Forget what the Driver series has become over the years. When the first game was released, back in 1999, it had a very clear vision: take a badass movie and make a badass video game out of it.
Yelawolf, an Alabama rapper signed to Eminem’s Shady Records, loves muscle cars. So he must be pretty excited to drive around a real life model of Driver San Francisco‘s yellow and black Dodge Challenger.
I just want to play Driver: San Francisco to try and figure out how taxi drivers take those hills without launching their vehicles into low Earth orbit. Other crave a little competition. This video is for them.
Ubisoft’s Driver: San Francisco is a strange thing, what with its comatose protagonist and the supernatural ability of our driver to leap from car to car to car via the game’s “Shift” system. Weirder is the game’s singleplayer trailer narration.
More than 120 licensed vehicles, modern makes and classic models, populate the world of Driver: San Francisco. The City by the Bay was the scene of the greatest car chase in cinema history, Dodge vs. Ford, so the fleet reveal for Ubisoft’s action racer naturally genuflects to American automotive pride. Driver: San Francisco releases Aug. 30.
Ubisoft, to help promotion of the game Driver, actually bought a Dodge Challenger – presumably to look all fancy at events and such like – but now that the game is close to release, they’ve actually decided to give the car away!
Ubisoft Reflection’s attempt to get the Driver series back on track will hit on August 30, according to a new trailer for the game that’s coming to just about every platform imaginable. Want to see what Driver: San Francisco looks like now? Have a look.
