Oh man this was rough. Virgin GTA player vs chad Driver player.

Driver (1-3) taught me skid and spin recovery so well that it allowed me to recover through a full 360 on an off ramp without incident…other than my heart beating out of my ears.

My gta5 high speed driving through traffic saved me from having a head on collision, there’s a spot on the highway where 2 overtaking lanes pass each other, I was over taking on my side, then a car was overtaking a car that was over taking a car and was half on my side, I went full Franklin, slowed time and passed between them like a glove.

Username checks out.

But in all seriousness, I’m glad you and everyone else invovled didn’t get hurt there. I’m sure your heart was beating in your ears, was it not? Lol

Weirdly I was quite calm about it, just zoned in on a spot down the road and let it happen.

I cut my teeth on Interstate 76.

Was there more to the game than this?

HotWheelsVroom OP ,

Yes.

I honestly had to use a Gameshark code to get past it.

Hey man, watch the paint!

What a memory this unlocked!! The physics of this game made you feel like you were 100% driving a real car. I almost want to play it again now, but honestly I bet that not being able to actually drive as a kid was half of what made it so mesmerizing.

Now it might just be like driving to work :(

It really did have an incredible driving model

I love my emulators and I have to say that whilst the game has obviously aged, there’s still something a little satisfying about throwing the car around in these games.

That said, the map - which looks like it was designed on graph paper - leaves a bit to be desired nowadays. It does get a little boring.

Driv3r really should have been the pinnacle of the series, but it just stands as a testament to why you should never rush your game out. San Andreas was quite possibly the most hotly anticipated game of all time; they were never going to beat that.

MrScottyTay ,

Driver San Francisco is the pinnacle in my opinion

Crewman ,

If you can dodge a wrench, you dodge the pillars while slaloming.

istoff ,

That was easy. Knocking down pedestrians. Even harder.

Couldn’t believe the intro.

I loved the driver movie as a kid.

I had a shitty non FFB wheel. So much easier. The 180 was almost impossible with keyboard

toxicbubble420 ,

never understood why a driving game needed a tutorial in the first place

I just beat this level yesterday!

It becomes easy... Once you know what the tricks are supposed to be, which the game doesn't tell you at all.

For me, these were the tips I needed:

  1. There's a dedicated button for burnout, which makes it super easy to do the 360
  2. the slalom only counts if you do the pillars on one side of the garage BOTH WAYS
  3. To do a backwards 180, drive backwards, then push one direction, then halfway through push the other direction.

Supposedly the PSX version also has a video in the options menu which shows you a dev completing the course, with button prompts on screen.

Oh, and there's a cheat code in-game to skip this level entirely.

hushable ,

I managed to pass this as a kid and a friend invited me to his house so I could pass it for him. That was my peak and my life has gone downhill ever since.

MrScottyTay ,

I’m sure the game does tell you. There’s a way for you to watch what a perfect run looks like iirc. Been a while since I’ve played though.

Iapar ,

To this day I have not beaten that level.

My brother and I were, like, 7 and 10, respectively, when we played this. Some things on the list were obvious, others (the heck is a “slalom”?!) we had to guess just by doing every possible thing you could do with a car. A couple day’s work, bada-bing bada-boom.

People definitely would’ve given up nowadays.
