Driver Tease
Ubisoft's E3 conference is in roughly a week, with that surfaces a teaser page which may be the revival of the Driver series of auto games. The live action video on the site includes a mustang and challenger driven in the training parking lot from the first game. The countdown begins.
The original Driver game was designed to mimic '60s and '70s car chase movies. The title and the basic theme seem to be heavily inspired by the 1978 film "The Driver" by director Walter Hill. Most notably, the Training level at the beginning of the game is a copy of a scene in the movie in which the Driver proves his skills to some gangsters in a parking garage. The music, overall character design in the cut scenes, and the cars themselves (complete with flying hubcaps), are inspired from movies such as Bullitt and even TV shows such as Starsky and Hutch.
