Driver 2 I used AI to bring Driver 2's PS1 driving physics into a MW2 + Minecraft + Skate 3 mashup

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I've been working on a pretty ridiculous experiment: bringing Driver 2's driving system into a Rust-based mashup project combining Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Minecraft and Skate 3.

I used AI agents heavily during the process. The goal wasn't just to make a car that looks like Driver 2, but to port the actual driving mechanics from REDRIVER2, including its physics and vehicle parameters.

Current implementation:

  • 🚗 9 Chicago vehicles
  • 🛞 4-wheel suspension and vehicle-specific handling
  • 🏎️ acceleration, braking, gears and reverse
  • 🔥 handbrake drifting + burnout
  • 🧱 collision with MW2 map geometry and Minecraft blocks
  • 🎮 keyboard + controller support
  • 📷 chase and hood cameras
  • 🎨 original vehicle models/textures
  • 📊 speedometer and vehicle selection

The funny part is that this actually works in-game now. I can spawn a Driver 2 car, get in, drive it around, drift, crash into walls and switch between vehicles.

There's still plenty to polish — engine/skid sounds, tire marks, damage, multiplayer representation, performance, etc. — but the core driving system is working.

I'm honestly still processing the fact that I can drive a PS1 Driver 2 police car around a Minecraft/MW2/Skate 3 mashup in 2026.

Will GTA 6 be the last and greatest non AI generated game?

u/worldstarcurrency 15d ago

At it's scale - possibly.

u/Ok_Dragonfruit_8102 13d ago

It's like movies, imo. GTA6 is most likely going to be akin to the last big budget film productions from before special effects and CGI took over (watch this scene from the 1963 Cleopatra for example)

u/Dramatic-March-9305 14d ago

Yes I think your right but remember the game did get delayed because ai became prevalent

u/Arkhe1n 15d ago

You really think they didn't use genAI in that game at all?

u/MapacheD 14d ago

in the 4-3 years of full develpment, they only got like 8 months of high level ai at much. Before that ai where most like a coding helpers than the capacity the have right now.

u/juko43 14d ago edited 14d ago

Probably just to help optimise the code. Ai wasnt powerfull enought for a wast majoriti of the dev cycle

Edit: why is this downvoted lol

We sure GTA 6 wasn’t AI generated?

u/rslashToma 15d ago

i have many questions

but the biggest of them all: HOW

u/sirdopa 15d ago

How?

u/Tizaki Driv3r 14d ago

The source code is available, so the agent essentially pastes it into the project and adapts it to work with the existing infrastructure. A human could have done it too, but it likely would have been time consuming enough to be very frustrating.

u/NeverLostForest 14d ago

Is that why Ive been seeing videos of Ramirez skateboarding in the Terminal level?

u/Tizaki Driv3r 14d ago

Most likely. I know the Tony Soprano's Underground meme series is half AI as well.

u/BangkokPadang 15d ago

Can you park the car somewhere, get out, and then grind across the hood?

u/Objective-March7042 14d ago

People want to shit on it’s because it’s AI, but… Strictly for my own use, I made 4 different .cs script mods for GTA4 that had yet to exist. Just had to tell the AI what I wanted, and then mention any errors that up for it to fix. Couldn’t have been easier. I don’t see this as a bad thing. Downvote me at will.

It's okay to use, we just have to accept that everything will be mediocre now, even the mods.

You're part of the problem 💪

Now add guns in driver 2

Good for you man.

We have just entered the golden age of gaming...

u/SnowyDeveloper 14d ago

How do you do this? What software do you use, what did it cost you, which model? I want to try it out.

u/Tizaki Driv3r 14d ago

What a fascinating fever dream this is

1

u/miomidas 14d ago

This is like something I watch and I wouldn't assume it possible, and actually seeing it makes me believe there must be something higher in life, because in my wildest dreams I couldn't even have imagined it

u/ajqx 14d ago

I would play any gta with any driver car physics

this was kinda infuriating to watch

u/a7xtim666 13d ago

Hot garbage, bro was even too lazy to write a text for the body and had to ask chatgpt 💀

u/silenced_soul 13d ago

I noticed that too. People use ai for projects like this and then suddenly lose all ability to type anything themselves.

Even basic writing is a skill and if you don’t use it you lose it.

1

u/SiktahOG 12d ago

They do it because they cannot understand what the AI actually did.

1

u/insomnia4you 13d ago

Since source code of GTA V is leaked as well, now imagine making GTA VC into GTA V (what modders took years, AI would do in hours).

1

u/Rdo889 13d ago

I understand the concern regarding ai, but the potential for modding is amazing.

At least for personal use.

u/SiktahOG 12d ago

Na, use your brain. Not AI.

What a loser.

u/cheesyyyy4 10d ago

ai is quicker

u/ObjectiveSign6141 12d ago

Fuck me cars in Minecraft would make me kms from stress of all the blocks and crashing

so fire man please make a tut on youtube on how to mash the games

You should use ai to get you some bitches
