Twisted Metal Multiplayer Hands On: Jaffe’s Last Laugh

After Twisted Metal made its bombastic debut nearly a year ago at the E3 PlayStation press conference, developer Eat Sleep Play promptly descended into a self-imposed near-silence. Now that Twisted Metal has finally emerged from its shadowy confines — headlights gleaming like accusing eyes, an angry puff of steam boiling from its cracked radiator grille — it’s clear that David Jaffe, Scott Campbell and the boys have been busy. Really busy. Even in its early pre-release state, the PS3 rebirth of PlayStation’s longest-running series plays true to form — it’s fast, ferocious, and fun. Underneath the glistening new HD graphics, blistering frame rate and overhauled combat system lies the vehicular equivalent of Mortal Kombat…that is, if Mortal Kombat included 16-player online battles waged with helicopters and nukes and psychotic clowns driving semi trucks and God knows what else.

Looks Good and Nasty.

I think the presentation is veering into a kind of weird yet unique direction, but the game is really all I care about and it looks to kick ***.

Agreed. The art direction is of little consequence for me. As long as the gameplay is like TM games of old, I will be very happy.

This was one of the first Multiplayer games that really had me addicted.

I really wish this game was coming to the 360, would have defiantly picked this up on the 1st day.

Re: Twisted Metal (PS3)

This game looks so amazing! The thing that it has going for it is the amount of hectic activity there is. I can't wait till this comes out!

Twisted Metal delayed until 2012

PlayStation 3 car combat revival Twisted Metal has been pushed back from its planned October launch to "early 2012", Eat Sleep Play co-founder David Jaffe has announced.

According to a post from the big man over on the PlayStation Blog, publisher Sony has graciously given the developer "the extra time needed to polish our demented baby until it shines."

"There's a great, classic industry saying by legendary Nintendo designer – and personal hero – Shigeru Miyamoto," Jaffe added, "that goes a little something like this: 'A late game is only late until it ships. A bad game is bad until the end of time.'

"Now, if we shipped Twisted Metal tomorrow – going off the response from folks who have played it – I assure you, it would never be a bad game. Not even close. But we're aiming for a heck of a lot more than that!

"With Twisted Metal we plan to ship a multiplayer classic. We plan to ship the best Twisted Metal ever made. We plan to convert a lot of folks who think vehicle combat is a relic best left to '90s nostalgia. And we plan to explode the belief that the only relevant kind of shooter is a first person one.

"Most importantly, we plan on treating you – the kind folks who play our game (and pay our bills) – like the VIPs that you are. You only deserve our best and we appreciate your understanding as we take a little more time to guarantee that our best is what we deliver."

Re: Twisted Metal (PS3)

Honestly I say good, the next couple of months are absolutely stuffed with great games so might as well let this one cook a little longer. There are 16, 14 and 11 games I want to play coming out in September, October and November respectively.

I agree as I have enough games lined up for the fall and winter plus it's never a bad thing to delay a game if it's not quite ready.

Re: Twisted Metal (PS3)

Fine by me. I just wish there was a B2G1F in March though, so I could snag this, SSX, and MLB 12: The Show all at once. Now it looks like I won't have a reason to go to TRU in October for three games anymore.

Re: Twisted Metal (PS3)

That's fiine I have plenty of games to play this fall.
