Twisted Metal PS3 is underwhelming

Am I the only person who was completely underwhelmed by the Twisted Metal PS3 reveal at E3 2010?

[movements]

You can't say that when you haven't even tested out the full thing.

[GWAVE]

Journalistic trolling.

I thought I'd never see the day. /s

[Bobbykotickrulesz]

I wasn't underwhelmed at all. But I also wasn't overwhelmed. It looks fun, there's no denying that, but to me I need to see some more of the game to get really hyped for it.

It looks like classic TM games which is awesome. But still, I'm not as excited for it as I am for a game such as Gran Turismo 5, inFamous 2, or Final Fantasy 14.

[FlipMode]

looked fun to me

[WhatARump]

many people love twisted metal... it's just not my type of game though x)

I wanted Kingdom Hearts 3 but NOOOOOOOOOOOO
Ah well, atleast Twisted Metal fans are happy ^^

[Donny]

i love how the new tm has factions like dolls, and the clowns, looks to be a great game. ;)

[Eamon]

It's true you shouldn't judge a game without trying it.

But as for the presentation itself, I too felt it was underwhelming.

[ThanatosDMC]

I agree though. There has to be something more since we've played Twisted Metal games to death. It dont see the game as a $59.99 worthwhile purchase. Also 16 players is a tad bit small... but that's just me.

Also, the fun factor is different now unlike back in the day when we played it with close friends or family members next to us.

I hope this game cost less than $40 but i doubt it so i'll wait when the first million of people buy it so they could lower down the price. Not to mention it doesnt look like a huge graphical upgrade compared to TM Black. It looks just like an HD version of it including the freeway map.

It'd would have been nice if they added Burnout Paradise/Motorstorm type of car destruction in the game when your car is hit by a missile or something...

[Tomdc]

he can say that because he was talking about the reveal. he wasn't passing judgment on the quality of the game just his impressions of the quality of the game. He also highlights the fact he knows he is in the minority with his opinion.

Dam those journalists for forming individual opinions about recent game announcements!! The cheek!!

[sikbeta]

"Journalistic trolling"

Sorry, but who is the "journalist" you're referring?

This one is not a Journalist, this is dude is a JOKE...

[evrfighter]

I'm buying TM but I'm not expecting a revolution. I just miss Twisted Metal. I don't care about raising the bar, innovation blah blah blah

I just once again wanna roll around as Axel and Thumper and blow sh*t up.

You're gonna be sorely disappointed if you're expecting the greatest game evar!!!!!

[rexus12345]

author decides to show a demo video which ends right before the good stuff were shown. The second part of the presentation showed so much more chaos and mayhem that is simply amazing.

[HighDefinition]

Kinect is Underwhelming....Twisted Metal PS3 is OVERWHELMING.

[Razmossis]

I used to play it all the time as a kid on 2 player, and that was great... but I dont know why everyone is treating this as a MEGATON announcement, the game was never amazing in the first place, it was a good 2 player game, but not amazing.

[maddhatter123]

happyface, unlike the 360 gameplay and graphics go hand in hand on the ps3 we don't have to choose. just look at the last 3 game of the year winners mgs4, lbp and uc2.

[xchris92x]

Fanboy alert

[Panthers]

I think you dont know PS fans that well. People buy PS3 over 360 cuz we dont just want FPS, which all FPS is about is graphics. Twisted Metal is a Playstation classic. I think you will be surprised at how well it does.

[Sitdown]

somebody posts an unfavorable view on a game/system, and like clockworth, the supporter of that particular game/system lashes back by bashing an item connected to the competitor. Ahhhh....its like grade school all over again; oh you silly egocentric gamers.

[Yardie]

This isn't about "xbox vs ps3", the writer doesn't like the look of the game in it's current state, the writer didn't mention Kinect, so why do you feel the need to?

Why do people automatically assume that somebody is a fanboy when they say something negative about an exclusive game?

why do you have over 40 agrees?

[BBAM]

well said, +bubbles
you give hope that N4G does have people with some sense in them

[callahan09]

Yeah, Twisted Metal isn't going to win any graphics awards, but every time I watch gameplay footage I'm blown away by how uncompromisingly FUN it looks. The speed, the weapons, the level design, it all just looks like a complete blast to play. Absolutely can't wait for this game.

