A "Terrible" Old PC Game Vs Modern Hardware - Driv3r 

It's crazy how nowadays kids would probably mistake this for a gta clone found on the app store

I loved this game as a kid, driving around the map trying to find secret cars was amazing

It's a pity that this game was released unfinished, if they invested a bit more time on it and polished it a bit more it could have been soo much better.

best game

I remember going around hunting the "timmy vermicelli's" you had to kill, poking fun at Rockstar and Tommy Vercetti. Oh how that panned out for them lol

I had this on PS2 back in the day. notoriously difficult from what i remember, controls were jank. I ended up just free roaming through istanbul on a bike most of the time, seeing what chaos i could cause.

Me: mom can we get GTA? Mom: No, we have GTA at home GTA at home:

You should try Scarface: The World is Yours. It is impossible to run that game at stable framerate.

I grew up not knowing Driv3r was bad, because I played it a lot. Didnt like the story mode, but I loved making chase replays with the clunky editor they implemented. I was more than happy just letting my imagination run

RandomGamingHD: Modern hardware means GT 210 Okey...

Man i can feel a lot of sadness from your voice i hope that everything thing will be fine after this storm keep it going man ❤️

I used to play this a a kid, but mostly to crash cars because the damage models were friggin awesome for the time.

2:00 "Sometimes tho, nostalgia hurts." For me is ALWAYS!

The title of this video should've been this: A game called "Driv3r" vs. AMD's so-called "Driver".

I used to love that game back in the ps2 days idc what the critics say

I loved this game on PS2. Downloaded it a few weeks ago on PC, and immediately uninstalled it.

My buddy is in love with Driv3r, honestly scores dont matter even buggy games are good.

The game feels like it was unfinished!

Driver 3 was great for its time I thought. I played the story mode through the end. The last mission was actually pretty difficult. It was right on the edge of games still being a challenge and I miss that era.

Atari(Infogrames ) was a garbage developers from back in the day. I read in gamasutra a few years ago how they bought the Atari name from Hasbro(who owned it after the Tramel Atari went under in 1996) and renamed themselves Atari. They then went on a shopping spree buying game studios and giant developers like GT Interactive, Accolade, Ocean, Gremlin......only to push out unfinished games, subpar products and further destroy the Atari name. Driver IP was one of their many victims.

Driv3r is honestly one of the best games of my childhood , I remember playing this game with my dad back in the day , gotta love it.

#OldGamesVsNewPCHardware do it

RGinHD: "Terrible" Me: "Budget" ($35m + $17m for extended developments)

Driv3r is one of my all time favorites, alongside Driver 2. I've been playing both games since I was a little kid and I still do.

Driver was most best game in its time, my first game was Driv3r, but ofc, everyone has their own opinion, for me, this was one of the best games of my childhood and im happy bout it

I got Fallout 3 working fine (if you don't believe me it's on my channel) all you have to do is go into a file and limit it to only us 2 cores maximum of your CPU

You are no longer my favourite tech youtuber, you have now been promoted to my favourite youtuber

here is a good game: XIII, is pretty good in graphics and gameplay, very underrated one

i dont think you realize how accurate that city is .... everything is exactly where its suppose to be....

Everyone talking about the game but no one is talking about what you said at the end of the video. I hope you feel better soon, I can wait for the next video.

Unreal 2 the awakening. Now that's a terrible game I play on my new Core i9 PC :)

Two things made Driv3r good: Firstly, the glitches were hilarious! However the most important thing was that the game was HARD, properly hard. I spent hours and numerous tantrums trying to chase Calita through the narrow streets of Istanbul, but when I finally did it, it felt AMAZING!

Loved driving around Nice in this game. I remember the settings as beautiful, and the handling of the cars as pretty decent. Even the soundtrack was enjoyable. I sure miss a time when you even could enjoy somewhat "flawed" games for their various qualities. Now I'm jaded beyond repair and discard games after an hour if they don't meet my impossible standards. Sad.

I just played the ps2 version although a the framerate can get very low as lots of physicals start flooding the ps2s cpu it did have cell shadded shadows and the cars had dynamic shadows which appear to be missing from your pc footage

I ve played this game a lot in the ps2 you have also Istambul that is more interesting than Miami.

There is still an active fan base for the game indeed! HD Textures but also new missions, new skins, new cars, new cockpit view, new cheats,...

The nostalgia that you've experienced in driv3r in original xbox

Dude This game is GTA 6 Confirmed omg! Big like lol leaq confirmed!

