a great channel to follow 🤗
I just played this yesterday. In the first mission the cop I was supposed to follow drove straight into the ocean. My brothers were watching and we couldn't stop laughing. The utter ludicrousness of this game makes it so great
I remember this was incredibly hard and the shooting mechanics were absolutely horrendous. But like everyone here including yourself I can overlook it all because of the pure nostalgia
This may not be of interest to anyone, but if you have some graphic bug with modern hardware in this game (On AMD cards shadows not rendered properly or at all, as seen in this video), you can use DXVK, that convert DX9 api calls to Vulkan, and for me that fix the shadow bug an other minors graphics bugs, and the performance is much better, a lot less stutters at 1080p 120fps
I've played Driv3r like 7 years ago on PS2 and it was briliant. Also Driver San Francisco was still good old Driver under hood. We need another great Driver game.
I got Fallout 3 working fine (if you don't believe me it's on my channel) all you have to do is go into a file and limit it to only us 2 cores maximum of your CPU
"New hardware vs old games" Omg I've had this idea for so so long, but just haven't got the money to get the "new hardware" to test things on. I know the result is gonna be obvious in most cases, but I wanna see just how overkill (or even underkill?) it's gonna be! This exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much RGHD!
I've heard when it first came out, it was a borderline unplayable glitchfest and Atari Interactive was to blame all because they were scared that GTA SA would outsell the game (Spoilers: It did!) so they decided to rush the game. This was the game that killed the franchise and gave birth to Watch Dogs in the 2010s. There's a whole video explaining about it on TH-cam.
I remember playing this game when I was a kid, it was so fun I really love the car physics I think it’s solid. The game itself feels empty and dead. You should make a video about Driver parallel lines its my favorite ps2 game.
When my dad handed this game to me for our ps2, I fell in love with it for some odd reason. I didn’t understand what it was about, but I just liked driving around.
When you're a kid you could care less of what you're playing as long as you're having fun. As you grow older you realize that some games were or are a waste of time with playing and you could be doing something more productive instead.
@@bimmer8602 you could say that about movies, tv, music, and books. All growing up does is make you take on more responsibilities. Unless you are saying that some games are bad, but when we were young we were too naive to care what game we were playing.
I still play Driver 3, I think people are just being too harsh, the game is just good, and the glitches are something I actually love about the game because to me it makes it more enjoyable, I felt the same way about True Crime: Streets of LA with the fact that I can easily glitch out of the map and explore a world that is even bigger than intended with fully functional traffic and scenery. I guess I just have a strange thing for glitchy open-world games and I just love them! Thank you for making this video, it really brings back *LOADS* of memories, I remember one time when I was 8 years old I asked my mom if I could play the game but ever since it was rated mature and I always asked that question she smashed the PS2 disc and threw it away, I remember taking it out of the trash a burying it in the dirt with a cardboard tombstone. I just realized how big this comment is, Jesus Christ... ok I think I'm done now *LMAO!*
I just played the ps2 version although a the framerate can get very low as lots of physicals start flooding the ps2s cpu it did have cell shadded shadows and the cars had dynamic shadows which appear to be missing from your pc footage
I distinctly remember my friend telling me all about it a lunch time in fourth grade, I always wanted to play it but never got the chance. Feel better man
I used to love this game on ps2, always played in Nice and always ended up driving up to that town on the hill through all those small streets!! Keep up the good work!!
Every once in a while I get nostalgic and instantly this games main menu/setup wizard themes play in my head. I remember wanting it SOOO bad as a kid, circa 2006 when I had my first PC that barely ran NFS Undergound, I first played this at my friends house and asked him to let me install it too and he didnt, so being an annoying kid i nagged my ma about it and we finally went out to buy it, when I told the clerk I wanted the Driver game he gave me the then newer Driver game which was Parallel Lines, which I only discovered after installing it on my PC. Nevertheless, I finally gave it back and replaced it with the good old Driv3r, still got the boxed PC version to this day, even with all the bugs and odd gameplay, I loved it for it tried to be and for the feeling it gave out. One had to experience this game back then to fully comprehend the feeling. Thank you for the video.
I remember spending countless hours in the evening in my early teens playing this game. Not even progressing through missions, just exploring and messing about. Simple times.
Haha nice vid man!! I got that game on a game hdd with a bunch of older ones from back in the day...max paynes...gta3..vice city..nfs underground 1&2..n plenty other older titles ! Makes me wanna play around with a dual core :) Hope you get your parts soon!
You could take a look at the early 2000s game "Buzzing Cars", it's interesting by virtue of being so dang obscure. It got released outside of Europe as "Wild Wheels" and was pretty much impossible to find any info about it with that name. Now, it can be downloaded for free from the dev's site along with the Blupi (Speedy Eggbert) franchise.
