YES! IT'S HAPPENING! I've followed the Driver franchise since it's first game, You Are The Wheelman in 1999, so this is a Christmas Miracle in itself to hear.
I played it on PS3 about 6 months ago. When I tired to play online I was surprised to see the servers were still available. I even found a handful of people who were playing it.
same happened with fat princess, i was told that the servers had been taken down years ago, and then i, just for the hell of it, try out the online mode... and i'm in, there were other people playing and everything, i'm just assuming some dedicated fans came together and somehow made functional servers for even non-cfw/hen ps3's just out of spite for fat princess adventures
@@herrcobra_05 no you don't! the code did not work and everyone has access to it! I didnt try with my HFW though but I used to have a copy and and it worked without having to use the passport code. I remember it used to say you have 9999hrs until activation or something LOL. That's why he made this joke at 14:54
This was the first game I played on a console, for 10 minutes. I fell in love with the game in those 10 minutes. Fast forward to a couple years ago, I got an xbox 360 for free and finally found a physical disc for Driver:SF. Fast forward to today, I got a job and bought a Series X and can play with the only friend I made in those years leading up to today. :)
I was already aware of the servers for this game's multiplayer still being open months ago so when I read the title, I thought that Panthaa meant that they were reselling it on steam or something. Kinda got myself hyped up for a second 😔
I don't see many shoutouts to Chonky! He's a real one for coming through for this video, and ended up being a really fun addition. I'd love to see him pop up in some more videos :)
Bro I feel like games back then weren’t afraid to have an imagination and try things .. idk this game just gives me nostalgia to where I was in a better place in life mentally!!
One of the best and fun games I've ever played. Even 2 player split screen and all the challenges apart from the story was awesome. It was like the original driver when you play challenges. My favorite game ever made I can safely say!!!
I was playing on my XBSX last night and thought I was going crazy when I saw the online mode was working, I had no idea they jumpstarted the servers. I hope this doesn't change.
I completely forgot about the online mode on this game. My brother and I used to play it all the time and it was always so much fun! I might need to get it and get all my brother's playing it
Hey blackpanthaa cool video. Yeah driver San Francisco is a pretty neat game. It's pretty unique with the shift feature they have that you can shift into any vehicle you see. I think the sing player career had a pretty decent story. It would be neat if they were to make a game like this again. I think in some respects maybe the crew 1 and the crew games are sort of like a spiritual successor to the driver games correct me if I'm wrong. They have some elements I think in the recent crew games of driver san francisco in them. In a future dlc for the crew motorfest they could maybe add a playlist or mission that gives at least a nod to the driver games including driver sf. I dont mean to be too critical but the only thing that maybe they should of updated or changed in driver san francisco is the nitrous/boost visuals. When you use the nitrous you kind of notice something but maybe adding like flames from the exhaust pipes like other racing games that have nitrous or boosts in them. It doesnt have to be like nfs unbound is with the effects in that game when you use nitrous. It should be similar to like the crew motorfest where you just see flames or fire from the exhaust pipes and maybe the screen blurs to make you feel as if you're picking up speed. Other than that I think driver san francisco is a neat game to try out. As you mentioned but in single player theres not just races they have activities/events were you have take someone down or go through checkpoints to get somewhere in time. What is again that is a selling point I think of the game is the shift feature where whatever other traffic vehicles you can see you can sort of teleport into that vehicle and drive it for example you're driving around somewhere and theres a dump truck in front of you. If you want to have it moved away you just shift into it and you can drive it away and switch back to the vehicle you were just driving. Like I said above maybe they could add to the crew motorfest like a mission or playlist where you do an event in which you have to switch to another vehicle similar to driver san francisco to complete an objective for example. Driver san francisco again I think is a cool game. I think the premise is neat. It's a unique driving game for it's time. It also has sort of a 1970s vibe to it I think aswell. Take care blackpanthaa it's good seeing from you looking forward to more vids.
I'm wondering if this is a clue to a potential new game in the series at some point in the future. Didn't a similar thing happen to TDU2? I loved Driver SF, OK the story was terrible but I thought the overall package was good, and it was always fun to jump back in for a cruise about.
One of my favorite car games ever, the online community in this game back then was awesome, like it's was a breath of fresh air somebody messaging me to tell me I was a great driver instead of being insulted from COD players...Just bought it again for 5 buck at a trift store, that why I love the Xbox series X, got this along with Midnight club LA, can't wait to play those again!
IVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR WEEKS!! it's been online since september on the xbox 0 and i really want the acheivements but there's absolutely nobody online so i just hang out in the waiting lobby
Why games like this stay under the radar ??😔 This game is an unique racing game, not like other generic racing games.The swapping cars in the middle of race is amazing , reminds me of Battlefield 2 Modern Combat where you can swap soldiers to soldiers in the middle of the war 😁
ive never saw this games multiplayer. for real racing games got really bad over the years. this 10+ years old game has more mulitplayer content(and better matchmaking system) than newer racing games combined. its crazy how racing games glow down.
Panthaa, you can still play this on PC though, via Alcatraz mod. I hope the PC version of TC1 will have an offline mod eventually, too. But that's assuming Ubisoft doesn't do something stupid like send the community a C&D for trying.
The servers apparently go off and online a fair bit. I have 5 copies of this game that I share between my mates, we should set up a maxed out multiplayer lobby all together! 😆
I didnt have xbox live back when I played this game. This one time I took my disc to my dads house and played it there. He had xbox live and I think you had a code or some weird liscence tied to the disc where you could only play online with one console or account using that disc. I remember being so sad when I finally got xbox live 😢
So we say goodbay to "The Crew" and say hello to "Driver: San Francisco"? You know when we use the term "GTA logic"... now is safe to say "Ubisoft logic"
Ubisoft: we're shutting down The Crew
Also Ubisoft: we're upping Driver San Francisco Online
The crew shutting down is them saying buy the crew motorfest and the crew 2
@@scarfaceReaper Which hopefully means they start work on a second installment for Driver San Francisco
@@definitelylomboyeah, get crew outta here, no R32, we need a new driver San Francisco right away
A soul for a soul 😔
@@Vslrxgf8 yep with a newly revamped and detailed story
One of the best racing games. Iconic map, fun gameplay, unique missions, banging soundtrack. What an underrated masterpiece.
It was amazing. It doesn't even need a remaster. Compared to the games they release these days at least lol
But it Atleast needs some new cars we can’t just look at 1970-2012 cars forever
Could possibly use a UI Refresh
Handling fixes and bug fixes
Maybe map fixtures remove invisible walls ???
Cant believe this is back online,im re-downloading it.also on series x its got 60fps boost

