XBA: At the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco last year, XBA was invited to an ID@Xbox showcase. At the time, Microsoft was getting grief for not providing the same level of indie support as PlayStation. It was a thing. People were upset.

VVV:The concept art for the unreleased Driver 5 reveals that San Francisco was still going to be the signature setting along with New York, both of which were featured in the original Driver game. Las Vegas was also apparently on the cards, which was a setting in Driver 2. There appears to be an emphasis on destructible environments, with several shots depicting ruined environments and crumbling scenery. Split/Second Velocity, anyone?"
