Jaffe's blog indicates that his latest project, which he himself confirmed to be a Twisted Metal Project for the PS3, and was later re-confirmed in a cryptic message in their first project 'Twisted Metal: Head On' for the PS2, is supposedly in "the crunch" for a "Sony Dog and Pony" showing next week. That just so happens to coincide with the Leipzig Games Convention.
Jaffe writes, "I figured I'd share a bit of what's up with the work on my end. Out in Utah I know the team is scrambling to get a nice, sexy build of the game going for a Sony Dog and Pony next week. While I am sure I would drive some of them crazy if I was out there everyday- and the very successful, very functional alliance we've forged over the last 12 years would prob. not work with daily,real life connection- it's times like these I WISH I was out there, so I could help with the crunch. Ah well, I can always hop a flight :)"
Of course this is still a rumor and it could be an internal presentation rather than a public one, but the choice of words here leads me to speculate that we may see our first glimpse of Twisted Metal very, very soon.
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
I have faith in David Jaffe,unlike Dennis Dyack,Jaffe will deliver a AAA Gaming experience http://dyackflop.ytmnd.com/
Nice. Can't wait to see what he and his team have been working on. I personally hope for something new. I doubt we will ever have something as great as GOW again. Since he now runs independent studio, i don't see them having the resources for that
a nex gen twisted metal would be so fly on the ps3 man. i use to love twisted metal back in the day, i always use to be the green monster truck, i think his name was HAMMER or something. ah man.... i love my ps3... : D
I'm A Stupid Xbot, nobody makes better action car games as good as the Twisted Metal Series.
i heard that this game has a huge fan base? can someone tell me what this game meant to ps3. last time jaffe wants o make a shooter and he told an interview that the scale would be like of GOW and FACTOR 5 want also wants to make shooter any heads up?
thanx