[Sheikh Yerbouti]

Bubs bruh,

What I remember most about Twisted Metal games are the level designs, atmosphere and gameplay. We haven't seen much of either to decide. Graphics do make it look like a PSN game, and you are not playing an epic story like a Killzone, Gears or Uncharted. But if you were wanting these first and foremost in Twisted Metal, you weren't wanting Twisted Metal anyway.

[Panthers]

Exactly. TM is all about the fast chaotic arcade gameplay. I cant wait. This game seems to capture all the glory of TM2 and then some.

[SpLinT]

agree. i bet this guy plays Hollywood games like GoW3 and finishes it in 8 hours and is happy mashing the buttons on screen. I'll be playing TM for months, playing the game mode Nuke stealing the leader of the enemy team and controlling a missile to blow their statue while avoiding getting destroyed by enemy helicopters.

[raztad]

@Splint

"i bet this guy plays Hollywood games like GoW3" Bro keep GoW3 out of this, both (GoW and TM) are Jaffes creations.

@Sheikh

"Graphics do make it look like a PSN game" Talk about exaggeration. Game has huge maps, high framerate (looks to be substantially higher than 30fps) , textures and lighting are looking good. Considering game is very early, I'd say it would be easy on the eyes on release. Not KZ3 good, but not every game can be KZ3.

[villevalorox]

Sure the graphics looked like crap, but I'll bet it is still in pre-alpha. This game is going to be amazing, gamplay and graphics. :) can't wait.

[jeseth]

No matter what kind of gamer you are, Twisted Metal is pure fun. Its one of those kinds of games that can be as fun or as competitive as you want it to be.

You can screw around and try to just blow stuff up or you can maje it into one of the most competitive games you play. Its kind of like Mario Kart (and now Modnation Racers).

Maybe this guy is just too serious. If he is, he's missing out! Twisted Metal is a blast!

[iceman06]

The younger gamers seem to be more of the "graphix whores". They don't have the perspective to see that a game doesn't have to be jaw-dropping to be a blast to play. Being spoiled by "next-gen" graphics is cool, but with the perspective that pretty only lasts so long before you get to the core...the substance of the game play. THAT is what lasts. Plus, TM has a pedigree and history with the Playstation gamer.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

Don't enter to the site.

[Chris399]

If this was my article, I would have said something like: I respect the work that has been done on the game, looks fun in a chaotic, blasty sort of way.

That said, I would have rather seen Last Guardian or a JRPG.

But that's just my preference.

The difference is that I'm not preaching it as FACT, which a lot of these "journalists" tend to do. Opinion =/= fact. In this case, the person isn't even a journalist, just another blogger though.

[gta2800]

I was so excited when I first saw this that I missed one thing that I barely noticed. It appears there are only clowns? no more Thumper, Axel, Outlaw, Warhog, Minion, etc? Either way, I'm still exited but if that's the case I'll say I'm a little less exited, but still exited nonetheless.

[Parapraxis]

No, Jaffe said they are only showing 2 factions right now, more will be revealed throughout the year.

[Ri0tSquad]

But this game looks fast, scale is pretty big, and the gameplay perfect for a Twisted Metal game. I'm super excited. But yeah, your underwhelmed and I'm sure you're not the only one.

There has never been a game released that is loved by everyone. I loved the older GTA games and millions of people love GTAIV, but I was underwhelmed by it. Is that news? No, it's just my opinion. So how is "I expected more, it doesn't look as good as this, this, and that" news all of sudden?

@gta28000

I think that's only for *one* of the online modes Jaffe was showing. He said the game will have a SP with a story and old characters making a return. There will also be new characters as well.

[gta2800]

Aahhhh, thanks for clearing that up. Glad to hear that man! :)

[Schobeleth]

It's a blast, it runs like a dream and it's only 18 months into development. Take that or leave it, I won't try to prove I've been there, I know what I saw and I loved every minute of that 10 minute team deathmatch. Plus, you just don't fuck with Jaffe, come on I thought you knew that... oh wait, gamer.blorge? Nevermind.

