Beta Demo #2

INFO:
The Miami city main car is a grey car (like in the final), an early pause/debug menu and the car resists to more damages than in the final version. Also in the Main Menu you can choose one demo mission (chase) or watch the game controls.
Other functions are marked with "N/A" and some main menu writings are different compared to the final version.
The HUD isn´t complete and some cars seen in the beta Newcastle city were not used in the Playstation version, but they can still be “unlocked” with gameshark/AR codes.
The loading bar have slightly darker colours and the ingame timer has silver metal look unlike the white simple font used in the final.
In the beta demo you can drive your car into the water as there are no barriers to stop you in some parts of Miami area. Also some of the boats do not have textures.

It's a beta demo disc which features other games like Bloodlines, Adventure Game, Tank Racer, Rugrats, Roll Cage, Retro Force and a Ridge Racer T4 Video.


Beta Demo #3

INFO:
The HUD isn´t complete and the radar map is slightly lower placed.
The loading screens says now "Driver - You Are the Wheelman".
When you go to "View Chases" in the Main Menu, it says "You D*ck" (WTF?).
Also in the Main Menu you can choose one demo mission, or watch the game controls.
The mission plays in Miami, compared to Beta No.2, the whole city is more solid and you can't drive into the water without cheats. The loading bar have slightly darker colours.
As well the "felony" bar is missing and the ingame font is white instead of yellow like in the final.
The loading screen says "Driver - You Are the Wheelman" (Driver Logo looks different too) instead of "Driver" like in the final PSX version.

Enjoy!

Are these the PC or PSx betas?
(If you've got Beta 1... please upload it somewhere, I'd love to play it)

Those are all on PSX.
I just got Beta 3 and hopefully i get Beta 2 soon.
Beta 1 would be awesome, but i don't think anyone have it.

Beta 1 Demo seem to be not leaked, there are just several screenshots and videos.
Beta 2 i got from the YouTube user REPOMAN24722: http://www.youtube.com/user/REPOMAN24722.
Beta 3 i got from the YouTube user Driver2Vegas: http://www.youtube.com/user/Driver2Vegas
I'm not sure were to get Beta 4 though, maybe someone can help me there.

I found two unused loadingscreens in the Beta 2 ISO, i guess they are from Beta 1.


Comments please!

this is something I will surely test out some time, I used to play Driver on the PSX to death!

Please someone reupload beta 3 files: psx and psp. Im just wanna to play beta 3.

Now THIS is a game that I still have on my PS1! Seems fun to load up the final release, then come to this thread and compare what I see and don't see in it. Thanks

Can you reupload Beta Demo 3 ?

Update: Removed dead links and re-uploaded the Driver Beta Demo 3
Enjoy
PS: I have Driver 2 - The Wheelman is Back (beta demo) & Driver 2 - Back on the Streets (preview demo), i'll upload it to the FTP if anyone is interested.

What is the file sizes of those files?

SLAYERMAGGOT, please update those dead links again, beta demo 3 and Driver 2 - Back on the Streets (preview demo).

The first car is EXACTLY THE SAME As the secret Chicago car. pretty interesting,because it looks like they have never changed the car Textures,just converted them to Driver 2.


Anyway,great Beta. Such a Shame that i lost my Playstation some years ago,it sounds so cool to download and try.

Sorry for the late reply, i forgot this topic...

@betascollector:
- Driver 2 - Back on the Streets (preview demo): 34,5 MB
- Driver 2 - The Wheelman is Back (beta demo): 192 MB (Official PlayStation Magazine Best Games Ever 2000)

@DENIONION: I've re-uploaded those about a month ago and now they are down again. It may be a problem with this hoster, but it sucks when i have to upload those files again and again. Besides that my connection isn't the fastest. The Betaarchive FTP keeps those files safely and you just have to be active to get access.

@Duds: You are right about the yellow car. I suggest you playing those games with an PSX Emulator on the PC

Should this work on any PSX Emulator?

I tried those with "ePSXe" and they were working just fine

Beta #2 certainly sounds interesting. I'm keen on driving on some water

They should have kept with the car in Beta #1, it looks good.

I played a lot of Driver back when it was somewhat new, loved it.

Too bad the links are down.
