Driver 5 release date xbox

Ever drive a car while being in a coma? You will. By Greg Miller Updated: 29 Jun pm. I remember playing the original Driver and having a ball — I was an undercover cop named Tanner, I tore around city streets, and I never got out of my car. It was great. The subsequent Driver games? Not so great — they added the ability to run around, changed characters, and the gameplay suffered. Driver 5 is a return to the simple days of the franchise… except that the main character is in a coma and all of this is happening in his head and you can spiritually leap into other bodies.

This game opens up a few months from where Driver 3 left off. If you need a refresher, that game ended with Tanner's archnemesis Jericho shooting him. When Driver 5 picks up, Tanner's in a coma, and that's where this game is going to take place — you're going to need to complete a ton of missions to help Tanner wake up and save the day.

Reflections would then go on to create Driver: San Francisco. By the looks of it, this original vision for the game would have incorporated destructible environments of some sort.
