Driver was Amazing! What Happened?

- There's been no new Driver game for over 10 years... after the popularity of Driver San Fransisco on the internet, you'd think we'd have another by now surely?

For those who didn't know, WD1 was supposed to be a Driver game initially.
lol, didn't notice Theo said the same thing at the very end of the video 😅
WD1?
@@Helsvga watch dogs. Ubisoft was trying to make a follow up to san fran and it turned into watch dogs.
I can kind of see it. The car suspension physics in wd1 feel weirdly good for a game that type, and generally the handling and the car deformation is alright too.
@@Cheezus ooooh okay watch dogs!!! I had completely forgotten about that game.😂😂
- The Driver series is not a GTA clone, which you could tell from the title and how the series generally is about driving.
- The general opinion critics had about the direction Driv3r and Driver Parallel Lines have gone with was: while they did try to give more freedom to the player; the gameplay (and the feel of it), and amount of content wasn't on par with the games at the time.
- Driv3r had Miami and Nice and Istanbul.
- The Driver series and GTA series did a fun back and forth easter eggs, you can probably find some videos about :)
- All the Driver games had campaign/a story.
Atari fits into this somewhere too and they didn't help.
Parallel lines was my favourite one tbh
@@Weeliam2000 Same for me, my entry to the series was Driver 1 and 2 but my favorite is Driver Parallel Lines, because it broke the trend of being about Tanner and had the cinematic-like story.
I also really liked the concept of era switching. And the music.
Yea it wasn’t considered a GTA clone ever. If I remember correctly it got a lot of flak for including the GTA elements in Driv3r
Driver 1 was my first ever game. Even if they won't make a sequel, I at least wish they'd remaster them for modern consoles...MAN I FEEL OLD NOW!
Getting out of that garage at 7 was a bitch bruh
@@Mr.Grumps565 My older brother helped with that part.
@soldierx345 yeah my dad showed me how turned it off and said there you go.
Don’t call Driver a GTA clone. Driver was GTA before GTA was GTA
@GHOSTSTARSCREAM Then why don't call them all a Driver clone?
@GHOSTSTARSCREAM Saint's Row, True Crime, Sleeping Dogs, Mafia, Gangstar, ...
@GHOSTSTARSCREAM Ok, so you don't know about the games, dismiss less serious takes on the formula, or go back to calling them GTA clones.
So they all are Driver clones, aren't they!?!!?
@GHOSTSTARSCREAM "never said any of them were GTA clones" yet you said "Mafia/ L.A Noire is basically a GTA clone"
"never dismissed the less serious takes" yet you said "Saint's Row was seen as a parody of GTA"
Buddy, take a position and hold onto it, you sound kinda crazy as it is.
Driver did go to the same.... the SAME locations that the FIRST GTA used. That is where the rivalry started with rockstar poking fun at Driver. 😂
I was around then playing I remember
Driver parallel lines might not be everyone's favourite but it has sentimental value to me. I adore it, the story is nice and i love the way you switch from the 70s to the 2000s, so you kind of got 2 games in 1, you get different cars and the whole atphosmere is different, still, driver san francisco is 100% the best one in the franchise, i loved the car deformation, the graphics are good and the tyre smoke is really advanced for it's time too, just overall an amazing game and i wish they revived this series again... I really enjoyed this video and i hope you continue doing these types of videos!
Fr i played this soo much on wii as a kid because i couldnt get gta but the story is definitely over hated
Driver parallel lines was slept on.
The era transition was just epic. I still have some music from the game in my playlist.
I still got it!
Yeah even a friend of mine who was also a huge Driver fan since the PS1 didn't know Parallel Lines existed until I brought it up about 5-ish years after the games release, and in my opinion Parallel Lines was the best one, the setting, the music, story, missions and side missions, car customisation and races, it was so fun, even the shooting was pretty good for the era.
Driver parallel lines , I remember getting the ps2 demo , then having the full game , when the time periods shift too . Yo it’s crazy the dope games we had back then
Man I loved playing Driv3r. It was one of my favorite video games when I was younger. I never did the missions. I just drove around and crashed cars. That was so much fun.
Hey Theo, I noticed you've been doing alot of these throwback type videos and I just wanna say I really appreciate it. I love seeing you check out these old games. Would love to see more of these type of videos
Really appreciate that thank you, it's something I absolutely love doing
@@BlackPanthaa The Getaway ps2
I was gonna suggest the old "Stuntman" games. First one was great, ignition, not so much. Sad we lost those types of games. Burnout included.
