Driv3r [PS2/XBOX - Beta]

Driv3r (also known as Driver 3) is an action /sandbox game developed by Reflections Interactive and published by Atari, released for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox in 2004. Slayermaggot81 has linked us to the Driver Madness Forum, where they found many screenshots and a video (from Spetrikbob YT channel) with some beta differences.

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.

In the beta videos and screens we can notice:

• A yellow car that isn’t in the game (Miami)
• The graphics are much better
• The Ocean Drive looks different (Miami)
• 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 … ?
• The Sun looks different
• The night looks better
• Tanner looks different
• Different and removed cars
• Calita wearing red clothes and has a different hair cut
• Miami looks different
• & more…

Thanks to Slayermaggot81 and Vicente for the contributions!