[DarkTower805]

It doesn't seem like a $59.99 title. I don't know what kind of single player TM has, if any, but for just a mp game they should put a $39.99 price tag on it.

That being said, I can't wait for this game. It looks like wicked fun.

[arakouftaian]

i ask them about the engene and they told me its in house.
but i also saw the Santa Monica logo once
they restart the game because of frezzing.

i had a lot of fun the game is full of action,
fun and great multiplayer.

[Danny Dan]

Holy sh**

Everything Sony does, everyone criticizes... my god.

[DarkSpawnClone]

underwhelming My Foot,any TM fan should be excited over this the games not even done how can you even say any thing about it ? and besides Twisted metal was never the graphics king,But it was sooo much fun,i really don't think by the time of release it will look like that trailer,it will look 100 times better but really ? underwhelming? I don't Think So! its not even a finished game lol They probably showed before they where really ready too,Sony wanted a surprise and it was awesome!

[Spydiggity]

why not? how come you guys are allowed to overhype upcoming games like they're the 2nd coming before you play em, but when they look god awful like this game does, it's not okay to say that? pretty hypocritical.

the graphics are garbage, the physics looked terrible, the destruction looked last gen, the environments looked generic.

there wasn't anything about that game that looked better than very average. if it's more than 19.99 on PSN, it's a ripoff.

MUST MISS

P.S. i've been looking forward to a new twisted metal for nearly a decade (since black) for console. so imagine my disappointment when i saw the gameplay vids. if this game were coming out on any other system, you'd all be saying the same thing. but sony can shit in a box and call it great, and most of you would chant "day one"

EDIT: @guy above me: don't speak for all TM fans, please. i was a HUGE TM fan back in the day, and i think it looks like trash.

@guy above him: that's a complete lie too. it's actually the exact opposite. anything sony does, gets overpraised. *cough* Move *cough*

[iceman06]

If you were such a fan of TM you would know that it has NEVER really been about the graphics. It's been about the content and the style of the game. There is still more than a year left in the dev cycle to work out "physics" problems that you saw. Overall, it just seems really short-sighted to judge a pre-alpha online demo without touching the controller.

[tplarkin7]

The demo at the Sony's conference opened with David Jaffe flying the helicopter. It made it look like a top-down PSN game, like Calling All Cars. It looked cartoony and arcady.

It was a bad presentation.

[Snakefist30]

There telling this because they wanted us not to buy this game.But I am a fan and Iam sill Buying this game.

[asdf12]

Yes, you are.

[necksnappa]

your an idiot,it looked awesome.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

And it will look more awesome when they will add more technical gameplay and graphics.

Looks like this kind of ''Journalist'' consider the Pre Alpha Version EQUALS to the Final Code of the game

[NewNameNow]

Jaffe and his team works hard on making fun games, just because it isn't graphically intense though it does look damn good, doesn't mean it underwhelmed!

Flamebait, gtfo

[cmacdonald]

Def not going to give that link a click.

[IMChampion]

Wait, so he names 2 games that have been in development for the better part of 5 years and one for 2 hand half or 3 years then compares an 18 month old game to them? This guy should have his fingers chopped off for typing such nonsense.

[Pedantic91]

Pretty much.

[mushroomwig]

How is this news?

[LtSkittles]

It isn't.

[ckbarnett]

half the shit on this site isnt news

[Spydiggity]

try 98%

[jaosobno]

To answer the question from article: Yes you are the only one that thinks so.

Now let's move on to relevant things.

[tiamat5]

If after seeing Sweet Tooth and his gang of clowns you are underwhelmed then you playing the wrong system. The game was obviously not finished. Final product will rock.

[Prcko]

GamerBlorge lololol

[mirroredderorrim]

@Cold
Now. You just don't care anymore, do you?

@Graphics Whores
TM was never about graphics, it was always about gameplay, presentation and above all-else; FUN.

People slamming TM-PS3's graphics need a check up from the f%cking neckup.
It's still in development
The storage space and PS3's hardware will probably be utilized to create a lot on screen and the graphics are still going to be polished.

I expect TM-PS3 to be one of those games where gameplay suppresses the graphics whore in me.

