Same!! Now that I'm finally at the age where I've got a car, I try and replicate this especially in multilevel car parks. Just slowly walk up and then drive it like I stole it.
Maz2bi "Games sucks now" aka shit i heard the last ten year before people backtrack and talk about the same shit as "underrated gem" a few years later.
As a 5-6 year old I thought that this intro was real recording ... But today when I look, I see only 3d render .. In any case, it was fun to play these games once. They would have given a more realistic feeling
The absence of dialogue, music, dramatic cuts really adds to the atmosphere ! Even with outdated graphics, still feels real, like a slice of (criminal) life
It's in the style of the 1970s film The Driver starring Ryan O'Neal. Very few words or expressions from the main character. Adopted by Ryan Gosling in the more recent film Drive.
Ditto, even tho Driv3r sucked balls. Great memories of Driver 1. My dad asked me, if it's a video or animated. He was blown away by the graphics of the intro when I showed him.
What's more awesome for a game fire upper? A completely empty car park of no life apart from the drip of water from a leaky guttering pipe... One guy walks amongst the cold metal of the quiet vehicles....picks out a 1968 Mustang hard top, steals it like a professional...all you hear is the sound of the V8..all that it seems is just quiet and it will be an easy boost. Then he runs into the chugging V8 of a Fairmont Police Cruiser...goes silent....FLOOR IT!
As a 20 yo guy that never cries... and watching this from beginning till the end.. i almost dropped one of the nostalgia.. dem sweet sweet childhood memories
Really? Even as a kid I understood it cause he took so long to open the door and did it in a really weird way, why would the cops chase him otherwise as well?
Rule #1 as a driver: allways keep calm and don´t do something stupid. If he just would have kept it together instead off floring the throttle in a carpark with a cop nearby, maybe....just maybe we could have skipped that damn tutorial at basicly the same place. as a kid it was the hardest thing to do but once you did it, you were all prepared for driving in the wildest way possible. loved it....good memories
One of if not thee hardest mission in the game. Once you pass it once you can pass it a million ore times tho and it's all smooth sailing from then on out. Must of cried buckets as a kid before getting past that part. It was so damn hard and I'd be left thinking "Damn, if only I had 5 more secs on the clock" Fire game but it really tugged on my balls with this one.
Everything is done right here. From the ominious dark, half-lit garage to the water dripping from the pipes to the sound of his boots resonating against the concrete...The Mustang, that has the most detail just replaces all those sounds, accomponied by sirens wailing. And yes, I know this is a shot-by-shot recreation of a scene from 'The Driver', but to 12 year old me, it was the most epic thing I'd ever seen.
@venom14offRoad Yeah, it sounds like an original v8. Most cars from the 60s are going to sound pretty good as standard. Hope you can get a Mustang. It would be pretty cool to get one in this colour.
@@lukew8034 oh okay cause I want a engine sound like that the way he took off at 1:41 Sound like monster that why I asked if they sound the same But alright 👌
I used to play this so much back in 2008 lol. Even then it was pretty old lmao. I had it on my ps2, but I didn’t have a memory card, so every time I booted the game up, I’d always get this nostalgic intro. Good times..
It’s so crazy watching this now when I was younger I thought this looked like what games do now. Lol so crazy how when your young you remember things much more vivid then they are
My parents got me and my brother this game when we turned 11 along with the brand new just released PS1. Days and days of playing and trying to beat the skill requirements. So challenging and rewarding.
This I believe was my first ever video game that I got on my Playstation One. this whole intro looked so good and maybe a bit darker than this but I absolutely loved it and still do.
This game was my first game ever i remember it from a guy that reviews driver 1,never thought that the memory will kick in and before i realised,i said to myself"I've seen this intro before" and when i watched the full intro.....it was it...this was the lost game i have been looking for but i didn't knew i was literally watching a review about it.....this intro made love these scenes where the character walks(in a satsifying way) and does his work,this game put me in the high standards of v8deo games,and i am thankful to my dead uncle for making play this game.
Steve Jobs once said that "Imagine a game that's not just like game but more like simulation" This looks like what he was speaking. Pretty realistic for 1999. And he said that in the 80's so he knew where game industry is going. People just played Pacman and shit like that in 80's
@@mathlenih4572 It was difficult because: >The tutorial didn't actually teach you anything >Used car terms like "Slalom" that most kids didn't understand >You weren't told that you had to cut the 180° with the handbrake for it to count >Unless you practiced a lot, the timer was barely enough to do all the things in the list.

