They must know what Reflections are up to though as they’re part of them now!

Not sure on platform. When I spoke to Ubi they honestly knew nothing about it.

A leak about a sequel that’s *not* come from Intellisponse?

Isn’t this game a PS3 exclusive?

Nah, they sold it to THQ who decided ‘not to persue the brand’ after Stuntman: Ignition.

Stuntman was only supposed to be a budget release game for the PS2, but it ballooned into something much bigger than it should have.

Its gameplay is very linear and limited, so I wouldn’t expect anyone to be clambering after the IP any time soon.

Thinking about it…did Ubisoft not grab the Stuntman licence recently as well?

Now that’d be good…

Well I’ll be bumswizzled.

I liked Reflections, always thought that Driver and Stuntman were ace series. Let’s hope (no, let’s PRAY) that any new version of driver chucks away the idea of out-of-car action and just concentrates on highly detailed cinematic tooling about in cars rather than pissarsing about on foot.

“Which version of Driver is that on the telly at the start?” looks like Parallel Lines.

Saw the Beeb story on Breakfast this morning. They didn’t even mention the company they were at or the game they were working on. The footage of the game so far didn’t exactly look next-gen, in fact it looked less impressive than Driv3r and about on par with Midtown Madness 3. It must have been really early code, whatever they are doing.

The vids linked above are different to what I saw too.

Didn’t realise the cop car thing was Emergency Heroes, I was half asleep when the report came on the telly this morning!
