Totally agree, though I played it in the PS1, but Driver 1 on PC is much better... Driver 3 for example I still liked the gameplay, the graphics were pretty damn good back then, but it was all bugged for me, never could really play it that well or enjoy it as much as Driver 1 or Driver 2, but I also liked all that came after Driver 3 however the latest driver even though the gameplay was also good I hated what it had become with powers and strange crap that was never part of the Driver series... Totally miss a new good Driver made like it should have been kinda more like GTA but with the better improved and awesome old driver like gameplay and physics, I really enjoyed the suspension and Driver gameplay.
Grew up playing the PC version many years ago. I recently got into collecting the 6th and generation consoles with PS1 being the only 5th gen exception (will start on N64 soon or later). Just picked up Driver for PS1 and it blew me away the differences. Hell the PS1 version doesn't even have carnage mode!
The Nuclear Brony yes but driver 2 was too much..... it looked ugly as hell and the frame rate came to a crawl at times. The bridge that lifts used to dissappear when close up... ropey as hell.
The Nuclear Brony Imagine If Driver 2 only had 1 disc to play missions without changing discs cause of Undercover mode ( cutscenes were the reason of 2 discs )
Gotta love those PS1 jaggies. Having played the PS1 version first I can say it was a great game for its time. Looking at the PC version though you can see it clearly outclassed the PS1 version in every way. PC ran the game at 800x600 while the PS1 was 320x240.
PlayStation looks way better... just look at how little detail the pc version has.. the back of the cars are just blurs compared to the ps1 you can actually see back lights and the same goes for the front.
Almost every Game is better on ps1 ps2 ps3 until ps4 era than compared to pc they are almost equal look at the effects look at the sun on the ps1 version, on the PC one is missing when I see these stupid comments I'm like what stupidity .Its not all about resolution, textures pixel count ,detail, content gameplay, everything must be accounted to select definitive version
Technically the PC version is far better, particularly in the area of graphics. However I would say that I probably prefer the PS1 version overall. It could be purely nostalgic, but I also think that the city feels more alive on the PS1, and I prefer the music. One may argue that I am a fanboy of the PS1 version, though I went a long time between playing the PS1 version and playing the PC version, and when I played the PC version I didn't realize anything was different. It wasn't until I played the PS1 version again after playing the PC version for quite a while that I realized how different they really are, but I had grown fond of the PC version, so I don't think my thoughts are of PS1 fanboy-ism.
As with the ps2 GTA games, Driver was designed first and foremost with PlayStation in mind. The PC ports, while superior in many ways, are merely byproducts as they lack the final touches added by the creators that were intended to be brought to life, through the playstation.
From what I remember the development team was split at some point during development, one made the PSX version and the other the PC version. This leads to the many differences between both versions like car models, feature differences (PSX didn't feature regular pedestrians at all and no utility vehicles) and many smaller differences in world design.
This game was originally intended for PC only. Maybe for the PS version they chose to redesign the Miami car taking into account the console's resolution (so the taillights would be easier to see) .
Main Improvements with PC over PSX is more traffic variety, better draw distance, higher traffic and pedestrian count. Makes the cities feel much more interesting
Jeez. Is it really a new news that I guess about 70% of cd media games actually had cd-audio?? It was really common. Even like tomb raider had its ambiance sounds as cd-audio. Not as effects.
If you load up a ps1 disc in a PlayStation and then take the game out without turning off the machine then put a music disc in and the music will play while you are playing the game.
CoolDudeClem theres even car selection in take a ride in the pc version after you finish undercover mode in which you can select about 17 cars (theres about 2 secret cars on pc)
What I miss with the original driver was the the broken physics shit lol "both pc and console version had it but It was still different.. pc didnt have that thing that PS1 version had yeah I'm all about PC better graphics, frames and etc but PS1 Driver takes the cake for me" ..... It was so much fun flipping your cars over in survival mode (San Francisco was my favorite) ... cops had insane speed and aggression and you'd purposely try to flip your car and have cop cars ram you full speed and watch them flip into the air.. specially when your car was sliding on its side... all these different angles depending on your speed would cause immense "air hangtime" I had so many replays saved on my PS1 memory cards lol fun times... but most of my "nostalgia" comes from that those times where I was like 7-8 years old playing survival mode trying to trigger these "flipping cars" for countless hours at night....and saving those that had the most insane hangtime or bizzare flips.. man those were fun times!
The crashes were insane but the handling itself beats a lot of modern games which fear to make driving skill a factor and have to compensate with ridiculous stunts ...and then they wonder why driving games got less popular
Some of the best ones were when they'd fly so high that the cars would launch over the buildings and leave the playable area, than they're stuck in the weird infinite skybox road. Driver 1 was my first game, and me, my dad, and my cousins would compete to see how many cops we could yeet into those areas in one survival run. xD
Holy crap! I can't believe the pc version doesn't have like half of the details the PSX version has, the streets are empty, no boxes, no tables, no nothing....
The PC version looks sharper and runs faster no doubt, but the PSX version has a lot more city details like coffee tables, boxes and stuff. You can clearly see that in the video. It comes down to what you prefer more, game rich with details that runs slowly or bare bones game that runs fast.
People dont get that PS1 was US$299. There was no 3Dfx when it was made in 1994. And still to play Driver in 1999 in those detail you would have to spend more than PS1 that was 5 year old tech by than.
I bought a gaming pc in this year and driver came with it, along with heavy metal fakk 2 and unreal tournament. Couldn't believe the difference between pc and playstation versions. Ironically I kept my pc for 3 years and spent an absolute crazy obscene amount of money on it and didn't see any difference over the time span of spending so much just to squeeze a few tweaks. Console gamer ever since.
Esse jogo é muito bom! Joguei demais nas casas de jogos da minha cidade quando era pequeno!! Sempre a versão do PlayStation 1!! Mais a do PC com certeza é mais definida sem serrilhados e aguenta mais carros na tela!! Mais a versão do PS1 é incrível!!
I didn't even know this game was on PC, thanks for the comparison. I played the game on PS1 and loved it. The PC version looks a lot better and looks like it would play better at 60fps instead of the 20fps of the PS1 version.
