You may have already heard this, but I was just looking at gamesradar.com, and look what I found:

"Infogrames has announced that Driver 3 will be multi-format and will appear on PS2, Xbox, Gamecube and PC. This marks the first time a Driver game has appeared on any console other than PlayStation.

The game is in development by Reflections in Newcastle - the same team who developed both Driver 1 and 2. They are also currently working on Stuntman for PS2.

"The success of the Driver franchise is an historic milestone in the gaming industry. Driver 3 on the PS2, Xbox, Gamecube and PC will undoubtedly take the franchise to another level of success and gaming experience", frothed Larry Sparks, Vice president of European Marketing for Infogrames.

The game is scheduled for release some time in 2003."

That's a nice little surprise, and should make GC & Xbox owners who don't have a PS2 nice and happy.
Let the arguments about which version will look better begin :)

It was a bit of a shock really, after all, the Driver series is one of the Playstations biggest feathers in its cap.
It certainly wasn't expected that's for sure.

Was it not? I thought it was common knowledge!

I think I mentioned it was likely somewhere a few days ago.

That's why I wrote "You may have already heard this" ;)
I hadn't heard anything about it so I was quite surprised. It doesn't really matter to me too much as I would have bought it on the PS2 anyway, but it's nice for Cube & Xbox owners to experience it too.

Let's hope more decent looking games go multiformat.

Yes indeed. Games as good as Driver deserve to be experienced by as many people as possible!

Were you taking the quote, "Let the arguments about which version will look better begin", too seriously ;D?
