The game would see players start the game with an almost impossible tutorial in a parking lot, earning Driver the infamous title as one of the PS1’s most difficult games. Kids that grew up watching muscle cars growl and squeal through city streets, leap into the air and smash through cardboard boxes were now adults with expendable income, ready to hand said income over for a chance to relive their youth. With plenty of critics on their side, and with a baying public awaiting their next release, they managed to develop a game that became an instant Sony PlayStation cult classic: Driver.ĭriver (June 1999) was an homage to the 1970’s car chase movies like Bullit, The Driver, Gone in 60 Seconds and to some degree, Smokey and the Bandit. The Driv3erGate ScandalĪt the beginning of this story is Reflections Interactive, a Newcastle based development studio responsible for smash hit releases like the Shadow of the Beast trilogy, then later, Destruction Derby 1 & 2 and the mostly ignored Monster Trucks on PS1. It should give you some perspective and understand where the rest of this article is going. If we want to start with an example of shill journalism and PR suicide, then I would wager that the Driv3rGate scandal is a much better warm-up act for what’s happening right now with Deathloop.

It would be very easy to start this (rather lengthy) article with the historic and shameful controversy that Cyberpunk 2077 provoked, with rave reviews pouring in before launch.
