Why Twisted Metal PS3 Is Important

42
Psxextreme: I remember first seeing the original Twisted Metal on my friend's PlayStation way back when, and I distinctly recall the words that spilled from my mouth: "holy crap, what is this?!" Then I fell in love all over again with Twisted Metal 2 - still one of my favorite games ever, and I still play it - and I knew right then I'd be a TM fan for life. ...or so I thought. 989 Studios took over for TM3 and TM4, both of which were colossal disappointments in my opinion, and I gave the franchise up for lost. Then, Jaffe and the boys returned for Twisted Metal: Black on the PS2, which instantly resurrected my faith.

I so want this game.I still have memories playing the first one on ps1.I can only imagine how a next gen twisted meta will look, for its time back then twisted metal was a graphic power house on ps1.

I'd be lying if say I'm excited for this. Twisted Metal 2 was the best. I remember back in the day my friend coming to my house Saturday mornings to play PlayStation with me at my house and man TW2 was def. one of the games we loved. After TW2, the rest were all garbage though Twisted Metal Black was not horrible. I'll give Twisted Metal one more chance on PS3, if it's no good, just let the series die already.

if they do not make this game for the ps3 they would be making the biggest loss you could ever make. this was the best game out i dont care if you hated all ever other tm than tm2 and black. this was the best bang for you buck and the endings and story was the best. now if they made it were you could customize your car and caracter and go online. that would be the best selling point other than the sp. gladly pay any amount of money to play this game

1.7 - Twisted Metal was and is still the best "car"nage game around.
Now, telling that I have to say that a new TM would get me a bit happy in the pants and would be a day one purchase for me.

On a side note, another game I loved around that time was Loaded. Am I alone in wishing that Sony would release Loaded on the PSN or at least do an HD remake of that game? Man, Cap N' Hands was the shizzle!

3 - It important
because its a proven franchise that will get more PS1 and PS2 owners especially to migrate. People should never underestimate the selling power of proven franchise. SOCOM conv for example despite its issues sold very well in NA.

Absolutely. A PS3 version of Twisted Metal would cause and make heads turn. For such a fantastic franchise back in the day, Its shortcomings then are what I don't see as an obstacle by today's standards. PS3 has the best original IP's however going by an old and trust TM franchise might kick in the spurs. I agree with the article completely. That mushroom cloud poster got me excited the first time I saw it even though it was never confirmed I believe.

Twisted Metal Black was my favorite. The only reason why I didn't buy Twisted Metal Head On for the PS2 is because it just didn't have the same "dark" and "gritty" look/feel that TM: Black had, and Head On just seemed a lot more cartoony to me.

And I did actually like Twisted Metal 3 even though so many people seemed to hate it... Twisted Metal 4 for me was "o.k." but it's probably my least favorite in the series, however, I loved using Calypso's special attack in TM4... shooting that huge Nuke Missle off the back of his truck and detonating it was so awesome.

To compete with Twisted Metal on PS3, I want Activision to come out with another Vigilante 8 game because a sequel to Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense is LONG overdue and the Vigilante 8 series is yet another one of my favorite car combat games that I want to see come back.

the 'twisted' endings. To me, that's what made the game so satisfying to beat.

Twisted Metal 2 was my fav. I love Twister (except the fact the car can't take much damage, but ti's soooo fast). The tornado special plus super speed = own.

I loved Twisted Metal, but when Vigilante 8 came out that totally blew my mind.

Seriously, I wish there was an air of nostalgia with the wide variety of genres we had back then in the days of PS1 and early PS2. In my opinion, it seems that genres are becoming narrow and expected. Remember the feeling of playing Tony Hawk or SSX for the first time? Remember being a stealthy ninja plotting assassinations in Tenchu? Remember Loading in Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver for the first time? I seriously miss games like Lunar, Battle Arena Toshinden, PaRappa the Rappa... I mean I can just go on and on.

Even crappy games like ESPN 2Xtreme, I'm not going to lie, I played that like all the time!

Those games where the flesh of gaming back in the day. This gen were seeing bones in the years to come when development costs are not as steep we will see the flesh.

Seriously? That revived it for me...

I loved TM 1 & 2. 3 & 4 blew and Black was good...but freakin' HARD! TM:HO was a great addition to the series, I thought.

BTW...did anyone play the lost levels from Twisted Metal Black 2? They were on Twisted Metal: Head On (Extra Twisted Edition). THEY WERE INCREDIBLE!!!

If this indeed true I might start looking into getting a used ps3. Whatever I can do to make it as cheap as possible. prolly end up trading my laptop for one.

FF7 is my all time favorite game but it doesn't hold a candle to the amount of time I put into twisted metal 2 with my brother and friends.

We should start a petition and DEMAND sony make a new Twisted Metal!!
I say we all get together and protest in Home! lol but seriously, Twisted Metal Black was so awesome. Hell id be happy if they just did a remake of Twisted Metal black with updated graphics and add a killer robust online multiplayer.. PLEASE MAKE A NEW TWISTED METAL!! This gen is in dire need of a good, solid car combat game with good online multiplayer.

I would love to see a next gen Twisted Metal. Release this gem and I will surely buy a ps3. I'm pretty surprised that nothing has been released yet considering it was one of the main franchises of Sony.

21 - TM2 And TM Black
are all time classics. TM3 was good too, the entire soundtrack was Rob Zombie, which was perfect for the series. Heavy Metal over Heavy Carnage works.
