I grew up on this game :)

The driving is meant to be a bit floaty because it was designed after legendary chase scenes in older movies, where cars would slide easily and let off much more smoke than realistic. Drive it with the sliding in mind and it all makes sense

Driver San Francisco may be a love letter from Reflections to their beloved franchise. After years of them trying to make Driver like GTA, they decided to make the latest Driver go back to its old style: driving, no guns just driving, and I loved it especially when they decided to use licensed cars instead of fictional cars to make the city of San Francisco stand out.

except that those cars are partly the reason why you cant play it anymore

The "loose" driving feel is the whole point - if you change your mindset to imagine your in an old school car chase movie and driving as such, you can understand why it's about sliding around corners instead of doing a racing line.

At 3:08 that thing is a McLaren F1, it used to be the fastest car in the world, and it's still the fastest within its category of naturally aspirated cars. Hope that helps :)

I’ve heard of this game but I never knew anything about the story or insanely unique mechanics. I’m gonna look for this!

I disagree that the Driving mechanic is not great . Imo this game has one of the best Driving mechanics I've seen in a game. The cars only loose control if you get cocky on your own, Drifting is more skill based as you can't just speed up and drift immediately instead you have to slow down before approaching a corner and then drift and fight to take back control. And also when you're normally driving, sometimes you spin out of control and then you can slow down again and fight to take back control. Tl;dr Not every out of control scenario can be solved by just speeding. It's a lot more skill based that you need to learn a little and that's what makes it so good

I love D:SF so darned much. The handling is tailored to be reminiscent of 70's classic chase films, where cars skid through junctions and pull sick jumps and other stunts on the regular. Yes it's not a handling system for everyone, but it's not only super satisfying to hit a smooth slide through sweeping turns... YOU CAN ALSO DRIFT ANYTHING. Semi-truck? Swing that trailer like it's a wrecking ball. Tough but so satisfying.

Guy who played a good amount of DSF online here almost a decade ago, driving has never been perfected in almost every Ubisoft game. This is just not a surprise anymore, but I will say it was worth an exception considering the handling here helped increase the skill ceiling of the online dramatically on top of the shift ability during its prime. I will not lie though. Like most singleplayer Ubisoft games with tacked on multiplayer modes, the online was not without flaws-but it still took a substantial amount of skill at its core. It… well ‘was’ a very necessary evil to keep the odd vehicle handling the way it is.

Me and my friend used to play the lobby of this game rather than the races. It used to have this car drive around the map and it as unstoppable, so me and my friend made this huge roadblocks with the shift mechanic just to watch dozens of cars get flung across into the sky and across the map. Used to love doing that.

I am so happy people are still finding and playing this game! I been playing since day 1 and own copies for PlayStation and Xbox!! Thank you for this video I love it and earn you a subscriber!

Never played the game but heard good things about it. I’m so glad I found your channel. I know a lot of people share my love for achievement hunting but the way you talk about it and edit your videos just deeply resonates with me. Keep up the good work.

I appreciate the fact that these achievements hunting videos take time but dam I want more! Another great video

Always love seeing more content on this masterpiece of a game which I played way too much in my teenage years.

I grew up in the 90s with original Driver then this version Driver San Fran is epic and still play weekly

i love this game very dearly, thank you so much for covering it, it never gets enough love 💕

I think this game is pretty innovative and severely underrated.

That Dream Drop Distance bit GOT me so bad, honestly what my mind was going to lol

My first experience with this game was as a kid, I played parallel lines on the wii quite a bit and the cover intrigued me, so I got it with like birthday money or something and played it. And I think I play it once every 3 years now at least, and its starting to feel like im overdue for a playthrough lol, love this game.

Still have this game. Played it a few times. Final mission is so weird af. I remember being so stoned and driving the car from the perspective of the person that is chasing me. Overall it was the best driver game imo. Let's not pretend like driver 3 and parallel lines were that great.

I remember getting an xbox 360 copy after watching a Nerd^3 (NerdCubed) video on it. It was super fun, I'm not a fan of solely driving games, but the mechanics and the story actually made me enjoy it. I think I still have the case and disc lying around somewhere.

Its one of my Favorite Games. I even Love the Handling. Hopefully there will BE a remaster, or a new driver

Driving games like this deserve so much more credit, I recently just played this game again after not being able to play it for years due to my ps3 breaking down and it felt so nostalgic and is still as fun as it was years ago.