Loved the game. Played it on the ps2... I remember it looked better in graphics but i think that was just because it looked better than gta sa

i remember getting a Semi/lorry and just driving for ages into oncoming traffic and watching the cars deform. pretty neat stuff considering this was way before GTA IV!

I remember playing this game when I was a kid, it was so fun I really love the car physics I think it’s solid. The game itself feels empty and dead. You should make a video about Driver parallel lines its my favorite ps2 game.

Love your videos just cant stop watching these!

A hilariously bad game, but nonetheless, I spent many hours just driving around in this game as a kid 😂👍🏻

I played this game so much as a kid, I remember me and my friends would take turns driving around the cities. At the time it was quite an amazing game graphically and I think it still holds up to this day - this was a PS2 game!

Terrible game?? Maybe ot has some flaws but the game os great for me. Thats why almost of games stink today I rather prefer playing driv3r than most of this generation games

I've just got hold of a old PSP 1000 , I've just jailbreaked it and i'm having a lot of fun with it , the only thing is I need to wear my glasses when playing on it as the screen is small.👀👀

When my dad handed this game to me for our ps2, I fell in love with it for some odd reason. I didn’t understand what it was about, but I just liked driving around.

you should cover the first mafia game next. absolutely excellent game

I've played Driv3r like 7 years ago on PS2 and it was briliant. Also Driver San Francisco was still good old Driver under hood. We need another great Driver game.

I used to play this game for hours everyday as a kid back in 2005-2006 when I got a ps2. I remember just driving off a giant ramp all the way to the bottom of the level, watching my car roll a million times.. lmao

I always felt if this game was actually finished before release it would have been one of the greatest

Love your videos, there's something kinda soothing about them. Whatever is bothering you at the moment hope it goes away soon (you ain't bothering no one). Keep up the great work!

This may not be of interest to anyone, but if you have some graphic bug with modern hardware in this game (On AMD cards shadows not rendered properly or at all, as seen in this video), you can use DXVK, that convert DX9 api calls to Vulkan, and for me that fix the shadow bug an other minors graphics bugs, and the performance is much better, a lot less stutters at 1080p 120fps

I swear we had the same childhood lol loved this game on ps2 my favorite was driver parallel lines I wanna see that next

I still play Driver 3, I think people are just being too harsh, the game is just good, and the glitches are something I actually love about the game because to me it makes it more enjoyable, I felt the same way about True Crime: Streets of LA with the fact that I can easily glitch out of the map and explore a world that is even bigger than intended with fully functional traffic and scenery. I guess I just have a strange thing for glitchy open-world games and I just love them! Thank you for making this video, it really brings back *LOADS* of memories, I remember one time when I was 8 years old I asked my mom if I could play the game but ever since it was rated mature and I always asked that question she smashed the PS2 disc and threw it away, I remember taking it out of the trash a burying it in the dirt with a cardboard tombstone. I just realized how big this comment is, Jesus Christ... ok I think I'm done now *LMAO!*

Guess the PC version used the driving controls from Driver 1 which I grew up with so I'd be right at home, though switching between WASD and that would be awkward, especially having to take my hand off the mouse. Haha

Driv3r is such an underrated game

BRO I LOVE DRIV3R. I REMEMBER TURNING MY PS2 ON AT 6 AM BEFORE SCHOOL AND HEARING THE 1ST MISSION SONG

You've got to mention a huge shadow bug on AMD cards where casted shadows won't appear in the environment except when casted on your car. NVIDIA doesn't have this issue.

excellent game driv3r with the keyboard layout and 4k patch works great , its the most fun broken game of all time

can you do "A "Terrible" old pc game vs terrible modern hardware" ? :D great video (:

back in the days this was a creazy good looking game on my ps2 ;)

Hey guys, I have a 1050 GTX and need to buy a new PC, my PC has that A8-6500 (I think), a REALLY slow CPU that is being bottlenecked - I've noticed that on CEX/WeBuy there are a lot of PC's without GPU's that are very cheap, you can seemingly buy some high-end CPU's with an SSD for well under £200, I'm curious what the best PC for the price is, does anyone know a good CPU for around that price? Here's a list of the PC's they sell: uk.webuy.com/search?maxPrice=205&categoryIds=1067&view=list&minPrice=8

maybe the existence of GTA SA made things difficult for Driv3r still I love both games

I just played this yesterday. In the first mission the cop I was supposed to follow drove straight into the ocean. My brothers were watching and we couldn't stop laughing. The utter ludicrousness of this game makes it so great

I ofcourse respect your opinion but i think there are other reasons you liked this game back then. Maybe you didnt have access to other games or it came out in your "good age" i dont know but this game was horrible at release and is still horrible. i played Driver 1 the first city alone for 6 years... Driver 3 had horrible graphics back then, was a horrible game. It didnt even have a identity. But nice to hear that someone likes it and get his view.

