Like that comeback no one wants to see happen, Ubisoft's always-on DRM is making an encore appearance for the PC version of Driver: San Francisco. Ergo, if you don't have an internet connection, or if Ubisoft's servers go down due to maintenance or hackers or Act of God(s), you can't play the game. Not even in single player (also known colloquially as "offline" mode). More »

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 single-player trailer narration. More »

If a Driver game fails? Try, and try again. That's new franchise owners Ubisoft's thinking (maybe Atari were just bad luck), as a BBC story on British games development contains the unsurprising news that Ubisoft Reflections, in Newcastle, are working on another Driver game. Least, that's what the BBC presenter from the vid below says, and seeing as he's sitting in the studio, and had obviously been hanging with the team, and is pointing at a screen showing a driving game being played, we're prone to believe him.

Ubisoft is bringing the Driver franchise to the PlayStation Portable, courtesy of developers Reflections and PSP wizards Sumo Digital. Set in 1976, the game has nothing to do with the previous 1976 classic Interstate 76, but will pre-date the previous Driver title, Parallel Lines, by a good two years. That means you can expect familiar territory, textures and afros. More »

What is a bit surprising is that Ubisoft is willing to pay for it. And they paid a lot, $24 million to be exact for both the intellectual properties and technological rights to the series. Atari also threw in the Reflections Interactive Limited staff as a bonus. More »

Director and gamer Roger Avary has signed to write and direct the upcoming film adaptation of Driver, the driving-action title from Atari. The Silent Hill scribe says the movie will be produced by Constantin Films and Universal's genre brand Rogue Pictures. No word on when filming will commence. Avary's had bad luck with films falling through. He's worked on a number of promising projects that have panned out, never coming to fruition. Sincerely hope this ain't one of them. More »