Hope you're feeling OK. You videos are always the first I play when I get on TH-cam, even before Linus and Jay. Your videos make my day! Keep it up your work is appreciated by your true fans.
Actually loved this game. I actually got this on PC last year (very legally of course) just for old times sake. I used to play this all the time with my little brother and mess around. I even showed him the game to see if he remembered it. He was probably about 7 when we first played this and hes 20 now. He said "Isn't this the game where you could mess with all the cars on the bridge? I remember using the fork lift to flip over cars) it was great to get him to smile and the fact that he remembered it was awesome. This game was just one of those mindless fun games IMO
I've just got hold of a old PSP 1000 , I've just jailbreaked it and i'm having a lot of fun with it , the only thing is I need to wear my glasses when playing on it as the screen is small.👀👀
Growing up, I was obsessed with this game. I still have my original XBOX copy (despite having no XBOX). My parents didn't let me have GTA but they saw Driv3r had no nudity so they let me have it. I loved this game to pieces because it was so bad, I'm glad to see after all this time it hasn't been forgotten about.
Man i wish cex didn't stop doing stuff in the us. i'd try some of these older games that were put out before steam became the de facto standard but where i live all the game stores only do the newest stuff and there is no older pc games in any of those.
I think this game could be fun. But i really miss shadows of the cars, although shadows are on in the graphics settings. Somehow everything looks a little bit empty or too clean. Maybe it is just a little bit too old...
Thanks for the video and get well soon! I've always wanted to play Driver 3 but never got around it. Had Driver 1 for PC and Driver 2 for PS1 and loved them both EXCEPT for that stupid first mission in the car park...
Played this for many hours on the PS2, I never tried to complete missions or advance in the game, just messed about in "Take A Ride" mode, crashing, smashing and tormenting other cars. Taking cars on the park on one of the maps that has a ramp on it and jumping the ramp and then bailing out of the car mid air and going to slow mo mode to watch the carnage. Used to input the cheats also so could have massive fights with the police and not be harmed. Hours of ridiculous entertainment.
I mean that's just be a newer celeron processor or Pentium processor and no one wants to waste their money on that crap, when the absolute bare minimum athlon 200 ge destroys those 2 processors for significantly less.
Hope you get well soon. As for the Game: I loved the Driver Games when I was young, while they did have (lots of) flaws, there were also lots of ambitious things in them. For example, the Vehicle deformation was quite present during a time where many Games decided to completely cut them out.
I used to have Driv3r on og xbox and my favorite thing was making replays. I could use the 'edit mode' think it was called. And then when I rewatched my creation I just had to select the mp3 from my xbox hard drive. I'm really sad that I have to post this, because it seems nobody has posted this feature from driv3r. If I ever get an Xbox again then I will record my music videos all over again. I think I honestly probably had 7 of them that were really good and I put them all on video tape. But they're all lost now.
I actually really enjoyed Driver 3. Cop cars fly over rivers when you aren't within vision so that they can catch up to you. If you managed to look at them while they were flying they would instantly drop out of the sky into the water. Plus, the movie maker function was pretty fun.
Dude i was hooked when i realised i could steal a bus! ... "What is this sorcery?" I thought. The giggling 15 year old that was myself proceeded to rip someone out of said bus, give them the good one two and carried on driving within the limits. Stopping at imaginary bus stops picking up imaginary folk, pulling a two hour shift as an imaginary bus driver ... Take me back!
I also have fond memories playing this as a kid. The only reason I played it at all was because it was the only alternative to GTA San Andreas I was allowed to buy for myself. Playing it today though just reminds me of how much better of a game it could have been.
I remember Driv3r fondly because it was the first game I played on the first pc I built. It was already an old game (circa 2013) but I had fun with it, until I got to that mission where you have to chase the girl on a crappy handling car and got frustrated by how many times I failed it. I never played it again
Whenever I visited my grandmother ; i would get my ps2 with this game, gran turismo 3 and tourist trophy to play with my cousin .we mostly played driver3 and take turns completing missions and taking rides. Our favourite was the little fiat and we would just enjoy roaming around in mia might with it.
It's crazy how nowadays kids would probably mistake this for a gta clone found on the app store
Can you really blame them
@@koriyagay No.

Same, man) A great game to play being a child)
I always loved getting off the map, which was pretty easy to do.
Me too, I loved that you had different maps not only us American based. Nizza, Istanbul, Miami it was I think.
I think there's a go-kart track behind a hotel inside miami.

But the sa made this game look like a clown.

Eh only fair since Rockstar put Tanner in GTA first
I remember they had him wear floaters around his arms, as you couldn't swim in GTA VC.
I had this on PS2 back in the day. notoriously difficult from what i remember, controls were jank.
I ended up just free roaming through istanbul on a bike most of the time, seeing what chaos i could cause.
