Totally agree, though I played it in the PS1, but Driver 1 on PC is much better... Driver 3 for example I still liked the gameplay, the graphics were pretty damn good back then, but it was all bugged for me, never could really play it that well or enjoy it as much as Driver 1 or Driver 2, but I also liked all that came after Driver 3 however the latest driver even though the gameplay was also good I hated what it had become with powers and strange crap that was never part of the Driver series... Totally miss a new good Driver made like it should have been kinda more like GTA but with the better improved and awesome old driver like gameplay and physics, I really enjoyed the suspension and Driver gameplay.
The Nuclear Brony yes but driver 2 was too much..... it looked ugly as hell and the frame rate came to a crawl at times. The bridge that lifts used to dissappear when close up... ropey as hell.
The Nuclear Brony Imagine If Driver 2 only had 1 disc to play missions without changing discs cause of Undercover mode ( cutscenes were the reason of 2 discs )
Jeez. Is it really a new news that I guess about 70% of cd media games actually had cd-audio?? It was really common. Even like tomb raider had its ambiance sounds as cd-audio. Not as effects.
If you load up a ps1 disc in a PlayStation and then take the game out without turning off the machine then put a music disc in and the music will play while you are playing the game.
Grew up playing the PC version many years ago. I recently got into collecting the 6th and generation consoles with PS1 being the only 5th gen exception (will start on N64 soon or later). Just picked up Driver for PS1 and it blew me away the differences. Hell the PS1 version doesn't even have carnage mode!
Technically the PC version is far better, particularly in the area of graphics. However I would say that I probably prefer the PS1 version overall. It could be purely nostalgic, but I also think that the city feels more alive on the PS1, and I prefer the music. One may argue that I am a fanboy of the PS1 version, though I went a long time between playing the PS1 version and playing the PC version, and when I played the PC version I didn't realize anything was different. It wasn't until I played the PS1 version again after playing the PC version for quite a while that I realized how different they really are, but I had grown fond of the PC version, so I don't think my thoughts are of PS1 fanboy-ism.
As with the ps2 GTA games, Driver was designed first and foremost with PlayStation in mind. The PC ports, while superior in many ways, are merely byproducts as they lack the final touches added by the creators that were intended to be brought to life, through the playstation.
From what I remember the development team was split at some point during development, one made the PSX version and the other the PC version. This leads to the many differences between both versions like car models, feature differences (PSX didn't feature regular pedestrians at all and no utility vehicles) and many smaller differences in world design.
Gotta love those PS1 jaggies. Having played the PS1 version first I can say it was a great game for its time. Looking at the PC version though you can see it clearly outclassed the PS1 version in every way. PC ran the game at 800x600 while the PS1 was 320x240.
PlayStation looks way better... just look at how little detail the pc version has.. the back of the cars are just blurs compared to the ps1 you can actually see back lights and the same goes for the front.
Almost every Game is better on ps1 ps2 ps3 until ps4 era than compared to pc they are almost equal look at the effects look at the sun on the ps1 version, on the PC one is missing when I see these stupid comments I'm like what stupidity .Its not all about resolution, textures pixel count ,detail, content gameplay, everything must be accounted to select definitive version
The PC version looks sharper and runs faster no doubt, but the PSX version has a lot more city details like coffee tables, boxes and stuff. You can clearly see that in the video. It comes down to what you prefer more, game rich with details that runs slowly or bare bones game that runs fast.
What I miss with the original driver was the the broken physics shit lol "both pc and console version had it but It was still different.. pc didnt have that thing that PS1 version had yeah I'm all about PC better graphics, frames and etc but PS1 Driver takes the cake for me" ..... It was so much fun flipping your cars over in survival mode (San Francisco was my favorite) ... cops had insane speed and aggression and you'd purposely try to flip your car and have cop cars ram you full speed and watch them flip into the air.. specially when your car was sliding on its side... all these different angles depending on your speed would cause immense "air hangtime" I had so many replays saved on my PS1 memory cards lol fun times... but most of my "nostalgia" comes from that those times where I was like 7-8 years old playing survival mode trying to trigger these "flipping cars" for countless hours at night....and saving those that had the most insane hangtime or bizzare flips.. man those were fun times!
The crashes were insane but the handling itself beats a lot of modern games which fear to make driving skill a factor and have to compensate with ridiculous stunts ...and then they wonder why driving games got less popular
Some of the best ones were when they'd fly so high that the cars would launch over the buildings and leave the playable area, than they're stuck in the weird infinite skybox road. Driver 1 was my first game, and me, my dad, and my cousins would compete to see how many cops we could yeet into those areas in one survival run. xD
Main Improvements with PC over PSX is more traffic variety, better draw distance, higher traffic and pedestrian count. Makes the cities feel much more interesting
This game was originally intended for PC only. Maybe for the PS version they chose to redesign the Miami car taking into account the console's resolution (so the taillights would be easier to see) .
