I've seen neither hide nor hair from The Wheelman in well over a year, but here we are, with a brand new trailer from Midway. For those who don't know about this title, all you really need to be aware of is that its success is hinging on the fact that it stars phallic Hollywood slaphead Vin Diesel, the man whose voice is like living sandpaper.
It's got everything you'd expect -- car chases, explosions, gunplay, and Vin Diesel doing what he does best -- being bald. Midway also seems to have pinched the Pursuit Force "car jumping" gimmick. Might work quite well, might fail spectacularly. We shall see.
Outside of that, the only thing I have to say is that the game looks very, very Midway. I think you know what I mean.

'Spolsions!!
Tigon is Vin diesel's studio.
I think they adopt a more producer/liason like role, I don't think they have much hand in the actual developing.
Oh, and Starbreeze studios did Riddick:Butcher Bay.