PS or PC ... both were just great, each on its own. Short after I played Driver on PS I fell in love with the PC version and my computer steering wheel. Take a ride through San Francisco ... hours of fun while listening to music. Although Driver San Francisco is a great game, there's one thing I desperately miss: The old driving physics! Driving in Driver SF appears, as if you're not able to drive one single curve without screeching tires, even slow. The car behaves like a stiff board / sliding through icy conditions without snow or rain. I know, they wanted it to be realistic, but something about the physics seems less realistic than in Driver 1. Only "racing", thus contracting narrow spaces almost to irrelevance, just to stay on the main roads. Over-aggressive police cars as back then we only knew them from the "survival" game mode. No more proper chases without one single scratch. In Driver 1 you had a lot more freedom of control about your own driving (in an aesthetical sense)
Ótimo vídeo comparativo e ótimo jogo!! Estou surpreso, pois sempre achei que drive era exclusivo do ps1! Agora em relação as versões, o PC tem um gráfico mais limpo, e detalhes como o retrovisor que (deve ajudar bastante nas missões), e nisso ele leva o ponto de melhor versão, porém, não posso julgar sem jogar, pra ver se realmente é tão bom como o do ps1!!!! Mas visualmente o do PC parece ser melhor!!
na época, a versão do Pc saiu por aqui na revista 3D GAMER por 15,90, inclusive tenho ele :D mlb-s1-p.mlstatic.com/revista-cd-expert-game-driver-completo-pc-frete-gratis-22385-MLB20229071291_012015-F.jpg
PC wins, obviously. Even though i'm also in Love with the PlayStation. Because i grew up with the console. But I'm still cracking up when the PC was in the bedroom being so actiony but the PSone version was like. "Hooold on, Hooold on Just let me.. J-Just let me.. get to the Car Keys... A-Annnd to the Voicemail." lol
Played this game for hours upon hours shortly after its release on the PS1. Didn't know there was a PC version until a few years ago. Love the PS1 version since its readily available.
Aaah voilà!! J'avais le jeu sur PC quand j'étais môme. J'ai toujours été dépaysé par les extraits de gameplay qui traînent sur le net, car ils ne ressemblaient pas à mes souvenirs, mais je comprends mieux maintenant: la plupart des images qu'on trouve sont issues de la version PS1 qui est manifestement un cran inférieure graphiquement à la version PC. La en voyant les images de gauche je retrouve bien l'image que j'en avais étant gosse. Après j'ai une bonne mémoire visuelle
this is the first time i'm aware there is a pc version and i'm impressed, the car looks so different and the draw distance is absurd for Driver standards. The graphics are outstanding! The sky, water, grass, buildings, everything is better, this game was never meant to be played on a console but even acknowledging that i can't deny that i had a ton of fun playing it on my PS1
I won't argue that the PC version is superior on a technical level by far, but I dunno, to me the lower resolution and blockier car models hold a certain charm for me. And yes, the PS1 version is the one I grew up with, so that might have a large part in that opinion.
On the PC version of DRIVER, traffic on the streets is more varied, but the player's car itself often looks like a slippery piece of soap,but the PS1 version had fewer problems with the player's car.
Driver PC < Driver PS1 IMO. And here are my reasons why: 1) Bandits. While on PS1 they add the challenge factor (especially in "The President's run") on PC they can't drive for shite. Hell, they can flip their cars just by trying to drive STRAIGHT! Seriously? Pathetic. 2) Generally dumber opponents' AI. Evading these cops is like evading a group of angry grannies with broken legs, and (getting a bit off track, but still) it also takes far less effort to wreck them which does not bode well for the challenge factor. 3) Music. Maybe it's just me, but my version of Driver PC (and yes, I downloaded it) didn't have a single track, which is BS considering the fact that PS version had all of them and I liked them a lot. Also, some of the cars (Buick Skylark/Tanner's car in Miami and cop cars in NY) have badly textured front lights. Of course, you can choose your car in "Take a ride" after completing the story mode (PC) instead of looking for special codes (ePSXe) but that's not that big of an advantage of PC version considering all the disadvantages. In summary, graphics-wise Driver PC>Driver PS1, but otherwise Driver PS1>>Driver PC.
The PC version not having a soundtrack is not the games fault, it's the fault of the guy who ripped it and took out the music. The PC game does have a soundtrack, but it is licensed though and is a different one.
i dunno but cops fucking reck me unless i put medium and even then they stick like glue and fucking rubber band and soundtrack is there if you bought original game since it only plays while disc is in your disc writer [sadly that wont work for me since mine doesnt work 9/10 times so i had to pirate it]
I actually liked Driver Parallel Lines more than Driver 3 because driver 3 was all bugged and messed to even be enjoyable and Driver San Francisco still had a good gameplay, but on that one they totally fucked it up making it a whole different very strange game, I fckin hated the powers and crap like that grrrrrr... Totally miss a new Driver properly done like the old ones. And about Resident Evil I actually also liked RES4, RES5, the revelation series, RES7 and the RES2 remake is a totally amazing Resident Evil, I actually like it way more than the original RES2... But Resident Evil 1 was pretty damn good back then, the zombies, spiders and whatever had incredible physics and was a pretty damn well done game contrary to modern zombie booooooring games. I hated RES racoon city, RES6 and a few others on the resident evil series...
First thing I noticed was that in the PC version the ocean looks SOMEHOW like urban concrete jungle while PS hardware emulates and renders it almost perfectly in comparison to even the first 3 Tomb Raider games' water effects. secondly the visuals of the vehicle are not as fleshed out collision-wise and in concept, meaning PS1 gives fuller figure to the models used as main vehicle than PC does. The only problem I have with the game that makes it hard to get into and really appreciate nowadays is that tough as fuck training level in the parking garage, where 3/4 of those tricks you hardly ever have to use again later in the game, sadly....
Back in the days this game was a dream come true as a 90s kid. The freedom to just drive anywhere u want and wreck cars was the best feeling ever! F*ck!
Though i played the psx version more the PC version was far and away the better version of the two. Psx the car looked better IMO but the camera, the map, The draw distance, the details and most notable the frame rate where all better on PC. Plus the thing that really pisses me off still to this day is in the PSX version Traffic would purposefully try to get in front of you... I think the reason they did this was to keep your eyes in front of you so you wouldn't notice the crappy draw distance.
PSX was already shit compared to a moderately priced PC at that time. PCs were using SVGA graphics, maybe more in 2D than in 3D, but with the advent of Quake, PSX and Saturn saw their final days.
