Yeah, plenty of companies had unfinished games and upgrades to their existing games back then, just with consoles not having online features, they were treated as half or full priced re-releases. Resident Evil 1 alone had three different full-priced versions on the PS1 in three years (vanilla, Directors Cut, and Dual Shock Version) that would just be DLC today. Crystal Dynamics fully admitted they ran out of time on Soul Reaver and that's why it ends on a literal To Be Continued. I know your post was a LOL Modern Gaming thing, but even in the prime of video games for a lot of us in the late 90s-early 00s, it had problems too. If a console game was busted in some way, no patch was coming to fix it, it stayed busted. Poly Digital ran out of time with Gran Turismo 2 to where they had to remove the drag racing content from it at the last moment, so you can't reach 100% completion in it. Street Fighter II got HOW many versions in four years before it could count to three? Every era has its good things and bad, let's not be the old guys yelling at clouds.
@@DSMTheEditor Those are very valid points but my assumption from the post is the irritation with insane levels of DLC and additional content that make the companies more money and not like vintage style on-disc unless you buy a premium version that's inevitably more expensive. It does feel like a longing for the old days when you didn't feel like you were missing out on anything because you bought the whole game. It's not exactly like that anymore. And that can be a pro or con depending on your perspective.
Sadly I dont think this game will ever get a remake, the games back then were better because then you had lots of vechicular combat games, racing games, basically everything for example twisted metal was the best series ever,and now the games are mainly shooting games, that is why I recently bought a ps1 to play these game.
what is it with nerds and remakes? The original version is perfect. Just go play it. Playing an old game with updated graphics takes away from the originality of it. Go play GTA5 or FORZA
It's a surprise that this game based of a TV show could have an own videogame that was actually so good than I thought. I was been searching the name of this game for years since I played it on my Ps1 and I loved more like I did with Driver. And for that, it became one of my favourite Ps1 games of my childhood.
Despite the bad framerate, the low resolution and the funky not-z-buffered vertices all over the place, I still think this is one of the most immersive "open world" games ever. There is something about the way it looks that feels so cinematic, and I think it has to do with the lighting. Because it's almost all pre rendered: they rendered the entire city at specific moments of the day under different weather conditions, using some sort of semi-realistic global illumination method, and then they compiled texture packs for each instance. This unique kind of graphics have more to do with something more linear and contained like Max Payne than the open word of GTA 3, which uses a dinamic day-night cycle with some primitive real time rasterized lighting that ends up looking way more flat and fake.
Strangely enough, I think the severe lack of draw distance and extreme dithering makes the sense of speed feel cinematic/realistic. It’s like an unintentional, early form of motion blur, which didn’t really exist until the PS2 gen. The camera physics also help with the cinematic feeling, they’re actually pretty dynamic.
Me and my Brother would play this just to see if we could one day end up getting to the edge of the map. We had a steer wheel and pedals and pretended we went on roadtrips. We just drove around and ate popsicles. Thanks for the nostalgia Flood
We used to play that final mission, which, somehow buggy as hell because every single bullet we put on them didnt register as damage. So we finally put them off by blocking the limo in that first T junction you saw
I never thought World's Scariest Police Chases, an Fox/Spike/Paramount Network show is turning to a video game. Damn, I was hit by an ton of childhood bricks.
You can say the same for Cops. They had a game in 1993/94 or so. That show would also have the same issue of being on Fox and then Paramount Network. However, Cops still continues as an original on the Fox News streaming affiliate: Fox Nation.
i'll never forget this masterpiece, it released in 2001 when PS1 had its final days due to release of PS2, this game pushed all the psx limit to its awesomeness with a great graphics, physics, gameplay.
I don't even remember why I bought this game back in the day, but it was really awesome for it's time and the console it was launched. For me it's even better than Driver. Good old times.
Just as long as hi-def remakes of games like this (or the first Driver, or the Runabout series) stick to in-car action only. If you can get out and get other cars, or have gunfights, or find minigames, you're just playing an inferior GTA.
I loved this game as a kid but never understood the MASSIVE difficulty spike starting with Mission 13 - The Stool Pigeon. Matt got lucky. That mission took me a week to get a commendation on. I'm on Mission 14 - Tank Rush and get thrown off trying to weave in and out of traffic, but at the same time you can't let the APC take that much damage or you'll never get the commendation.
Me and my brother used to play this game all the time when we were kids I remember renting a PS one from family video on the weekends just to play it good memories no I’m 30 lol
Cool ps1 game World's scariest police chases based on the popular reality hit tv show back in the 90s to 2000 world scariest police chases and world wildest police videos hosted by John Burnell the gameplay reminds me of die hard trilogy on ps1 and die hard trilogy part 2 on ps1
Wait- a car tries to pass two tanks exchanging fire? I'd think that's more of a fall back, find a side street to go down to avoid and tell whoever is where you're going that you're not going show.
