According to Dutch-website InsideGamer Ubisoft is going to release Driver 5 next year. The game is currently being developed at Ubisoft Reflections and will be released on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Ubisoft also claims that Driver 5 will be focused more on the racing parts and less on action on foot, which was the case in the last Driver-game. Ubisoft hasn't officially announced the game yet, but is already looking for partners for in-game advertising in The Netherlands.
VVV:The concept art for the unreleased Driver 5 reveals that San Francisco was still going to be the signature setting along with New York, both of which were featured in the original Driver game. Las Vegas was also apparently on the cards, which was a setting in Driver 2. There appears to be an emphasis on destructible environments, with several shots depicting ruined environments and crumbling scenery. Split/Second Velocity, anyone?"
Some impressive looking concept art for "canceled Driver" game, "Driver 5" were leaked on internet by our friend at "Unseen 64". Driver 5 was set to be in development at Sumo Digital in early 2011 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii U.
Gaming Irresponsibly's Vielar writes: Game-to-film adaptations are nothing new, you only have to look through the bargain section of your local Blockbuster to see them. Therein lies the problem. Despite the occasional success, the game-to-film genre is packed with flops and titles we’d rather forget (I’m looking at you Mario). Not to belittle the few success stories, but the gaming community deserves better from the titles and stories that we love.
I think Splinter cell should be directed by the folks that do the Jason Bourne movies.
they will redeem themselves after the Driv3r fiasco. This should be Driver since Parallel Lines was only a spin-off....right?
