While we have a recap of Ubisoft’s keynote event on the way, what better way to experience the thrills of racing through the Bay Area in Driver: San Francisco than checking out the footage yourself?
Considering Ubisoft’s Driver revival has been churning around the rumour-mill for years, it’s a mite disappointing that what we finally get is a pre-rendered cinematic. It does manage to (re)introduce main protagonist Tanner along with his crimelord nemesis Jericho, however, while also showing off the spirit of what we’re hoping will be a rejuvenated franchise. Consider this an early precursor to something we’re hoping will be quite special.
Stay after the credits and you’ll also get a look at a pretty nifty pre-order bonus in the form of a Dodge Challenger toy car careening (possibly) into oblivion. It’s all very Streets of San Francisco if you ask us. Bom-chicka-wah-wah!

Didn’t look half as impressive as NFS Hot Pursuit, which I think is a fair comparison.

I got the original driver on my iphone recently, some games are best left in your memory

I tried the demo version- no where near as good as the ps1 experience.

I’ll reserve judgement proper until a gameplay video, but I liked it.
Love the Driver games, even Driv3r which many disliked. So I’m looking forward to this. I don’t think it’s really like Hot Pursuit ^^, I think it’s a bit more like The Getaway…

Armored car Vs dodge- the outcome will never look good.

Cool, I hope it’s as good as the PS1 games.

I thought the gameplay looked a bit pre-alpha so i was surprised when they said it was playable at their booth.

Didn’t tanner just commit suicide?

Oh wait until the catchup. Ubisoft are happy to ruin the tension.

So they both died in the trailer then? That was a pretty poor trailer to be honest. Myabe I was just spoiled by the NFS: Hot Pursuit one.

I was on my pc last night so I thought I’d stick around until the timer on the Driver website reached zero(1am).
Was it worth the wait?….No, all we got was – new content will appear soon. What a let down!
