Ubisoft officially driving Wheelman

Wheelman looks really good, even with the obvious Grand Theft Auto inspiration.

silly game

I hope Ubisoft makes this game even better

Ubisofts a top company, I dont know any Ubisoft games I hate, but theres many I love, so maybe Ubi liked what they saw and this could be a real good game

i saw a playr episode that was a special on this, it looks ok quite good the 3rd person shooting looks generic but will give more variety

Im with trooperdx3117, this game seems like pursuit force to me jumping car to car.

O well its going to turn up as a sucky game... so WHAT EVER

''Midway will self-market and distribute the game in other European territories.'' Well, so Ubisoft gets the big bucks at the countries that really do buy games, and Midway will try to sell at small markets and at eastern european countries (where people pirate games). Great deal.

I think if we buy any Vin Diesel game this year it should be Dark Athena

Didn't we already play this game when it was called Driver, er Driver 2: The Wheel Man is Back, I mean Driv3R, I mean the Italian Job... Seriously though, the story sounds interesting enough, but it's been done before. I hope the gameplay can rise above being just a generic Driver/GTA clone starring Vin Diesel.

@ shani_boy101 this game has been in development far longer than the movie and it's from the only studio to actually release a movie based AAA title plus, Vin Diesel is badass and because he loves video games he won't let this game be crap

Yayness!

@conformist - yes they do.... Off hand, I can only think of the UK, Australia and Japan that drive on the left hand side, though I'm sure there must be a couple more... most of the world is on the right hand side though.... On topic - I think this could be a decent game. I for one enjoy sandbox games.... lets hope this isn't another Driver 3 though(!)

why do so many people care about this game? isn't it just a movie game or something with poor GTA-wannabe driving controls?

Ubisoft got their entire financial situation on the table with this card. They better get it right =)

please ubisoft, don't F this up PLEASE!!!

Do they drive on the right hand side in Spain?

@Lazyimperial Dark Athena has the Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay in it so you don't have to get the early release of it.

Dark Athena isn't out yet bleedingsouls, but its predecessor Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay came out about four or so years ago for the Xbox and PC. Pretty darn good game too, and it surprised a lot of people with its high quality. You should look it up sometime.

Sounds like GTA/Driver again? :S I like Vin Diesel and all but i think I'll stick to GTA and Driver k thx Never played Chronicles of Riddick Assault on Dark Athena...what platform is that on because I've been hearing its a good game.

Gonna have to sit the fence on this one. Maybe a rental.

ubisoft IS releasing it, and here i thought they would take 3-4 months to polish, test and fix the game before it's released, but hey...

This game similar to Driver series and since Ubisoft took over, this might be surprisingly good.

It is cool that Ubisoft is now taking over, but I still think it is going to be a lame video game. There is nothing wrong with Wheelman, it is just not my type of game. Who knows, maybe Ubisoft will surprise me, I doubt it though.

Its gonna be even better now!!!!

I sure hope that this game lives up to my expectations. So far it looks good.

i hope they still focus on the new driver game. if its even being made. TBH this game looks like trash