I always thought the PC version felt like they polished an early version of the PSX version to the absolute best quality available... Then went and finished the PSX version. So much flourish and minor details are missing from it that it just doesn't feel like a complete game, even though it is the better "looking" and better "playing" one. NFS IV was the same way and around the same time too.
Because nobody has full-wheel hub caps anymore. Driving in a 1976 station wagon we've lost one going around a corner. Not the same as your Prius alloy wheels or plastic covers. Good times..
1 thing I kinda found disappointed in Driver 2 is that they removed the orange side lights to know where you could turn...still overall the game was good
What are we talking about here? PC has double the resolution on those textures, and actual lighting effects. If you think PS looks better you're either blind, or seriously biased, because you probably played the PS1 version when you were young...
I grew up playing the PC version and after playing Driver SF last month (such an underrated gem though) I downloaded the PS1 version to play on my mobile... shit i was BLOWN AWAY by how ugly it looked, in comparison to what I remembered. PC looks better, runs better and is also better to play
I'm actually curious. Which version is actually the objectively superior version gameplay wise? It's not uncommon for old games to have ports running on old versions of a game for some reason leaving in various bugs and possibly even cut content.
I feel like this is one of those examples where higher resolution and cleaner graphics doesn't necessarily do the game any favors. I prefer the Playstation's graphics because it suits the car models better, and hides how basic they are. The PC version does have a much better draw distance which is always welcome, but I think I still prefer the Playstation graphics. I had the PC version back in the day, and I loved it. But I think when I go back to play it again I'll be playing the Playstation version, which will likely also work with fewer headaches.
I prefer the PS1 version - the cars look better. Some city details and textures are absent on the PC version. I prefer the original colours of everything on the PS1 version. Not sure what to think about the rear view mirror on the car view and I don't like the camera being set farther behind the car than in the original. The draw distance is better on the PC version which is nice even though still noticeably bad pop-in. As for the framerate being better on PC which you'd automatically think would be better, somehow the slower framerate on the PS1 compliments the weighty handling of the cars. Sometimes less is more and better left up to the imagination. And then there's the whole nostalgic feeling of the original that stays intact, that can be lost in translation when something is updated.
Your profile pic says it all. The PlayStation version was absolute shit. The slower framerate made it damn near unplayable at times, and the colors look like the contrast was turned up to ultra-high. Everything is washed out and overly bright because the PS1 couldn't handle advanced lighting. And that's not even mentioning the graphics, which look extremely pixilated and jagged. No, the PS1 version is inferior in every single way.
@@SergeantExtreme Yeah I'm a Sony fanboy but I'm trying to not let that get in the way. I remember the framerate having some really awful hits on the PS1 (maybe worse in D2), obviously that's not good but you get what I'm saying above. The cars look better on the PS1, the cars on the PC look like you have vaseline rubbed in your eyes (blurry and looking less detailed?). I understand the PS1 is inferior technically but that's besides my point. The over-saturated colours on the PS1 make the game pop. The jagged edges makes things looks sharper. These things are less realistic but given the technical capabilities of the PS1, it somehow works. It shouldn't make sense but it kind of does. I'm just being honest here. I praised the draw distance of the PC but that doesn't hide the pop-in, and I dislike the rear view mirror on the external view because it doesn't make sense (yes it's more gamey and makes things easier but it adds realism to only have it internally. Rear view mirrors perhaps? (if it had one either side haha). Take Driver San-Francisco for example, technically the game looks much better across all platforms but I still prefer the look of the inferior Driver 1 on PS1. I even preferred the looks of DRIV3R in its early stages compared to the finished product (cough) with more polygons and shinier graphics, it took away the realism of that gritty and rough look. If Driver 1 on the PC looked like the PS1 version and vice versa, I'd say I prefer the PC version but that's not the case!
@@holyboy1 What?!? Jagged edges don't make things look sharper. Anti-aliasing makes things look sharper. The lack of anti-aliasing in the PS1 version makes the graphics look like the game's running on a Commodore 64. As far was why the cars on the PC version look "blurry", if you look very closely (even in this video), you'll see that it's actually the environment and lighting reflecting off the car's paint. Yeah, given I'll admit that it doesn't look all that great, but it's an additional feature the PS1 version didn't have; and they tried their best. If I'm not mistaken, you can turn the rear-view mirror off in the Options menu. I'm not sure I understand your criticism of Driver: San Francisco. That's the most realistic looking Driver in the entire series.
@@SergeantExtreme Most PS1 games had jagged edges. Not to be compared with a C64. I know what anti-aliasing is, it straightens out those jagged edges but what I'm saying is, it's 'edgy' because of them and the PC version has some blurryness/smoothed out textures. I prefer the sharper 'jagged' version. Look at the game 'The Bouncer' on the PS2 - this exaggerates things but yeah, ugly. To me, DSF looked great but I prefer the style of the original Driver games with their film-look style and setting, and the graphics compliment this overall look. DSF is technically leaps and bounds ahead of the originals and probably the most polished in the series but I still prefer the original games. You don't have to try to understand me, it's my personal preference.
I like how you convince yourself that the ps1 version is better, the pc version practically outclasses the ps1 version in everything, -mirror (useful for chases) -odometer (essential not to break the speed) -frame rate -CARS SELECTABLE at the end of the game (this is enough for me to prefer the PC) -additional carnage mode -operable speed limiter I guess you're one of the many who shit on starfield haha...
Eu ainda prefiro a versão do Playstation 1 mesmo os loads sendo bem maiores foi a versão que me divertiu muito nos anos 90 ! A Versão do PC é esmagadoramente superior e com loads muito menores mais que marcou minha infancia foi a do PS1 mesmo !
of course the PC version looks leagues better when it works. Does anybody actually remember PC gaming during this era?? I remember it being very expensive, difficult to deal with, and the controllers sucked. But when it worked, man it was a thing of beauty, not like today when there is not as huge difference between PC and PS4.
Chris Pacheco lens flare is missing I guess due to limitations in the port. Lens flare is unrealistic anyways, as real human eyes do not have a lens flare but instead a “sparkle”
É simples e óbvio, quando o jogo foi criado em 1999 já existia máquina muito mais moderna que o PS1 (desenvolvido em 94) portanto o jogo tem limitações e utiliza a capacidade máxima do PS1. Na versão pra PC reparem que tem retrovisor, os prédios surgem mais longe, a resolução é muito maior, o loading praticamente é muito rápido, etc e etc... Acredito que o original era pra PC.
