PlayStation confirm they are working on Twisted Metal series

The rumours were legit. The Twisted Metal franchise is coming back, Sony
officially announced at CES 2022.

[NecrumOddBoy]

I hope this is camp as all hell.

[bouzebbal]

They should have made Destruction All star with a Twisted Metal skin as launch title.. With some more content of course.

[NecrumOddBoy]

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.

[Dirtnapstor]

Agreed. I am mildly surprised they did not do a Twisted Metal iteration vs DAS. Could have easily reskinned everything, no?

[sourOG]

Agreed. I’m playing serious Sam now and I think it’s awful in a great way. I’m enjoying it.

[Majin-vegeta]

Looks like the new game is pretty much confirmed now.

[PhillyDillyDee]

How can you be sure?

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.

[Army_of_Darkness]

Sony owns the franchise and Jaffe is no longer associated with them anymore, so Sony doesn't have to inform him on anything really...

[NapalmSanctuary]

...says f2p with Lucid developing. Might wanna keep them expectations low.

[isarai]

I hope it follows the gameplay style of hardware rivals, seriously that game was awesome to play

[Godmars290]

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.

[DarXyde]

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.

[Godmars290]

@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.

[NapalmSanctuary]

@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.

[--Onilink--]

The only thing confirmed by Sony so far was a TV series, not a game

[purple101]

Another day, another Sony BOMB

[CyberSentinel]

Day one for me.

[--Onilink--]

Its a TV series…

[CyberSentinel]

In that case, I’ll pass.

[Neonridr]

that's great, looking forward to some next gen destruction!

[TheDoomedGuy]

Imagine how it'll feel with the dual sense.

[CS7]

Cross gen*

Lol

[--Onilink--]

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

[fitofficial]

Maybe unpopular, but I hope Jaffe has nothing to do with it. His design methodology is so outdated.

[LucasRuinedChildhood]

Drawn to Death was a disaster and the previous TM wasn't amazing ... but I still think it would be worth getting his input.

I feel like the last Twisted Metal just didn't have a big enough budget.

[The Wood]

IF they said Motorstorm was also in the works ........ (squirt squirt)

[Yi-Long]

I wish, but sadly they killed the studio that made those games.

[jznrpg]

Twisted Metal studios were shut down too. But now we are getting a Twisted Metal

[The Wood]

IP safe and usable

[dbcoops]

That doesn't prevent a new game from being made by a new Sony in house studio if they own the IP.

[Muigi]

Squirtle that you?

[spambot0815]

developed for vr hopefully

[Magog]

I always said Destruction Allstars was a mistake and they should have combined vehicular and on foot combat for a Twisted Metal reboot.

[blacktiger]

Now that's Nuclear bomb I was waiting for :D

[TheDoomedGuy]

Now this is my type of racing/car game. I LOVE VEHICLE DESTRUCTION. Loved burnout because of that as well. Can't wait to see more.

[PhillyDillyDee]

Fingers crossed for some level of soft body physics usage.

[AzhmirGTA]

My inner childhood screamed inside of me! I can’t wait. This is the true bomb for me in the event :P

[FanboysKiller]

Killzone should be brought back and I don't wanna hear an old trend from the 90s from anyone, the series still holdup in today's standards.

[moriarty1889]

Yes a new Killzone AND bring back Resistance now that they have Insomniac under their belt. A no brainer.

[CaptainHenry916]

I think this is supposed to be a free online multi-player

[jznrpg]

It’s possible but we have heard absolutely nothing on it besides it’s being made . It could be a remake , remasters , online game , new ip who knows

[moriarty1889]

GREAT news!

[darkrider]

Keep the games rooling, rooling, rooling

[Hofstaderman]

Yes, the return of Sweet Tooth

[ActualWhiteMan]

About damn time.

[thesoftware730]

Twisted Metal Black was my favorite. So much fun and each story was campy and brutal.

[z2g]

hmmm. not at the top of my excitement list but im sure it will be fun.

[ZelTroidVania]

Best news I've heard all day.

[chicken_in_the_corn]

Please be a new game

[Juancho51]

Man, when they remade it for PS3 I thought was the only one that was excited. This is one of the few destruction games I remember playing when I was younger and it was fucking BANANAS!!!!! The remake didn't really capture the same feeling, but it was FUN!

[SullysCigar]

I'll take some TM! Can I have a PSVR2 option please!

[filchron]

They should make it Next gen exclusive and really push the Graphics aspect in 1080p-1440p. I Don’t have a PS5 yet but it would raise PS5 adoption even further if it had games you couldn’t get on PS4.

[frostypants]

YEEEEES!!!! Four player local splitscreen too, please.

[WeAreLegion]

It's a TV show. Can you guys read?

[boing1]

Allstars is pretty good for how shallow the gameplay actually is. This dev should do a good job with TM.

[CrimsonWing69]

I guess, yay? I had fun with them back on PS1, but I dunno… not really my cup o’ tea.

[rapidturtle]

I'd rather see a new KillZone.

[HeliosHex]

They have their work cut out for them. This franchise was always mediocre to me with its poor story, poor controls, poor premise, and bland characters and graphics. Arena vehicle combat was never my thing but I always thought this series had potential. I hope they truly modernize it but somehow I think it will be more of the same with a fresh coat of paint.

[savedsynner]

YES!!!! The PS3 TM was really good and there is a good deal of meat still on this bone. Plus all the nostalgia vibes played TM2 on the PS1.
