Ubisoft: Driver's Shift Mechanics Could Continue in Spinoff
Reflections hopeful it will influence driving genre.
Ubisoft has hinted that the unique Shift gameplay mechanic found in Driver: San Francisco may be revived for future projects - perhaps even in a spinoff to the undercover cop series.
"I think we’d like to explore Shift a little bit more [after Driver: San Francisco]," said producer Marie-Jo Leroux. "But the Driver brand is all about the driving so future games in the series aren't always going to have Shift necessarily."
Leroux follows with the fact that "there might be a branch-off of the series where we could [use Shift], but that's complete speculation at this point." We don't remember there being speculation about such a project before...
Senior Designer Jean-Sebastien Decant added that, "as a designer, we have plenty of ideas for doing a lot of stuff using Shift." Both developers said that it's possible that Shift could influence other driving games as well.