Eu nem lembrava dessa versão PC. E é interessante ressaltar que boa parte dos grandes clássicos do PSX tinham versões pra PC. Driver, Tomb Raider, Soul Reaver, Metal Gear, Resident Evil e até mesmo o mítico Final Fantasy VII, além de tantos outros. Se fosse hoje em dia, geral ia estar reclamando que não são exclusivos de verdade. Moça, fala sério...cê ia mesmo abandonar o canal? Que tal um esclarecimento da sua parte pros inscritos? Uma explicação sobre aqueles videos com homem gato, catchup e espada também cairiam bem...
acho que os videos são auto explicativos o suficiente para qualquer pessoa de qualquer parte do mundo entender :P a não ser que vcs queiram uma segunda temporada no qual explique melhor os videos através de outros videos xD e quantos aos ports dos grandes clássicos do PSX para o PC, o mesmo acontecia com os grandes clássicos do Saturn que tb eram portados para o PC :P ninguém reclamava da perda de exclusividade para os PC's, pois PC's eram bem mais caros que os consoles, tb não disponibilizavam de acessórios descentes como joystick's.... eram também problemáticos roda-los nas configurações adequadas, sem contar no espaço que o computador tinha q ter para instalar os jogos....
The pc version should look better, but how does the game play compare? Also one needs to take cost into consideration, the ps1 at release was £300, by 1998 it was under £130. A pc back, pre built was £400-900. Or much more depending on spec. Mid 97 early 98 I bought a ex demo hp with a celeron 333, 64 mb ram and a small hdd, built in gpu for around £370-390.
PC version was evidently better, but we are comparing a game running on (at the time) a $150 console vs one running on a $1000 machine with a graphics accelerator, which was another $300. That the PS version was running and close was a significant achievement in itself, remembering that this was an open world game. And most people played it on a PS at the time.
Some of the effects and car models actually look better on the PS1 version, PC definently has it down when it comes to overall graphics though. The physics also seem off somehow on the PC.
I had both versions back in the day... My P.C at the time though with my VooDoo 2 Video card played Driver like the car had been replaced with a horse and cart..........Both Versions are good they both have good and bad points, THIS IS A DRAW THIS TIME.
The radar on PS1 is better, the way it flashes blue and red during chases wasn't too fast, it will also flash white when they suddenly lose you. The radar police cone vision shape on PS1 looks more interesting and scarier especially when they were looking for you. It gives off that true Driver feel to it. Lastly, the Miami car on PS1 looks much better and unique. Other than that, PC is just superior with everything else.
yea the PC version was smoother, and clearer. but PS1 version wins for me cause it just looks more lifelike as was intended by GT. to make it look like an 80s car chase film. I have this game on epsxe. although its not as clear as 1080p but its very close to 720p graphics at 60fps. the emulator ran it better then the ps1 and ps2 and even ps3. the emulated version combined the looks and feel of the ps1 version and the smoothness of pc. but the ps1 version wins for me mainly because of how its lifelike.
A versão do PC surpreende com melhoras gráficas, mais velocidade de jogo e espelho retrovisor, na votação votei tudo no PC; mais não posso deixar de dizer que joguei ele no PS1 e minhas lembranças daqueles belíssimos gráficos veem dai salve PS1 o melhor !!!
bem que o driver (nas 2 primeiras versões) poderia ter para outras plataformas (como dreamcast, game cube e n64). mas ficou exclusivamente no playstation nos consoles. mas a versão de pc do driver arrasou muito bonito!
Aside from the warping, there's something about the grain and noisy look to PlayStation Driver that suits a 70s vibe. The PC version technically looks clean but it's a bit soulless.
Ok so the PC version have better graphic and no loading screen. but the PS1 the car look better and more real than the PC version and the music is better. So overall i think the PS1 win.
I wonder why they never released Driver 2 on PC :/
Somebody's is tinkering with a Unity port though.
really? Where can we find information for that Unity port?
That would have been so good.
Because $$$$
Totally agree, though I played it in the PS1, but Driver 1 on PC is much better... Driver 3 for example I still liked the gameplay, the graphics were pretty damn good back then, but it was all bugged for me, never could really play it that well or enjoy it as much as Driver 1 or Driver 2, but I also liked all that came after Driver 3 however the latest driver even though the gameplay was also good I hated what it had become with powers and strange crap that was never part of the Driver series...
Totally miss a new good Driver made like it should have been kinda more like GTA but with the better improved and awesome old driver like gameplay and physics, I really enjoyed the suspension and Driver gameplay.
_When you play the PC version and they replaced the soundtrack_ *Look how they massacred my boy*
*Cries*
The PC soundtrack is superior in my opinion, and I grew up with the PS1 version. Both are great!
@@FilmSphere Real instruments are cool and all but one song for a city just isn’t enough.
While PC has the full main menu theme and some other great tunes, they get repetitive VERY FAST. I still prefer PS1's tunes overall.
Well, it is on PC so someone can mod it if they like right?

I grew up with the ps1 version so those graphics bring back more memories to me.
i think that this game was pushing the ps1 hardware to the limits
then Driver 2 was released witch was on a whole new ball game. THAT pushed ps1 limits
The Nuclear Brony yes but driver 2 was too much..... it looked ugly as hell and the frame rate came to a crawl at times. The bridge that lifts used to dissappear when close up... ropey as hell.
Driver 2 didn't push it to it's limits, it made the PS1 go over it's limits and shit its pants.
The Nuclear Brony Imagine If Driver 2 only had 1 disc to play missions without changing discs cause of Undercover mode ( cutscenes were the reason of 2 discs )
And it was better than the PC at the time
Gotta love those PS1 jaggies. Having played the PS1 version first I can say it was a great game for its time. Looking at the PC version though you can see it clearly outclassed the PS1 version in every way. PC ran the game at 800x600 while the PS1 was 320x240.

If you load up a ps1 disc in a PlayStation and then take the game out without turning off the machine then put a music disc in and the music will play while you are playing the game.
PC version is better, better frame rate, more draw distance, the color and lighting is better, the PSX version has bad lighting and warping textures.
Yeah but the pc version doesn' have any of the details of the ps1 version, the city looks empty as hell, no tables, boxes, chairs, nothing!
PC version had "carnage" your argument is invalid.

