When I first saw this review, I was encouraged to play the game. My friend let me use his PS3 with his own copy of Driver: SF, just stoped for the night, and went to watch this review once more. His jokes do get funnier when you can relate to them; at first I thought that "jumping is the local currency" was just to point how easy it was to do it, but now I know that he actually meant that. Boy do I have games to put on my list...
Agreed, I love how the physics are arcadish in how it's easy to correct a drift without losing control but all the cars have a sense of weight to them which you notice with the muscle cars. It also avoids the weird on-rails handling that games like NFS or GTA V do. The game even models *torque reactions* when you rev the engine, something that took BeamNG.drive until 0.11 to do.
So underrated. People used to complain about the demo, how weird it feels as a driving game. I think the developers made an amazing job implementing the use of 'Shift' which is so uncommon as a concept, but executed perfectly.
Rocks fall and everyone dies is an old dnd joke for when the dm is feed up with everyone’s bullshit and just says “rocks fall and everyone dies” rather than continuing to play.
Was a surprisingly good game. Only rented before though. A bit hokey and all that around the edges, but more than worth the price you'll find it for in your local bargain bin since the game is pushing five years old now. I just checked and realized this has a port on Steam. Well I know what I just squandered twenty dollars on.
The only "DLC" was the Deluxe edition on Steam that simply included three new challenges and additional cars in multiplayer (The Lamborghini Miura, Aston Martin DB-5 and Shelby Cobra 427) but I love games that have no DLC and any updates including new content are free and it's why I absolutely adore other games that do this like Torchlight II, Terraria, etc. Because when I buy a game, I don't want to pay even more for what is essentially content installed on the game anyways... Next game I buy that has DLC, I should just crack it.
"Do you want to hear something crazy and coherent? Julia Roberts was hospitalised for swallowing an entire vole!" *opens a tab on google* "Do you want to hear something crazy but also coherent and true?" *closes the tab on google*
Please. You think it takes that long for people to get nostalgic? It's a rare day to not come across someone nostalgic for something from six months ago.
I remember playing this when I was younger and I just remember jumping between cars and making them crash. I now have the special fluffy dies hanging on my door and it's on my wish list on Steam because I want to drive the Deloaren
Side note: 1) Put it at 1.5-2 speed 2) Watch what happens when Yahtzee gets coked off his balls. 3) Laugh until your lungs explode and shoot out your urethra.
Ubisoft: Wow! A driving game even Yahtzee, a guy who hates driving games, liked! Also Ubisoft: Let's remove it from every marketplace everywhere! Also Also Ubisoft: NFTS!
In a race, you win by default if you wreck everyone else. And in the final mission, you're in the real world, meaning no shift, no boosting, and no designated ramming ability. (Ramming allows you to deal more damage to cars, possibly one shotting them if you hit them with a bus or a big rig, and it makes your own car temporarily invincible, though missing will slow you down, it must be charged, and this drains a meter which is also used for boosting. Even when fully charged.)
Uh...I don't remember being able to use astral projection in Driver San Francisco. ..as in, at all... ...which could mean one of three things: 1. he was kidding 2. I forgot because I haven't played the game in a while 3. this feature was not included in the Wii version of the game for some reason
Well, the main character dies, and the entire game takes place while he's in a coma. So, by 'astral projection', Yahtzee means being able to float above the city and pick any car driving in the city.
jd johnson The Wii version is almost always made by a completely different studio that's given nothing more than the cover of the game to work off of (A third studio usually works on the DS version with only the title).
Carrot letters are letters that follow what is known as a "carrot", and any carrot works with carrotletters. Greentext is text that is green, and only works with the "greater than" carrot on websites that have the greentext feature.
Man, I my brother got an original white Xbox 360 from someone a while ago and it had this game in it, we were shocked it still worked honestly. I loved it for a while before it got boring and I remembered that I don't like racing games.
The only real solution is too watch every single one and then watch every one he posts and then die happy knowing that you have heard the voice of a debating god.
Meroth33 I'll have you know that I played Driver: san francisco (Wii & Xbox 360 versions), and Driver: Parallel lines, along with numerous other Car games, before I played Call of Duty.
Potius Mori That is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. How does ones' profile picture immediately dictate what a person is like? For example, if someone has a profile picture of a bomb, does that mean they're a terrorist? No. That's ridiculous.
In fairness, Yahtzee's use of the term critic to describe himself is an extension of Literary or Film Criticism, that is to say it considers and analyses the artwork's aspects in full, its place in society and its field. As it goes, not all games are art, so some of the stuff drops to the level of reviews or rants; regardless of that, it's commercial journalism, not an article for an academic journalism, so that's no bad thing as long as it's entertaining.
Got this today after seeing it going for £4.99 on Steam, so far, I agree with pretty much everything, don't think i've giggled so much at a game in years.
3:15 Oh now I get the reference. Someone is playing too much Saints Row 3. The Handbrake button of that game is exactly the same button as the Shift in DSF.
The only thing fun about this game to me was playing free roam with friend/family in splitscreen and making up our own modes. Like Cops 'n Robbers, one person is the robber and can't changes their chosen vehicle and one is a cop who uses vehicles to destroy the robbers car - rinse and repeat.
You can't even buy this game from the publisher Ubisoft anymore. They discontinued the game because it didn't "Receive enough support to keep it *Live*". You can only buy this game in disc form, from key sellers, or just torrent it.
Okey dokey, I don't know a whole lot about F1 or BTCC, but races like the Bathurst 1000 do require a lot of physical ability. Speaking as someone who's met several of the racers, I, and most other people, wouldn't be able to go a thousand kilometres (by the way, the longest F1 track is 26 km) at anywhere between 130 and 300 km an hour. I mean, all of that level of racing is very physically taxing, so I don't think it's fair to say one doesn't require as much physical exertion as the other.
Thank you, sir. I had lost all faith in the Driver series after 3 but it may pay to give it another go. So long as the story line isn't the same for the 5th game in a row...
I've had driver sf since around 2014, I am now the 50th best player in the world. The driving physics are the best in any game ever, they're idiot proof and if you're good its very rewarding.
Oh, one thing you could have done in the gameplay, is that if you are losing in a race, quickly get a truck that's oncoming and smash into your opponents head on, and voila, race winning potential! Until you realise that you've also ultimately fucked yourself but you don't care because you're in a coma anyway.
I seriously hated the fact that when racing you spun out like fucking mad even if you drove a buggy with dirt tires on dirt it spun out like a car on ice, I hated that when racing your opponents got some magic fucking speed increase when you passed them and they got a speed decrease when they passed you. It made it so fucking frustrating and hard to win since they were never out of the race, even though you weren't either you take advantage of them being out alot more often and I lost like 70%.

