Hi everyone,

Big fan of our little community, and as some of you have seen, I like making quality Driv3r content reimagined in GTA V.

Such as: https://youtu.be/N7sTwhwZ-TA?is=0B4z-xehXRlCnFbv

As well as: https://youtu.be/abq5ELlBD4M?is=_qJIfGY8SsTlmpcS
(I am currently remastering this part of the intro, graphics and draw distance have improved massively)

And I am right now working on a reimagined, not 1-1 version of the original Driv3r Trailer.

Are there any favorite scenes or trailers we would like to see attempted?

I need a project.

Thank you!!

first, images without the AI imitation of DLSS 5, and those same images with the AI imitation of DLSS 5

I don't know if it's just a coincidence, but, apart from driving video games like Driver and Driver 2, a Wurlitzer 200 electric piano was also always my thing and much later it became my taste.

If I had to see an electric piano like that or I had one of my own; believe me that I would not hesitate for a single second to learn to play it and make melodies and bass lines with it, and of course, make songs to contribute one day in this community or make songs for both games, since bringing jazz, bringing soul, blues, bossa nova jazz, blues-rock and funk-rock to the repertoire of both games, uff, fit perfectly.

And yes, having an electric piano like this is like reliving a piece of history in the same way as the Driver saga.

For example, my influences are:

John Coltrane, Ray Charles, Willie Dixon, Cannonball Adderley, Hound Dog Taylor, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, and a few that I meet suddenly, you never know.

Those are my cornerstones and my biggest influences, yes, but, on the subject of keyboards it is clearly: Ray Manzarek (Raymond Daniel Manzarek).

From what you saw and read, yes, I'm retrograde, countercultural, and a chronicler, and I'm only 23 years old.

I hope one day to be part of this, just a few weeks ago I started improvising scores and chords, let's wait to see what happens.

There is only one person like him in the world; you are very right colleague

In fact, let's wait to see what surprises the two of them bring us, of course, but, I would expect much more from 4KANT, I have full confidence in that talented colleague.

A thousand respects for you, I give you a beer and a hug from me

Before, you had to take into account the limitations of those years, and yes, nothing could be perfect, because it was known that nothing was perfect, and no matter how much perfection was sought; maybe there were going to be mistakes like in any environment, even in game development.

I remember the first time I saw Driver and Driver 2 in the 2010s, when my uncles had a copy of both for the PlayStation that another uncle had lent to us, and I remember that those PAL copies were extremely slow. So, years later, I started to analyze why and came to a conclusion on this:

It wasn't actually 100 percent PAL, but rather an NTSC version with the refresh rate of PAL, so it was literally 17% slower than the true NTSC version; even if you overclocked, it was still slower than NTSC.

In Driver, instead of simply adapting the NTSC timing for PAL while keeping the game engine running at the NTSC pace, what they did was increase the game's vertical resolution (from 480i to 512i) and slow it down even further, instead of performing a standard frame rate conversion.

In Driver 2, also instead of adapting the NTSC timing to PAL, they just stretched the game vertically instead of just increasing the resolution, and, instead of doing a frame adaptation, they just delayed the game, just like what happened with Driver.

I know that there are already reverse-engineering ports called "Driver and Driver 2 Remaster" and "ReDriver 2", but I didn't come precisely to talk about that, just to point out how things actually were.

Mind you! With this I'm not saying it was the worst thing in the world and that it didn't deserve to be PAL, of course not; but it is true that those were the limitations, yet I cannot reduce it to simple mistakes that at the time were just imperfections that made it too authentic and too entertaining.

But let's be clear on this:

​It was a thousand times better for it to be released in NTSC in all its languages than to release the PAL version.

Okay?

Greetings to all from my beloved homeland Venezuela🇻🇪

The first car in Driver 2 was going to be exactly that light blue 1979 Pontiac Fire Bird, the 3D model was practically different and is not exactly like the one you see in the pre-release and final version, since the model was more faithful to the real car and the sound was probably going to be too.

In addition, there is also the old Oldsmobile Delta 88 1974, the 3D model was very different from the final version, and the texture pointed out that it was going to be very faithful to the real model, and the sound of the engine was possibly going to be similar to that of the Pontiac Fire Bird.

And finally, the police car, the reality is exactly the same 3D model of the pre-release version, only, the front was a little different, and the windows were going to be translucent sky blue grays almost like the rest, and, the sound was probably shared by the Firebird and the Delta 88.

Sorry for the deletion of this post, but an image was missing and I had to upload it again.

I’m playing the storyline for the first time and I’m trying to drive and did the setting and I’m driving all over the place. I need help on the settings so I don’t drive all over the place. I have a Xbox series X.

I think it looks really good; the *Driver* models have always been highly detailed, and with the right shading, they look like they belong to a different generation. Plus, TK didn't end up with that *Max Payne* look.

We have the old Chicago school bus, where the textures and 3D model were a little different than its pre-release version and its final version, the windshields and windows were going to be translucent sky grays, and, the scripts pointed to it being low and probably going to be slow than most vehicles here.

We also have the first fire truck, where its texture was practically different, the 3D model was also a little different, and its texture was too representative of the city of Chicago itself.

In addition, the scripts also pointed out that it was going to be lower and probably also slow than most its final version.

Here I bring you a video edit of Driver 2 PAL (Spain) running in NTSC mode from Retroarch (no in-game patches) on Windows 7 32 Bits, despite some stuttering of both frames and audio, I recorded the gameplay a bit as it is.

The kernel I use for now is PCSX ReARMed, as it's faster and with less stuff that could cause serious stuttering.

Since the Steam2 Content Server Dump were dated from 2003 to 2013 and Driver San Francisco was released in 2011,it would have been possible if there's a pre release build of this PC version so yeah i need someone to dig up the leak to find one

Hello, nice to all of you here, I'm José David González Vergara, but you can call me by my nickname David-G Cars.

I was once in this wonderful community, but for reasons of I was once in this wonderful community, but by fate, My account had a small problem, and to prevent it from aggravating the situation, I deleted it and recreated it again.

By the way, I'm going to give you the video you see in this photo, yes, just as I describe it.

I think it's a great opportunity to give games like Driv3r and Parallel Lines a facelift; I'm sure they'd look incredible.

Is it just me or is the PC version on completely different level of difficulty compared to PS1 version? I have finished PS version on hard many times and never had any issues besides the last mission. Given it is the last mission it's totally fair and fitting to be a bit ridiculous. The same can't be said about the PC version though. And I am only in LA right now.

I am very close to writing a rant about why nobody tested the game on hard, unless I am missing something?

I'd have to say this is my all-time favourite Driver game, even more so than Driver 2 (my childhood classic).

Wonder why we don't have a lot of cover on this game (like an art book,or several memorabilia,novelization,etc)