You should download patch2 and fix some graphic bugs! Still looks good

This game need mods with new minigames, like taxi driver, ambulance driver, even UPS delivery and Pizza delivery (the same but more difficult because pizza time) XD Street races, COPS vs THIEVES (Catch or destroy your oponent while you chase or escape). Find car pieces, not a new complete car, pieces you must collect to make a new car and more presidents run missions :D

i loved driv3r

Driv3r in my opinion was great game. Love this game from 2004 to nowdays. Driv3r is on my top 10 ps2 games and on top 20 games ever.

Thanks for making such great content man, never be afraid to share or take care of yourself. We’re all human, your sincerity and honesty is what makes you such a great channel to follow 🤗

I thought the game was awesome (because PS2) but the PC version was terrible.

Man Driv3r bring back memories.The physics made the game :D.Yes it's not a flashy game but hella fun.It's like GTA you don't do missions you just mess around in town stealing cars and messing with cops.

I love this game and especially The Theme music☺

Just emulate the gba version of this that is what i did when this game was recent

Can you test other broken ports like Nolf 2 and Shogo, they are impossible to run on modern pcs. Driv3r actually looks playable. Also NOLF 1 is great to this day played it from start to finish for the first time week ago.

Please do Call Of Duty (2003) vs Modern hardware. That game is the first FPS game i've ever played i even have the original PC disk at home.

I remember buying this at launch at 2004 for the ps2 and being amazed at the graphics and car psychics for the Time..i used to record my take a ride plays on VHS because of the amount of glitches and funny shit that happens xD

I have driver driver 2 both disc on ps1 and driv3r and driver parallel lines. My absolute favorite franchise then i played driver san Francisco but i didn't really get into it. My story wrapped up in driv3r. I still have a working ps2 lol but i play scarface from time to time.

If you want to talk about bad pc ports. Try the OG RE4 pc port, it didn't even had mouse support for a pc game released in mid 2000s.

I remember this was incredibly hard and the shooting mechanics were absolutely horrendous. But like everyone here including yourself I can overlook it all because of the pure nostalgia

Why didn't you play on max settings. There are no shadows.

I enjoy the exploring the city in-game but never played story missions

Dude I played the shit out of this as a kid on the original Xbox the survival mode in driving games was always funny because the cops would absolutely launch your car 10 feet or higher in the air

I think this game could be fun. But i really miss shadows of the cars, although shadows are on in the graphics settings. Somehow everything looks a little bit empty or too clean. Maybe it is just a little bit too old...

I don't remember it being a bad game, I actually loved playing it. In the first town you can sit in a draw bridge booth messing with traffic and the cops, it was quite fun.

You think driver was terrible?? It's a sick game!

"New hardware vs old games" Omg I've had this idea for so so long, but just haven't got the money to get the "new hardware" to test things on. I know the result is gonna be obvious in most cases, but I wanna see just how overkill (or even underkill?) it's gonna be! This exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much RGHD!

Damn, back in the day when I was playing driv3r on my ps2 I thought graphics looked realistic. Now its a different story.

I can't belive this game have better physics in the water than CP2077

That Battle Rifle crosshair tho.

This game was fun. I think it was this one where it had like france or london or someshit aswel. I remember ceuising round in a lambo type car. Was fun. Graohics and car damage were better than gta sa at the time

You can really see the influence this game had on Cyberpunk 2077

Man i wish cex didn't stop doing stuff in the us. i'd try some of these older games that were put out before steam became the de facto standard but where i live all the game stores only do the newest stuff and there is no older pc games in any of those.

Even most Roblox games look better than this... That really tells you somthing

I love this game when I was a kid. So did all of my friends, so much so that when one went back to the US he bought a copy for his PS2. Avoid the PC port lol.

I've heard when it first came out, it was a borderline unplayable glitchfest and Atari Interactive was to blame all because they were scared that GTA SA would outsell the game (Spoilers: It did!) so they decided to rush the game. This was the game that killed the franchise and gave birth to Watch Dogs in the 2010s. There's a whole video explaining about it on RU-vid.

Had this game on PS2 and PC when I was a kid. Great fun

1:02 cough cough.... Saints Row 2

I love the driv3r game from 2011 it is so much fun to play
