Ubisoft has confirmed that the 1998 PlayStation classic Driver will be heading to the PlayStation Network as a downloadable title later this month.

Developed by Reflections Interactive (now Ubisoft Reflections), who previously worked on the Destruction Derby series, Driver will hit the European PSN on August 7, priced at EUR 4.99

The game pits players in the shoes of an undercover NYPD officer named Tanner, who must infiltrate a notorious crime syndicate by performing a series of tasks spanning locations including Miami, San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York City.

    oh h3llz yeah dude.. cant wait,now thats wut im talkin about, QUALITY.

     

    the first driver was a super bad@zz classic and an inspiration to alot of games out there that took the concept from driver into there own games.

     

    now i want driver 2 (you are the wheelman sucka).

     

    i will definently be gettin this wen it hits the US store.

    I still have my original copy that I paid $40 retail for. I just wish the LA missions weren't all at night. Lesson: don't trade your games off because you'll eventually play them again.

    ...Why is this even mention worthy...? adding it to the list of weekly Store updates when it comes out would have been enought... Yet again, the UBI hype-machine strikes again...

    I liked driver for the survivor mode. When you had to run from the cops and last as long as possible. I had good memories of the game glitching out on me there. I once got hit and flew up onto the buildings and got to drive around =)

    This game was so excellent! but I never managed to finish the last mission, it's true the survivor mode was a blast!

    Driver is a classic game for the PS3, wonder if they keep the same.