CoolDudeClem theres even car selection in take a ride in the pc version after you finish undercover mode in which you can select about 17 cars (theres about 2 secret cars on pc)
Because nobody has full-wheel hub caps anymore. Driving in a 1976 station wagon we've lost one going around a corner. Not the same as your Prius alloy wheels or plastic covers. Good times..
1 thing I kinda found disappointed in Driver 2 is that they removed the orange side lights to know where you could turn...still overall the game was good
Holy crap! I can't believe the pc version doesn't have like half of the details the PSX version has, the streets are empty, no boxes, no tables, no nothing....
People dont get that PS1 was US$299. There was no 3Dfx when it was made in 1994. And still to play Driver in 1999 in those detail you would have to spend more than PS1 that was 5 year old tech by than.
I won't argue that the PC version is superior on a technical level by far, but I dunno, to me the lower resolution and blockier car models hold a certain charm for me. And yes, the PS1 version is the one I grew up with, so that might have a large part in that opinion.
Ótimo vídeo comparativo e ótimo jogo!! Estou surpreso, pois sempre achei que drive era exclusivo do ps1! Agora em relação as versões, o PC tem um gráfico mais limpo, e detalhes como o retrovisor que (deve ajudar bastante nas missões), e nisso ele leva o ponto de melhor versão, porém, não posso julgar sem jogar, pra ver se realmente é tão bom como o do ps1!!!! Mas visualmente o do PC parece ser melhor!!
na época, a versão do Pc saiu por aqui na revista 3D GAMER por 15,90, inclusive tenho ele :D mlb-s1-p.mlstatic.com/revista-cd-expert-game-driver-completo-pc-frete-gratis-22385-MLB20229071291_012015-F.jpg
I actually liked Driver Parallel Lines more than Driver 3 because driver 3 was all bugged and messed to even be enjoyable and Driver San Francisco still had a good gameplay, but on that one they totally fucked it up making it a whole different very strange game, I fckin hated the powers and crap like that grrrrrr... Totally miss a new Driver properly done like the old ones. And about Resident Evil I actually also liked RES4, RES5, the revelation series, RES7 and the RES2 remake is a totally amazing Resident Evil, I actually like it way more than the original RES2... But Resident Evil 1 was pretty damn good back then, the zombies, spiders and whatever had incredible physics and was a pretty damn well done game contrary to modern zombie booooooring games. I hated RES racoon city, RES6 and a few others on the resident evil series...
PSX was already shit compared to a moderately priced PC at that time. PCs were using SVGA graphics, maybe more in 2D than in 3D, but with the advent of Quake, PSX and Saturn saw their final days.
On the PC version of DRIVER, traffic on the streets is more varied, but the player's car itself often looks like a slippery piece of soap,but the PS1 version had fewer problems with the player's car.
Esse jogo é muito bom! Joguei demais nas casas de jogos da minha cidade quando era pequeno!! Sempre a versão do PlayStation 1!! Mais a do PC com certeza é mais definida sem serrilhados e aguenta mais carros na tela!! Mais a versão do PS1 é incrível!!
The reason why PC version better is..... . . . . . . . 1st undercover mission have far far bigger basement park area😂 its far easier to beat the tests without crashing your sedan😂😂😂
PC looks better but I don't understand why, but cars looks worse for me. For example first one is utterly bad designed. Same with light flares. On PC are barely visible.
Though i played the psx version more the PC version was far and away the better version of the two. Psx the car looked better IMO but the camera, the map, The draw distance, the details and most notable the frame rate where all better on PC. Plus the thing that really pisses me off still to this day is in the PSX version Traffic would purposefully try to get in front of you... I think the reason they did this was to keep your eyes in front of you so you wouldn't notice the crappy draw distance.
Driver PC < Driver PS1 IMO. And here are my reasons why: 1) Bandits. While on PS1 they add the challenge factor (especially in "The President's run") on PC they can't drive for shite. Hell, they can flip their cars just by trying to drive STRAIGHT! Seriously? Pathetic. 2) Generally dumber opponents' AI. Evading these cops is like evading a group of angry grannies with broken legs, and (getting a bit off track, but still) it also takes far less effort to wreck them which does not bode well for the challenge factor. 3) Music. Maybe it's just me, but my version of Driver PC (and yes, I downloaded it) didn't have a single track, which is BS considering the fact that PS version had all of them and I liked them a lot. Also, some of the cars (Buick Skylark/Tanner's car in Miami and cop cars in NY) have badly textured front lights. Of course, you can choose your car in "Take a ride" after completing the story mode (PC) instead of looking for special codes (ePSXe) but that's not that big of an advantage of PC version considering all the disadvantages. In summary, graphics-wise Driver PC>Driver PS1, but otherwise Driver PS1>>Driver PC.
