DRIVER 3 BETA VERSION

Coyote · **Posted:** Sun Oct 14, 2007 1:37 am

Okay, this is a topic about the Driv3r beta version (Driver 3). Please do not confuse Driv3r and Driver 3. Thanks.

[font=Arial]DRIVER 3[/font]

This page is about the Beta version of Driv3r, wich is called Driver 3. They are also some things about the Alpha version, but most of the things are from the Beta version !

Okay let's beginn ! You're probably asking "Why Driver 3 and not Driv3r ?". Well, before the game came out, it was meant to be called Driver 3 and not Driv3r. If you have the videogame 'Stuntman', go in the Bonus section. There's a preview of Driv3r, an the title at the end is 'DRIVER 3'.
Stuntman came out in 2002, Driv3r came out in 2004 and they needed 3 years from the first idea to the release of the game. That mean they started making the game in 2001. So this video from Driver 3 in Stuntman can only be from 2001 or 2002, I guess 2002.
However, let's see what that video shows us !

1. That yellow car isn't in the game (Miami)
2. The graphics are much better
3. The Ocean Drive looks different (Miami)
4. How can you have a so hight view of Istanbul ? Even with the film director it isn't possible to go as high. Or is it a Cutscene ... ?
5. The Sun looks different
6. The night looks better
6. Tanner looks different

So. Watch the following trailers, and at the same time, look at these lists:

Well this was possible because they are the developers and they would not have been using the game on the limited ps2 or xbox, most likely they emulate it on their pc's which can handle a lot more.

Same story, they weren't running it on a ps2 or anything like that. They have the ability to do whatever they want with the game. Look at the dpl trailers you'll notice you cannot do most of that in game, and it probably was never a part of the real game, beta/alpha releases.

Anyways here are some of the image I have found from the beta releases if you cannot wait for Coyote.

There was a site with all the pictures from the beta-version from Driver 3, it was even a site about the beta version they had really everything ... crazy site. But it doesn't exist anymore

madness · **Posted:** Sun Oct 14, 2007 7:51 pm

Do you remember the link to that website?
I might be able to do some hunting on my computer, because If I had visited it before I'd probably have lots of the files that make up that website.

Coyote · **Posted:** Sun Oct 14, 2007 8:25 pm

yeh, it's Driver-3.de. The Site still exist but its nothing special anymore

... and they aren't all the pictures anymore. The site changed, i don't know why, I'm not even sure if it was that site, i know the old site had a banner with the original licensed Ford Mustang from the beta version, and the car is White with 2 blue stripes and there was also a truck with jericho on the banner … :/

drv3r's graphics.. never could decide that it's bad or good. actually it's bad but somehow it looks good

what about these coyote? they seem like beta too.

http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/driv ... ges&page=6

edit: have to say this: driv3r's graphics looks way more realistic and good then dpl- dpl seems like a little cartoonish graphics. it would be amazing if driv3r could be retextured with high resoluted textures
edit 2: if think i might buy driv3r again (i gave mine to a friend 2 years ago and never got it back) i want to play the game when i see a couple of screens
edit3: maybe

Coyote · **Posted:** Fri Oct 26, 2007 5:22 am

yeh of course they are .. strange: I was looking for these pics, and I looked at gamespot too but i didnt found them

however, everything that is before 2004 is from the beta version !

Doesn't it look great ? All the possibilities in the game =)

haw to get beta version :?:

Nikusakken · **Posted:** Fri Jan 30, 2009 4:40 pm

You can't get the beta version. Everything that was from the beta, was refined or removed. Probably even the people who worked on Reflections during that time has a beta version.