What I miss with the original driver was the the broken physics shit lol "both pc and console version had it but It was still different.. pc didnt have that thing that PS1 version had yeah I'm all about PC better graphics, frames and etc but PS1 Driver takes the cake for me" ..... It was so much fun flipping your cars over in survival mode (San Francisco was my favorite) ... cops had insane speed and aggression and you'd purposely try to flip your car and have cop cars ram you full speed and watch them flip into the air.. specially when your car was sliding on its side... all these different angles depending on your speed would cause immense "air hangtime" I had so many replays saved on my PS1 memory cards lol fun times... but most of my "nostalgia" comes from that those times where I was like 7-8 years old playing survival mode trying to trigger these "flipping cars" for countless hours at night....and saving those that had the most insane hangtime or bizzare flips.. man those were fun times!
The crashes were insane but the handling itself beats a lot of modern games which fear to make driving skill a factor and have to compensate with ridiculous stunts ...and then they wonder why driving games got less popular
Some of the best ones were when they'd fly so high that the cars would launch over the buildings and leave the playable area, than they're stuck in the weird infinite skybox road. Driver 1 was my first game, and me, my dad, and my cousins would compete to see how many cops we could yeet into those areas in one survival run. xD
The nostalgia is killing me right now! 😁
:D
Welcome back i knew you could do it, keep pressing continue.
Holy crap! I can't believe the pc version doesn't have like half of the details the PSX version has, the streets are empty, no boxes, no tables, no nothing....
PC was way better that weight of ur car when you drift was insane
Milos Misic no Starbucks coffee either😱😨😨🙄
"PlayStation 1 version is better because i grew up wit tha system"
95% of the viewers, commentators, and PlayStation fanboys watching this!
The PC version looks sharper and runs faster no doubt, but the PSX version has a lot more city details like coffee tables, boxes and stuff. You can clearly see that in the video. It comes down to what you prefer more, game rich with details that runs slowly or bare bones game that runs fast.
PC version is better!!
you guys prefer 20fps and coffee tables over 60fps? ok
You guys have nothing better to do besides arguing about which version is better?
Tony Horo exactly
People dont get that PS1 was US$299. There was no 3Dfx when it was made in 1994. And still to play Driver in 1999 in those detail you would have to spend more than PS1 that was 5 year old tech by than.
Driver PC has a better framerate cap, render distance, and resolution, but Driver PS1 feels more alive and exciting in an extent
lol
@@AlbertRei3424 lol
I bought a gaming pc in this year and driver came with it, along with heavy metal fakk 2 and unreal tournament. Couldn't believe the difference between pc and playstation versions. Ironically I kept my pc for 3 years and spent an absolute crazy obscene amount of money on it and didn't see any difference over the time span of spending so much just to squeeze a few tweaks. Console gamer ever since.
When a dedicated hardware makes the difference
3:22 MY GOD! THAT MUSİC.......MEMORİES :(
versión pc que suavidad y gráficos de lujo, versión psx es mi infanciaaa. buen video
Esse jogo é muito bom! Joguei demais nas casas de jogos da minha cidade quando era pequeno!! Sempre a versão do PlayStation 1!! Mais a do PC com certeza é mais definida sem serrilhados e aguenta mais carros na tela!! Mais a versão do PS1 é incrível!!
I didn't even know this game was on PC, thanks for the comparison. I played the game on PS1 and loved it. The PC version looks a lot better and looks like it would play better at 60fps instead of the 20fps of the PS1 version.
PS or PC ... both were just great, each on its own. Short after I played Driver on PS I fell in love with the PC version and my computer steering wheel. Take a ride through San Francisco ... hours of fun while listening to music. Although Driver San Francisco is a great game, there's one thing I desperately miss: The old driving physics! Driving in Driver SF appears, as if you're not able to drive one single curve without screeching tires, even slow. The car behaves like a stiff board / sliding through icy conditions without snow or rain. I know, they wanted it to be realistic, but something about the physics seems less realistic than in Driver 1. Only "racing", thus contracting narrow spaces almost to irrelevance, just to stay on the main roads. Over-aggressive police cars as back then we only knew them from the "survival" game mode. No more proper chases without one single scratch. In Driver 1 you had a lot more freedom of control about your own driving (in an aesthetical sense)
Ótimo vídeo comparativo e ótimo jogo!! Estou surpreso, pois sempre achei que drive era exclusivo do ps1! Agora em relação as versões, o PC tem um gráfico mais limpo, e detalhes como o retrovisor que (deve ajudar bastante nas missões), e nisso ele leva o ponto de melhor versão, porém, não posso julgar sem jogar, pra ver se realmente é tão bom como o do ps1!!!! Mas visualmente o do PC parece ser melhor!!
na época, a versão do Pc saiu por aqui na revista 3D GAMER por 15,90, inclusive tenho ele :D mlb-s1-p.mlstatic.com/revista-cd-expert-game-driver-completo-pc-frete-gratis-22385-MLB20229071291_012015-F.jpg
Que massa!!!!!
PC wins, obviously. Even though i'm also in Love with the PlayStation. Because i grew up with the console. But I'm still cracking up when the PC was in the bedroom being so actiony but the PSone version was like. "Hooold on, Hooold on Just let me.. J-Just let me.. get to the Car Keys... A-Annnd to the Voicemail." lol
I love both versions. Both versions have great music with PC obviously looking much better.
Played this on PC way back when it first came out, so many memories. Sadly never had a PSX or PSone.
*Sempre me pergunto porque não lançaram o Driver 2 no PC, com certeza ficaria lindo e teria potencial para diversos tweaks gráficos.*
Hoje existe o redriver2 que é uma versão remasterizada feita por fãs.
@@chimbinhaometalao5050 e ficou boa.
Played this game for hours upon hours shortly after its release on the PS1. Didn't know there was a PC version until a few years ago. Love the PS1 version since its readily available.
And the sound of collisions like in the Driver movie;) Pure car chasing without guns :)
Aaah voilà!!
J'avais le jeu sur PC quand j'étais môme. J'ai toujours été dépaysé par les extraits de gameplay qui traînent sur le net, car ils ne ressemblaient pas à mes souvenirs, mais je comprends mieux maintenant: la plupart des images qu'on trouve sont issues de la version PS1 qui est manifestement un cran inférieure graphiquement à la version PC. La en voyant les images de gauche je retrouve bien l'image que j'en avais étant gosse.