The timing for the brake check was always a hard one for me. I could do everything else but the brake check. I always ended up hitting the wall, braking too soon, or not getting enough speed.
the first generation of the mustang was from 64-73 and the second 74-78, that car is either a 67 or 68 hardtop if you look at the front the lights are like pushed in and the backlights aswell
I like how it seems that they used the same models and textures for the parked cars in this intro as they did for the actual traffic cars in-game. Shame you don't get to drive a Mustang in the game though.
The first mission is in this very same parking lot and is one of if not thee hardest mission in the game. Once you pass it one time you can pass it a million more times tho and it's all smooth sailing from then on out. Must of cried buckets as a kid before getting past that part.

The sounds of his shoes tapping the ground always satisfied me as a kid
Literally same asf, just now remembered it so I looked it up lol
i thought I was the only one, that is the "ASMR" for me. :D
Until now sir 😊
same for me lol
Same!! Now that I'm finally at the age where I've got a car, I try and replicate this especially in multilevel car parks. Just slowly walk up and then drive it like I stole it.
I remember watching this back in the day thinking games will never look as good as the videos. Now they look way better.....
But they suck.
They put more time in the video as in the game😂😂
Yup, we have better graphics but we rarely get the complete package of good music, story and gameplay

Been a driver fan ever since.

Facts
The sound of the Mustang's V8 snarl was unforgettable. What a sweet ride! ❤

+Falkor The Luck Dragon™ I don't think he steals it ,it's his own car
+kevin Macarry
He clearly hot wires it. Come on man, use your damn head.
Kill Communists
How could I know that, I was a kid when I played this game
Falkor The Luck Dragon™ that 1968 mustang is a beauty
All I wanna know is why the fuck the cop started chasing him in the first place? There's no way the cop knew that mustang was stolen.
The most satisfying V8 rumble I've ever heard to this very day!
still as good as it used to be
So true !
What's great is that real engine sounds were recorded for the occasion. The noise at 01:40 still gives me chills!
2:51 for me but damn if the V8 starting up doesn't still make me feel the same way as it did when I was a kid.
@theprisoner
Also a fan of that series...! 10/10
Harness this feeling, and protect it. Before you know the green mobsters will all force us all into electric toasters
Time to get a V8 engine
3:07 You wrecked the car, man!!
Hey man, watch the paint!!
HEY MAN! OK!OK!OK!
You Crazay?!
As a 20 yo guy that never cries... and watching this from beginning till the end.. i almost dropped one of the nostalgia.. dem sweet sweet childhood memories
20 years passed.......it seems like thousand years ago to me. The fun i had with this awsome game!!
I never realized as a kid he was actually stealing the car
Same I always thought it was his car
Bro seriously I’m only realizing now
Yeah lol, I realized he was an outlaw but I always thought that was his car.
Really? Even as a kid I understood it cause he took so long to open the door and did it in a really weird way, why would the cops chase him otherwise as well?
@@henrik1743 because many they thought he looks suspicious

M L lol I think he wanted that chase😂
I always thought they recognized him and knew he stole another car

I remember playing this on my psONE, I have got it as a Christmas gift and the first game I played on it was Driver. Great times!
Gabriel Lima I bet that was so awesome. This was my 4th game but having it be the first would’ve made me do a backflip this game rocks
Back when games were simple and really good brings back so many memories