The PC version not having a soundtrack is not the games fault, it's the fault of the guy who ripped it and took out the music. The PC game does have a soundtrack, but it is licensed though and is a different one.
i dunno but cops fucking reck me unless i put medium and even then they stick like glue and fucking rubber band and soundtrack is there if you bought original game since it only plays while disc is in your disc writer [sadly that wont work for me since mine doesnt work 9/10 times so i had to pirate it]
a versão de PC é bem superior, a única coisa que estraga o jogo é essa traseira do carro de Miami. prefiro o carro da versão de PlayStation com os faróis redondos.
When i played game on PSX at the time when it was released, i tought it was very impressive PSX game. PC version looks to sterile and bland for me. So PSX wins!
Chris Pacheco lens flare is missing I guess due to limitations in the port. Lens flare is unrealistic anyways, as real human eyes do not have a lens flare but instead a “sparkle”
os cara falando q a versao de ps1 é melhor na moral os cara sao cego eu quando era criança joguei a versao de ps1 mas mesmo assim a de pc é mt melhor tem bem mais detalhes tem o espelho pra ver atras tem velocimetro o mapa é melhor bom tem bem mais detalhes q o ps1 a de pc é melhor ( minha opniao )
PC wins, obviously. Even though i'm also in Love with the PlayStation. Because i grew up with the console. But I'm still cracking up when the PC was in the bedroom being so actiony but the PSone version was like. "Hooold on, Hooold on Just let me.. J-Just let me.. get to the Car Keys... A-Annnd to the Voicemail." lol
Aaah voilà!! J'avais le jeu sur PC quand j'étais môme. J'ai toujours été dépaysé par les extraits de gameplay qui traînent sur le net, car ils ne ressemblaient pas à mes souvenirs, mais je comprends mieux maintenant: la plupart des images qu'on trouve sont issues de la version PS1 qui est manifestement un cran inférieure graphiquement à la version PC. La en voyant les images de gauche je retrouve bien l'image que j'en avais étant gosse. Après j'ai une bonne mémoire visuelle
Eu particularmente acho que algumas coisas do port para PC ficaram ruins, como o reflexo no carro que EU acho muito feio. Acho que poderiam ter feito um trabalho melhor, mas claramente é um bom port. Na versão de PS1 eu e o P.m Rodrigues nos divertíamos muito revezando as missões.
First thing I noticed was that in the PC version the ocean looks SOMEHOW like urban concrete jungle while PS hardware emulates and renders it almost perfectly in comparison to even the first 3 Tomb Raider games' water effects. secondly the visuals of the vehicle are not as fleshed out collision-wise and in concept, meaning PS1 gives fuller figure to the models used as main vehicle than PC does. The only problem I have with the game that makes it hard to get into and really appreciate nowadays is that tough as fuck training level in the parking garage, where 3/4 of those tricks you hardly ever have to use again later in the game, sadly....
I bought a gaming pc in this year and driver came with it, along with heavy metal fakk 2 and unreal tournament. Couldn't believe the difference between pc and playstation versions. Ironically I kept my pc for 3 years and spent an absolute crazy obscene amount of money on it and didn't see any difference over the time span of spending so much just to squeeze a few tweaks. Console gamer ever since.
pc is great, Im gonna download rn and play again just to see the game in other perspective. but that camera is shit, the car is in the middle of the screen, how are u supposed to see whats ahead of u?
the psx version is a technical achievement. The game is great and it looks better than GTA3 on PS2! The pc improves on the usual frame rate and drawing distance but the psx has nothing to be ashamed of.
What are we talking about here? PC has double the resolution on those textures, and actual lighting effects. If you think PS looks better you're either blind, or seriously biased, because you probably played the PS1 version when you were young...
I grew up playing the PC version and after playing Driver SF last month (such an underrated gem though) I downloaded the PS1 version to play on my mobile... shit i was BLOWN AWAY by how ugly it looked, in comparison to what I remembered. PC looks better, runs better and is also better to play
I'm actually curious. Which version is actually the objectively superior version gameplay wise? It's not uncommon for old games to have ports running on old versions of a game for some reason leaving in various bugs and possibly even cut content.
Played this game for hours upon hours shortly after its release on the PS1. Didn't know there was a PC version until a few years ago. Love the PS1 version since its readily available.
É simples e óbvio, quando o jogo foi criado em 1999 já existia máquina muito mais moderna que o PS1 (desenvolvido em 94) portanto o jogo tem limitações e utiliza a capacidade máxima do PS1. Na versão pra PC reparem que tem retrovisor, os prédios surgem mais longe, a resolução é muito maior, o loading praticamente é muito rápido, etc e etc... Acredito que o original era pra PC.
I prefer the PS1 version - the cars look better. Some city details and textures are absent on the PC version. I prefer the original colours of everything on the PS1 version. Not sure what to think about the rear view mirror on the car view and I don't like the camera being set farther behind the car than in the original. The draw distance is better on the PC version which is nice even though still noticeably bad pop-in. As for the framerate being better on PC which you'd automatically think would be better, somehow the slower framerate on the PS1 compliments the weighty handling of the cars. Sometimes less is more and better left up to the imagination. And then there's the whole nostalgic feeling of the original that stays intact, that can be lost in translation when something is updated.