Après j'ai une bonne mémoire visuelle
pareil
this is the first time i'm aware there is a pc version and i'm impressed, the car looks so different and the draw distance is absurd for Driver standards. The graphics are outstanding! The sky, water, grass, buildings, everything is better, this game was never meant to be played on a console but even acknowledging that i can't deny that i had a ton of fun playing it on my PS1
It's just a pity there are fewer loose objects and more concrete bollards in the PC version.
water is way worse, even skybox is kinda scuffed on PC, but that's just me
I've always loved that opening cutscene cuz it reminds me of the scene from the original Terminator from 1984!
I loved this on PlayStation. PC version definitely seems to have better frame rate.
I won't argue that the PC version is superior on a technical level by far, but I dunno, to me the lower resolution and blockier car models hold a certain charm for me. And yes, the PS1 version is the one I grew up with, so that might have a large part in that opinion.
I have vague memories of playing this on PC where I edited a config file and made the cars go 300mph 😁
On the PC version of DRIVER, traffic on the streets is more varied, but the player's car itself often looks like a slippery piece of soap,but the PS1 version had fewer problems with the player's car.
I still have a living PS1 with Driver 1 and 2 "Back On The Streets" (not scam).
better than GTA V
If you're blind.....
Certainly has better driving physics and suspension than GTA V.
Anything is better than GTAV
Driver PC < Driver PS1 IMO. And here are my reasons why:
1) Bandits. While on PS1 they add the challenge factor (especially in "The President's run") on PC they can't drive for shite. Hell, they can flip their cars just by trying to drive STRAIGHT! Seriously? Pathetic.
2) Generally dumber opponents' AI. Evading these cops is like evading a group of angry grannies with broken legs, and (getting a bit off track, but still) it also takes far less effort to wreck them which does not bode well for the challenge factor.
3) Music. Maybe it's just me, but my version of Driver PC (and yes, I downloaded it) didn't have a single track, which is BS considering the fact that PS version had all of them and I liked them a lot.
Also, some of the cars (Buick Skylark/Tanner's car in Miami and cop cars in NY) have badly textured front lights.
Of course, you can choose your car in "Take a ride" after completing the story mode (PC) instead of looking for special codes (ePSXe) but that's not that big of an advantage of PC version considering all the disadvantages.
In summary, graphics-wise Driver PC>Driver PS1, but otherwise Driver PS1>>Driver PC.
The PC version not having a soundtrack is not the games fault, it's the fault of the guy who ripped it and took out the music. The PC game does have a soundtrack, but it is licensed though and is a different one.
i dunno but cops fucking reck me unless i put medium and even then they stick like glue and fucking rubber band
and soundtrack is there if you bought original game since it only plays while disc is in your disc writer [sadly that wont work for me since mine doesnt work 9/10 times so i had to pirate it]
What do Driver and Resident Evil have in common?
..
They were alive till 3
I actually liked Driver Parallel Lines more than Driver 3 because driver 3 was all bugged and messed to even be enjoyable and Driver San Francisco still had a good gameplay, but on that one they totally fucked it up making it a whole different very strange game, I fckin hated the powers and crap like that grrrrrr... Totally miss a new Driver properly done like the old ones.
And about Resident Evil I actually also liked RES4, RES5, the revelation series, RES7 and the RES2 remake is a totally amazing Resident Evil, I actually like it way more than the original RES2... But Resident Evil 1 was pretty damn good back then, the zombies, spiders and whatever had incredible physics and was a pretty damn well done game contrary to modern zombie booooooring games.
I hated RES racoon city, RES6 and a few others on the resident evil series...
guily6669 Specially during Vercetty cheat chasing trucks in Miami during an wanted felony bar the game just freeze there lol
But RE4 was the Peak of the series tho...
It looked so good on my friend's PC back then, I only had a PS1. :-(
First thing I noticed was that in the PC version the ocean looks SOMEHOW like urban concrete jungle while PS hardware emulates and renders it almost perfectly in comparison to even the first 3 Tomb Raider games' water effects. secondly the visuals of the vehicle are not as fleshed out collision-wise and in concept, meaning PS1 gives fuller figure to the models used as main vehicle than PC does. The only problem I have with the game that makes it hard to get into and really appreciate nowadays is that tough as fuck training level in the parking garage, where 3/4 of those tricks you hardly ever have to use again later in the game, sadly....
Back in the days this game was a dream come true as a 90s kid. The freedom to just drive anywhere u want and wreck cars was the best feeling ever! F*ck!
Wow-All those FPS from the CPU makes this game play so much nicer..
Though i played the psx version more the PC version was far and away the better version of the two. Psx the car looked better IMO but the camera, the map, The draw distance, the details and most notable the frame rate where all better on PC. Plus the thing that really pisses me off still to this day is in the PSX version Traffic would purposefully try to get in front of you... I think the reason they did this was to keep your eyes in front of you so you wouldn't notice the crappy draw distance.
thanks for this channel, one of the best channels ever created, also, i live this game
love*
^^ xD
Ae finalmente voltou linda.Ainda bem tem um monte de comparação q eu quero ver
Loved this game. Weird that they only included one car sound and no soundtrack in the pc version. Also a terrible shame part 2 never made it to PC...
PC version has a soundtrack my man but not like the PS1 version its a tottal new one
@@hiimpubg360 never heard it!
PSX was already shit compared to a moderately priced PC at that time. PCs were using SVGA graphics, maybe more in 2D than in 3D, but with the advent of Quake, PSX and Saturn saw their final days.
The PC version looks way smoother.
But the PS version looks better
@@joeshuge Where does it look better?
@@leruty open your fucking eyes, and watch the video.
@@joeshuge A bit too rude
@@leruty then don't make dumb comments.
ironically is easier to emulate the PS1 version than to install and patch the PC version, when you want to play this game on a PC
I always thought the PC version felt like they polished an early version of the PSX version to the absolute best quality available... Then went and finished the PSX version. So much flourish and minor details are missing from it that it just doesn't feel like a complete game, even though it is the better "looking" and better "playing" one. NFS IV was the same way and around the same time too.
Can you give some examples (other than the broken music).
@@C.I... The PlayStation version had more breakables (such as chairs, tables, construction cones, boxes, barrels, etc.).
these graphics pushed ps1 to it's limits, but then again we can't compare it with pc more advanced graphics
wow you can lose your wheel cap @ 7:53, why isn't this possible in gta 5? :D
Fendera because there are no wheel caps on GTA 5.
there are in every game... technicaly
but only driver ever really did allow you to losse them.
not counting in dr1v3r (driver 3)
Because nobody has full-wheel hub caps anymore. Driving in a 1976 station wagon we've lost one going around a corner. Not the same as your Prius alloy wheels or plastic covers. Good times..