Driver did the 3d first if anything GTA was a driver clone get that shit straight
Driv3r still one of my favourite games of all time
100%
It's sad to see what happened to the Driver franchise. I would love to see a new Driver game, specially after replaying San Francisco. I remember playing the crap out of Driver Parallel Lines when I was a kid and getting blown away by the time advance stuff that happens when you get arrested. And people don't like Parallel Lines? I honestly like it but in my opinion, Driver San Francisco is the goat.
Slightly off topic but petition for Theo to playthrough the OG Stuntman👉🏻👈🏻.
This game needs a remaster. It was most of my childhood
driver 3 was such a massive piece of my childhood, love that game
Man, was I a dumb child, not knowing what to do in the first section...
💀
We all were 😅
@@BlackPanthaa I also believe I played it on ps2
Still have it in my basement
driv3r was my first game on the ps2 when i was younger i remember the intro being so epic i watched it loads of times
The cutscenes in that game were so good. Absolutely loved the story on 3. Parallel Lines too
@@Ruthless_DMark all I mainly remember was that intro still decent to this day
For those who dont know the Crew was the sequel to Driver and the hint is the Crew had some Driver Liverys many people dont no this
It had that vibe from parallel lines it was weird
@@Trext. Yeah it did
Been waiting for a video on these games for years so happy you’ve now played them especially parallel lines one of my favourites
I still think Driver SF has the best physics and handling I’ve ever seen in a racing game
Saints 2022 story is what killed it off the characters were pandering to an audience that doesn't even play games, As for Driver 3 is what lead up to the events of Driver SF the guy with the sawed off shotgun in the trench coat is Jericho the main Antagonist in Driver SF
Exactly. I hear it was higher-ups that wanted the story that way but anyone with common sense would see why it would fail so spectacularly
Jericho was the antagonist in Driver 2 also.
@@soldierx345 I know that but most will make the connection to 3 because of what happened to Tanner at the end of 3.
@@johnnycashfan3398 i have only played 1 and 2, and I very small amount of San Fran
@@soldierx345 You have to beat SF if you got it still it does have a unique story
my friend had PS1 but no memory cards, so we had to go through the tutorial every single time we wanted to play the game
we also didn't know English pretty much at all, so we had to figure out half of the list by trial and error
I wouldn't bot say Driver was a GTA clone lmao.... but okay
It’s a clone in the fact that GTA was the first free roam crime inciting action-adventure game lol, The same way FIFA is a clone of PES 😂 but that’s about it.
Stop calling it a clone. It isn't@@James-miller
@@James-miller Driver was a 3D driving game and GTA up to that point was a 2D top down open world game. Two totally different ideas that eventually got inspiration from each other. Obviously one is more successful than the other and the influence was more one sided. The only thing they have in common is cars and a crime element? Saint's Row is the clone here if anything but even then I don't think it's bad to do that.
Driv3r was an iconic game and I will die on this hill
Driver became Watch Dogs. That's pretty much what happened to it. I believe there was another Driver in development and then Ubisoft pulled everyone over to Watch Dogs, and the very basic game that was built for Driver was used for Watch Dogs. Not an entire rebranding, more of a rebuild. But it does explain the jank of the first Watch Dogs.
BlackPanthaa, as a big youtuber with millions of views, you can get Ubisoft to release the sequel to Driver by watching this video. We really want to see Tanner back! at least remakes of Driver the wheelman is back, driver 2 and driver 3
If you didnt know. In driver san fransico with the delorean. If you do 88mph, you can do the drive test mission from the first driver.
One of the first games i ever purchased with my own money. Absolutely love driver series
After I discovered the cheat codes for Parallel Lines, I spent so much time upgrading and testing every car om the circuit, it was very fun
I remember playing Driver 2 back in the day. I didn't know you could get out of the car and walk around. One time I was driving really fast and crashed into a building and ended up glitching through the walls. Then I saw Tanner standing outside of the car and I started freaking out. I must've pressed random buttons during the chaos and just got out of the car
I had the same confusion about controller support for parallel lines. It's in the settings you have to manually change it to controller mode instead of the default keyboard controls
I grew up playing driver San Francisco, and I finished the game like 3 times and I loved it everytime
You forgot the original Stuntman, which has earnt the label of the hardest racing game ever. It's basically a tech demo for Driv3r
No mention of the secret hidden cars in Driver 2... that is pretty much my only memory of the Driver series is going searching each map for the hidden cars.
