You actually helped solve a fever dream my cousins and I have been having for decades. We were being chased by the cops once, came down a jump from one of the inclines and the cop that was chasing us must have hit the roof of another car because it got absolutely *launched* into the air, coming down a few moments later. We never replicated it and no one ever believed us so thanks for the proof and unlocking a core memory :)
You're welcome !

Go to driving games and select survival in San Francisco
It happens all the time and is fun
Things like hitting the cars roof sends you flying reminds me of how Driver is a good example to why we should praise game developers nowdays, because for every aspect of the game they put thought and time into it, for every small detail you see they had to make sure it would work the way it should. For Driver they had to save every bit of memory possible while making sure it would still play as intended, cars parking and other minor things is what made it a banger back in the day, so sad the franchise was abandoned...
Look at it this way, at least the game died with some dignity intact and didn't become utter cringe like Watch Dogs (with both 2 and Legions being terrible offenders of this, 1 is just generic at worst).
The cut pickup is a rather poor attempt at a Ford Ranchero. The car version they didn't cut is based on the 73-76 Ford Gran Torino which also had a pickup or UTE variation. It seems the devs scrapped the truck version because they didn't have time to finish the looks of it properly. It almost looks like the same 3d model as the other pickup but with the Torino's textures.
I was just gonna write this. Always loved the 72 Gran Torino/Ranchero front clip.
i always find you on the same stuff i end up watching lol
@@frigglebiscuit7484 Its that algorithm pulling us together again LoL
Hope you and the Dart are doing well.
I always loved that pick-up truck as a kid, especially in purple. No idea why!
The purple pickup in the garage is the same model as the world pickup just the textures are swapped with that other car even shown in the video. (Torino?)
And honestly the garage version looks better (even tho its weird but still better) then the world version since that one have some weird nonsense texture mapping, like the car door somehow ends in the middle and not where, like its placed half way through it should be and is all wobbly distorted.
You can use it as a meme "we have the El Camino at home" then show this mess XD
Another car that really bothers me is that station vagon, the texturing or lets say layout placements on it doesn't make any sense ...
There are few other mistakes on some cars but these two were always an eyesore. I can't imagine playing this on PC too. On PS1 and with a CRT TV combo I don't mind it but outside of that no thanks ...
Driver 1 and 2 always needed a remake and this comes from a person who hates remakes ...
3:04 - they change lanes often and for no reason.
Yep, so typical Florida drivers then.
7:52 best flip ever
THAT MY FRIEND IS CALLED A WASHING MACHINE FLIP HAHA REAL TRICK
Nice video, however, there are some things that I'll like to add:
- Concerning the colors, there's one unused one that can't be loaded under normal condition, you'll have to use a hack to be able to see it. The way the game loads the traffic car is like a color palette, which the values concerning type and color are pre-determined, and this can also be changed through hacks
- Concerning their paths, you can actually change the path they use by forcing them the direction through code, they'll use their blinkers accordingly to where they go, even if the path doesn't exist and lead them to nowhere.
- Concerning the damage, the civ cars can actually hold the same damage as the player car, however, a special flag is set when the player car hit them, therefore disabling them. If you hit them then turn off the flag, they'll continue to drive like normal. Also, they do not get in collision with buildings or objects to avoid getting them stuck, but this flag can be enabled so that any civ car can hit any objects/buildings.
If you need for any future video, I can provide you a monitor code, which put the camera on them and follow them as long as you want, you can find some funny stuff, like the cops can chase them lol
Still a very nice video, happy to still see people interested in this game!
Nice! I thought that they couldn't collide with other objects for resources saving purpose (processing collusion detection for every car could be heavy for PS1)
Thank you for that comment. I'm not really interested to change things on the game but it's interesting to see what you can find if you do it.
@@Weylmes Comme tu veux, en tout cas si t'as besoin d'infos, chui là :p
The roof and underside reaction was a great way of glitching out of bounds and exploring parts of the map you normally couldn't get to, like the other side of the bridge on SF or the bridges over the highway on Miami.
Funny to see a near identical glitch to the Swing Set from GTA IV all the way back in the original Driver!
5:18 That pickup driver said: Thats it im leaving LA!
i always noticed how there'd be parked ones at night that then drive off without main lights and with just turn signals - then as they reach a certain point they'll magically turn "on" :o
I never heard of the game Driver, however Im also into old games (half life, 1998). So I could understand your passionate towards old games' details. Older games have distinctive visuals, details and atmosphere, and that keeps me with those games. Your video gives similar vibes with half life fact file series. Anyways, I enjoyed your video thanks
Thanks. :)
Wow... I'm old.
