At E3 2010, Ubisoft announced that "Driver: San Francisco" was in the works with an expected release date in 2011. Is this more like kicking a dead horse than a reboot.
Insider Gaming - "Ubisoft has cancelled yet another game, this time ending development on the Animal Crossing-inspired title Alterra."
HALIFAX (April 14, 2026) – Laid-off Ubisoft workers in Halifax have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a settlement with the video-game giant. The terms of the settlement, including the compensation employees will receive, is confidential.
I can't sit here and act like I know these workers financial situations. And I'm sure nobody wakes up WANTING to go to court. But for the sake of the industry, I wish some of these types of cases made it to trial.
Settlements allow companies to continue to do whatever abusive practices they do. While the trials (should the company lose) would actually force real changes for the better.
But again, I'm not in these workers shoes and I can understand them not wanting to risk it.
Two-day event includes exclusive reveals, trailers and playable games on show floor.
The only thing that looks cool about this game is the fact that they have supposedly replicated the entire Bay Area. Apart from that, the game looks pretty dull. At least from what I've seen (hopping between cars? Seriously?).
I loved the first 3 games. Even Driver 3.
Sure the on foot missions were crap, but the driving, art systle, graphics, and coolness were amazing.
I'd like to see the franchise up to its best again.
The Driver series is the only franchise that gives you a "Film Director" mode. Many many people will buy the game just for that! When you add the driving physics that Reflections are famous for and the freedom that "Shift" offers, this game just might be a big hit!
People criticised the "on foot" aspects of the previous games & wanted Driver to go back to what it did best. Yet they still wanted to be able to change cars......I'm not sure about the Shift feature yet but with Martin Edmundson back in control, I have enough faith to wait and see. Even if Shift a fail, IMO there is still enough in this game to keep me interested.
No-one batted an eyelid when Assassin's creed let you do something similar and time-travel back to an ancient ancestor!
I've seen "Shift" in Action and It Looks Incredible! As we all know Drivers On Foot Wasn't Good, But We all wanted To be able To switch Cars in the New Driver! We're Gettingthe Best of Both Worlds, The Best Driving Physic Ever Put in a Free-Roam/Open-World Driving Game And We're getting Tanners Story! For Those of you Who Didn't give Driv3r a Fair Play thru, You missed out! Bc Driv3r Had one of the Best Stories I've ever seen in a Video game, Tanners Story is Awsome! The New Driver, (Driver San Francisco) Will Be Well Worth The Money! All it needs is Tanners Story And Drivers Car Handling Physics and the game will be a Winner! Ps3 PSN ID: ArroyoSavage925