“Tanner just goes back into his coma” Because that’s a thing ! Ack it’s Wednesday, screw this I’m going into a coma. Cya in October!

Drive San Francisco driving physics were so much fun for drifting and the tire smoke was next level satisfying

This was a great game. Genius game mechanic that you could exit your body and jump into any other driver/car. If you where chasing a car you could setup all kinds of road blocks and crashes on the fly.

Another great game completed and another great video to watch :)

I've seen that one mission where you control your car from a chasing car POV in another video essay as a unique example of "2nd person view" in a game. I really really want to play this game.

Non-car enthusiasts need to experience this game. It truly is an adventure open world game that just uses cars as it's storytelling method as opposed to a freeroaming character. Because of it's shift ability and easy-to-learn physics, it's a great game for the non racing gamer to play. Driving well isn't as important as strategically putting the cars in the map where you need them to be to benefit you. There's no upgrading involved so you don't need to understand how cars work or what performance parts do what. All you need to do is immerse yourself in the story and experience a gameplay style no other game has tried before.

I honestly love the driving in this game. very satisfying and fun (to me at least)

I started to play this game on PS3 two weeks ago.. When I was kid I couldnt afford it. But now.. :D I have collectors edition on Xbox/PC. PC version which I bought recently is still sealed(about 60€?). After 10 hours of playing Iˇm still enjoying this game, but you can see how easy it is instead of Driver 2, which was pain.. Thanks for the video. Have a nice day

The shift mechanic is almost exact like the one from battlefield 2 modern combat. One of my favorite games back then 😊

It's funny, this game is ridiculously hard to find for PC, yet its a piece of cake for console. Most gaming stores that sell xbox 360 games sell it, and it's backwards compatible on the new Xbox Series consoles.

Great watch, came from Tiktok! Thank you for the video. Excited to see your channel blow up even more!

Aw man i love this game. Shifting mechanic is surprising and i hate it at first because i didnt expect this game to be "supernatural". But once i get the hang of it i come to love it very much.

This video is awesome StrayDog!

Love this series.

The driving was together with Driveclub the best driving i have ever seen in arcade racing games

Man, I love this game, such a brilliant and unique game. And I like how by the end of the game, if you try to shift in the real world, Tanner will say that he can't shift since he's no longer in a coma, a very nice touch of detail. Sad that the game is no longer for purchase on digital stores if I didn't remember wrongly due to lincensing issues, but SteamUnlocked is your friend.

When I saw the first perspective switch my brain was like " oh so this games kinda like a heist game where the change of perspectives is meant to represent people following specific tasks that delay police or other opponents ect ect." that's a fun way to explain away a fun game mechanic. I was not expecting that the main character was possessing people to make those choices.

I was incredibly lucky to actually have this game on ps3. I loved it and played the single player to a 100% sadly none of my friends had it and the lobbies were empty so o never got to do the multiplayer. Thank you for the great nostalgic video

Quality is always top notch, keep it up SD! ❤

I love the physics. Cars feel nice and weighty yet you can slide with ease.

Great video. Thank you for the effort.

That notable mission where you controlling tanner's challenger in perspective of the chaser was called "SECOND PERSON PERSPECTIVE" which is a rare genre in video games world, just to show you how unique this game is

Great video!

great video bro , I liked and subbed

Good review but i'm glad you said you're not a car guy because the driving is another big part of what makes this game so good. the physics are more realistic than many games now

Love the video!

loved play this game on ps3, never finished it so im glad I watched this and figured out the ending

Oh please play Duke Nukem Forever. I have yet to see a full playthrough of it since no one seems to want to play it.

When the online multiplayer was working, that was something else. I had started the race in a real slow lemon then midway using Tanner's special ability I turned into a Lambo and smoked everyone. They couldn't figure out what just happened. Wish I had captured the moment, but they all allied and jumped me the next round.

The best driving game for sure, love this game

On the server shutdown thing. It wasn't a multi-player shutdown (at least not directly). It was sunsetting the Ubisoft Connect/uPlay integrations as they went major maintenance for the Connect phase and practically made it impossible to support anymore on old consoles. Some games didn't use it. Some required the uPlay connection for multi. That's why games like Driver: SF, Splinter Cell Blacklist or AC IV Black Flag are still playable online and games like AC 3 or Revelations are not.

I have this on 360 but I play on my Xbox One S, and I do not regret 100% it. I love this game
