| REDRIVER 2 (unofficial port) | 2020 |
REDRIVER2 is an unofficial port of the Playstation 1 version of Driver 2 with native support for widescreen & 4K. Driver 2 is 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 the year 2000 on PS1 with a condensed Game Boy Advance port in 2002; the game was known for having technical issues in performance and low draw distance to the point that the director later said that they should have made it a PS2 game instead. The game stands out for being the only main entry in the series to have never gotten an official PC port. The performance issues have been resolved in this port and the draw distance has been improved, but it does have graphical glitches on Nvidia Graphics Cards currently that can be handled by pressing 7 on the keyboard.
This version started being developed on March 28th, 2019[1] and used an Italian version of the PS1 game with debug terms present to reverse engineer the game.[2]
Availability
- Installation requires copy of PS1 version.[3] Windows and Linux versions are supported currently. 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.
