I love Driv3r so much. I'd love a remaster but I'd even be happy to have a PS5 port. I still play it on my old PS2

Driver 2 was my FIRST game on PS1. I used to play it every day as a kid, completed it and till this day I open it up to complete and enjoy it again. Then there was Driver 1. And after there was Driv3r(!), Parallel Lines and D: San Francisco. Driv3r is the most memorable for me and that's the title I play too till this day. Actually have it installed on my PC. Driv3r comeback would be the out of this world. Most amazing thing. Thank you for this gameplay and commentary!

DRIV3R Is My Most Favorite Game I Grew Up Playing It Ever Scence I Was 5 Or 4 Or Something Along Those Ages And I Still Play It Im 17

please revive Driver. We need that so much in this dead end era without any proper open world games in the last 10 years in classic eras.

Miami map, Mustang. Take A Ride.

Watching Paul and Martin agonise over the same missions as I did as a kid.... an amazing and touching view that brings back a huge amount of nostalgia. This game is one of the biggest and most important parts of my childhood. Thank you for this video. Thank you for Driv3r!

The soundtrack for this game is absolutely incredible....whoever was in charge of choosing the songs for this game has an amazing music taste.

absolutely love driver! a new driver or a remaster of san francisco would be an absolute dream

Nice to know people that made Driver still exist at Reflections. I thought ubisoft had already replaced them all. Ubisoft made a terrible decision to just ignore the franchise so long that most people don't even know what it is anymore. It used to almost be neck and neck with gta

big part of childhood

Spectacular initiative! Long live Driver and Reflections

As much as reviews were mixed for this game and it was rushed out, it did create a lot of memories. The cars were fun to drive, the cities were detailed and more varied than you'd usually get. I showed the game to my younger siblings years ago, and to this day they willl occassionaly load it up to muck about with the fork lifts and the draw bridges and such. One of the core games of our childhoods definitely.

My childhood right here. My first game I've ever played as a kid among my most cherished and, best ever damage models in a open world crime game and the best arcadic driving I've seen in this genre. It's the most perfect mix of having enough control of your car but not too much, which in turn creates a well thought out easy to learn hard to master skill to driving. So ahead of it's time especially the theatre mode / film director just as comparable as film director mode on Driver 1 and 2. In fact, not just ahead of it's time but technically impressive pulling it off on more limited hardware 4-5 years before GTA 4 did it on PC while counting on-foot elements and 9 years before GTA 4 for Driver 1. Also, definitely among the coolest of games I've played for sure. While the ending is as odd as Once Upon A Time America's ending other than that, the atmosphere and cutscenes are so well done that, you just can't find it's style anywhere else. I love how focused the cutscene's style is how natural people talk like with Madsen and Ving Rhames in the 'You Shot Him' cutscene, the Trapped cutscene, and the Fingers cutscene, it just plays out very organically. Plus in-game as well the atmosphere really puts you in a nice vibe. Overall, this game evokes the most memories of any game I've played. There are some art media that you engage in that they age poorly as time gets on, or age well through time, and with what I mentioned about it's game's strongest elements, this is a art media that has aged well over time. Because as a kid, I loved it and looking back now, the cutscene details I'm noticing now the new found appreciation for it's atmosphere and it's music, there's no other game quite like it and really, this still stands as the top 10 games of all time for me personally or at the very least, the top 10 games I respect the most or the top 10 games that influenced my taste in games the most. Among my favourite game I've experienced of all time, and uhhh, if any of the Reflections employees reading this long comment I made um hope you enjoyed reading through my very detailed dissection and appreciation for why I love Driv3r haha. That's all.

Despite the criticism Driv3r got at the time and the fact that it was released 20 years ago, the car physics and collision physics are still top tier to this day. T-boning a car and seeing it rollover felt pretty natural and realistic. What sets Driver apart from other games is that it's unforgiving and the car physics did not hold the player's hand. Apart from this, Driv3r is also pretty moody. Good graphics for the time, great neo-noir story and cutscenes. I still crave for more open-world games like this.

I loved the vibe, the music and the ambience of Driv3r, and specifically the difficulty, felt like such an achievement when a mission was passed! Miss that challenge.

Mad how these guys can't remember so much but this game was a huge part of my childhood. Thanks for all the memories - may not have lived up to the expectations but I was blown away as a kid playing this on the PS2

Driv3r had the potential to be a truly unique game, so ahead of its time but it was quite unfinished in it's release. Such a cool game with a cool engine, creative direction, unique countries but plagued by a lot of bad luck. Bringing it back in a remake would be so damn cool.. or a new Driver game in general..

I grown up with Driver game series since I was 3 years old. I still play these games nowday and I really wish one day we’ll have a proper remastered or remake of these masterpieces. Thanks to all the developers who created such series.

