GR writes: "What's better than cars, guns, and explosions? That's likely what David Jaffe was thinking when he came up with Twisted Metal nearly two decades ago. What once would be considered a demented idea has spawned a series of vehicular combat video games that have lasted over 16 years, entertaining millions in the process. To show our respect for the longest-running PlayStation exclusive, we've decided to take a trip back down memory lane just in-time for the the next release coming this month, recalling some of the series' most explosive moments while we're at it."
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.

Well, I personally think that Santa Monica did an absolutely phenomenal job with Kratos, showcasing insane character development in all the right ways.
Wasn't Jaffe the one who got stuck on something easy in Metroid Dread and started bashing the game because of it? From what I played of GoW 2018, they actually gave Kratos some much-needed depth. I definitely plan to finally go through the newer entries once my PS5 comes in.
This whole video was essentially him finding comments to back up his own opinion. "It looks like a lot of people think..."
Yeah, well what do the review scores, sales, user scores, and completion rates on the last two say? Anything on that?
People won’t like it I know but he’s entitled to his opinion being the games creator
I totally disagree but it’s not going to ruin the game for us who do like it
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
Totally cool look back on the series.
Great read, TM always got the cold shoulder in Europe so I missed the earlier titles.
I'm so excited for Twisted Metal on PS3. You know it's going to be fun to play, and the multi-player is probably going to be the best since LittleBigPlanet. Guns + explosions + cars = YES, PLEASE!
The first game in this series I ever played was Twisted Metal 2. I just remember it being really HARD to my 7 year-old self.
I don't agree with everything but, overall that was a great retrospective. I was gonna play some PS3 games today but, now I just feel like playing some good old Twisted Metal.
