IGN E3 2010: Twisted Metal First Look - The king of car combat is back

IGN writes: "It's been a few years since the last Twisted Metal game and we all knew that another entry in the well-known car combat franchise was past due. But thankfully at the end of Sony's press conference this year, Sweet Tooth's demented ice cream truck rolled out onto the stage and unloaded David Jaffe and Scott Campbell. The co-founders of Eat, Sleep, Play revealed that Twisted Metal would be hitting the PlayStation 3 exclusively next year, and proceeded to show the audience a first glimpse at the pre-alpha gameplay. I had the chance to try the game out for myself after the conference. Even though the game is still early in development, there's a lot of potential for this car combat reboot.

hell yes. sweettooth is back with a vengeance! THIS TIME....ITS FOR REAL!...lol. my goty 2010/2011

SonyOwnsNextYear5083d ago (Edited 5083d ago )

it already looks good at this stage. This is GREAT news since we should all know by now that the ps3 exclusives ALWAYS get A SUBSTANTIAL graphical improvement by the time it is all said and done.

I am not even concerned about gameplay. This is twisted metal. Just look at the surface to air battle in pic number 2.

Im FACKING HYPED

Mista T5083d ago

will be such a fun game, gameplay will be amazing.

basicsameh5145083d ago

surprisingly i never played a twisted metal game but im looking forward to it

halojunkie5083d ago

play tm black. omg fkn great game.

gta28005083d ago

I'm really Exited for Killzone 3, Infamous 2 and a lot of the other announcements but for some reason I seemed to have gotten more exited for this. I can't wait!

ThanatosDMC5083d ago

Looks like we can make our own screwed up character because of the faction modes.

I can't make the submission cause I dont have enough approved articles but http://n4g.com/news/545112/... is the same thing and has been up for a while

Cyrus3655083d ago

No, this is IGN look at the game, that's gamespot, there both unique and not the same thing.

IWentBrokeForGaming5083d ago

the way they tried to talk was wayyyy off... just felt weird... and the gameplay to me at least looked like it would get old fast... it also made no sense to me from what I saw...

Last time I touched this game was back on PS1... and we know how long gone those days are...

if anyone can refresh it would be appreciated!!

PS360PCROCKS5083d ago

Sweet!! 16 people online!? That's awesome!

ThanatosDMC5083d ago

I was hoping for 32 with giant maps.

A change in the wind5083d ago

This was a show stopper, the biggest, and only true megaton of E3.

gta28005083d ago

Surprisingly, it's my top E3 game. I was more exited for Infamous 2 and Killzone 3 but after seeing the gameplay I got soooo exited for this. I hope they keep it old school with the heavy metal music. TM always had "badass" written all over it and this one looks to top em all!

All I ask for is a new Twisted Metal that allows flat screen & PSVR2 cross play that also supports a wheel.
Would be heaven.

Babadook7298d ago

Wow. I like the idea of VR twisted metal with a wheel.

Rebel_Scum298d ago

They need to get the enemy AI balance right. Thats what made 2 the best in the series. Black was abysmal in that dept.

neomahi298d ago

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

TiredGamer298d ago (Edited 298d ago )

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).

Knightofelemia297d ago

Just make it a good game Twisted Metal has it's fan base.

PlayStation confirm they are working on Twisted Metal series

The rumours were legit. The Twisted Metal franchise is coming back, Sony
officially announced at CES 2022.

NecrumOddBoy861d ago

I hope this is camp as all hell.

bouzebbal860d ago

They should have made Destruction All star with a Twisted Metal skin as launch title.. With some more content of course.

NecrumOddBoy859d ago (Edited 859d ago )

Rumor mill is that the team used All Stars as a test bed game to make a PS5 Twisted Metal in the future. No idea why they made this though. Total miss and it could hurt them in the end. Twisted Metal is really awesome. I honestly hope they take this series the Forza Horizon route. Maybe a big open world like a destroyed city in an apocalyptic setting. Still can have arenas and races, battles etc, but also add RPG elements and quests, challenges etc.

Dirtnapstor859d ago

Agreed. I am mildly surprised they did not do a Twisted Metal iteration vs DAS. Could have easily reskinned everything, no?

sourOG860d ago

Agreed. I’m playing serious Sam now and I think it’s awful in a great way. I’m enjoying it.

Majin-vegeta861d ago

Looks like the new game is pretty much confirmed now.

Bobertt860d ago

Idk David Jaffe had said he has seen stuff about the TV show but Sony has never told him anything about a new game. I find it hard to believe they would not tell the creator of the franchise they were going to make a new game.

Army_of_Darkness859d ago

Sony owns the franchise and Jaffe is no longer associated with them anymore, so Sony doesn't have to inform him on anything really...

NapalmSanctuary858d ago

...says f2p with Lucid developing. Might wanna keep them expectations low.

isarai861d ago

I hope it follows the gameplay style of hardware rivals, seriously that game was awesome to play

Godmars290860d ago

How about having to race through a destructible city with tons of people to mow down.

burnout with rocket launchers and ability to drive on skyscraper roofs or through office floors.

DarXyde860d ago

That sounds like Carmageddon meets Warhawk.

I'm iffy on reviving Twisted Metal personally. I replayed it on PS3 via PSOne classics because I loved the originals and I must say, these titles haven't aged well. We're now two generations removed from then, which was already 1-2 generations removed from the originals.

There needs to be some serious modernization efforts for these games to do well.

Godmars290859d ago

@DarXyde:
And what would be wrong with a "Carmageddon meets Warhawk" game? Pretty much what you'd want of a PS5 version of a PS1 title.

NapalmSanctuary858d ago

@Godmars Thats not Twisted Metal. Its one thing to do something like that with an alt game mode but Twisted Metal already has an identity. The gameplay needs to stay true to it.

--Onilink--860d ago

The only thing confirmed by Sony so far was a TV series, not a game

Neonridr860d ago

that's great, looking forward to some next gen destruction!

TheDoomedGuy860d ago

Imagine how it'll feel with the dual sense.

--Onilink--860d ago

I get the feeling that most people arent really reading the article. The only thing confirmed by Sony is the TV series.

Anything about a new game is just rumors and speculation at this point