1 thing I kinda found disappointed in Driver 2 is that they removed the orange side lights to know where you could turn...still overall the game was good
The dynamic lighting in the PC version really is a disadvantage in that carpark level.
What are we talking about here?
PC has double the resolution on those textures, and actual lighting effects. If you think PS looks better you're either blind, or seriously biased, because you probably played the PS1 version when you were young...
I grew up playing the PC version and after playing Driver SF last month (such an underrated gem though) I downloaded the PS1 version to play on my mobile... shit i was BLOWN AWAY by how ugly it looked, in comparison to what I remembered.
PC looks better, runs better and is also better to play
To be honest. The roughness and lower framerate on ps1 makes the game more feel like a movie
Pc is much smoother looking, ps1 looks chunky and blocky in comparison
I'm actually curious. Which version is actually the objectively superior version gameplay wise? It's not uncommon for old games to have ports running on old versions of a game for some reason leaving in various bugs and possibly even cut content.
I feel like this is one of those examples where higher resolution and cleaner graphics doesn't necessarily do the game any favors. I prefer the Playstation's graphics because it suits the car models better, and hides how basic they are. The PC version does have a much better draw distance which is always welcome, but I think I still prefer the Playstation graphics.
I had the PC version back in the day, and I loved it. But I think when I go back to play it again I'll be playing the Playstation version, which will likely also work with fewer headaches.
Low key, ps1 is my choice cuz the looks and feel, but the test Mission on the PC version really the grasped that dark and Speedy vibe
Retro gaming takin to a whole new level
I prefer the PS1 version - the cars look better. Some city details and textures are absent on the PC version. I prefer the original colours of everything on the PS1 version. Not sure what to think about the rear view mirror on the car view and I don't like the camera being set farther behind the car than in the original. The draw distance is better on the PC version which is nice even though still noticeably bad pop-in. As for the framerate being better on PC which you'd automatically think would be better, somehow the slower framerate on the PS1 compliments the weighty handling of the cars. Sometimes less is more and better left up to the imagination. And then there's the whole nostalgic feeling of the original that stays intact, that can be lost in translation when something is updated.
Your profile pic says it all. The PlayStation version was absolute shit. The slower framerate made it damn near unplayable at times, and the colors look like the contrast was turned up to ultra-high. Everything is washed out and overly bright because the PS1 couldn't handle advanced lighting. And that's not even mentioning the graphics, which look extremely pixilated and jagged. No, the PS1 version is inferior in every single way.
@@SergeantExtreme Yeah I'm a Sony fanboy but I'm trying to not let that get in the way. I remember the framerate having some really awful hits on the PS1 (maybe worse in D2), obviously that's not good but you get what I'm saying above. The cars look better on the PS1, the cars on the PC look like you have vaseline rubbed in your eyes (blurry and looking less detailed?). I understand the PS1 is inferior technically but that's besides my point. The over-saturated colours on the PS1 make the game pop. The jagged edges makes things looks sharper. These things are less realistic but given the technical capabilities of the PS1, it somehow works. It shouldn't make sense but it kind of does. I'm just being honest here. I praised the draw distance of the PC but that doesn't hide the pop-in, and I dislike the rear view mirror on the external view because it doesn't make sense (yes it's more gamey and makes things easier but it adds realism to only have it internally. Rear view mirrors perhaps? (if it had one either side haha). Take Driver San-Francisco for example, technically the game looks much better across all platforms but I still prefer the look of the inferior Driver 1 on PS1. I even preferred the looks of DRIV3R in its early stages compared to the finished product (cough) with more polygons and shinier graphics, it took away the realism of that gritty and rough look. If Driver 1 on the PC looked like the PS1 version and vice versa, I'd say I prefer the PC version but that's not the case!
@@holyboy1 What?!? Jagged edges don't make things look sharper. Anti-aliasing makes things look sharper. The lack of anti-aliasing in the PS1 version makes the graphics look like the game's running on a Commodore 64.
As far was why the cars on the PC version look "blurry", if you look very closely (even in this video), you'll see that it's actually the environment and lighting reflecting off the car's paint. Yeah, given I'll admit that it doesn't look all that great, but it's an additional feature the PS1 version didn't have; and they tried their best.
If I'm not mistaken, you can turn the rear-view mirror off in the Options menu.
I'm not sure I understand your criticism of Driver: San Francisco. That's the most realistic looking Driver in the entire series.
@@SergeantExtreme Most PS1 games had jagged edges. Not to be compared with a C64. I know what anti-aliasing is, it straightens out those jagged edges but what I'm saying is, it's 'edgy' because of them and the PC version has some blurryness/smoothed out textures. I prefer the sharper 'jagged' version. Look at the game 'The Bouncer' on the PS2 - this exaggerates things but yeah, ugly. To me, DSF looked great but I prefer the style of the original Driver games with their film-look style and setting, and the graphics compliment this overall look. DSF is technically leaps and bounds ahead of the originals and probably the most polished in the series but I still prefer the original games. You don't have to try to understand me, it's my personal preference.
I like how you convince yourself that the ps1 version is better, the pc version practically outclasses the ps1 version in everything,
-mirror (useful for chases)
-odometer (essential not to break the speed)
-frame rate
-CARS SELECTABLE at the end of the game (this is enough for me to prefer the PC)
-additional carnage mode
-operable speed limiter
I guess you're one of the many who shit on starfield haha...
Driver on PC had vans on the road. Clearly the better game. WHERE'S YOUR VANS PLAYSTATION????
AMURICA
jk
this guy knows XD
Eu ainda prefiro a versão do Playstation 1 mesmo os loads sendo bem maiores foi a versão que me divertiu muito nos anos 90 ! A Versão do PC é esmagadoramente superior e com loads muito menores mais que marcou minha infancia foi a do PS1 mesmo !
of course the PC version looks leagues better when it works. Does anybody actually remember PC gaming during this era?? I remember it being very expensive, difficult to deal with, and the controllers sucked. But when it worked, man it was a thing of beauty, not like today when there is not as huge difference between PC and PS4.