Your profile pic says it all. The PlayStation version was absolute shit. The slower framerate made it damn near unplayable at times, and the colors look like the contrast was turned up to ultra-high. Everything is washed out and overly bright because the PS1 couldn't handle advanced lighting. And that's not even mentioning the graphics, which look extremely pixilated and jagged. No, the PS1 version is inferior in every single way.
@@SergeantExtreme Yeah I'm a Sony fanboy but I'm trying to not let that get in the way. I remember the framerate having some really awful hits on the PS1 (maybe worse in D2), obviously that's not good but you get what I'm saying above. The cars look better on the PS1, the cars on the PC look like you have vaseline rubbed in your eyes (blurry and looking less detailed?). I understand the PS1 is inferior technically but that's besides my point. The over-saturated colours on the PS1 make the game pop. The jagged edges makes things looks sharper. These things are less realistic but given the technical capabilities of the PS1, it somehow works. It shouldn't make sense but it kind of does. I'm just being honest here. I praised the draw distance of the PC but that doesn't hide the pop-in, and I dislike the rear view mirror on the external view because it doesn't make sense (yes it's more gamey and makes things easier but it adds realism to only have it internally. Rear view mirrors perhaps? (if it had one either side haha). Take Driver San-Francisco for example, technically the game looks much better across all platforms but I still prefer the look of the inferior Driver 1 on PS1. I even preferred the looks of DRIV3R in its early stages compared to the finished product (cough) with more polygons and shinier graphics, it took away the realism of that gritty and rough look. If Driver 1 on the PC looked like the PS1 version and vice versa, I'd say I prefer the PC version but that's not the case!
@@holyboy1 What?!? Jagged edges don't make things look sharper. Anti-aliasing makes things look sharper. The lack of anti-aliasing in the PS1 version makes the graphics look like the game's running on a Commodore 64. As far was why the cars on the PC version look "blurry", if you look very closely (even in this video), you'll see that it's actually the environment and lighting reflecting off the car's paint. Yeah, given I'll admit that it doesn't look all that great, but it's an additional feature the PS1 version didn't have; and they tried their best. If I'm not mistaken, you can turn the rear-view mirror off in the Options menu. I'm not sure I understand your criticism of Driver: San Francisco. That's the most realistic looking Driver in the entire series.
@@SergeantExtreme Most PS1 games had jagged edges. Not to be compared with a C64. I know what anti-aliasing is, it straightens out those jagged edges but what I'm saying is, it's 'edgy' because of them and the PC version has some blurryness/smoothed out textures. I prefer the sharper 'jagged' version. Look at the game 'The Bouncer' on the PS2 - this exaggerates things but yeah, ugly. To me, DSF looked great but I prefer the style of the original Driver games with their film-look style and setting, and the graphics compliment this overall look. DSF is technically leaps and bounds ahead of the originals and probably the most polished in the series but I still prefer the original games. You don't have to try to understand me, it's my personal preference.
I like how you convince yourself that the ps1 version is better, the pc version practically outclasses the ps1 version in everything, -mirror (useful for chases) -odometer (essential not to break the speed) -frame rate -CARS SELECTABLE at the end of the game (this is enough for me to prefer the PC) -additional carnage mode -operable speed limiter I guess you're one of the many who shit on starfield haha...
PS or PC ... both were just great, each on its own. Short after I played Driver on PS I fell in love with the PC version and my computer steering wheel. Take a ride through San Francisco ... hours of fun while listening to music. Although Driver San Francisco is a great game, there's one thing I desperately miss: The old driving physics! Driving in Driver SF appears, as if you're not able to drive one single curve without screeching tires, even slow. The car behaves like a stiff board / sliding through icy conditions without snow or rain. I know, they wanted it to be realistic, but something about the physics seems less realistic than in Driver 1. Only "racing", thus contracting narrow spaces almost to irrelevance, just to stay on the main roads. Over-aggressive police cars as back then we only knew them from the "survival" game mode. No more proper chases without one single scratch. In Driver 1 you had a lot more freedom of control about your own driving (in an aesthetical sense)
Ok so the PC version have better graphic and no loading screen. but the PS1 the car look better and more real than the PC version and the music is better. So overall i think the PS1 win.
Aside from the warping, there's something about the grain and noisy look to PlayStation Driver that suits a 70s vibe. The PC version technically looks clean but it's a bit soulless.
I wonder how some games are so playable using keyboard. Doing all those stunts was easy. I know, super simplified driving model, but still. Driving model in BeamNG is not super advanced, but it's totally unplayable on keyboard. Same goes to older ETS - completely unplayable on keyboard, while in ETS2 you can pretty nicely maneuver even the largest trucks with trailers using keyboard without it even looking silly.
