Stuntman Series Returns Featuring Knight Rider, Back To The Future, And More
Overview & Key Takeaways
The PlayStation State of Play broadcast today included the announcement of a game no one saw coming.
Stuntman: Hollywood, the first new entry in the racing game series since 2007's Stuntman Ignition, is on the way for PlayStation 5. It looks like it retains the franchise's penchant for over-the-top action, and this time, it'll feature licensed content from popular Hollywood franchises like Back to the Future, Fast & Furious, Miami Vice, Death Race, and Knight Rider.
"Stuntman: Hollywood is built on the speed and control of an arcade racer, the spectacular chaos of crashes and destruction, and the precision a difficult stunt demands. And then comes that short, exact call: 'Cut!,'" reads a line from the game's description.
Burnout and Split/Second were cited as inspirations for Stuntman: Hollywood.
The game plays out through a narrative setup wherein a stunt performer is making a movie. "Each film is split into episodes, and each episode is a unique level with its own vehicle, and specific gameplay twists. From one episode to the next, the environment, pace, objectives, and scenes all change. Every film feels completely fresh," the developer said.
Players will drive cars, SUVs, and a school bus. Check out the first footage of Stuntman: Hollywood in the announcement trailer below. More details about the game can be found on the PlayStation Blog.
