Driver 76 for PSP News
PSP News by Robert Purchese
Ubisoft's first Driver game since it acquired the licence in 2006 will be for the PSP.
Driver 76, developed by Sumo Digital and Reflections, will take place two years before Driver: Parallel Lines, in 1976.
There'll be donkeys of new missions awaiting you, both in car and on foot, as well upgradable and customisable vehicles. If you can't afford to spruce up your wheels, because you're a poor person and look like parrot, you'll have to get one of the new 'Side Jobs' to help pay the bills. Something like a shop assistant at B&Q we imagine, or a food technician at McDonald's.
You'll be able to download new paintjobs, and there will be multiplayer fun in Destruction Derby, Street Racing, Pink Slip Racing and Swap Meet modes.
It's all wrapped up in shiny 1970s New York package, so expect plenty of afros, flares, cheesey music and possibly Dirk Diggler.
The game's due for release in March, and you can disco-dance over to our gallery for the latest screenshots.

Parallel Lines removed the best aspects of the Driver series, namely the fantastic physics (perfected in Driver3) and the burnout button, and made the game into a poor man's GTA. Why don't they take it in a different direction? Maybe they should just stick to Stuntman, since that takes advantage of the things they're good at.

Disagree with OnlyMe; Driver: PL was a solid refinement of the free-roaming genre, and was arguably more inventive and well written than the three games that preceded it. Claiming that 'removing the burnout button and changing the physics' essentially removed any reason to play seems to be the sort of thing someone who tried it for 10 minutes and ditched it would say, rather than someone who'd spent some time with it. It genuinely brought something new to the genre and most importantly; it ran incredibly smooth and near bug free. I think a PSP version could be very good indeed.
(BTW; Citing Stuntman as an example of what Reflections should be doing instead is taking the piss, don't you think? It was terrible!)

At least this may have fun muscle cars, something GTA-alikes don't usually include.
