DRIVER is back?! Ubisoft talks about the future of the DRIVER franchise!

[@chitan1362]

Imagine if this supposed upcoming Driver reboot went back to it's roots and takes place in the 1970s with era-correct cars and music. Ubisoft would gain some of my respect back.

[@VortexStory]

At the same time, I liked the "modern" depiction of DRIV3R

[@American-Afrikan]

Defiently need it modern it needs come back full force

[@rickastley2308]

​​@@American-Afrikan 70s is the full force for Driver series. Two best games in the series (Driver 1 and 2) look like a proper 1970s crime flick and that's great.

[@christopherwright8081]

@@VortexStoryI agree with this however with GTA6 coming I think Rockstar has solidified their spot over the last 10+ years. Driver has some work to do, and I’ve been a driver fan my entire life. Its going to be a tall task

[@EddyTheDevil1]

I hope Ubisoft will release Driver 1 on Steam, since it's such a pain to get it working properly on modern systems.

[@Shapershift]

Steam is very unlikely. Maybe GOG could help with that if they and Ubisoft are willing.

[@TheEngine-gw2vs]

I would be satisfied with a GoG release for Driver 1 and 2.

[@whiteetk8000persona3isgood]

I doubt in steam, but possibly in GOG as many classic games get released in there.

[@claudespeedtr]

While GTA used 2D graphics, Driver was making 3D games. I first encountered the Driver series with the game Driver 2 on PS1. While most people don't know about it and the series has been forgotten, I still love it.

[@Coolness68]

Driver is one of the most fun and under rated games ever. It brought the 3D world first to life with nail biting car chases just like the movie it was based on way before Grand Theft Auto. The movie director was an absolute blast and wish they would work on this more with more camera options. I'm a die hard fan that's been waiting years to hear some sort of good news about the franchise coming onto the latest consoles. Personally, they should go back to the roots of keeping Driver in the 70's, be able to customize the cars you drive and have a kick arse Film Director to boot!

[@hamannss3550]

Imagine a Driver San Francisco remaster with today's new videogame technology. And finally multiplayer support again.

[@Mutt377]

While I am happy with some more positive news on the DRIVER series of Ubisoft, I myself am very skeptical just based on previous Ubisoft projects. Whether it be some remakes of older Driver games or if they are actively working/planning on something new and fresh, I feel like a lot of what Ubisoft touches nowadays ends up more disappointing than amazing. More so that same feeling applies to a lot of higher-end game developers in today's world. I'll keep my optimism on this for now, with hopes that some more positive news comes about. Gotta see what goods they give us first before I start going fan-crazy tho!

[@VortexStory]

@@Mutt377 let's hope that Reflections is involved, as they still have many of the game devs who worked on the first games! And why not getting back Martin Edmondson

[@TaccRaccoon]

[@ThaBIGBOSSX]

@@VortexStory it’s easy to overlook things it happens to all of us but at least we have that exciting bit of news of more games in the series. Also, it’d be nice if they remastered and re-released the Driver games on PSN so more people that haven’t played them can with full trophy support. I think Nightdive Studios that has worked on remastering the Turok games, Shadow Man, Quake, DOOM 64, now currently The Thing Remaster should work on doing the remasters of the Driver games.

[@DonaldVale]

Hopefully they would make a driver 3 type game with better controls. It would be like a return to form of the evolving driver.

Avoir des remasterisations de Driver 1 et 2 serait vraiment cool.

J'espère que le prochain opus conservera la même mécanique de gameplay pour la conduite des véhicules de DSF (suspension, transfert de masse), avec le bon angle de caméra qui donne cette impression spectaculaire. Niveau scénario, une histoire sans Tanner ou Jones ne me dérangera pas, ainsi qu'évoluer sur une toute nouvelle map dans une ambiance à part. Sur l'aspect graphisme et distance d'affichage des décors j'espère que ça sera plus poussé. Je ne pense pas qu'ils garderont le Shift cependant

[@VortexStory]

It was Ubisoft Support iirc, they don't have this kind of information anyway

[@overcastskyline1747]

if driver goes back to the 70s, 70s style theme vibes, it will fail miserably, hopefully they set it in modern times or even a bit into the future, tanner being of old age and its his final chapter before he passes the torch, on foot is also a must, in game soundtrack would be nice if its good, but radio stations with licensed music would be even better, i feel like this will be their last chance of making it right, if they screw this up its over for driver, or put on hold for a realllly long time again.

Ubisoft doit déjà sortir le remake de Splinter Cell, ça fait depuis 2020 qu'on en parle... Donc ils ont du boulot!! Prévu pour 2026. Pour Driver, les jeunes connaissent même pas et le Driver SF n'est pas un véritable Driver selon moi, il a plus attiré des fans de jeux de caisses que les vrais fans de Driver, je pense que déjà ressortir les trois premiers titres sur PC en version Remaster, ce serait déjà un grand move de la part d'Ubisoft et cela permettrait de redonner de la visibilité à la franchise, de prendre le pouls sur sa cote. Après, si on parle de rêve de gamer : J'aimerais un jeu qu'il reprend après la mort de Tanner, et partir sur sa jeunesse et nous parler plus en détails de lui, comment il est devenu flic etc. Mais je parle du vrai Tanner de Driver 1, 2 et 3, pas celui de DSF...

Well even if they officially announce a new Driver, i wouldn't be that excited, as the new Driver will 100% be a GTA clone, as shithead CEO already said that he's excited for GTA VI as Ubistoft can leach off of it's success. Microtransactions, pay-wall content, sky high prices for no reasons, and making it "family friendly" wich will end-up killing the charm of Driver, as even Parallel Lines has some charm to it, let alone first 3 games and SF. So let's lower our expectations to the very bottom, as if it happens, most likely that will be a fuck up of immense size, but not like in case of Driver 3 where as we know the game was just unfinished, this time it will be an awful game in general.
