Kotaku: The man behind vehicular shooter Twisted Metal, David Jaffe, recently fired back with with a nigh perfect response to Shigeru Miyamoto's question "Why would you make that? Why would you put a gun on a car?"
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "There are a few small tweaks that could've made the experience as a whole even more impressive and although it's a little late in the day for any changes to be made in this department, I thought I would write an article to examine the things that hold back the Vita from being a mind-blowing portable PlayStation legacy system."
I agree it did damage adoption of the system. I read an article that they chose a proprietary format for storage to limit / reduce software piracy. In the long run though it would seem their choice did far more harm than good. I still use my Vita from time to time but not as much as I would have liked.
My main gripe was the fact that save game files were tied to the application instsll meaning if you uninstall you lose your saves excluding psp and ps4 titles
Memory cards didn't drop to a respectable price.
1 account per memory card.
Save files were locked to the apps, delete the app & your save file goes, also makes backing up saves a pain.
Worse is that some of your saves won't load if you no longer have DLC that was in the save previously.
No way to back up trophies offline, to transfer to the offline storage of another Vita.
It still has great games though & portability is very nice.
Twisted Metal aimed to entertain, and it did that far more often than not – even if that was occasionally executed with some of the worst acting this side of a Jill Sandwich.
The ps1 games were the best. I would play split screen with my brother all the time. We would tape a big piece of cardboard to the tv so we couldn't look at each other's screen. So much fun.
The last one just wasn't as fun as the old ones not sure why.
Nope, I enjoyed them all, even TM3 and 4. Forget which one of those had a soundtrack of Entirely Rob Zombie, but that one rocked.
Twisted Metal 3 made by 989 studios. I like those one too but they were much less quality. My favorite is TM2 and TM Black then TM1 TMPS3 and TM3 and TM4
No your not the only one that enjoyed all twisted metal, waiting for twisted metal game for PS4

2 was the best: it was our "new year's eve" game two years in a row, that's saying something.
3 and 4 were very blah, thanks to the split off of SingleTrac. I much prefer their other two games that utilized the same engine. Rogue Trip was interesting, adding even more dark humor. And whilst not given as much respect, I loved the slow pacing and capture-the-flag attitude of Critical Depth.
GameZone's David Sanchez goes back and takes Twisted Metal: Head-On for a ride. Does this car combat title, which was previously available on the PSP and PlayStation 2, withstand the test of time?
As much as I like darker Twisted Metal games, I really dig the more lighthearted style of Head-On.
This twisted metal is great fun online and locally. My biggest gripe is the connectivity issues. SERIOUSLY FIX THIS SH!T.
Yeah, I really dig the newest Twisted Metal. The online issues are a pain, but when you get an online game going, it's a helluva lot of fun!
It just goes to show logic doesn't pay in Nintendo world. In Nintendo world they can do no wrong. In Nintendo world Miyamoto is God in the flesh. In reality, he's a Hitler.
Miyamoto is a damn liar and he's gotten away with rape and murder for years and years in the videogame industry. He's had his way with every good idea from every good developer and no one ever questions if he had inspiration in doing the **** he does.
Pikmen is a glorified Lemmings... Sorry, folks.
Mario Galaxy... Like it, love it or hate it... Had much inspiration from R&C.
Animal Crossing was the sims for kids.
I can go on and on and on some more. He is not as talented or as ingenuous as you people like to think and anyone who thinks he never played R&C is a damn fool. More so cause just 2 years prior I have a picture of him playing Jak 3 at E-3, while Jason Rubins sits idle watching him play.
You mean to tell me he's heard of Jak, Crash and Spyro but not R&C... ? Please.
My favorite developer ever just made history again. I personally dont like him cursing too much but like he said, that's just the way he was brought up. I mean he could try to change but hey, thats up to the man.
This is what I feared might happen if Nintendo wins this generation. I don't care who, Microsoft or Sony, Please do something to take back your lead
Recently Miyamoto has been somewhat downplaying the other developers such as Insomniac by saying that he has never heard of Ratchet and Clank ?!?! Was he serious ? I mean come on now...
Why would put a gun on a car? Why would you put a plumber in space?
I don't see eye to eye with Jaffe in terms of game designs, but he does what he loves and creates what he envisions which is a very respectable quality.
However I admit, the comment about the banana peel, and this response to the Nintendo fans up in arms over that comment is quite spectacular and it's true.
I thought it was funny and for not a moment did I get the impression he was backhanding Miyamoto or the Mario Kart series.
I LOVE Jaffe! He always speaks his mind and is right probably 100% of the time. He reminds me of Patton Oswalt during that video. Hilarious.