Seeing the core team working on this new TM for PlayStation 3 reminds me why I went with the PlayStation brand, more than a decade ago.
It was one of the games the differentiated the console from the rest of the pack.

[OhReginald]

I grew up on TM2 all the way up to twisted metal black. I even played the psp TM head-on which was also great.

Twisted metal for ps3 is NOT underwhelming its OVERWHELMING on how much fun it will be especially with the new nuke mode and faction based multiplayer.

As a long time twisted metal player I honestly can not wait for this game. Looks like how a twisted metal game for the ps3 should look like.

David Jaffe delivered so far, and he still has a year left.

SO F YOU blorge.com

[Dioxinis]

I am personally i HUGE twisted metal fan and after watching the interview with jaffe during the 25 minutes showing gameplay and answering questions I am ABSOLUTELY PSYCHED for this game

Jaffe is the original creator and he is DIRECTLY on hand he wont let this turn out bad!

[Sir_Falcon]

The vehicle physics and animations of the cars in twisted metal are the worst i have ever seen!! It looks so bad and unnatural, they might as-well be driving spaceships because those cars don't act like cars.
Get proper car physics and it would be a seriously fun game!!

[Unicron]

"Proper" car physics suck for this game. They tried it in 989's versions, and they frankly sucked. This game is about pulling a 180 handbrake while launching rockets, not realistic physics.

[Sir_Falcon]

i still disagree, i think it would be 10x funner to have GTA4s car physics.

[IHateYouFanboys]

100% agreed.

you dont play Twisted Metal for REALISM lol. you play it, like you said, so you can pull a 180 handbrake turn while launching rockets at a freaking psychotic clown driving an ice-cream truck, while someones launching an explosive person from the front of their car at you.

now ill be the first to admit the graphics were a bit of a let down. it just looks like a slightly upgraded twisted metal black, not a whole new PS3 game. but having grown up playing twisted metal, especially twisted metal world tour, and having an absolute blast with it, it doesnt phase me in the slightest that its not the prettiest game.

and i think thats what it comes down to - lets be honest, probably 90% of the fanboys on here werent even old enough to talk when the playstation was originally launched, and no doubt never even played the original twisted metals, so its unique gameplay/premise is lost on them. all they see is a car game on PS3, so they think that it has to have driving simulator physics and gran turismo quality graphics, because heaven forbid a car game comes out and just makes its controls simple and easy to use.....

[mirroredderorrim]

There is a reason they are games. You want TM with accurate physics, then I suggest working toward a career in demolition derby.

[RAM MAGNUMS]

Jaffee decided to show off a new mode they are working on & some car models.
What I saw graphically was pre pre pre alpha footage of giant maps, traffic, pedestrians & so much more going on.

Are journalist just saying they would have just been happy with a teaser trailer? Jaffee underestimated the maturity of journalist. When jaffee decides to give you guys some screenshots in a few weeks there will be no doubt how graphically beautiful your next gen twisted metal will be.

For those too young to have experience a twisted metal. Think Streetfigher with cars in 3D.
It's going to be insane.

[Evoluti0n]

That may be a bit of a stretch, maybe...alpha? That probably looks about right.

Def looks fun though.

[swiftshot93]

Yeah, just like when everyone was saying GOWIII looks like a PS2 game...if thats the case then Im totally OK with that...

[Prcko]

I DON'T CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM FAN OF TM AND I KNOW THAT A LOT OF PPL GONNA BUY PS3 NOW BECAUSE THEY W8 SO LONG FOR THIS GAME TO BE A PART OF PS3 CONSOLE!!!!

[Why o why]

my preference is the ps but ive never been a fan of twisted metal. If i had to look at this from a super neutral standpoint it just looks ok and its still early. Lets see if a bit of elbow grease can smarten it up before release.....when is that anyway. If this looks underwhelming then what about crackdown 2....I hate deflecting but who come there's no article about that game and its closer to being released. AGAIN sorry for deflecting cause i personally dont like people who do that all the time.

[Chicago8506]

Huh?....
To the author:
What is your deal man? R u looking for eye-candy?
I mean what exactly r u looking for? I don't get it.

