Following on from last year's announcement of Driver: San Francisco's Limited Edition, a new product listing that has appeared on GAME's website has revealed that Ubisoft is also set to release a 'Special Edition' of the upcoming open world racer.
Immersed Gamer writes: "Ubisoft came out with the announcement that some of their classic titles are shutting down their servers. While this is not entirely surprising, the next bit is quite shocking. As Ubisoft states in regard to many of said classic games, “additionally, the installation and access to DLC will be unavailable”.
The wording is a little vague, so the actual paid DLC could be safe. But it doesn’t change the fact that multiplayer modes of Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, Rayman Legends, and Driver San Francisco will surely be missed. Especially since no alternative exists in many of those cases. This happens to unveil right next to our story where I essentially beg Atlus to port SMT to modern consoles alongside Persona.
Seems like videogame preservation is on the down-low…"
And you want us to go all digital? This is the bull sh*t that makes me apprehensive to an all digital future. You corpo guys don’t understand game preservation or it’s importance.
Companies who withdraw support should be legally made to patch games to enable the 'owner' to create and host their own MP lobbies. This is theft
From VG247: "When cars slide, they leave tyre marks. In a game like Driver, they’re an aesthetic touch, part of the inherent cool of a handbrake turn. But those dark shadows in the road also tell a story. From tyre marks, you can determine the speed of a vehicle, when it started to skid, and its ultimate direction of travel – long after the car itself has vanished into the distance."
Why did they stop making some of the best games ever? Driver was one of them.
A story driven game with pure driving gameplay. I'd love to see a new Driver game or a remake of the first one.
Player 2's Matt Hewson looks at five games from his past that seem to have been forgotten by the masses and perhaps deserve a second look.
Why? do they expect this rubbish to actually sell, from the gameplay videos ive seen it looks utter rubbish, doubt ill even rent it
I want this game to do well so badly!
Please do the series justice and return to glory, Driver!
If it proves to be as good as it looks I think this'll be heading into my games collection.
Surely GAME will transfer your pre-order from standard edition to this edition?
Who wouldn't want free stuff?*
*No-one, that's who!
I can't see it doing too well. The concept of floating around as some sort of poltergeist from car to car just sounds insanely ridiculous whilst in a coma. Maybe for the multiplayer it might be fun but I can't see the single player benefiting from this idea.
If they didn't want you walking around as Tanner they could of just left those parts of the game as a cutscene (like in Driver 1) & left us to get on with the actual driving.
I'm very sceptical about this game at the moment, I just don't see it having good single player campaign because of the poltergeist crap even by video games standard that idea is pretty out there. Its a shame really cause Driver 1 was an excellent game & I've always thought they'd go back to that type of style instead of using some weird gimmick.