Such an interesting & quiet video piece that is slow paced yet so satisfying to watch & develop as it rises.
This Is my favorite game on Ps1 / PSX
Same!
Driver 2 is one of my favorite games of Ps1.
someone needs to make a live version of this intro
I got a 70 mustang, if my friend comes down with his classic cop car, we’ll try our best 😂
Driver: San Francisco did a live action homage in one of their trailers, but no police car though.
Have you ever watched the 1978 film The Driver? This intro is literally taken from that movie - the whole game is basically a game of that film.
My man, it was done in 1978 ;) it's called Driver, directed by Walter Hill
@@Geral454Fun Fact: if you watch the garage scene when they crash the car, it makes the exact same sound when you crash your car in gameplay
2:14 i like the motor sound on the cop car (on the exact first part)
2020 and this game is still brilliant
The best intro in the history of the intros
Im really not sure how i met this game, i was born in 2005 and the universe wanted me to play it
I spent hours as a kid playing this
I'm very proud to say I come from the same place they created this game - Newcastle, England.
NOSTALGIA!!! This just shows how easy those old cars are t break into. 😉
Also, I have a 70s Ford and the door closing sounds exactly the same!
Question at 1:41 is that Engine is V8 with original exhaust? Right cause I wanna get a mustang same one like the blue one
@venom14offRoad Yeah, it sounds like an original v8. Most cars from the 60s are going to sound pretty good as standard. Hope you can get a Mustang. It would be pretty cool to get one in this colour.
@@lukew8034 oh okay cause I want a engine sound like that the way he took off at 1:41
Sound like monster that why I asked if they sound the same
But alright 👌
Nostalgia sets in😭😭
+mikeminor357 Oh yes !

every time you step into a parking complex underground, you just have to remember this intro lol
I do, I thank my papa rip for buying me most of the games that made my childhood great and fun
Good old days, me playing this with my dad :)
Same man.
It’s so crazy watching this now when I was younger I thought this looked like what games do now. Lol so crazy how when your young you remember things much more vivid then they are
You are right!
My parents got me and my brother this game when we turned 11 along with the brand new just released PS1. Days and days of playing and trying to beat the skill requirements. So challenging and rewarding.
One of the most iconic games of the last gens of PS1
I watched this intro every time as a kid. This was by far my favourite game on Ps1. Man, I miss those days... A remaster of Driver would be awesome
Brings back memories!
The graphics were top of the line at the time, and we spent many hours racing split screen in the empty city.
At nighttime when I’m walking to my car in my underground parking I’m always reminded of Tanner here!
This I believe was my first ever video game that I got on my Playstation One. this whole intro looked so good and maybe a bit darker than this but I absolutely loved it and still do.
This game brings back so many memories to me, I played it for so many hours when I was a kid
The steps and the sound of water droplets is like burned into my brain lol even the mustang as well. Idk why this has stuck with me lmao😂
1999: this is going to be the future of gaming
2020: BrUh
Tellement
I said that when I played Driver 3 and Gta Vice city in 2006. But Watch Dogs has beaten it.
I had this and Driver 2 in about 1999 good times!!
This was basically ASMR before it was even a thing
This game was my first game ever i remember it from a guy that reviews driver 1,never thought that the memory will kick in and before i realised,i said to myself"I've seen this intro before" and when i watched the full intro.....it was it...this was the lost game i have been looking for but i didn't knew i was literally watching a review about it.....this intro made love these scenes where the character walks(in a satsifying way) and does his work,this game put me in the high standards of v8deo games,and i am thankful to my dead uncle for making play this game.
To this day, I can't figure out the police siren used in this clip.
What do you mean
Waiting for SFX to be this good in GTA or GTA styled game.
Still got this game
I still have it too, and fire it up on my ps2 slim whenever I want
I like how the car he steals is the only one that isn't blocky
Engine revs at 2:55
Wow the footsteps at the beginning such a great feeling to hear it again
I love how this needs no music to be badass
2:18 かっこいいのよ
Truly Epic - I grew up playing this game.
This scene comunicates perfectly what the game is about. You are not a superdriver, you are fragile and need to take care of yourself while driving
I could’ve sword this looked more realistic when I was young and first saw it. Lmao
For those years, this game had a amazing intro, and even the game graphics was good. I'm proud to been making a Remake ;)
The Driver Syndicate exist.
Loved this intro as a kid it always brings back memories
Wow! Every now and again nostalgia hits me like a truck. Amazing game
Damn I remember it was around 2001 or 2002 when I got this game brand new for the PC. I've played the shit out of this game since then.
Ah so this is why I love old cars
Still have this game
This scene absolutely scared me when I was playing with the lights off in my room. Nostalgia 🤘🏻