Twisted Metal is going to be insanely fun when it touches down...
I don't know about u but I enjoy blowing ppl up in battle racing games like this.

The gameplay looked sweet...what tha hell r u talking about....underwhelming...pfft!

Game on!

[The_Zeitgeist]

Opinion Police

[bjornbear]

its "news" apparently.

news =/= opinion

news has to be objective, not expressing that you think a game is underwhelming without giving no concise reason =(

[Gun_Senshi]

Am I the only person who was completely played Twisted Metal PS3 at E3 2010?

You need to play it to be underwhelmed

[The_Zeitgeist]

I thought the graphics could have looked better. The world seemed a little bland and the destruction elements were kinda last gen. Then again it is somewhat early in development. Which means plenty of time to upgrade the visuals. Either way it doesn't matter to me I never liked the other games back in the day. Just wanted to give my two cents.

[blodulv]

I thought the movements of the vehicles looked pretty "meh" as well. Like PS2 arcade type physics/handling whatever you want to call it. This generation of consoles still can't get great looking motorcycle gameplay (ala Lost & Damned). Still way to early though and I will actually get this as I loved the original games.

I'm sure it will be fun as hell, especially online.

[LevDog]

Alan Wake.. He is comparing a game that was in development for like 3-4 years and was average at best in graphics and gameplay and has since faded into the background..

I can pretty much guarantee that TW3 will be way more fun than Alan wake..

Twisted Metal in my opinion has never had great "realistic" graphics.. That wasnt what the game was about.. TM Black had average graphics but it was the art direction and gameplay that mattered..

[PimpHandHappy]

did this guy walk home with a free 360?

i seen the gameplay and it looked really fast and fun

[bjornbear]

really?

I'D SAY ITS ARTICLE

and + car shooters = WIN

vigilante 8 was AWESOME, and it was a sh!t game, so if this has jaffe behind it, on the PS3 it will not fail

you will eat crow as gabe did when TM comes out I can bet on it ;)

[RAM MAGNUMS]

Power sliding!
Freeze blast, Jump, Drop a Mine , homing missle & then use your special attack combos!
Twisted metal gets your thumb into overdrive! First person view is making a comeback too.

Let's not forget about the story of twisted metal.
If you thought god of war 3 was violent then you might need a bucket for your puke with TM.
My favorite Vehicle was Warthog.

[BumpFrankie]

This guy is the only person who could be underwhelmed from Twisted Metal. Well him and every other flaming-console-war-addict-wan nabe-trolling-faggot-who-has-cl early-never-played-a-twisted-me tal-game-in-their-entire-existe d-of-colossal-feces. Twisted Metal brings back such great memories and all the kids who have never played Twisted Metal 3 or 4, or even Black, are missing out on so much fun. The new Twisted Metal does not disappoint and its going to be a first day buy for me. Im sure MANY others will follow me on my journey to Excitement Heaven on this games release.

[Figboy]

but i remember playing the first two on the PS1 back in the day and having a great time.

as for Twisted Metal PS3, seeing it in person at E3 pumped me up for the game.

the videos don't do it justice (like most vids these days).

seeing the game actually running on a PlayStation 3 makes a big difference.

even Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines looks WAAAY BETTER when running on the system than the trailer they released.

Twisted Metal is looking rock solid, and these kinds of articles are made for ONE reason only: hits.

it's really sad that the internet has birthed this style of gaming "journalism." journalism in general, actually. it's not just limited to the games industry. sensationalism sells, but it's relegated game coverage to the realm of tabloid.

next we'll be seeing stories about how Cliffy B. was seen with a mysterious woman that's NOT his wife leaving a hotel on Hollywood and Vine. or maybe David Jaffe being the father of an alien love child.

it's pathetic where gaming journalism has gone.

[telekineticmantis]

I don't think he's a troll or microsoft slave like gizmodo. I think he's being relatively honest. I hear people bashing games and their reasons don't make sense. I think twisted metal looks amazingly fun and unusual for this gen. A freeway with real traffic common that's crazy in the same sense of a grand theft auto. But it does'nt have the polish you usually see from a sony game. Through the hype of how fun the game looked at first I didn't notice it but looking carefully I see it now. The good thing is theres still alot of time left in development.

