Driver 3
The Driver series is one of the PlayStation hits that’s been slowest to migrate to Sony’s new console, but its engines are beginning to rev as Reflections gears up for a spring release next year. Once again, you’ll go undercover as Tanner, infiltrating a gang of car thieves that’s shipping high-performance rides over to Europe by becoming their wheelman for a variety of action-packed driving missions. Your stomping grounds will be the cities of Miami, Istanbul, and Nice, which are rendered in exacting detail that includes 150 miles of roads and 30,000 buildings. So they’re big. “We’ve focused on the physics, damage modeling, handling, and creating these huge environments,” says Martin Edmundson, director of Reflections, adding that the game uses the Stuntman physics engine but has a new rendering engine.