Driv3r was one of the funnest games I've ever played. Broken as hell in spots but the free mode is unmatched. I would love to drop full price on a new Driv3r-esque game with similar physics and a multiplayer online chaos mode like the free ride version of this game. Me and dad had endless fun with this and the scope and feeling of the game still sticks with me to this day. Loved the commentary and hearing about how things got made too. Knowing the ghost arrow cars are an actual person's recorded playthrough instead of AI makes the difficulty make a lot of sense! I'm also glad you guys made the lamp posts breakable in future games, that killed a lot of great runs in this game, but at times did make it more challenging.

DRIV3R LETS GOOO!!! We would LOVE a new driver game!!

Despite all of its problems, Driv3r had many thing to enjoy honestly: the driving, the cutscenes, the soundtrack and the whole atmosphere. They were and still are unique in a way.

You two Deserve A Podcast!

Then, your feedback and honest take on the qualities and imperfections of the game bring a great touch of authencity and self criticism, to an era where fakeness and self-justification rule the internet.

I remember years ago Nerdcubed complaining about the house having no Bathroom.

I love all Driver's games, but the first three are special. ❤❤ What I will never understand is how the wonderful driving model of Driver San Francisco was lost and not reused for The Crew.

This was absolutely great, very insightful, loved it. PLEASE do one for each driver game (and stuntman), we deserve at least this much :(

Loved this. Thank you so much. I loved this flawed masterpiece deeply and it was a huge part of my childhood. My father bought me the first 4 driver games as rewards for various school achievements. He passed in 2011 and I used some money he bought me to buy San Francisco. Please consider remasters or resurrecting the driver series, I'd love to revisit some old memories. Tanner Lives!

At least like once I year I comeback to select PS2 Games that I can't play on modern platforms. This is one of those games. Loved the series

Ruddy love the Driver games. Curious to see what times the Ubi Refections crew can achieve in Driver's tutorial/car park level

A remaster of this game would blow the GTA series out of the water.

Just imagine a remake of Driv3r to go head to head with GTA 6 ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

Cool insights into the development, thanks! Always loved the game, the slowmotion mode combined with the cinematic camera created some really stunning images. I gave up in the mission where you drove a white Sportscar and had to drive, aim and shoot at the same time.

Retribution 🥸

This may sounds silly but take a look at Cyberpunk, Ubisoft can reboot this series starring Ryan Gosling.

9:45 pretty sure the devs are wrong about there not existing an AI that drives not based on scripted/prerecorded paths; Driver 2's Find the Clue mission had dynamic AI pathfinding which was quite impressive for it's time. Guess they didn't work on that one or forgot in the 25 years.

Driver San Francisco was actually really nice, I'd like to see another "experimental" driver game. Or something like parallel lines, no realistic bullshit

The graphics and physics absolutely left every other game at the time in the dust. A crying shame that Atari wouldn't allow it to be finished before release. Still, I don't think I would have played it half as much when I was younger if it hadn't had so many funny glitches to laugh at.

So great to see you guys! Miss you very much Paul and Moliver! 😘

First game I ever played as a kid was Driver 1 on PS1, been hooked to driving games ever since.

This is absolutely brilliant to see! The whole driver series was amazing but like most of the comments here I think Driv3r just had something very special about it, even with its problems and being the underdog at the time, there was nothing like driving through Nice at night seeing all the colours down the promenade! The storyline, the missions, cars, music everything. It really deserves a remaster to just finalise what it should have been in the demos with all its extras! Oh and not sure if it’s just me, but Driv3r storyline would make one HELL of a film 😍

You guys were responsable for Driver and Destruction Derby. Cant thank you enough!

I dream of a remake of this game with all the og gun sounds and maybe a few new weapons such as Jericho's sawed off shotgun. Despite all the hate this game got, I feel like it didn't deserve it. Thank you for making my childhood. Cheers!

Any beta builds of Driver 1 and 2? Grew up on the driver series, also why does the beta version of 2 have a better framerate?

I love the Driver series! Awesome video guys! 😎

Absolutely adore the things Reflections worked on, Driver 3 was a product of it's time and definitely only got a cult following way after it's release, which is a shame.

Make Remake.

Dang, I didn't know Reflections had been around as long as I have. I've played a lot of their games growing up in the 90s!

The game that once was better than GTA... That's gotta mean something, man. I wished Driv3r had a remake, for real!

one of the first games I bought for my PS2, fond memories.

If you guys doing it, please Driv3r and Gta 4 base physics for the car. Make it feel real! I love how hard they work to resonate with the classic chases from movies! The weight, balance, sound, destruction. It was perfect!

If only Atari didn’t panicked with GTA SA approaching and let time to the devs to actually finish the game it would’ve a fucking banger. PLEASE UBI, you may have become a serious contender against EA to achieve the rank of Evil Empire but PLEASE remake this game properly 🙏🙏🙏

Driver 1 was difficult and hard at times, Driver 2 was the first time we could exit cars and steal them too, Driver 3 finally had guns and each car felt different like it should and Driver parallel lines was the first to have it start in the 80s and then progress into the 2000. These games are legendary and deserve a remaster the right way and a revival of the series. I love the idea of having 3 to 4 maps and having to play the campaign to unlock them and the past to current time period with tones of cars to customise
