Ubisoft announces Driver: San Francisco, the not unexpected next installment in the Driver series of action/racing games, slated for release by the end of this year for Windows, Mac, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. Word is: "Developed by Ubisoft Reflections under the direction of the creators of the original title, DRIVER San Francisco marks the return of the established video game series that has sold 14 million copies worldwide. Gamers will play as Detective John Tanner on a relentless manhunt for crime lord Charles Jericho through the hills of the City by the Bay. Thanks to a groundbreaking gameplay feature, players can now seamlessly “shift” between well over a hundred licensed vehicles, keeping them constantly in the heart of the action. With its timeless setting, unique car handling and renewed playability, DRIVER San Francisco will revitalize the classic free-roaming, cinematic car chase experience for the current generation of gaming platforms." The announcement is accompanied by a cinematic trailer from the game highlighting the return of Tanner as the game's protagonist that concludes with game of chicken on the Golden Gate bridge between a truck and a vintage Challenger that can't end well. The embedded version of the trailer follows.
