With the industry's single biggest event of the year, and the event at which the next year or so of games gets announced - E3 just around the corner (the event kicks off next week), the new game announcements are starting to come in thick and fast.

With Ubisoft confirming a few days ago that a new Driver game would be being unveiled at the event, our appetites were already thoroughly whet - but now our anticipation's been put into fifth gear with the release of a new teaser trailer.

As is the way with all teaser trailers, this one certainly raises a few questions - not least of which being, will the new game be a remake of the 1999 PlayStation original? While the trailer doesn't confirm it either way, we've got our fingers crossed that it will be.

Those who've played the original game will recognise the numerous references to the almost-impossible-at-the-time introductory training mission, which saw you performing a large number of stunts in sixty seconds, in order to impress your gangster would-be employers and earn the role of The Driver.

Taking it's cues from 60's and 70's cop films, the game then put you in the role of an undercover cop, as you try to bring down a crime syndicate from the inside - completing missions for them as their getaway driver in order to prevent your cover from being blown.

The start of the trailer allows you to get a look at the driver's driving license, naming him as "John Tanner" (the hero of Driver 1-3) again hinting at the new game being a remake of the original, as he was written out of the series in Driv3r.

We're hoping it'll be a remake, as the first Driver was one of the finest (and probably our favourite) driving games ever, with the more recent instalments being slightly spoilt by the introduction of third person shooting sections. Although, we still maintain that Driv3r was an amazing game.

We'll have more info come E3 in a few day's time, so check back then.
