GamerFitNation’s BlackBible interviews Playstation Tester Greg about the new Twisted Metal. During the interview BlackBible felt a that spectre may possibly be in the game. Still, do fans want a return of the original Twisted Metal Line up?
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).
The rumours were legit. The Twisted Metal franchise is coming back, Sony
officially announced at CES 2022.
They should have made Destruction All star with a Twisted Metal skin as launch title.. With some more content of course.
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.
Agreed. I am mildly surprised they did not do a Twisted Metal iteration vs DAS. Could have easily reskinned everything, no?
Agreed. I’m playing serious Sam now and I think it’s awful in a great way. I’m enjoying it.
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.
Sony owns the franchise and Jaffe is no longer associated with them anymore, so Sony doesn't have to inform him on anything really...
I hope it follows the gameplay style of hardware rivals, seriously that game was awesome to play
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.
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.
@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.
@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.
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
Do Fans Want Originals like Spectre to Return?
Hell just bring back all the originals.
yes the fuck i do, I was excited about the new twisted metal until i found out none of the characters will be present. Now i have no interest in it
I have a question if anyone knows? is the TMB a HD inclusion? or just the original game no touches? is there online in it also?
This is basically TM2 rebooted so yes.
