After the success of the first Driver game, Driver 2 released exclusively on PS1 in 2000. It had improvements such as 2-player modes, curved roads, ability to get out of the car and steal another car on the street. However for a game released exclusively for PS1 it performed so bad on the real hardware. Almost never reaches 30 FPS and often dips below 10 FPS. They wanted to exceed the limitations but they shattered them. Game also suffers from very short draw distance and lack of sea / ocean texture.
In 2020, Reverse-Engineered Driver 2 : REDRIVER 2 relased. It's an unofficial PC port of the game solves many problems. Most importantly it runs great and draw distance is longer. In this video I played REDRIVER 2 on PC with ReShade.
Both Driver and Driver 2 successfully depicted real cities on 3D plane with the freedom of open-world in PS1 era, very early to do so. I wanted to showcase the beautiful depiction of Havana in Driver 2 with today's improvements.