I heard Yahtzee say "procrastinating" and realized "Oh shit, I have a paper to write!"
Thanks for helping me not get a zero, Yahtzee!
Swerve and Project!
I know I'm 3 years late but 1) you have the coolest name ever and 2) AYYYYYYYYYY
When I first saw this review, I was encouraged to play the game.
My friend let me use his PS3 with his own copy of Driver: SF, just stoped for the night, and went to watch this review once more.
His jokes do get funnier when you can relate to them; at first I thought that "jumping is the local currency" was just to point how easy it was to do it, but now I know that he actually meant that.
Boy do I have games to put on my list...
+Fernando Langalú I found that funny how it was literal too in that jumping actually rewards WP to spend.
The moment a youtuber I like recommends a game, why do I instantly go to Yahtzee to confirm it's not shit
Nick Robinson amarite
I came here because Nick's vid gave me dejavu
Same :b
In my case it was to revisit this funny video. It was worth it.
Oh shit it's cool cat!
As someone who plays racing games more than any other genre, I can assure you this game has one of the best arcade physics engines I've ever played.
Agreed, I love how the physics are arcadish in how it's easy to correct a drift without losing control but all the cars have a sense of weight to them which you notice with the muscle cars. It also avoids the weird on-rails handling that games like NFS or GTA V do. The game even models *torque reactions* when you rev the engine, something that took BeamNG.drive until 0.11 to do.
So underrated. People used to complain about the demo, how weird it feels as a driving game. I think the developers made an amazing job implementing the use of 'Shift' which is so uncommon as a concept, but executed perfectly.
I love when Yathzee's character looks right into the cam. I can't help but think he's looking specifially at me.
He had fun? :o
Weird to see Patterz pop up in a 9 year old ZP video but a pleasant surprise
'Sweet jump currently favored over euro.' However, Moola, Cheddar, and Dead Presidents are still oddly even with Sweet Jumps.
2:35 Did Yahtzee predict G.O.T's ending?
THANK YOU
I'm so glad someone else thought of this
Rocks fall and everyone dies is an old dnd joke for when the dm is feed up with everyone’s bullshit and just says “rocks fall and everyone dies” rather than continuing to play.
1:18 and since it takes place in San Fransisco, i think Midtown Madness 2 was a inspiration.
Was a surprisingly good game. Only rented before though.
A bit hokey and all that around the edges, but more than worth the price you'll find it for in your local bargain bin since the game is pushing five years old now.
I just checked and realized this has a port on Steam.
Well I know what I just squandered twenty dollars on.
the big reason i loved this game is that it was thrown at you by ubisoft with them saying: 'this is it, no fucking dlc. this is all of it'
The only "DLC" was the Deluxe edition on Steam that simply included three new challenges and additional cars in multiplayer (The Lamborghini Miura, Aston Martin DB-5 and Shelby Cobra 427) but I love games that have no DLC and any updates including new content are free and it's why I absolutely adore other games that do this like Torchlight II, Terraria, etc.