Always nice to see a passionate Driver fan, big ups
_Gets the side of their car gently booped by the player vehicle._
*PANIK*
_Gets their car's front engine smashed and caught on fire by another NPC vehicle._
*Kalm*
xddddd
Great game! At some points of the PS1 game, if you get hit hard enough by a cop (while your lined up against a concrete barrier) you can get pushed through the wall and drive around outside the map! You can even drive up to the background planes of LA landing which look like paper cutouts close up lol.
Awesome vid!
Thanks !
Yeah I used to do this, and if you drive far enough outside the map, you'll see some sort of ghost town popping in and out of existence when looking at a specific angle
Also NPC cars seem to have paths way out of bounds where they can spawn and drive normally
Great vid- I never realised how well the taxi crumples. While hitting the roof can lead to great pouncing results- I've found you get more consistent and more spectacular results from instead hitting their muffler right in the middle of the underside, with the front corner of your car. This way you can get much higher sometimes.
That's awesome. I also remember Driver 2 being the opposite: Civ cars were way tougher than your own car when you hit them for some reason.
Actually not true, they took pretty easy damage. The difference though is that you could slam one until it's wrecked and it would keep driving 😂. That is until you steal it anyways.
@@natedunn3469 ... Maybe I'm misremembering it! But I think it's possible to actually wreck them until they won't drive anymore. I mean for the computer, not just the player. I wish I still had the game to check it.
@@pingu4434 it could be, I never spent much time looking at em. I know if they end up against a wall or a pole they won't back up to get off of it, they'll just push against it 😆
Driver a game that came out in 1999 still has better car deformation than gta5
GTA 5 OG cars actually have good body deformation. Now they are too solid.
@@Weylmes I’d agree the OG gta5 did have decent body deformation but… still miles behind what gta4 had to offer.
@@1035pm GTA 4 was something else indeed.
@@Weylmes I disagree. In GTA 4 and 5 they both calculate deformation in a lazy way. Every separate mesh (door, body, fender, hood, bumper etc) is treated as part of the same one. So the car deforms like it was a single piece of clay and you smoothed it. In a real car, those are all separate parts attached only in specific places, so they bend differently to each other. Driver sells that illusion much better with things like bent hoods
@@kyle8952 I’d agree with you there, I think flatout that came out in 2004 had done it just right, cars dented and deformed but also parts would fall off.. it actually looked realistic.
To give credit where it’s due gta4 for an open world game had it just right imo… gta5 on the other hand can eat a big bag of unwashed phalli.
"Fun Fact:" Civilian Cars can crash into you at red lights. Another "Fun Fact:" If a Police Car sees this, they'll blame YOU.
... Both happened to me once while I had no felony charges, and while my car was severely damaged.
Never knew about the npcs parking their cars. That's really impressive! GTA V is the last game I know that does that, though it didn't happen organically like in this one.
Also, I could've sworn there was a van in the PS1 parking garage, too.
Nice video!
PS1 version is full of parked car compared to the PC version so it's more noticable if you stay in the area. Actually, i never spotted a parked car animation on PC.
Driver (1999) is the ultimate classic
I think i hit a cop car on it´s side once on Miami, and my car flew over a highway bridge.
I used to have that replay saved on a memory card
I remember driving at night in this game, I'd make my TV gamma super dark so you cannot see anything that's not in the range of headlights; then pretend I'm the real traffic lol
super neat classic childhood game stuff uwu. such a neat thing some peeps do. appreciate the effort
Thank you. :)
Love these videos! You’re awesome!
Thank you !
This brought back memories. I remember being a little kid and seeing the Driver commercial on TV. I was so excited when I saw a car crash and knock out the headlights. I said I gotta have this game! Decades later I can say I played all the driver games on the PlayStation consoles and it was truly a joy.
love this game, great video exactly as dinner's served 😂
So much effort went into this, good job.
Thank you. :)
The building at 1:54 is the Ping Yuen Mural on Stockton Street in Chinatown, San Francisco. Most of the textures are photographic, it would be interesting seeing how many of them could be tracked down
Oh my glorious vagina. You are right.
Hitting the roof was so much fun and good way to get out of bounds :D
Great video! I love this game
Thank you !
When I played Driver, I never spent time investigating other cars, so I never noticed that there is only 2 cars per city (3 cars if you count the cops) until you said something. As for launching your car off into space when you hit the roof, I always had a blast doing it in San Francisco when I was chased by the cops. I always led them to the area past the Golden Gate Bridge and then started to have fun with them and tried to get over the concrete barrier
Regarding car colors: there is one more "secret" NY cab color that you don't see in Take A Ride. Those differently colored cabs appear in "The Ali Situation/Problem" (and maybe in "Grand Central Station Switch", didn't test it there though) as roadblock cars in the second part if you get enough felony. They act as pursuers (obviously) and they are also stupidly squishy compared to their black sedan "friends", almost like that Superfly car that you drive in one mission in Miami.