PC off course it's running the game with more hardware acceleration, albeit strangely missing some effects like lense flare for some reason
Chris Pacheco lens flare is missing I guess due to limitations in the port. Lens flare is unrealistic anyways, as real human eyes do not have a lens flare but instead a “sparkle”
Wait, driver 1 had a PC version ?
É simples e óbvio, quando o jogo foi criado em 1999 já existia máquina muito mais moderna que o PS1 (desenvolvido em 94) portanto o jogo tem limitações e utiliza a capacidade máxima do PS1. Na versão pra PC reparem que tem retrovisor, os prédios surgem mais longe, a resolução é muito maior, o loading praticamente é muito rápido, etc e etc... Acredito que o original era pra PC.
Eu nem lembrava dessa versão PC. E é interessante ressaltar que boa parte dos grandes clássicos do PSX tinham versões pra PC.
Driver, Tomb Raider, Soul Reaver, Metal Gear, Resident Evil e até mesmo o mítico Final Fantasy VII, além de tantos outros. Se fosse hoje em dia, geral ia estar reclamando que não são exclusivos de verdade.
Moça, fala sério...cê ia mesmo abandonar o canal? Que tal um esclarecimento da sua parte pros inscritos? Uma explicação sobre aqueles videos com homem gato, catchup e espada também cairiam bem...
acho que os videos são auto explicativos o suficiente para qualquer pessoa de qualquer parte do mundo entender :P a não ser que vcs queiram uma segunda temporada no qual explique melhor os videos através de outros videos xD
e quantos aos ports dos grandes clássicos do PSX para o PC, o mesmo acontecia com os grandes clássicos do Saturn que tb eram portados para o PC :P
ninguém reclamava da perda de exclusividade para os PC's, pois PC's eram bem mais caros que os consoles, tb não disponibilizavam de acessórios descentes como joystick's.... eram também problemáticos roda-los nas configurações adequadas, sem contar no espaço que o computador tinha q ter para instalar os jogos....
Ahhhhhh...........................................................................ok... ^^'
I think the PS1 version is better, the music and view is better
The pc version should look better, but how does the game play compare? Also one needs to take cost into consideration, the ps1 at release was £300, by 1998 it was under £130. A pc back, pre built was £400-900. Or much more depending on spec. Mid 97 early 98 I bought a ex demo hp with a celeron 333, 64 mb ram and a small hdd, built in gpu for around £370-390.
ON NO, THE UNDERGROUND PARKING LOT STAGE! IT'S TRIGGERING MY PTSD!!!
well of course back in these days PC always stayed looking better then home consoles
Dreamcast was always giving pc a run for it
Yeah I remember playing Silver on Dreamcast that was on PC as well. It looked better on Dreamcast to me
Most computers couldn't do special graphical tricks or 60FPS yet.
The PS1 was a freaking beast in 3D.
Lose the tail man!
PC version was evidently better, but we are comparing a game running on (at the time) a $150 console vs one running on a $1000 machine with a graphics accelerator, which was another $300. That the PS version was running and close was a significant achievement in itself, remembering that this was an open world game.
And most people played it on a PS at the time.
I love the game but hate the tutorials on it.
People just think some games have redundant tutorials. Driver has the worst. 😂
I always thought it was funny they didn't model an exit for that car park. They could have blocked it off with gates or something....
Only thing I don't like about PC version is how the Miami car looks, looks way better on the PS1 version.
I hered, they had to chance the car models due to problems with the light positions. Indicators and all.
I'd like to know where you heard that. Sounds interesting.
Some of the effects and car models actually look better on the PS1 version, PC definently has it down when it comes to overall graphics though. The physics also seem off somehow on the PC.
I had both versions back in the day... My P.C at the time though with my VooDoo 2 Video card played Driver like the car had been replaced with a horse and cart..........Both Versions are good they both have good and bad points, THIS IS A DRAW THIS TIME.
The radar on PS1 is better, the way it flashes blue and red during chases wasn't too fast, it will also flash white when they suddenly lose you. The radar police cone vision shape on PS1 looks more interesting and scarier especially when they were looking for you. It gives off that true Driver feel to it.
Lastly, the Miami car on PS1 looks much better and unique. Other than that, PC is just superior with everything else.
yea the PC version was smoother, and clearer. but PS1 version wins for me cause it just looks more lifelike as was intended by GT. to make it look like an 80s car chase film. I have this game on epsxe. although its not as clear as 1080p but its very close to 720p graphics at 60fps. the emulator ran it better then the ps1 and ps2 and even ps3. the emulated version combined the looks and feel of the ps1 version and the smoothness of pc. but the ps1 version wins for me mainly because of how its lifelike.
PSX´s "Just milk" banner wins it for me.
The smoothness of the car on PC compared to PS1 reminds me of PS1 vs PSP.
The car and a few of the environment textures amazingly look way better on the PlayStation version, but everything else is better on the PC version.
3:18 The DRIVER logo on the PC was on my PS1 version so different countries versions ?
Yes, that's the PAL logo.
A versão do PC surpreende com melhoras gráficas, mais velocidade de jogo e espelho retrovisor, na votação votei tudo no PC; mais não posso deixar de dizer que joguei ele no PS1 e minhas lembranças daqueles belíssimos gráficos veem dai salve PS1 o melhor !!!
bem que o driver (nas 2 primeiras versões) poderia ter para outras plataformas (como dreamcast, game cube e n64). mas ficou exclusivamente no playstation nos consoles.
mas a versão de pc do driver arrasou muito bonito!
Aside from the warping, there's something about the grain and noisy look to PlayStation Driver that suits a 70s vibe. The PC version technically looks clean but it's a bit soulless.
I played the PS1 version but i would really like to play the PC version for its better framerate and Vans :D
I grew up with the PC Port but tbh I like the PS1 version over it
Maybe I’ll give you a call when I need a ride to the grocery store!
Hilarious
Ok so the PC version have better graphic and no loading screen. but the PS1 the car look better and more real than the PC version and the music is better. So overall i think the PS1 win.
Are you sure the car looks better on PS1?
***** The first car which to car you drive is more clear than the one on PC you could see that back light on it.
Agreed.
I think PC version was much better smooth, but in appearance, the cars looked better on PSX.
*****
I'm being specific about what looks better on psx, the cars. Everything else I'd go with PC.
+neogeomaster I can run it at 1024*768 on my 1998 PC ^^
The voodoo 3dfx (PC ) boards made me feel like throwing the PS1 in the trash can. The difference was abysmal.
