REDRIVER 2 (unofficial port) | 2020 |
REDRIVER2 is an unofficial port of the Playstation 1 version of Driver 2, an open world car chase game. It is a cop drama styled after 70s cop movies like the previous game. Driver 2 was released in 2000 on PS1 with a condensed Game Boy Advance port in 2002. The game was known for pushing the limits of the PlayStation 1, resulting in performance and draw distance issues. These have been resolved in this port, along with fixes for long-standing bugs and other quality of life improvements.
The port started being developed on March 28th, 2019[1] using the debug symbols in the Italian version to reverse engineer the game.[2]
Availability
- Installation requires disc rips of the PlayStation 1 version.[3] The release builds can be found on Github. Development builds are on AppVeyor with Windows releases under Image: Visual Studio 2019 artifacts and Linux ones being under Image: Ubuntu artifacts.
