Driver: San Francisco's Multiplayer Detailed, includes "FPS" like modes...

Due to the inclusion of the unique Shift feature, this latest Driver game will include 19 different multiplayer modes, some of which would usually only be found in FPS games.

"We have 19 modes: 11 online competitive modes, 3 co-op split screen and the rest are competitive split-screen," says Producer Marie-Jo Leroux.

"Because of Shift - which has really changed the game - we've been able to bring to the driving genre modes that only exist in first-person shooters."

Senior Designer Jean-Sebastien Decant went on to explain what that would entail: "Capture the Flag, Protect the Base. Because suddenly all the cars in the world are like tools - What tool are you going to use to solve a certain situation? And also you can just Shift back into the action. All this creates a real new dynamic in terms of online driving, and it's pretty exciting."
