Knight Rider 2 in development


Davilex Games announces that it's working on a Knight Rider sequel scheduled for release on PS2 and PC towards the end of this year.

Davilex Games has today announced that it's working on Knight Rider 2 for the PC and PlayStation 2. Based on the '80s TV show of the same name, the game is the sequel to last year's Knight Rider game which has sold over 170,000 units across Europe to date.

"We are excited to develop and publish the sequel to Knight Rider," said Rogier Avis, CEO of Davilex Games. "The first version was successful and it is a logical move to release its follow-up. We have carefully listened to our customers' feedback on Knight Rider and we will be incorporating many of the given suggestions into Knight Rider 2."

In addition to the chase, race, explore, and puzzle elements found in Knight Rider, the sequel will feature two additional gameplay elements in the form of combat and minigames. Using KITT's combat mode, players will do battle against robots, armored vehicles, and Michael Knight's evil twin brother Garth. Minigames in Knight Rider 2 will include a shooting gallery and dirt track racing amongst others.

In addition to the single-player missions Knight Rider 2 will feature split-screen support for two players, although it's not yet clear whether the multiplayer modes of play will be cooperative, competitive, or both. We'll bring you more information on Knight Rider 2, which is currently scheduled for release towards the end of this year, as soon as it becomes available.

I don't think we will see the PS2 version in North America.
But we will be lucky to see the PC version a few months after
it's release in Europe, just like the first game.
I was hoping to see the first game out on PS2 here in North America.
I am still wondering why it has not been released.
But I guess all we can do is cross our fingers and hope it will be
here this time.

hmmmmmmmmmm...... It doesn't really say you can "play as MK" They don't have his name in there any where, I know I will not buy this game (well most likely, unless it is really good) If he isn't a player again!

Yea, it looks like its primary focus is still a racer. Hopefully it will have a bit more challeneg and complexity to it. Lets wait and see something from Davilex before we judge so swiftly.

Is it just me, or would the folks at Davilex be wise to ask people who have made really good KITT replicas to send them tons of photos of the exterior and interior of their replicas? It seems like their best resource -- fans -- would also be the easiest and least expensive to obtain.

They have one? I know they are working on a sequel to Bridge Commander (which I'm not too excited about) I didn't know that they had a completed game.

I'll buy it even if there is no real MK participation. I mean, KITT was basically the whole show. Yeah, it was about one man making a difference, but what made it popular? KITT. Hasselhoff didn't make KR popular, KR made Hasselhoff popular.
Michael: "KITT! Where are ya?!"
K.I.T.T.: "I'm in your parking space, Michael, where else would I be?"

London Racer, Europe Racer, Thames Racer, USA Racer, and Holiday Racer are some games made by Davilex. So dont really expect action games by Davilex although they also announced Miami vice.

For that guy who talked about michael not being the real star .
I agree , KR made David popular .

I rather drive then have to get out the car . itl slow me down although I dont mind playing as him .

but I think this would be the best game out from Daivlex (spelling)

because This Series has a huge fan base then any of there other titles .
Knight Rider is probaly their only "BIG" selling game that they have to offer so far . so I Agree that they probaly will make more KR games .

ITs their lastet And only hit I know of
:P

A Good First Person Shooter... Great Graphics... But a little short.

Few more details from Blues News:

"We are excited to develop and publish the sequel to Knight Rider. The first version was successful and it is a logical move to release its follow-up. We have carefully listened to our customers feedback on Knight Rider and we will be incorporating many of the given suggestions into Knight Rider 2" says CEO, Rogier Avis.

Knight Rider was one of the most popular TV series of the 80's attracting millions of viewers to the adventures and missions of David Hasselhof and his super can-do-all car K.I.T.T. Knight Rider is still shown on many TV Stations worldwide and enjoys a large following of fans who fondly remember Michael Knight, Bonnie, Devon and Garth, as well as the main star of the series, the shiny black sleek car named K.I.T.T.

Knight Rider 2 will address much of the customer feedback received on the first Knight Rider game as well as add many new features, which will improve the gameplay dramatically whilst maintaining the authentic atmosphere of the series. Knight Rider 2 will contain more action, in-game animations, special effects and dialogue than its predecessor. In addition to the gameplay elements of chase, race, explore and puzzle, Knight Rider 2 will also offer two complete new games modes: Combat and Mini Games.

As in the first Knight Rider, the player will play K.I.T.T. and must use all the unique features that this famous car was capable of in order to successfully complete missions. Whether its driving in ski-mode in narrow alleys, utilizing night vision to see where others can not, chasing the bad guys with incredible speed by activating the Turbo Boost or scanning buildings to analyse a situation, Knight Rider 2 will still offer all the thrilling features associated with the original K.I.T.T. car of the TV series.

In Knight Rider 2, KITT is now also capable of Combat mode which will raise the gameplay element significantly with the player using different car-based weapons to fight off robots, armoured vehicles and of course Garth, Michaels evil twin-brother and arch enemy. Mini Games such as Dirt Track Racing and The Shooting Gallery add to the excitement and fun. These Mini Games may be unlocked by successfully completing certain missions.

Furthermore, new tracks and environments, some with unconventional surroundings, will definitely add to a fantastic gaming experience. In this second game, players will be able to immerse themselves in the world of Knight Rider playing out numerous action packed missions providing hours upon hours of fun. A multi-player mode will allow breathtaking split-screen action between two players.


Thanks to K.I.T.T for the heads up.
