Currently, GamesCom Cologne is happening in Europe.

Ubisoft are set to have 2 conferences. The first (on Wednesday) says what games they will feature (including COP: The Recruit) but could they announced Driver too?

The second conference is more interesting, it says they will be revealing a 'new war game' providing that Google Translate translated it properly that is. But, if they're revealing a new game on Thursday, could that mean that a new Driver game could be announced too? Or at least acknowledged?

PAR-TAY!

:specialdriver:

Nah though, I hope this conference has some news about the next Driver. If it does not, I think my Driver fan days are over.

Good find bro! *Thumbs up*

Trust me. There won't be anything about Driver. Probably they can give some clues, but nothing more.

Shizz sorry about the double post; According to a new research note released by Wedbush Morgan Securities analyst Michael Pachter, the noted analyst said that he expects to see a new Prince of Persia, Rainbow Six, Far Cry and Driver game in Ubisoft’s 2010-11 Fiscal Year. Pachter also said that at least one new intellectual property will be a part of Ubisoft’s FY11.

hardly interesting but a date? I know it bones, but a year might not seem as long as it looks!
As for it being announced, the original title announced on the site was presumably "Silent Hunter " which has had its video released today, so here is hoping!

I've read that, but it doesn't say who Michael Pachter is.

Who is he?

Also, on the Ubisoft jobs website. One of the jobs for Newcastle is a vehicle handling designer (or something like that) for Wii. When you read more about it, it says you will be working on one of their 'innovative driving games' which I believe we thought Driver was when it advertised jobs for PS3/360 with that same 3 words.

So does this mean, all of those advertisements were for (what I can only assume is a second Emergency Heroes, or possibly old ads from the first version. Or will Driver be on the Wii?

Sorry if I went on a bit.

Here's Ubisoft's Twitter site.
I asked about a Driver game, but doubt I'll get any reply. ;)

Also, in case your interested, COP: The Recruit has a proper site up now: http://coptherecruit.uk.ubi.com/

Give it up. If there even was a new Driver game, it would suck more than any idiot could ever imagine. I think Driv3r was embarrassing enough. ALL IT IS IS SHOOTING! WHAT ABOUT THE CARS?!

To my recelection Chris, there were several cars in Driv3r, and I actually liked it. It's my favourite Driver.

The Undercover mode was a disaster though.

One of the most important game analysts...

I've never heard of him, until now of course.

Is he just guessing about Driver, or could he actually know, i.e. would he know anything about the game?

Yeah, but I'm crap at most mission modes. It was really good just driving around in Take A Ride.
I just used the 'Unlock All Missions' cheat as I wanted to see Istanbul.

I really hope they have that cheat in the new game, if there is one.

No they're not.

They're for people who aren't good at video games.

But, I did finish:
-Driver (using cheats)
-Driver: Parallel Lines (well, me, 2 of my friends and my cousins)
-Driver 76 (my sister did one level)

Don't be sorry.

I know I'm not good. But I really like the games.

I'm good at FIFA though.

They are boring. I didn't want to beat them. I didn't even want to try the first missions.

Is that another way of saying:
A) You were crap at them.
B) You had a sh*t phone that you couldn't play the games on.
C) You're gay

Which one?