Same. I was just going on free ride in nice, and just causing as much destruction I could. The aiming was bad but the driving was amazing. I would also play the survival mini game only because the police ai there didn't give a single fck and was just hitting you at the speed of light. I know its a bad game but I don't care. It did it's job at entertaining me, in it's own way.
I returned it to the shop the same day. I had it Preordered for months too and was looking forward to it so much. Instead we got hot trash
I got stuck in Nice, I really wanted to unlock Istanbul ;_;
@@JulianBo188 There were cheat codes to unlock everything.
I had a similar experience with The Getaway.

For me is ALWAYS!
Man i can feel a lot of sadness from your voice i hope that everything thing will be fine after this storm keep it going man ❤️

Be quiet peasent. Driver is older than you

Thank you for making this video, it really brings back *LOADS* of memories, I remember one time when I was 8 years old I asked my mom if I could play the game but ever since it was rated mature and I always asked that question she smashed the PS2 disc and threw it away, I remember taking it out of the trash a burying it in the dirt with a cardboard tombstone. I just realized how big this comment is, Jesus Christ... ok I think I'm done now *LMAO!*
#OldGamesVsNewPCHardware do it
Read the fucking title lmao.
@@jayrodriguez439 He clearly means do more of these.
Steve, hope you get to feeling better! Been a viewer for about 2-3 years, before your play button. Love the content, keep up the great work!
I just played the ps2 version although a the framerate can get very low as lots of physicals start flooding the ps2s cpu it did have cell shadded shadows and the cars had dynamic shadows which appear to be missing from your pc footage
I distinctly remember my friend telling me all about it a lunch time in fourth grade, I always wanted to play it but never got the chance. Feel better man
The classical music was very fitting and a nice touch. I hope it returns in future videos.
I used to love this game on ps2, always played in Nice and always ended up driving up to that town on the hill through all those small streets!! Keep up the good work!!
maybe the existence of GTA SA made things difficult for Driv3r
still I love both games
Please do Call Of Duty (2003) vs Modern hardware. That game is the first FPS game i've ever played i even have the original PC disk at home.
Every once in a while I get nostalgic and instantly this games main menu/setup wizard themes play in my head.
I remember wanting it SOOO bad as a kid, circa 2006 when I had my first PC that barely ran NFS Undergound, I first played this at my friends house and asked him to let me install it too and he didnt, so being an annoying kid i nagged my ma about it and we finally went out to buy it, when I told the clerk I wanted the Driver game he gave me the then newer Driver game which was Parallel Lines, which I only discovered after installing it on my PC.
Nevertheless, I finally gave it back and replaced it with the good old Driv3r, still got the boxed PC version to this day, even with all the bugs and odd gameplay, I loved it for it tried to be and for the feeling it gave out.
One had to experience this game back then to fully comprehend the feeling.
Thank you for the video.
I remember spending countless hours in the evening in my early teens playing this game. Not even progressing through missions, just exploring and messing about. Simple times.
I always felt if this game was actually finished before release it would have been one of the greatest
Driv3r is such an underrated game
Hope you feel better sending some Love from upstate NY :) PS: Making people laugh is a art that is under rated and I laughed my ass off!!!! TY
The video editing mode was so much fun as a kid!
I loved this game on PS2.. from finding secret cars, to exploring every little bit of map... and who remembers The Transformers demo on the disc? 😂
Haha nice vid man!! I got that game on a game hdd with a bunch of older ones from back in the day...max paynes...gta3..vice city..nfs underground 1&2..n plenty other older titles ! Makes me wanna play around with a dual core :) Hope you get your parts soon!
I swear we had the same childhood lol loved this game on ps2 my favorite was driver parallel lines I wanna see that next
You could take a look at the early 2000s game "Buzzing Cars", it's interesting by virtue of being so dang obscure. It got released outside of Europe as "Wild Wheels" and was pretty much impossible to find any info about it with that name.
Now, it can be downloaded for free from the dev's site along with the Blupi (Speedy Eggbert) franchise.
I don't know why this channel is so good, it just is.
Hope you're feeling OK. You videos are always the first I play when I get on TH-cam, even before Linus and Jay. Your videos make my day! Keep it up your work is appreciated by your true fans.
Loved the game. Played it on the ps2... I remember it looked better in graphics but i think that was just because it looked better than gta sa
here is a good game: XIII, is pretty good in graphics and gameplay, very underrated one
on foot gameplay sucks tho
I loved so much this game when i was a kid, omg, this is so nostalgic, i cannot see this game as a bad game
Actually loved this game. I actually got this on PC last year (very legally of course) just for old times sake. I used to play this all the time with my little brother and mess around. I even showed him the game to see if he remembered it. He was probably about 7 when we first played this and hes 20 now. He said "Isn't this the game where you could mess with all the cars on the bridge? I remember using the fork lift to flip over cars) it was great to get him to smile and the fact that he remembered it was awesome. This game was just one of those mindless fun games IMO
I've just got hold of a old PSP 1000 , I've just jailbreaked it and i'm having a lot of fun with it , the only thing is I need to wear my glasses when playing on it as the screen is small.👀👀
ppsspp on my huge note 10 plus screen with 3x resolution is amazing. psp is like the best system to emulate on phones.
