Psxextreme: I remember first seeing the original Twisted Metal on my friend's PlayStation way back when, and I distinctly recall the words that spilled from my mouth: "holy crap, what is this?!" Then I fell in love all over again with Twisted Metal 2 - still one of my favorite games ever, and I still play it - and I knew right then I'd be a TM fan for life. ...or so I thought. 989 Studios took over for TM3 and TM4, both of which were colossal disappointments in my opinion, and I gave the franchise up for lost. Then, Jaffe and the boys returned for Twisted Metal: Black on the PS2, which instantly resurrected my faith.
Everyone knows Twisted Metal... I mean literally everyone! Whether it is simply a childhood classic for you, or one of the worst, mind-corrupting disgraces to entertainment you can think of, you've at least heard of this iconic title.
The WellPlayed crew gathers to pitch an appropriately deranged set of options for the future of Twisted Metal.
All I ask for is a new Twisted Metal that allows flat screen & PSVR2 cross play that also supports a wheel.
Would be heaven.
They need to get the enemy AI balance right. Thats what made 2 the best in the series. Black was abysmal in that dept.
You don't. Do sequels. If you've gotta reboot, might as well do a new IP. God of War is the only game I can say that did a successful reboot
Isn’t the new GoW just a sequel technically?
I personally think they can leverage the roots of the series. The original TM in 1995 took place on Christmas Eve 2005, and it was the 10th contest in history. Why not “reboot” the franchise by making a prequel of sorts showing the origin story of the series and maybe linking all the future games in a brilliant way. Seems like such an obvious idea to leverage old with the new (kind of look how Doom 2016 did with its lore).
PlayStation (PS1) game prices are beginning to get a little weird. The pandemic, renewed interest from collectors, and growing scarcity have all impacted PS1 game prices. CIB and New games can cost thousands for some titles. Use this list to snag some amazing old games to play or improve your collection without spending a fortune.
Still have my original PS1 my family got at Sam’s Club back in 1999 :) it still works and I have it hooked up to a 32” Sony Wega Trinitron that supports S Video and Component 👌🏼 PS1 games in S Video POP on there 🤩
Man i hope they reveal new one soon
I loved TM 1 and 2!!! Black was sweet too. We are seriously lacking car fighting games. This would be a system seller!!!!!!
because its a proven franchise that will get more PS1 and PS2 owners especially to migrate. People should never underestimate the selling power of proven franchise. SOCOM conv for example despite its issues sold very well in NA.
and V8, i don't know which I liked more. Hopefully both have a new game come out.
Twisted Metal Black was my favorite. The only reason why I didn't buy Twisted Metal Head On for the PS2 is because it just didn't have the same "dark" and "gritty" look/feel that TM: Black had, and Head On just seemed a lot more cartoony to me.
And I did actually like Twisted Metal 3 even though so many people seemed to hate it... Twisted Metal 4 for me was "o.k." but it's probably my least favorite in the series, however, I loved using Calypso's special attack in TM4... shooting that huge Nuke Missle off the back of his truck and detonating it was so awesome.
To compete with Twisted Metal on PS3, I want Activision to come out with another Vigilante 8 game because a sequel to Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense is LONG overdue and the Vigilante 8 series is yet another one of my favorite car combat games that I want to see come back.