No, not worth it.
@@silence9791probably not that hard to make it an offline game
if crew copies these types of game modes for online rather than just having grand race, the game would be soooo much fun

well done g
This was such a great game, I wish they did a sequel.
Wasnt as great as Driver 3
@cerberus276gaming6 it was it's own game. You can't compare this to any other game lol. Driver or not!!
Isnt this game the sequel to Driver Parallel Lines?
The downfall to Driv3r is that they rushed to release it. However I loved the game and played in free roam for hours at a time @cerberus276gaming6
They need to remaster this game
Am happy to see driver SF online again its just so nostalgic
ubisoft should put it back for sale. I would actually pay full price for this legendary game
I was already aware of the servers for this game's multiplayer still being open months ago so when I read the title, I thought that Panthaa meant that they were reselling it on steam or something. Kinda got myself hyped up for a second 😔
The multiplayer is like an alternate universe of burnout paradise. It's awesome
When I saw 0:37 I shut down my pc and immediately put my disk into my series x. Thank you for telling me this! I'm so happy
Underrated game it’s a shame it got poor ratings bc we neeeed another driver game
Playing this as a kid for HOURS and to see it alive still today... that's just crazy.
I don't see many shoutouts to Chonky! He's a real one for coming through for this video, and ended up being a really fun addition. I'd love to see him pop up in some more videos :)