@@gearsofwill9 or GameCube!
Driv3r is actually my favorite driver game of all time. Such a great game.
Growing up, I was obsessed with this game. I still have my original XBOX copy (despite having no XBOX). My parents didn't let me have GTA but they saw Driv3r had no nudity so they let me have it. I loved this game to pieces because it was so bad, I'm glad to see after all this time it hasn't been forgotten about.
I enjoy the exploring the city in-game but never played story missions
Man i wish cex didn't stop doing stuff in the us. i'd try some of these older games that were put out before steam became the de facto standard but where i live all the game stores only do the newest stuff and there is no older pc games in any of those.
I think this game could be fun. But i really miss shadows of the cars, although shadows are on in the graphics settings. Somehow everything looks a little bit empty or too clean. Maybe it is just a little bit too old...
Thanks for the video and get well soon! I've always wanted to play Driver 3 but never got around it. Had Driver 1 for PC and Driver 2 for PS1 and loved them both EXCEPT for that stupid first mission in the car park...
Played this for many hours on the PS2, I never tried to complete missions or advance in the game, just messed about in "Take A Ride" mode, crashing, smashing and tormenting other cars. Taking cars on the park on one of the maps that has a ramp on it and jumping the ramp and then bailing out of the car mid air and going to slow mo mode to watch the carnage. Used to input the cheats also so could have massive fights with the police and not be harmed. Hours of ridiculous entertainment.
can you do "A "Terrible" old pc game vs terrible modern hardware" ? :D
great video (:
lost russian this video is exactly that
@@Khloya69 this is vs modern hardware not terrible new hardware 0:46 "old games vs new pc hardware"
I mean that's just be a newer celeron processor or Pentium processor and no one wants to waste their money on that crap, when the absolute bare minimum athlon 200 ge destroys those 2 processors for significantly less.
lost russian but the hardware he’s using is terrible
Hope you get well soon.
As for the Game: I loved the Driver Games when I was young, while they did have (lots of) flaws, there were also lots of ambitious things in them. For example, the Vehicle deformation was quite present during a time where many Games decided to completely cut them out.
Seeing Ur video after two years literally
I used to have Driv3r on og xbox and my favorite thing was making replays. I could use the 'edit mode' think it was called. And then when I rewatched my creation I just had to select the mp3 from my xbox hard drive. I'm really sad that I have to post this, because it seems nobody has posted this feature from driv3r. If I ever get an Xbox again then I will record my music videos all over again. I think I honestly probably had 7 of them that were really good and I put them all on video tape. But they're all lost now.
And also the couple that I posted on TH-cam or probably taken down for copyright issues.
I actually really enjoyed Driver 3. Cop cars fly over rivers when you aren't within vision so that they can catch up to you. If you managed to look at them while they were flying they would instantly drop out of the sky into the water. Plus, the movie maker function was pretty fun.
fantastic lookback, i've recently been playing through Vampire masquerade bloodlines again after all the hype for the long awaited sequel.
Dude i was hooked when i realised i could steal a bus! ... "What is this sorcery?" I thought. The giggling 15 year old that was myself proceeded to rip someone out of said bus, give them the good one two and carried on driving within the limits. Stopping at imaginary bus stops picking up imaginary folk, pulling a two hour shift as an imaginary bus driver ... Take me back!
I also have fond memories playing this as a kid. The only reason I played it at all was because it was the only alternative to GTA San Andreas I was allowed to buy for myself.
Playing it today though just reminds me of how much better of a game it could have been.
The music and story really made this game. The missions can be hard as freaking hell.
Hope you're doing alright mate, we don't come here only to see reviews you know
Out of respect for the memory of Anton Yelchin, I'll refrain from making a tasteless joke about running yourself over.
I remember Driv3r fondly because it was the first game I played on the first pc I built. It was already an old game (circa 2013) but I had fun with it, until I got to that mission where you have to chase the girl on a crappy handling car and got frustrated by how many times I failed it. I never played it again
Whenever I visited my grandmother ; i would get my ps2 with this game, gran turismo 3 and tourist trophy to play with my cousin .we mostly played driver3 and take turns completing missions and taking rides. Our favourite was the little fiat and we would just enjoy roaming around in mia might with it.
Hope you feel better soon, thanks for the upload!
