A new trailer for Driver: San Francisco has been released, giving a brief introduction to some of the game’s key players. Originally pencilled in for release at the end of last year, the game grants you with a ‘shift’ ability which means you can jump to cars in front of you if your current vehicle falls behind in a chase.

Looks totally awesome. I think the shift mechanic is going to be very difficult to get right but the actual gameplay looks very promising indeed :)

I want the 3DS Driver game, mainly as it reminds me of the original game :oD

Yeah really looking forward to this one, I just pray they support the new Thrustmaster T500RS as I just picked one up and this game would be epic with a nice 1080 wheel :)
That and the fact my gf lives in sf so I’m keen to see how they’ve designed it. From the trailers it’s a pretty lose interpretation of the city. The skyline seen in the first shot from the gg bridge is only about 50% correct, and seems they have cut out the leafy presidio completely (here is what it should look like http://maps.google.com.au/maps?q=san+francisco+p&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=San+Francisco,+California,+United+States&gl=au&ll=37.811708,-122.477528&spn=0.009798,0.010868&z=17&layer=c&cbll=37.811489,-122.477505&panoid=-sTxFVLtUh9rP6cRC3tsCA&cbp=12,106.96,,0,0 ).
Still looks like a lot of fun :).

I imagine they have to cut some bits out to keep it exciting all the time but all the big tourist landmarks should be there. Can’t wait to explore a bit and see what I recognise from my visit to the city!

Me too :) I imagine driving down Lombard street might be a bit laborious though ;)

I was going to type something very similar so suffice to say, I agree with you. :)

and I was going to say something similar to you in response to the previous.

It looks good,i really hope that is does not turn out like Driv3R.*shudders at the very thought of driv3r*

Hopefully it’ll be like the first couple of games, 3 was rubbish.

I remember Driver from the PSOne days. It was very difficult, awful controls and was a substandard GTA game….

I actually found the first 2 games very manageable control wise. I made some amazing police chase videos.
That’s all I want from this one. Free run + recording.

I loved Driver on PS1.
Driv3r was ok. Bring on the new one.

Really looking forward to this, I enjoyed Driver 1 on the PS1 but unfortunately it’s one of those games that, like many a PS1 game, hasn’t retained it’s charm. To be blunt, it was a waste of £3.99 on PSN that I now wish I had invested in Crash Bandicoot!