[0oAngeluso0]

I simply saw this and posted it in order to be able to get my three articles approved. I never said I agreed with it. I come back from dinner with my Father and I see like 14 people reported against the story.
I am a huge Twisted Metal fan and look forward to the new game. It was just a story people. My bad for offending anyone with it.

[iNFAMOUZ1]

U offend twisted metal u offend us all buddy

[DuneBuggy]

I actually liked that the graphics reminded me of TM2 and Black. But I do recall reading a article here a few days ago stating they were shooting for a teen rating. That could mean......uhh you dont make a violent car combat game with "Uncharted" like graphics......

[divideby0]

does the author realize the game is probably a year away.

[Gene]

I'm I the only one?

Lmao yeah you are.

[Lirky]

an 18months pre alpha build.

The game will have more polish and probably have better destruction animations too.

Here's a 25min video where david jaffe does a q&a with the press and he goes in depth explaining new modes bringing back stories for each character etc.

http://www.giantbomb.com/e3...

[Dead_Cell]

I've never really liked the old ones, and this one doesn't really seem to impress me either.

[maddhatter123]

i said this to a 360 fanboy so i'll say it here too i guess.

it is multiplayer
16 players online
2-4 player slipt screen on and offline
zero lag from what was demoed
fully destructible enviorments
large maps
lots of action going on
and is still early in developement

name just 1 game that does all this and looks better then you clowns can talk.

[iNFAMOUZ1]

Its good to be back. let The games begin ;)

[Sevir04]

But then I also realized it wasn't a bad looking game either. it looked pretty great and it was ONLY Multiplayer footage. most games tend to look in multiplayer online tend to look Not sooo good. but this game looked very good just not mind blowing.

Still. KZ3 takes the crown for best looking game of E3. it was just amazing

[Dayngls]

the only thing i was underwhelmed by was the graphics. im sure itll be fun and all but i think the looks could use some work

[harrypmgaga]

I'd have to agree, Twisted Metal is not something fun to watch. Playing it at E3, it didn't even play like fun. Graphics we're pretty cool, especially considering it's not final code.

It's just not my kind of game, I think.

[yojoe26]

I've watched every video I can find that has gameplay footage of Twisted metal at least three or four times each. Not because I'm critiquing, but because I'm in AWE of just how polished and FUN this game looks. I went in to this whole thing knowing that you can't have a game like twisted metal look like Gran Turismo 5. Twisted Metal has about two thousand more things happening at once compared to Gran Turismo, but to say that I haven't seen the slightest hiccup in framerate or pop-in is extremely impressive. It looks brilliant and I cannot WAIT until next year!!

[JonnyBigBoss]

It was pretty much the funnest game on the E3 2010 floor, and definitely isn't underwhelming.

[Lirky]

I guess ppl will see twisted metal ps3 as a fanservice game, where mostly ppl who heard of the ones in the past and played them and didnt mind them.. those are the ones that would enjoy tm ps3.

But the true-fans who played most of them will be use to the gameplay just better graphics, and same intense action just tweaked.

Also the stories for each driver... that'll be fun too im sure some will just enjoy the characters stories and do online after they have unlocked all drivers and watched all stories.

[Darkfiber]

Exactly. It's underwhelming in terms of graphics and innovation, but it's giving fans what they want, and most are okay with that.

[xg-ei8ht]

The graphics aint crap at all, lol.

Dynamic lighting, destructable environments, tons of s%it going on, excellent use of blur, you need to get the hd version.

http://www.gamersyde.com/st...

[Darkfiber]

I wouldn't consider this trolling. It did look pretty underwhelming. While I'm sure it's more fun to play than watch, the graphics look pretty PS2 era, or 2005 xbox era, and there just doesn't seem to be much new going on. It looks like PS1 gameplay. If you like it, go for it, but don't question people who have actually PLAYED it when you haven't.

[peeps]

nah i agree, for several reasons....

1) The only TM game i've played was Head On for the psp (so not been a follower of the franchise)
2) It looks very rough around the edges. Yes i know it's early days but seeing a helicoptor fly into a building and the building explode and dissapear instantly reminded me of the ps2 days.