I thought this. Driv3r had them too. Pretty much all I did on these games as a kid was find the secret cars and find jumps 😂
there's also a driver 76 for the psp
i used to play it all the time
Oooh need to play through them all
I loved Driver 3, but it was one of those games that was incomplete and rushed to be released because GTA3 was being released on multiple platforms for the first time.
I still do because of the driving model and crash physics
Just a fact: Driver Parallel Lines actually released in 2006, it came out on steam in 2007
Driver 2 loved cruising in Havana for hrs and the getaway on ps2. What a masterpiece definitely needs a remaster on ps5
I actually downloaded the mobile driver game way before it got delisted (granted, was a lot younger). The game was fine, but was kind of weird considering the console game’s core gameplay. It also had this weird “dating” system where after some races, you could flirt with characters to get rewards. I hated and didn’t like it, even as a child.
Fun fact: due to I’m assuming the server being offline and it being delisted off of stores, all ingame purchases are now completely free after the tutorial. So, you can pretty much splurge your all of the in-game currency and instantly unlock all the boats and fully upgrade them, including the side content. This makes the game incredibly easy and you just don’t even need to try winning due to your fully upgraded boats against the default ones.
Driver San Francisco
NEVER. LET. THIS. GAME. DIE.
I remember continuously playing the summer it launched so I could get the Bentley Arnage. Man, I wish I had saved to the Cloud during the 360 days...
Driv3r was my childhood game on the ps2
Driver sanfransisco was chefs kiss. But yeah 1 and 2 should get a remake but with the ps1 style and same gameplay, kinda like the tomb raider remakes.
Driver 2 did get a remake called Redriver 2
Good video Pants
Wait what's that little handheld device he showed at the start of the video? I'd love to get one of those
Driver 1 and 2 has the BEST soundtracks!
Such nostalgia 😭
Driver 3 has a good soundtrack too y'know?
just adding one correction driver PL was released early to mid 2006
I really enjoyed Parallel Lines. It felt like they improved on the things they got wrong in Driv3r and the world definitely felt more detailed and alive. I really liked the fact that you got to play in both the 70s and the current day (when the game released), too. Car customisation was a nice addition.
Also controller support works, you have to select gamepad in control settings.
I loved the replays on the first Driver.
3:58 on driver 3 there was a glitch you can do on the train track you can launch across the map lmao 😂 but it had to be at one them turns on the track
Bro driver 3 was my childhood
D1 and D2 story lines and gameplay will remain the best in the franchise fr
I really remembered enjoying Driv3r on PS2, it was just dumb fun
You gotta play driver parallel lines its so slept on one of my favorites
I still to this day have the physical version of Driver: Parallel Lines, and I still like it despite its flaws.
(Sidenote: You forgot about Driver 76/Driver PSP)
You should check redriver, its a community project and its sooo good. Also there is a driver "remake" but i dont know the name but it got modern graphics and almost same physics. There is also a mod for it so you can play driver 1 missions on it. Its really good and cumminity is rly active on that one
Driver 76 in the psp, man that was my favourite. I heard it was some what a prequel of Driver parallel lines I think.
We need remake driver one and two
Maybe the tech limitations is the reason why older games feel unique and memorable.
yooo I didn't know you were in the game 16:24 😂
If you know where to look there is actually a pc version of driver SF. It's a blast on steam deck
I used to love Driver!
Ubisoft happened
Not just that even assassin creed happened
@@siddheshpillai3807a more successful franchise tbf.
@@ELDIABLO_71that like saying Twilight is more successful franchise doesn't make it good
I read this weekend that Ubi is considering a new Driver title, and my only hope is they consider adding Nice again, as it was a fascinating place to drive around in the 3rd game.
The controversy with Driv3r being released early in the UK before reviews left their embargo sticks in the memory - for some reason, the cheque I wrote to pay for it in my local Safeway was never cashed, so I got the Xbox version for free!
Driver looks like Midtown Madness
In Driver 2, we knew the next game would have guns. Shadows don't lie...
Imo Ubisoft had killed the Driver series (discontinuing development and release of new titles) mostly because TC2 and also The Crew Motorfest being considered as their 'money maker' for the racing series, like it or not.