Best game intro ever!
One of the best game intros ever made
i remember the first mission was to make some stunts in the underground parking lot,wasn't easy.
And you realize back in the day vidéo games where much more difficult than contemporary ones...
@@mathlenih4572 It was difficult because:
>The tutorial didn't actually teach you anything

@@zena2239 and don't forget the reverse 180°.
The timing for the brake check was always a hard one for me. I could do everything else but the brake check. I always ended up hitting the wall, braking too soon, or not getting enough speed.
The cop cars engine always reminds me of my dad's 1978 chevy pickup truck so used exactly like it!!💗💗
holy shit nostalgia hits different
When games were made with passion.
Just as intense as the PS1 startup
Even now i know the rhythm and tone of the drops in the beginning off by heart xD
the first generation of the mustang was from 64-73 and the second 74-78, that car is either a 67 or 68 hardtop if you look at the front the lights are like pushed in and the backlights aswell
Mustang II Sweden It's a 67. The 68 had side markers.
Mustang II Sweden Mustangs we’re just Ford Falcons with a different body and stiffer suspension set up same car
It's '68 mustang in the game
@@JohnWick-yh5knit a 67
The sound of the Mustang gives me goosebumps, how beatiful a V8 can sound
That V8 idle from both cars is just 😩😩😩😩🤤🤤🤤🤤
The cops chasing you just like that 😂
The game was realistic
Damn it man old memories 😥
I like how it seems that they used the same models and textures for the parked cars in this intro as they did for the actual traffic cars in-game. Shame you don't get to drive a Mustang in the game though.
2:58 he's totally commanding his craft and that cop's about to eat dust.
20 years later this intro still captivates me like it did when I was a 7 year old
Like only if you are one of these legends who played this as a kid and enjoyed the sound of the footstep too :D
the virgin in-game Dodge St Regis police car vs the chad cutscene Ford Fairmont police car
john tanner is the wheelman for driver games
2:23 Ready, Set, ESCAPE!
The ending is hilarious as always
Fucking CINEMA right here.
dat v8 sound tho!!!!!!
If that doesn’t make you want a ‘67 mustang coupe. Awesome.
Maybe I'll give you a call when I need a ride to the grocery store. Lol. Never forget that. Great times.
It’s funny how a intro to a PS2 game influenced my entire wardrobe.
WOW I bet in 100 years the game graphics will look like this, I thought when seeing this for the 1st time as a 12 year old kid
0:34 "WHAT ARE THOOOOOOOSE"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cowboy boots...
Nothing wrong with them.
NICE STRAWMAN FALLACY PAL gay.
fuck up brokeass mountain
I think that's why in some messages on Tanner's answering machine, there's this guy who calls him "Cowboy".
kek
I Remember this Game I Hope they Make a Remake Sometime in the Future😎👍✌💙💜💖💗
The Driver Syndicate exist.
2:40 ...wait a second ... lightning the car ... tanner had already scratched the car from the start
When I was little, It never occurred to me that he hotwired the car. I just figured the cops were the bad guys.
The first mission is in this very same parking lot and is one of if not thee hardest mission in the game. Once you pass it one time you can pass it a million more times tho and it's all smooth sailing from then on out. Must of cried buckets as a kid before getting past that part. It was so damn hard and I'd be left thinking "Damn, if only I had 5 more secs on the clock" Fire game but it really tugged on my balls with a couple a the mission. 🔥🖌❤🔥🖌🔥🖌❤🔥🖌🔥
Hands down the greatest intro in the video game history other than when i stared in Pokémon yellow of course LOL
Best video game intro ever. Should be remade.
My first PC game. I miss the old times
that mustang sounds good af
The memories
Y porque no diablos manejo el Ford Mustang que roba el conductor al inicio del juego? ono aparece el vehículo 😢
Best V8 rumble ever. I wonder which bigblock car they recorded from ?