The gameplay looks fun, but i just think for such a big playstation brand it has nothing on some of sony's other games such as kz and uncharted

[N4BmpS]

Twisted Metal will be one of the few games I play online, I remember just playing the near endlessly because it was soo much fun.

[TheLastGuardian]

Twisted Metal was my first game i got along with my first console a Playstation on my 5th birthday. I picked the game out because I liked the red car, semi truck and the ice cream truck with a flaming clown head on top. I’ve heen a hardcore gamer ever since. I’ve boughten every Twisted Metal game and every playstation at least once. PS3 and TM2 are my favorites of those franchises although I love all of my Playstation consoles and even the psp, and I love all the TM games in the series, yes even TM3,4 and small brawl.

Ever since I heard about the message in Twisted Metal: Head On extra twisted edition saying Twisted Metal is on PSthree, a TM game for the PS3 has been my most anticipated game. You should have seen me from the time the taxi driver in the Twisted Metal debut trailer said car combat on the playstation until about 10 minutes after sony’s press conference was over when I started to calm down a little.

I hope i can get my hands on this game early because sometime in 2011 can’t come quick enough. As soon as i get this game i will play through as many story modes as i can until i can’t stay awake any longer. Then when i wake up the game will be released and i will try out the online modes for the first time and play them and move up the ranks until I get to permanantly play as Sweet Tooth every waking second that playing i’m not playing single player or not in class. I start this fall at Southern Polytech. I’m going to get my game design degree and i hope to follow in Jaffe’s footsteps. I’m a huge God Of War fan as well.

Has anyone else seen the 25 minute video that was on N4G last night of David Jaffe playing and commentating on the new Twisted Metal and he said there would be ranking up similar to Call Of Duty. I am excited about the story modes but at the time i am much more excited for the flaming chainsaws I mean the multiplayer modes considering that’s all we know about the game. David Jaffe has pulled off many spectacular single player games but I dont know if Calling All Cars had multiplayer modes or not I haven’t bought that game yet. I’m also not sure if he had anything to do with Twisted Metal Black: Online or the multiplayer modes in Twisted Metal: Head On. I have faith that with the technology of the PS3 and the brilliant mind of David Jaffe this could the PS3’s best game, Jaffe’s best game and GOTY 2011!

It hasnt even been a week since it's been revealed David Jaffe says he and his team will reveal more characters,factions, MP modes, and I'm hoping the story modes will have plenty of characters from TM1, 2 and Black and beginning,middle and end movies like in black. This game WILL NOT dissapoint!!!

[remanutd55]

well to be honest , i wasnt a Twisted Metal fan last generation , the franchise never got my attention , dont know why , same thing happened with fps games , didnt like them now i do but they r not my favorites by any means well to the point , i was happy to see sony announcing a new game but i wasnt so excited because it was Twisted Metal ( i wanted it to be Syphon Filter or MediEvil ) ( even though Sorcery have that look like MediEvil lol ) anyways after the sony press conference i went to try all the games and to my surprise the most fun i had was with Motorstorm Apocalypse ( which btw looks spectacular in 3D ) and Twisted Metal ( its extremely fun ) now i cant wait to have the those games on my ps3 , yes i did played Killzone 3 , Gran Turismo 5 , God of War Ghost of Sparta( man i can already tell that it will best Chains of Olympus ) , Socom 4, Little Big Planet 2 and others but the 2 most fun games i played were Motorstorm and Twisted Metal ( they are awesome )

Twisted Metal is fun,though me personally I have never been a HUGE fan.The people who loved TM back in the days will love this game,I'm sure I'll still find it enjoyable,shit who knows,maybe i'll fall in love with the new one depending on how it is.But don't call a game that is still in developement underwhelming,you haven't played the final product...

This game will become a strong seller as long as they can get the multiplayer to be really addictive and fun and balanced, with Killzone-esque clan creation etc. The emphasis on teamwork in the online modes and the inclusion of the helicopter really appeals to me. This is the first time the series has really been able to shine online, and it seems like his team is doing what it takes to ensure the multiplayer has depth to it and remains enjoyable for many months/years after release.

