>shitty version of gta with unfun gran tardismo driving
i pity your generation. you have no idea how truly lost you are
Eh not really. Driver is specifically focused on the driving aspect. That's all you really do is go from mission to mission and watch story cutscenes. Driver 2 gave you ability to leave your car but the only real purpose is to find a few secrets in each city and switch cars.
>salmon
I was not a Playstation guy at all but this is the one game I played a shit ton of
What a terrible cover
Still an excellent game. It also fits the kitschy 70s chase movie vibe but zoomers would never get it
Let's pretend you were describing the Japanese cover and not this one filled with obvious digital graphic design telltales and terrible early 2000s visual trends.
Okay OP I'm going to give it a shot. I'll be playing on an absolute craptop with a keyboard so wish me luck
Going to try and unfrick the PC version https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Driver
>10, 12, 16, 25, or 50 FPS caps with an option to turn it off. Game speed increases above 50 FPS in multiples with 50 FPS as a base (for example: runs at 1.2x speed when externally capped to 60 FPS)
oh frick me why
There is a repack already patched on a site called magipack games.
Google it. It's magipack dot games.
Do yourself a favour and get the supreme PC version.
As someone who's played through both the PS1 and PC version, one isn't necessarily better than the other. Just different.
PC version
>less soul
>looks worse
>more annoying police system and radio
>generic stock music they didn't even know how to loop, doesn't change with felony or time of day
>worse car models
>worse effects
>more barren map
But,
>much, much better frame rate
>much, much better car control
>higher resolution
>more traffic variety
>can select different cars/Newcastle in freeroam without gameshark codes
If the PS1 version wasn't such a laggy jank piece of shit it'd be undoubtedly better than the PC version though.
>laggy jank piece of shit
it’s not. it plays fine. you probably play it on a shitty emulator
I've played it bc on PS2 and it sucks balls with the lag. Tried playing years later on Duckstation and made it through the game but hated the car control. It's like there was a massive delay in steering. Tried minimizing the deadzone on my Xbone controller but it was still a sucky experience. PC version of Driver rocked with an Xbone controller though and the game had some of the most precise steering I've felt in a game ever.
it’s not a racing game. it’s designed to be tricky to handle with realistic physics. part of the challenge is not destroying your car before the end of a mission. and part of the fun is crashing into things and seeing the damage. the handling attempts to mimic the actual muscle cars in the game. it’s very effective. the pc version is an abomination
Nah it's not that. The cars feel great to control on PS2 in both Driver 1 and 2 when it isn't too laggy. I can't get over the lag on both games on console. On emulators, PS1 games always feel like dogwater to control with an Xbone controller so I think it was that + the shitty digital steering. Actually I just looked it up and playing Driver 1 on PS1 might be the best way to play it because apparently it's one of the few games that doesn't function correctly when played bc on a PS2.
>much, much better car control
you mean easier aka much less fun.
emulators and fan patches exist to make ps1 version smooth and higher resolution.
It plays okay but it's so goddamn fricking boring
I never beat the tutorial as a kid.
I remember playing Driver 2 on my ps1 as a kid because it reminded me of GTA 3, which I really wanted to play at the time
Very good handling but the missions are repetitive as frick and the police is fricking absurd towards the end. Last mission is entirely luck dependant
I remember having a demo disc of just this game. And then years later learned that you could literally unlock the whole game with a gameshark code.
This was always my least favorite of the main games, but I still put a ton of time into it. Never beat it or Driver 2 though.
It's sad Driver is considered retro
nah man, it’s cool. it means our old games are now more checked out by zoomie nerds. that’s why i made the thread. driver lives now in the cool club of oldies. still have my day one psone disc