2:40 & 2:46
Normally, instant deaths are my biggest fear (in games)
but this... only if the player truly have a (in-game) death wish. XD
Ah Driver...
If the theme from the tutorial from the first game invades your head when you read/hear/see Driver games you are a legend
That moment when Driver SF had the best burnout smoke of all racing games. :D
Honestly it's still the best in my opinion 😂
I love driver SF with every ounce of me, so its a christmas miracle that its up again! I hope Ubisoft tries to bring back driver some time!
I was playing on my XBSX last night and thought I was going crazy when I saw the online mode was working, I had no idea they jumpstarted the servers. I hope this doesn't change.
Bro it’s so crazy to see people still playing, love it’s alive
I completely forgot about the online mode on this game. My brother and I used to play it all the time and it was always so much fun! I might need to get it and get all my brother's playing it
Wasn’t there a petition to get Driver SF back online a few months ago?
Years at this point. Honestly glad this is happening
6:45 did he really said what i think?
6:45 WHAT DID HE JUST SAY???
i know right
It made me so happy seeing you actually buy a physical disc BUY PHYSICAL DISC STOP THE DIGITAL MONOPOLY SONY AND MICROSOFT IS TRYING TO CREATE 💯
I’m so glad I had this on physical copy for my 360. Then got a series S and that didn’t happen anymore.
John Tanner vs. Charles Jericho is almost like Batman vs. The Joker.
They should make it purchasable again, honestly would pay full price.
I remember this game and oh my gosh I can’t believe it’s back!
My childhood game so underated

I had no idea this game had backwards compatibility, putting in my disk and playing it right now!
This has brang back so many memories from ps3 ❤ one of the best games to ever exist in racing game history
The hackers actually got the source code for the game and yeah, this was part of the ransom.
Damn. Fair ransom though. Mind linking a source I can't find anything on it
@@TeamSylver hackerforums, can't link on YT
The PlayStation servers are up!
I tried this a while ago and did not work. So nice to hear this thanks. Hopefully it will also happen to Army of Two The 14th Day
Better physics than Asphalt 9

This game is my childhood. Even if I can't play it online I love to see hat people still into it to this day.
I hope to see some of the cars from this game like the Ford Gran Torino make their way over to The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest.
Hopefully they bring back the Driver series. I think Driver 1 was my very first game ever actually.
So many creative modes and activities you just don’t see in racing games nowadays, really sad.
For me it had THE BEST drift handling of any racing game ever

Hrs black hes aloud to say the n word

i hope theyll bring it back on the store
I wish they bring this game back on the store

I remember playing this game as a kid before it was put offline and all on my Xbox 360 with my brother. Good times.
Surprised you didn’t play it on the elite PC
Not sure the servers are on PC, also my legit copy is stuck on a long lost machine and Ubisoft won't deactivate that copy 😟

Hey Blackpanthaa, when you get a chance can you do a full Let's Play of Midnight Club Los Angeles 😀
I used to play driver online back in the day only problem was there was no one online in almost all the different modes.

YES!
It's time to Bring Back DRIVER Baby
Awesome game,on xbox series x it has 60fps boost as well
Can't believe this game still beats most games these days a drivers classic . By the way still play game time too time on ps3
Such a unique car game loved it so much during the time i got to play it and ill definetly play it again
We need a new age version! I loved also Midtown Madness which also had awesome multiplayer modes like cops & robbers..
Panthaa, you can still play this on PC though, via Alcatraz mod. I hope the PC version of TC1 will have an offline mod eventually, too. But that's assuming Ubisoft doesn't do something stupid like send the community a C&D for trying.

TELL ME WHEN !!!??
That's is fantastic, a love this game but i never had played the online mode and is incredable i hope some day this game recive at least a remaster.
I love this game so much
Chonky was such a great addition to this vid😂
As long as Soapy keeps Alcatraz online. Pc has servers.
I remember there was a petition going I signed a couple times it had thousands of people signed on it
Gaming companies could easily make so much money by reviving the multiplayer in a lot classic games.
I played the game but had no wifi back then because we were poor but man I was happy for playing this game tho
imagine they update the game and add new cars.....after all these years.
that would be EPIC 😢
Yoo pantha you gotta play Motor Town behind the wheel, severly underated driving/racing game