The other half of it is that they also need to make plenty of destructable/modifiable areas with big explosions like the Paris level in TM2, and make them strategic to the maps.

Jaffe has a good mind for an online multiplayer experience based on what I saw from the E3 demo he did backstage as well as his comment going back to earlier this year. I haven't played Warhawk, but people who were into that game and awaiting word of Starhawk; you might want to look into this game as a serious temporary (or permanent) substitute. Twisted Metal was always meant to be played online.

didint even bother reading this the title is enough... this is just some ps3 hater prob mad because the ps3 and playstation brand all together has GAMES and they are not affraid to let you know that by producing first party hits consistantly making NEW IPs and then them actually being succesful unlike the 360 who will give you in the next year or so HALO (AGAIN) gears of war 3,,, Fable 3... aaaaand ? nothing else that would crack 1.5mil sold.. oh yeah i forgot we get call of duty map packs! woot woot

The build was early in development. If you were underwhelmed, then wait til 2011, when the game has more to offer.

I personally love everything I've seen so far in this game. It blows my mind how polished this game is at such an early level of development.

Twisted Metal and underwhelming can't go in same sentence

[cygnuszero]

The game doesnt look very good at all to me, but Im aware that its not done.

[PandaJenkins]

I loved the first two Twisted Metal Games, the others... not so much. I thought Black was pretty crap, and the new one doesen't look very good to me either. Could be wrong but I have lost interest after seeing the demo footage from E3.

[BBAM]

Certainly in comparison to alot of the other games being shown. The game, visually, doesn't look up to the mark with other ps3 exclusives which is a shame concidering in the same amount of time this has been in development, Killzone 2's engine was already looking great. In addition the demo shown was buggy and the gameplay looked overly arcade like.
However I never played any of the previous installments so wasn't driven by the announcement as others were.

on the original play station it will be a lot of fun. Multiplayer in this game will be a blast. I owned the original and there was nothing like it at the time.

Let's just wait and see how popular TM online remains.

Especially competing against KZ3, R3, Starhawk, Battlefield games, MOH, COD games, etc.

Jaffe should have made a third person shooter/action game, alternative world, wacky characters, bad-ass enemies sadistic weapons, mega-violence(at least same as Gears or God of War3).

But for some reason, he thought a vehicle combat game will draw in the masses. Let's watch and see.

Game is shown for the first time and people start complaining, it looks just like a classic already. people who can't tell are blind to what Twisted Metal is all about. They want something overrated.

[Henry Cain]

Never really liked Twisted Metal.

[willie32]

The Twisted Metal series has never been about stellar graphics. I want the game to stick to its roots by being absolutely fast, insane, and downright pure action packed fun. That is why I liked the series and very pumped for this game.

[Lirky]

it would be nice if rumble rumbles lightly depends how u are going at a slow speed, and if u go super fast the controller rumbles with a nice steady rumble.

Let's judge games a year before they're released.

[Nickster800]

I wasn't because David Jaffe said he wasn't going to even show a game and I basicly lost all hope of a new Twisted Metal game but he ended up showing it right before the Sony press conference was about to end!

[yogaflame]

Well everyone of this generation kiss there fps and tps ass so much that they expect all games to look like that even if TM style is always a cartoon, that is its art style and it is actually very clean and lots of effect. And this is pre alpha and Sta Monica is behind them so expect much better. Some of you are just jealous that you don't have enough exclusive and will just stick to your soccer moms toy kinetic.

[EazyC]

Wow. Can't believe something having a go at a PS only (yes PS only) game gets approved. Then you call this journalistic trolling (according to GWAVE) ? It's opinion, actually, which is far from trolling. Now its on N4PSG, I wouldn't be surpised if the author of this article was found in his home with his limbs cut off and his organs ripped out. With a PS3 controller.
XD

and i have only seen low quality videos

I wasnt at all impressed by the twisted metal presentation at sony's E3. I liked sorcery better, even if it looked like a harry potter copycat, but the gameplay looked awesome and it sold me MOVE better than any other game Ive seen. Hopefully its as good as it looks.

Twisted metal?? I know they tried to make a big fuzz with the truck and the clown and everything, but to me it was all, meeeeh... not impresive.
