The iconic PlayStation arcade driving game is back(and yes it used to be good. I played the first Driver on PlayStation 1). The series has had a rocky time with its poorly received sequels. With Driver San Francisco, Ubisoft are putting you back in the shoes of Tanner, but the catch is that he’s had an accident. A very serious accident and he is in a coma. The game introduces a new shift mechanic that allows you to shift into another car without ever stopping or getting out of the car. Tanner thinks he is out of the coma, but you are actually playing the game as a dream. Not sure where the narrative goes with that, but they are touting this shift feature as a major addition that will keep you in the action. Maybe it is all a simulation done by an AI. An AI that likes potatoes? Will it bring back the former glory of the first entry back? You’ll have to wait till August 30th when it releases for the PC, PS3 and XBOX360. Story trailer below…
