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 :)

Cool, this was one of the games I was holding onto a PS2 for...

bah, i'm never gonna sell the PS2 anyways...

hmmmm, doesnt make a difference. I'll just get the one with quickest load times. Driver 2 had crap load times, havnt played a GC game with any noticable annoying load times yet...Even memory card saves are super sweet fast.

Don't hate consoles!!

I like the XBOX, may have been too pricy for me but it's got good games, I like the PS2 too. I wanted to get a gamecube as none of my mates had one and that I thought it had some good games coming up in the future. I'm happy with what I have got and given the chance I would have all three!

I am not a 'fanboy' for PS2. I don't hate the other consoles either. I was just stating facts and my opinion.

The whole Xbox forum debates got quite heated, but they're a good read.

The Game Cube will probably have the best graphix, it or the playstation. I think the XBOX game will suck. Cause XBOX sucks. totally. I bet Buffy da Vampire slayer doesn't suck as much as XBOX does!

Yea, I know you were only kidding, but there's some that will take it a bit too seriously, as we've seen in the Xbox forum recently.

Go away!

You're the kind of person I was taking the micky out of in that earlier post!

"Oh I love PS2, it will be the best version. All other ones will be crap."

Stop being such an idiot, wait until the game comes out and then we might be able to argue...

Oh by the way, Zelda 7 will be better on the Nintendo1024 console than on the PS6....

I really didn't want Driver 3 to go multi-format. I mean. Gamecube aren't even letting you rent their games nevermind put them on different consoles and well... X-Box just sucks. But This is going to be one of the PS2's great games and it's going to be a waste if its being thrown around other consoles.

Firstly Totoro: You've got 4 GADs that you havn't claimed?!?! Something's wrong! Just noticed that...

Secondly: I WAS JOKING ABOUT THE OTHER BIT! I know how to rite properly, didn't you notice that I wrote the whole thing as one sentence?

I really must make more use of the :c)