Great video, mate!
The music selection is also nice.
The car physics (suspension details, etc.) in this game do not even exist in today's games.
Even though it was a Ps1 game, it had such physics and car damage details. Absolutely surprising!
Also, playing the game at 60 FPS breaks the "touching the roof of the car" glitch. It reduces the height of the flight/jump. (If you play with original/low FPS you will experience big flying)
BTW, you should also make such videos about Driver 2! You will see different results.
There will be Driver 2 videos at some point !
@@Weylmes That's cool!
That used to be my absolute favorite thing to do in his game, hit the roof of a sideways tipped car.
i like these types of videos theyre in depth on games keep on making videos like this please also im subscribing
Thank you. :)
In the PC version there were more civilian car variations I guess the ps1 lack of other cars was due to the systems limitations at the time
I loved the exhaust sounds on this game. Especially the idle lol
This game was hard.
New York had 2 impossible missions.
The first one was almost impossible but I did beat that mission. The 2nd was the last mission.
5:00 I never knew about these strange traffic behaviors. I've been playing this game since at least 2001 and I somehow never noticed this lol. It's amazing that I learn new things about this game after all these years.
kinda sad how a ps1 game has better soft body crash physics then a modern game like gta 5...
I spent about 3 months playing this game in 99 and never noticed there were only 2 models of NPC cars around me in a given city!
7:30 my favorite thing about driver. Sometimes in survival San Fran the cops will flip you over. If got hit another cars roof with yours you go flying several miles up.
Really like the music you used. Will watch this video just for the music, while driving to work.
I really like the music as well. :)
Haha nice. It reminds me of ‘The Sims’.
Good video, this answered lots of questions.
Thanks. :)
Videos regarding driver 2 would be interesting too. Especially what they changed or even improved on
I would like to do Driver 2 content. It will happens at some point i hope.
Wish the driver series would make a return to modern consoles
This community well never die 🥰
2:38 is so much Miami driving style, except for the blinkers. lol
Weirdly enough the roof glitch applies to every car in driver 1, even the player car!
I wonder what causes it
The game engine performs some calculations regarding the speed, angle and mass of the object hitbox. The car roof maybe could have some fixed values to repel other cars avoiding stacking they up.
Just a theory...I am curious too.
It's a bug in the physics code. Certain values are not clamped and do not take certain deltas into consideration, and _both_ cars will run the same calculations. This was fixed in Driver 2 and I was able to backport the code to the PC version, and sure enough it fixed the roof collision issues. Would love to go into more detail someday!
I think it's that the hit box on the car is open up top and at the bottom, meaning that upon hitting the top or bottom of the car places you deep within the hit box thus causing the results of intense impact. That's my theory anyways 😆.
I may have a little theory about why touching a sideways car's roof sends you flying...
I think what happens here is that cars touching roofs are set to be pushed upwards. In normal circumstances, it would simply make your car bounce off of roofs.
7:28 If you go frame by frame, the car touching the sideways roof seems to be building up vertical speed instead of getting launched instantly, almost like there's a gust of wind coming from bellow. You can see that happen everytime!
That probably happens because touching it when it's sideways causes your car to remain in contact with the roof for longer, thus pushing you upwards way more often than intended. It added vertical speed for every frame that you were in contact with the roof and that's what sent you flying!
... But again, it's just a theory. This is probably all wrong for all I know, but it's fun to speculate I suppose.
It has something to do with "levers" in the physics code. I experimented with backporting the physics from REDRIVER2 into the PC version, and the part of the code that does "lifting" is different and clamps more of the math, as well as using more information from the collision in calculations. I honestly can't remember exactly what fixes it, but it was definitely resolved in Driver 2 for sure.
Beautiful video, a game of my childhood 😊
Thank you. :)
I see Driver content, I thumbs up and subscribe.
Thank you. :)
Here we are, showing how wacky the civilian cars drive in this 25 year old video game and they still drive more civilized than anybody on the road does today lol.
Man, I played this game soooo damn much as a kid. Along with Interstate 76.