I wonder why they never released Driver 2 on PC :/
Somebody's is tinkering with a Unity port though.
really? Where can we find information for that Unity port?
That would have been so good.
Because $$$$
Totally agree, though I played it in the PS1, but Driver 1 on PC is much better... Driver 3 for example I still liked the gameplay, the graphics were pretty damn good back then, but it was all bugged for me, never could really play it that well or enjoy it as much as Driver 1 or Driver 2, but I also liked all that came after Driver 3 however the latest driver even though the gameplay was also good I hated what it had become with powers and strange crap that was never part of the Driver series...
Totally miss a new good Driver made like it should have been kinda more like GTA but with the better improved and awesome old driver like gameplay and physics, I really enjoyed the suspension and Driver gameplay.
_When you play the PC version and they replaced the soundtrack_ *Look how they massacred my boy*
*Cries*
The PC soundtrack is superior in my opinion, and I grew up with the PS1 version. Both are great!
@@FilmSphere Real instruments are cool and all but one song for a city just isn’t enough.
While PC has the full main menu theme and some other great tunes, they get repetitive VERY FAST. I still prefer PS1's tunes overall.
Well, it is on PC so someone can mod it if they like right?
i think that this game was pushing the ps1 hardware to the limits
then Driver 2 was released witch was on a whole new ball game. THAT pushed ps1 limits
The Nuclear Brony yes but driver 2 was too much..... it looked ugly as hell and the frame rate came to a crawl at times. The bridge that lifts used to dissappear when close up... ropey as hell.

I won't argue that the PC version is superior on a technical level by far, but I dunno, to me the lower resolution and blockier car models hold a certain charm for me. And yes, the PS1 version is the one I grew up with, so that might have a large part in that opinion.
Ótimo vídeo comparativo e ótimo jogo!! Estou surpreso, pois sempre achei que drive era exclusivo do ps1! Agora em relação as versões, o PC tem um gráfico mais limpo, e detalhes como o retrovisor que (deve ajudar bastante nas missões), e nisso ele leva o ponto de melhor versão, porém, não posso julgar sem jogar, pra ver se realmente é tão bom como o do ps1!!!! Mas visualmente o do PC parece ser melhor!!
na época, a versão do Pc saiu por aqui na revista 3D GAMER por 15,90, inclusive tenho ele :D mlb-s1-p.mlstatic.com/revista-cd-expert-game-driver-completo-pc-frete-gratis-22385-MLB20229071291_012015-F.jpg

What do Driver and Resident Evil have in common?
..
They were alive till 3
I actually liked Driver Parallel Lines more than Driver 3 because driver 3 was all bugged and messed to even be enjoyable and Driver San Francisco still had a good gameplay, but on that one they totally fucked it up making it a whole different very strange game, I fckin hated the powers and crap like that grrrrrr... Totally miss a new Driver properly done like the old ones.
And about Resident Evil I actually also liked RES4, RES5, the revelation series, RES7 and the RES2 remake is a totally amazing Resident Evil, I actually like it way more than the original RES2... But Resident Evil 1 was pretty damn good back then, the zombies, spiders and whatever had incredible physics and was a pretty damn well done game contrary to modern zombie booooooring games.
I hated RES racoon city, RES6 and a few others on the resident evil series...
guily6669 Specially during Vercetty cheat chasing trucks in Miami during an wanted felony bar the game just freeze there lol
But RE4 was the Peak of the series tho...
Thanks for coming back!

PSX was already shit compared to a moderately priced PC at that time. PCs were using SVGA graphics, maybe more in 2D than in 3D, but with the advent of Quake, PSX and Saturn saw their final days.
these graphics pushed ps1 to it's limits, but then again we can't compare it with pc more advanced graphics
On the PC version of DRIVER, traffic on the streets is more varied, but the player's car itself often looks like a slippery piece of soap,but the PS1 version had fewer problems with the player's car.
Pc version = 💩
Ps1 version = 👍💓
Pc version looks like a shitty flash game on internet explorer

LOSE THE DAMN TAIL MAN
Esse jogo é muito bom! Joguei demais nas casas de jogos da minha cidade quando era pequeno!! Sempre a versão do PlayStation 1!! Mais a do PC com certeza é mais definida sem serrilhados e aguenta mais carros na tela!! Mais a versão do PS1 é incrível!!
I loved this on PlayStation. PC version definitely seems to have better frame rate.
I think the PS1 version is better, the music and view is better
The reason why PC version better is.....

1st undercover mission have far far bigger basement park area😂 its far easier to beat the tests without crashing your sedan😂😂😂
PC looks better but I don't understand why, but cars looks worse for me. For example first one is utterly bad designed. Same with light flares. On PC are barely visible.
