REDRIVER2 VS OpenLara

Please include ReDriver2! A recompilation of PS1's Driver 2. I finished it a few days ago and has a good set of advantages over emulating. There's a mini guide in an old post in this sub but I wanted to make a more datailed guide

But now there's NSA's Ghidra which has accelerated decompilations/reverse engineering a ton, it means that within a few years any active community can fully reverse engineer into human readable code and make major changes, it's why now there's a Driver 2 PC port and a Jak & Daxter PC port with 2 and 3 being in the works despite these games having basically no community before it, Nintendo games have a bigger modding community and a lot of games are on the way to being fully decompiled (bonus in that some games share a lot of stuff, so as one project completes it also makes it so that multiple games also advance faster

Driver 2, which is a PSX exclusive, was disassembled and rewritten so that it runs natively on Windows. Link: https://github.com/OpenDriver2/REDRIVER2

+ Analog stick should work, as well as remapping: https://github.com/OpenDriver2/REDRIVER2/wiki/Controls Try "Moving the left stick DOWN and pressing SELECT+START enables ANALOG mode

I didn't notice anything suspicious in his explanation of how the AI works, though he glosses over navigation. I assume he is using the OpenLara engine, in which case he easily has access to level geometry or other parts of the game at runtime that would normally be inaccessible. However when watching the AI play, I got the impression there was two much overlap between what the AI does and says. For example, based upon what I understand of the explanation of how the AI works, the part playing and the part talking are not interacting with each-other. Voice lines are simply generated based upon what is on screen and there is no true common intent behind the AI's actions and speech. This makes me suspect the entire video is simply a scripted imitation of AI.

You can try source engine ports like xash3d diii4a Serious Sam Freedoom OpenLara Quad Touch and Source Engine

It is, it’s the OpenLara engine, so it’s running native code rather than emulating the PSX version.

OpenLara

You can play it online here, the github link on the page also has a downloadable version that plays offline and works with the controller. http://xproger.info/projects/OpenLara/
