LinkagePreviously slated for a fall 2003 release date, Infogrames' Driver series on PlayStation and PC has been a smash hit that's grown into a hugely popular series. Now, with the success and far higher stakes for games of this style, such as Grand Theft Auto and The Getaway, Reflections is requiring more time to develop the third in the series.
"Driver 3 is a complex game that comes with amazingly high expectations," said Martin Edmondson, managing and development director of Reflections Interactive. "It is important to both Reflections Interactive and Atari to dedicate the time and resources necessary to ensure that Driver 3 meets our own goals for exciting gameplay and next-gen performance laid out by our ambitious design document. Reflections has asked Atari for more time to make sure Driver 3 has only the highest production values from start to finish in all facets of the game. Atari is happy to help us do whatever it takes to redefine the genre that the Driver series created."
Driver 3 is due on all systems in spring 2004.