Though i played the psx version more the PC version was far and away the better version of the two. Psx the car looked better IMO but the camera, the map, The draw distance, the details and most notable the frame rate where all better on PC. Plus the thing that really pisses me off still to this day is in the PSX version Traffic would purposefully try to get in front of you... I think the reason they did this was to keep your eyes in front of you so you wouldn't notice the crappy draw distance.
versao do play 1 com graficos mais detalhados e o do pc mais fuido o jogo
Prefiro a do play 1 pq é mais pratico de jogar
I love the game but hate the tutorials on it.
People just think some games have redundant tutorials. Driver has the worst. 😂
I still have a living PS1 with Driver 1 and 2 "Back On The Streets" (not scam).
Driver PC < Driver PS1 IMO. And here are my reasons why:
1) Bandits. While on PS1 they add the challenge factor (especially in "The President's run") on PC they can't drive for shite. Hell, they can flip their cars just by trying to drive STRAIGHT! Seriously? Pathetic.
2) Generally dumber opponents' AI. Evading these cops is like evading a group of angry grannies with broken legs, and (getting a bit off track, but still) it also takes far less effort to wreck them which does not bode well for the challenge factor.
3) Music. Maybe it's just me, but my version of Driver PC (and yes, I downloaded it) didn't have a single track, which is BS considering the fact that PS version had all of them and I liked them a lot.
Also, some of the cars (Buick Skylark/Tanner's car in Miami and cop cars in NY) have badly textured front lights.
Of course, you can choose your car in "Take a ride" after completing the story mode (PC) instead of looking for special codes (ePSXe) but that's not that big of an advantage of PC version considering all the disadvantages.
In summary, graphics-wise Driver PC>Driver PS1, but otherwise Driver PS1>>Driver PC.
The PC version not having a soundtrack is not the games fault, it's the fault of the guy who ripped it and took out the music. The PC game does have a soundtrack, but it is licensed though and is a different one.
i dunno but cops fucking reck me unless i put medium and even then they stick like glue and fucking rubber band
and soundtrack is there if you bought original game since it only plays while disc is in your disc writer [sadly that wont work for me since mine doesnt work 9/10 times so i had to pirate it]
ironically is easier to emulate the PS1 version than to install and patch the PC version, when you want to play this game on a PC
a versão de PC é bem superior, a única coisa que estraga o jogo é essa traseira do carro de Miami. prefiro o carro da versão de PlayStation com os faróis redondos.
When i played game on PSX at the time when it was released, i tought it was very impressive PSX game. PC version looks to sterile and bland for me. So PSX wins!
Driver is a amazing game for psx/ps1 ^^
PC off course it's running the game with more hardware acceleration, albeit strangely missing some effects like lense flare for some reason
Chris Pacheco lens flare is missing I guess due to limitations in the port. Lens flare is unrealistic anyways, as real human eyes do not have a lens flare but instead a “sparkle”
os cara falando q a versao de ps1 é melhor na moral os cara sao cego eu quando era criança joguei a versao de ps1 mas mesmo assim a de pc é mt melhor tem bem mais detalhes tem o espelho pra ver atras tem velocimetro o mapa é melhor bom tem bem mais detalhes q o ps1 a de pc é melhor ( minha opniao )
If you want the music to work on PC you need to map your CD to D:/
pc version looked like and unfinished demo
PC Looks more sharp but the Playstation version looks nicer
I have vague memories of playing this on PC where I edited a config file and made the cars go 300mph 😁
PC wins, obviously. Even though i'm also in Love with the PlayStation. Because i grew up with the console. But I'm still cracking up when the PC was in the bedroom being so actiony but the PSone version was like. "Hooold on, Hooold on Just let me.. J-Just let me.. get to the Car Keys... A-Annnd to the Voicemail." lol
Aaah voilà!!
J'avais le jeu sur PC quand j'étais môme. J'ai toujours été dépaysé par les extraits de gameplay qui traînent sur le net, car ils ne ressemblaient pas à mes souvenirs, mais je comprends mieux maintenant: la plupart des images qu'on trouve sont issues de la version PS1 qui est manifestement un cran inférieure graphiquement à la version PC. La en voyant les images de gauche je retrouve bien l'image que j'en avais étant gosse.
Après j'ai une bonne mémoire visuelle
pareil
Eu particularmente acho que algumas coisas do port para PC ficaram ruins, como o reflexo no carro que EU acho muito feio. Acho que poderiam ter feito um trabalho melhor, mas claramente é um bom port.
Na versão de PS1 eu e o P.m Rodrigues nos divertíamos muito revezando as missões.
First thing I noticed was that in the PC version the ocean looks SOMEHOW like urban concrete jungle while PS hardware emulates and renders it almost perfectly in comparison to even the first 3 Tomb Raider games' water effects. secondly the visuals of the vehicle are not as fleshed out collision-wise and in concept, meaning PS1 gives fuller figure to the models used as main vehicle than PC does. The only problem I have with the game that makes it hard to get into and really appreciate nowadays is that tough as fuck training level in the parking garage, where 3/4 of those tricks you hardly ever have to use again later in the game, sadly....
