Atari Reveals Driver 4 Story Details

Atari has revealed further details on the storyline behind Driver: Parallel Lines, the forthcoming Hollywood-style action driving game. Driver: Parallel Lines is the next instalment of Atari’s legendary action driving franchise.

Currently in development by award-winning studio Reflections Interactive, Driver: Parallel Lines is set for release this March for PlayStation2 and Xbox. Driver: Parallel Lines offers an open, fast-paced driving action-movie experience and features an unfolding storyline of double crossing and revenge.

“While returning to its roots with adrenaline-pumping Hollywood-style car chases and unprecedented vehicle dynamics and physics, Driver: Parallel Lines will offer fans a whole new intriguing storyline that is full of twists and surprises,” said Gareth Edmondson, Studio Manager, Reflections Interactive.

The first half of Driver: Parallel Lines is set in New York City during the 1970s and centres on TK, an 18 year-old driving prodigy seeking fortune and fame. Gifted, popular and arrogant as hell, TK is one of the best drivers-for-hire in town and is known by everyone – from the pimped-out street hustlers, petty criminals and racer boys to the shadowy crime figures who pay for his skills at the wheel.

TK gets involved with a scheming group bent on taking down one of the biggest names in the underground crime scene. With TK as the getaway driver and the crew as back up, nothing could possibly go wrong. However, in a matter of moments, TK’s life dramatically changes. No longer is he a free-wheeling hotshot. Instead he has been double crossed and ultimately is imprisoned for 28 years.

Fast forward to 2006 where the action kicks back in, and TK is older, meaner, and hell-bent on settling some serious scores. TK needs to call on every driving trick in his considerable repertoire to tame the over-powered road machines that 2006 presents him. After twenty-plus years in jail, it’s time to hit the streets once again.

Driver: Parallel Lines tempts gamers to modify and juice up cars while engaging in the most thrilling Hollywood-style car chases ever. Driver: Parallel Lines provides a free roaming, stylised New York City. With over 35 diverse missions, no loading times, incredibly realistic driving physics, and a brand new story, Driver: Parallel Lines will be a must-have title for action driving fans.