But tbh I still liked the Driver series, I still had Driver San Francisco installed on my PC and sometimes played it - imo the game's just unique on its own way, don't forget that you can also commandeer normal NPC/civilian cars, buses and trucks.
that’s not the hq that’s Tanner’s multi million dollar miami beach house
I had a driver demo disc on the ps1, next time I touched driver was on San Francisco
Theo you need to do a play through of parallel lines
I never played the original driver and driver 2 and as a kid I actually wanted a copy of driver 3 after playing it at a friend's house but never actually got a copy. I only ever played driver san Francisco which was a great game.
Btw, the Wii version of Driver San Francisco is an entirely different game. It's a prequel to the first Driver game.
Driver SF had the best driving wheel animations experience, change my mind.
driver3 was my first ever video game
Now you need to go back further in time for some open world(ish) car combat. Go find a download of Interstate 76. Fairly in depth armor/weapons/performance system, set in an alternate 70's fuel crisis U.S. with a pretty bangin soundtrack all built on an old Mechwarrior engine. The number of hours I spent with that game are still some of my best.
theo try play the crash time saga it’s a racing series with good physics based on a authobahn police crime tv series, i had very good memories on it, especially the physics was good for the time, give it a try, it’s like the burnout but german
I liked Driver San Francisco ‼️‼️ very great well made game for its time ! I do wish the franchise made one more Driver game
Ive just realised ive played every driver game😂
Be a Idea too Play the gateway games would be great too see.
I've played the wii version of driver san francisco a lot!
Driver San Francisco is great. Still play it on 360 with my boys today and they love it.
You didn’t mention that it totally changed the gameplay by eliminating the whole getting out and walking around thing. You sort of quantum leap into any vehicle you like and take over that vehicles drivers body. The driving physics are better than most games even today. The story is quite clever and I you get good at swapping bodies you can leapfrog like crazy from vehicle to vehicle to take people down. It deserves to be resurrected.
Driver 2 was a sandbox with no toys, it was great as a concept and even as a game until rockstar dropped the full sandbox with toys in GTA3
True crime of La. & NY was too lit
It is indeed so sad, it was my first ever "racing" game
I hate the "genre" thing, tho. "Racing" games should've been part of "driving" games, therefore the genre should've been just "driving" games
@@LGLFanTeam12it would make more sense. And then, there is the category of sports games. Makes it even more confusing.
@@skyzocka Makes me think that there is sorta drifting in this game. Car drifting is supposed to be a sport too, right? Uhh, confusing.
Not every driving game is a sports/racing game, tho. like BeamNG Drive, ETS2/ATS, City Car Driving, or Parking Mania for some obvious examples.
And there's some "stunts action" in this DRIVER game. Is "stunts game" also sports?
i never pasted the first mission on driver on ps1... toke me years to figure out you could skip it and go to like free roam or something.
Tanner and Jones. Since Driver 2. Parallel Lines had the best police system I think.
HEY!!! Don't call Driver a "GTA clone", with all you know about it, in any case, GTA should be a Driver clone.
I love driver 3 so much 😭 I miss it
I wish there was a civilian version of the police cruiser in Driv3r.
Was literally playing the game today🤣
Yea I took weeks to pass that driver test
I'd love to know why Parallel Lines wasn't put on to the Xbox 360. The console was out for nearly half a year by the time of Driver's release, and they did port it to the Wii which arrived 8 months AFTER the game's release... so did they just run out of money for a HD version of the game?
This is the first time I've heard someone say that they like the Saints Row reboot, the game that closed the studio :D
i played driver on pc. yes i never got passed the drive test. so i did the cop chase. that was fun
If anything needs a remaster its driver.
in my opinion driver parallel lines story is a Hollywood movie story especially the time shift and the come back for revenge
The only one I never did revisit was Driver 3. I've played 1 and 2 a few times, even on different platforms. I even bought the GBA version. SF is just amazing still. But that 3rd one...
great games parell lines is amazing its music is king
Hey Pants, my lad! Would you be interested in checking out a unique Time Attack based game called Distance! I believe you'd enjoy the game for sure
Midnight Club still cancelled soz
How many games are there again? Oh yeah a limitless amount.. we are spread out thinly. Maybe if we had cross play on every game we wouldn’t be spread out so thin
Driver 76 I Have On PSP And Was Very Playable For What It Was. And Had Races And Car Custimization.
