Eat Sleep Play’s has issued a statement regarding G4TV’s Twisted Metal review and the reviewer’s response (which has since been deleted) towards the negative fan criticisms of the article.
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.
Terri writes: "In a recent video released by the creator of the God of War series, David Jaffe, we can see that Jaffe is not fond of the direction PlayStation took regarding the franchise, and in particular, Kratos himself."
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
After reading the article I don't trust the g4 reviewer or respect his score. He basically thinks the game is crap before reviewing because its an old ip from years ago. I wonder how he would review Mario, zelda ,or final fantasy, or metal gear 5
Geezzz fans cry so much..
I don't think their opinions are gonna count for much now because no matter how much you don't like something, you DON'T send idiot coments for G4, this just proves that their brains are still in the age of the cavemen.. sigh -__-
I only respect adam sessler there..
For those curious, this is where the reviewer shot himself in the foot:
"Much as we all like to jump aboard the nostalgic retro train the simple fact is this: games are better now. Technology and design have come a long way, and I'm sick to death of developers (particularly those from the 90's) who feel content to just shove out the same old crap they always did. It's a particular issue I have with most of the AAA-shooter houses from the 90's. And they don't like me much either."
That reveals he has, as Jaffe put it "an agenda". He was predisposed to dislike this game, yet reviewed it anyway. That's a problem.