I love detailed driver videos like this
Thanks. :)
This is the PS1 version in the Computer version, the cars are drawn a little differently. But thanks for the video anyway! Nostalgia, I played this game in 1999 =)) Greetings from Yakutia
Damn I know im stoned when im watching videos like this .. Time for bed
I remember buying this game for PC when i was like 12 and playing for hours just to find new glitches lol
I loved Driver 1 and 2 but the best by far for me was Driver Parallel lines , so much fun i had playing that game , wish it was on PS4
Such good times growing up, before the internet 😭🤧
Everything on this game was nice Except one thing. With single touch you got heavy damage on your car. Driver 2 was better on this matter but driver 2 suffer from low fps and blinkers 😅
7:30 the good old days 😢
Is anyone remember when you throw outside map you still can driving outside map? That was funny and scary in same time because after you going far away from main map everything became dark and you found zombie cars driving in sky. I saw this in ps1 version when i was child. In driver 2 when you throw outside map you instantly become dead
You could also find some little town, usually just a road and some buildings on both sides with civilian cars driving on it.
1:01 That is the magic of photorealistic graphic on 4 MB Voodoo I: 1 texture on different models.
My first PC game. Love it so much. It was so fun to play and i laughed so hard seeing cars fly into the air. San Francisco is the best and funniest map
Hitting at an angle underneath or roof on Survival mode San Francisco. Ahh so much fun.
cool video, is this your first driver ps1 facts video?
Thanks & yes. More to come !
7:32 I used to do this to police cars all the time in survival mode in San Francisco lol. I would go to the first hill and let the cops jump over the hill and more often times than not they would flip onto their side or on their roof. I would then hit their roof and go flying into one of the buildings lol. I also did this in Take A Ride mode in Miami where I would make the cops jump those curved bridges and flip onto their side so I could hit their roof lol.
I do wonder now about good ol Driver 2.
You should narrate these, just the sort of thing I would love to fall asleep to.
My english is not good enough for this and i also have the most pronounced french accent you could ever hear. 😅
Miami Car 1 was always my favorite traffic car in Driver. I wish it was drivable without cheats.
iirc the devs in this game also worked on the PS1 demo derby game so the damage makes sense
懐かしい〜
この頃の箱庭ゲーとして良く出来てたよね
Miss this game
now this is a game that need a remake, not the last of us part 2...
I wonder why does hitting turned NPC car roof sends your car flying 🤔
I didnt know there was a PC version of this game.
I still have a copy of this game.
Man that crash sound is goofy lol
Jesus... Last time I touched this game was when I was 7 or so.
Driver1 best game on ps 1 for me
Siempre he tenido miedo de tocar un auto por debajo y salir disparado por los aires desde que jugué estos drivers 1 y 2 :(
The PC version had more car variety like vans
Driver 1 looks like gta 5 online on an old generation console in 2023
Me and my friends and family believed that the purple cars (in Miami) are police in disguise/police informants, every time we see one we either act cool or ram the fuck out of it, no idea how we came up with that conclusion (I guess we see one or two each time a chase sequence gets started) and I dk why I still think it's true, I guess this fact has been engraved in my mind since when I was a kid.
Shout out to those who never got passed the tutorial!
Great game

also how did you record this i want to know how since it doesnt look too pixely please tell me how you recorded it
Wondershare Filmora
@@Weylmes no like how do you get the footage of the game
@@maxiawesomekid899 Duckstation
@@Weylmes what’s that?
@@Weylmes thanks you should definitely keep on doing videos like this because this is my favourite type of video
What about Driver 2? Could you do the same for this?
Will do this one day.
3:58
*HE HIT MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AND HE TRYNA LEAVE!!!!*
The big mistake was all the cars having the same top speed... Should have been a lot more variation 😮
Amc pacer? Is you? 😂
I think the pickup truck that appears at 8:47 is actually the pickup truck that appears normally in Los Angeles, but with a different texture.
still the best DRIVER game they made
Have you tried Driver 2?
Driver 1 and Driver 2 were among the best Driver games.
And vehicle physics are still more realistic than new games today.
Is there any playable secret cars in Driver 1 PS1
or we Stuck with the 4 cars we have
I think you can access to other cars with gameshark codes.
Does anybody understand the road markings in San Francisco? They seem so random.
The algorithm got a boner to this video. Like I maximally from time to time listen to the driver ost and despite that this video was on the TOP of my recomendation page. Lucky you.
Edit: Im repairing an old PS1 that I got for 30 bucks. Soon I will be able to play Driver again. Im really excited.
UA-cam algorithm being very kind to me once again.
Lol that’s so niche
USA have yellow lines on road in real life not
I never liked the PS1 version couldn't compare to the PC. Ive always loved the lopey idle of the player car.
Graphics sucks when i played this game on 2004
The graphics weren't even that bad.
In 2004 there were just games with (naturally) better graphics.
This game is from 1999 and is a Ps1 game.