I bought a gaming pc in this year and driver came with it, along with heavy metal fakk 2 and unreal tournament. Couldn't believe the difference between pc and playstation versions. Ironically I kept my pc for 3 years and spent an absolute crazy obscene amount of money on it and didn't see any difference over the time span of spending so much just to squeeze a few tweaks. Console gamer ever since.
No matter the difference the tutorial is still hard
Haha,the pc version had the speedometer XD i never had that on ps1
William Parrilla that and a rear view mirror
pc is great, Im gonna download rn and play again just to see the game in other perspective.
but that camera is shit, the car is in the middle of the screen, how are u supposed to see whats ahead of u?
the psx version is a technical achievement. The game is great and it looks better than GTA3 on PS2! The pc improves on the usual frame rate and drawing distance but the psx has nothing to be ashamed of.
The car model is better on ps1.
What are we talking about here?
PC has double the resolution on those textures, and actual lighting effects. If you think PS looks better you're either blind, or seriously biased, because you probably played the PS1 version when you were young...
I grew up playing the PC version and after playing Driver SF last month (such an underrated gem though) I downloaded the PS1 version to play on my mobile... shit i was BLOWN AWAY by how ugly it looked, in comparison to what I remembered.
PC looks better, runs better and is also better to play
Nivel work.... New subscriptor
Wait, driver 1 had a PC version ?
I'm actually curious. Which version is actually the objectively superior version gameplay wise? It's not uncommon for old games to have ports running on old versions of a game for some reason leaving in various bugs and possibly even cut content.
Played this game for hours upon hours shortly after its release on the PS1. Didn't know there was a PC version until a few years ago. Love the PS1 version since its readily available.
a fluidez do PC é melhor mas o do play 1 é bem mais detalhado os gráfico
A versão PC ta rodando com Glide ou Diretcx?
É simples e óbvio, quando o jogo foi criado em 1999 já existia máquina muito mais moderna que o PS1 (desenvolvido em 94) portanto o jogo tem limitações e utiliza a capacidade máxima do PS1. Na versão pra PC reparem que tem retrovisor, os prédios surgem mais longe, a resolução é muito maior, o loading praticamente é muito rápido, etc e etc... Acredito que o original era pra PC.
I hered, they had to chance the car models due to problems with the light positions. Indicators and all.
I'd like to know where you heard that. Sounds interesting.
PC It was very fastest loading time
Nas cenas a diferença é pouca, mas no gameplay a versão pc é bem superior
Pc is much smoother looking, ps1 looks chunky and blocky in comparison
Loved this game. Weird that they only included one car sound and no soundtrack in the pc version. Also a terrible shame part 2 never made it to PC...
PC version has a soundtrack my man but not like the PS1 version its a tottal new one
@@hiimpubg360 never heard it!
Wow-All those FPS from the CPU makes this game play so much nicer..
sorry my friends, PC, games still best for me!! PC, games its more advance unit when comes to playing that's all;-)
I prefer the PS1 version - the cars look better. Some city details and textures are absent on the PC version. I prefer the original colours of everything on the PS1 version. Not sure what to think about the rear view mirror on the car view and I don't like the camera being set farther behind the car than in the original. The draw distance is better on the PC version which is nice even though still noticeably bad pop-in. As for the framerate being better on PC which you'd automatically think would be better, somehow the slower framerate on the PS1 compliments the weighty handling of the cars. Sometimes less is more and better left up to the imagination. And then there's the whole nostalgic feeling of the original that stays intact, that can be lost in translation when something is updated.
Your profile pic says it all. The PlayStation version was absolute shit. The slower framerate made it damn near unplayable at times, and the colors look like the contrast was turned up to ultra-high. Everything is washed out and overly bright because the PS1 couldn't handle advanced lighting. And that's not even mentioning the graphics, which look extremely pixilated and jagged. No, the PS1 version is inferior in every single way.
@@SergeantExtreme Yeah I'm a Sony fanboy but I'm trying to not let that get in the way. I remember the framerate having some really awful hits on the PS1 (maybe worse in D2), obviously that's not good but you get what I'm saying above. The cars look better on the PS1, the cars on the PC look like you have vaseline rubbed in your eyes (blurry and looking less detailed?). I understand the PS1 is inferior technically but that's besides my point. The over-saturated colours on the PS1 make the game pop. The jagged edges makes things looks sharper. These things are less realistic but given the technical capabilities of the PS1, it somehow works. It shouldn't make sense but it kind of does. I'm just being honest here. I praised the draw distance of the PC but that doesn't hide the pop-in, and I dislike the rear view mirror on the external view because it doesn't make sense (yes it's more gamey and makes things easier but it adds realism to only have it internally. Rear view mirrors perhaps? (if it had one either side haha). Take Driver San-Francisco for example, technically the game looks much better across all platforms but I still prefer the look of the inferior Driver 1 on PS1. I even preferred the looks of DRIV3R in its early stages compared to the finished product (cough) with more polygons and shinier graphics, it took away the realism of that gritty and rough look. If Driver 1 on the PC looked like the PS1 version and vice versa, I'd say I prefer the PC version but that's not the case!
