Yea, its pretty certain its coming, like a school boy who has just discovered the girls changing room, as its dotted over numerous company documents that Driver is a work in progress and twice i have seen its coming 2010, thank fudge!

Yeah, and it seems that there will be DLC for Driver. But what kind of DLC can it be? Cars, missions, guns. Anyway, it sounds interesting.

If most ubisoft games are to be gone by, we will get one free map pack and a premium cars and guns pack, but thats only what most games do!

Hmm. Interesting....


Certainly raises eyebrows.

OK, Fair enough, but why must this be Driver?

Couldn't they be working on a new title?

I know they probably aren't, but that would just be our luck.
Aaahh, the life of a Driver fan.

I thought about that. And well, Driver is Ubisoft only racing franchise. And I don't think that companies refers to new IPs as an AAA+ title, but I could be wrong.

Ubisoft just posted two new jobs (In Newcastle):QA Technician and QA Online Technician. Is it mean that the new Driver (Or any other game that Reflections is developing) is already in Beta phase?

Coming towards alpha phase I think
Not that it concerns me, because I've left the game playing industry
If we were anywhere near beta, we would have at least seen two trailers and a tone of screenshots and some developer interviews.
Gareth stated it was in alpha stages during his second dev interview after the first trailers release.
As far as I'm concerned all game developers can go f**k themselves or go into the hydroponics industry and grow me some sweet Purple Haze .

..::AND THIS IS THE END OF MY ACTIVITY ON THIS FORUM, UNTIL A DEVELOPER SENDS ME SOME FREE PURPLE HAZE::..

mmm, purple haze, I might ask them about that if I see them...

Yeah, but couldn't it be a second Emeregency Hereos of something?

As far I'm concerned, there's no DLC for the Wii. Plus, Emergency Heroes was way too much of a fail to be considered an "AAA+" title.
