Warner Bros. announced today they will be publishing a new installment in the Spy Hunter franchise, bound for PS Vita and Nintendo 3DS this fall and developed by TT Fusion. Another reboot of the series, the game is introduced in the above video which demonstrates the features of the G-6155 Interceptor, portraying them as one might if it were just some perfectly normal car you take out for a leisurely Sunday drive -- and blow up other motorists with.

As you can see, transformation functions of the Interceptor return, allowing for water and off-road travel. The vehicle will also be customizable with a variety of high-tech gadgetry, including an unmanned support drone.

I've always liked this series, as it's the kind of driving game I can actually play without feeling embarrassed because I can't complete a lap without bumping everything in sight. And it's fared better than most classic arcade games which have seen re-iteration over the years (though it's had less luck in getting a film off the ground). Here's hoping that TT Fusion can keep that going.

Not the most awesome screenshot there, but Warner seems to know what they are doing with old midway IPs, now how about that Gauntlet game huh?

A new Spy Hunter? Fuck, I need to get a 3DS sooner than later.

Wow. Originally I thought that screen was from the PS2 reboot. Hope it gets a lot more love, cuz that looks like something I'd expect on a PSP.

The last one with the Rock was poop. Hope this fairs. better.

I'll keep my eye on this for 3DS as I enjoyed the first Spy Hunter for PS2. I even want to buy the second game and Nowhere to Run even though they weren't as good. They just look fun.

Also, another Gauntlet would be sweet. Especially if WB had Snowblind developing it. *drools at the thought*]

I had Spy Hunter for the Atari 2600. Came with a little cradle to hold the second controller to the first one- that way you could use two buttons. Amazing!

The first PS2 Spyhunter was a lot of fun, hopefully this will be fun as well. That's all I really look for in a game: fun.

Cool beans. Will probably be great fun.

I remember getting the PS2 Spy Hunter game for Christmas a long time ago, playing it the night I got it all night (along with Whiplash) and then never touching it again. Ahhh.....

I like that some cross-platform games going between 3DS & Vita. I hope it continue just like the way in the console xbox360 & PS3. I think it's the most beneficial thing in this generation for developers and consumers a like. Consumers will have the option and preference, depend on what console they have or their friend, of course each version might have specific features for it, like 3D on 3DS and qHD graphics on Vita.

I'd rather have a new Full Auto.

I think that was the blurb on the cover.

I would insert my typical "BUT VITA HAS NO GAMES. 2/10. - Jim Sterling", but this could actually be complete shit, lol.