@@holyboy1 What?!? Jagged edges don't make things look sharper. Anti-aliasing makes things look sharper. The lack of anti-aliasing in the PS1 version makes the graphics look like the game's running on a Commodore 64.
As far was why the cars on the PC version look "blurry", if you look very closely (even in this video), you'll see that it's actually the environment and lighting reflecting off the car's paint. Yeah, given I'll admit that it doesn't look all that great, but it's an additional feature the PS1 version didn't have; and they tried their best.
If I'm not mistaken, you can turn the rear-view mirror off in the Options menu.
I'm not sure I understand your criticism of Driver: San Francisco. That's the most realistic looking Driver in the entire series.
@@SergeantExtreme Most PS1 games had jagged edges. Not to be compared with a C64. I know what anti-aliasing is, it straightens out those jagged edges but what I'm saying is, it's 'edgy' because of them and the PC version has some blurryness/smoothed out textures. I prefer the sharper 'jagged' version. Look at the game 'The Bouncer' on the PS2 - this exaggerates things but yeah, ugly. To me, DSF looked great but I prefer the style of the original Driver games with their film-look style and setting, and the graphics compliment this overall look. DSF is technically leaps and bounds ahead of the originals and probably the most polished in the series but I still prefer the original games. You don't have to try to understand me, it's my personal preference.
I like how you convince yourself that the ps1 version is better, the pc version practically outclasses the ps1 version in everything,
-mirror (useful for chases)
-odometer (essential not to break the speed)
-frame rate
-CARS SELECTABLE at the end of the game (this is enough for me to prefer the PC)
-additional carnage mode
-operable speed limiter
I guess you're one of the many who shit on starfield haha...
I've always loved that opening cutscene cuz it reminds me of the scene from the original Terminator from 1984!
Driver on PC had vans on the road. Clearly the better game. WHERE'S YOUR VANS PLAYSTATION????

@@user-vi4xy1jw7e Just barely.
And the sound of collisions like in the Driver movie;) Pure car chasing without guns :)
PS or PC ... both were just great, each on its own. Short after I played Driver on PS I fell in love with the PC version and my computer steering wheel. Take a ride through San Francisco ... hours of fun while listening to music. Although Driver San Francisco is a great game, there's one thing I desperately miss: The old driving physics! Driving in Driver SF appears, as if you're not able to drive one single curve without screeching tires, even slow. The car behaves like a stiff board / sliding through icy conditions without snow or rain. I know, they wanted it to be realistic, but something about the physics seems less realistic than in Driver 1. Only "racing", thus contracting narrow spaces almost to irrelevance, just to stay on the main roads. Over-aggressive police cars as back then we only knew them from the "survival" game mode. No more proper chases without one single scratch. In Driver 1 you had a lot more freedom of control about your own driving (in an aesthetical sense)
I didn't know it was on pc piratebay here i come lmao.
Lol me too
LOSE THE TAIL MAN
Ok so the PC version have better graphic and no loading screen. but the PS1 the car look better and more real than the PC version and the music is better. So overall i think the PS1 win.
Are you sure the car looks better on PS1?
***** The first car which to car you drive is more clear than the one on PC you could see that back light on it.
Agreed.
I think PC version was much better smooth, but in appearance, the cars looked better on PSX.
*****
I'm being specific about what looks better on psx, the cars. Everything else I'd go with PC.
+neogeomaster I can run it at 1024*768 on my 1998 PC ^^
Only thing I don't like about PC version is how the Miami car looks, looks way better on the PS1 version.
Damn the PSX version looked like hot garbage. That's the version I had but damn.
Ps1 is awesome
It looked so good on my friend's PC back then, I only had a PS1. :-(
PC es mucho mejor, sobre todo porque en PSX tiene unas ralentizaciones que manchan la jugabilidad
Driver on PC had no soundtrack? How pathetic ...
well of course back in these days PC always stayed looking better then home consoles
Dreamcast was always giving pc a run for it
Yeah I remember playing Silver on Dreamcast that was on PC as well. It looked better on Dreamcast to me
Most computers couldn't do special graphical tricks or 60FPS yet.
Ps win
Aside from the warping, there's something about the grain and noisy look to PlayStation Driver that suits a 70s vibe. The PC version technically looks clean but it's a bit soulless.
Pc win
I love both versions. Both versions have great music with PC obviously looking much better.
I wonder how some games are so playable using keyboard. Doing all those stunts was easy. I know, super simplified driving model, but still. Driving model in BeamNG is not super advanced, but it's totally unplayable on keyboard. Same goes to older ETS - completely unplayable on keyboard, while in ETS2 you can pretty nicely maneuver even the largest trucks with trailers using keyboard without it even looking silly.