When you are actually procrastinating and Yahtzee is calling you out
Just think in 10 years or so people will be watching this video for the sake of nostalgia.
Buddy, it's been 4 years, I'm already watching for nostalgia
+cptnoremac did you revisit his comment for nostalgia? Because it's been a week, and I'm revisiting your comment for nostalgia.
Way ahead of ya.
(Breathes in) There's that nostalgia
Please. You think it takes that long for people to get nostalgic?
It's a rare day to not come across someone nostalgic for something from six months ago.
Jericho's Boss Fight is easily some of the most memorable boss fights in video game history.
Found your old comment.
I appreciate your good taste in racing games.
I remember playing this when I was younger and I just remember jumping between cars and making them crash. I now have the special fluffy dies hanging on my door and it's on my wish list on Steam because I want to drive the Deloaren
1:Put it at half speed.
2:Watch what happens when Yahtzee gets drunk.
3:Laugh your ass off.
i tried this and he sounds even more drunk than A kind ale war
Plus the theme song gets 10 times more badass.
Side note:
1) Put it at 1.5-2 speed
2) Watch what happens when Yahtzee gets coked off his balls.
3) Laugh until your lungs explode and shoot out your urethra.
It's always awesome when a game surprises you with its quality. Just kind of surprised it was this game, and it surprised Yahtzee.
This game really was one of the most surprisingly good games of last gen.
i subscribed about 5 mins ago just to watch Zero Punctuation.
then i find that A NEW ONE has been uploaded 20 mins ago!?!

Yes, I know.
Except that never happened on the wii version.
Nintendo for the win

i appreciate that he opens every review of a racing game with a spiel about how he's not good at them
I really like driv3r. it is one of those games that is so laughably broken that it just puts a smile on your face everytime you play it
BP Petracek well sorry

This was such a great game when I found it. I'm heartbroken it hasn't gotten a remake.
Also released the 14. September 2011 on their website. Still gonna rewatch it.

i did. he mentioned it in the flob-athon weekend when he picked up a rose and quoted ZP:minecraft
Someone help i can't stop watching yahtzee really i can't!!!
I fucking lost it, at the indestructible butterfly joke XDDD
I've noticed that in the Driver games, the cutscenes always have better quality than the gameplay.
Your display pic is Call of Duty, you have no opinion.

no,i turn it of as soon as i hear the end. then i hop on to the next one. LOL!
