In the mid-’90s, David Jaffe gave gamers one of the first must-have titles for the original PlayStation. Twisted Metal had personality oozing out of every pore, and backed up its wicked sense of humor with fantastic car combat gameplay. Its sequel improved upon everything that was beloved about the original, but a switch in developers caused the rest of the PSone titles to be mere shadows of their former selves. Jaffe brought the series back to the quality it had once seen with the PS2’s Twisted Metal: Black, but the series has been dormant since its 2001 release (outside of a PSP title and subsequent PS2 port). At E3 this year, Sony sent the message loud and clear: Twisted Metal is back.
Twisted Metal is getting an interesting promotion at San Diego Comic-Con.
Cyberpunk 2077, Abiotic Factor, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden and more
Twisted Metal 3 and 4 join PlayStation Plus Premium.
Wow cyberpunk is a great pick up. If you haven’t played it you should definitely give it a try
Also if you bought it at launch and couldn’t deal with all the bugs it’s a totally different game now
Played it on release and thought it was a mess. But I'm currently playing it again now on both PS5 and Switch 2 with cross save progression, and it's really different to how I remember it. Really enjoying it now, and it's really polished and immersive.
Despite owning the 2077 One X console and the steelbook edition of the game... i still have never played it. I may actually give 2077 a try (via the portal) as there has been so much talk about it again, thanks to SW2 and now this comparison vid from DF. https://youtu.be/SvGQik3m6a...
I think it's an okay decision or happening.
iirc, wasn't there even a new and probably last update coming soon announced recently?
I've never played 2077, neither. (I am still a bit mad about their ... well, anyway.)
But I think it can't get better to play that game, or any game for that matter, in a 100% complete, fully updated build.
Cyberpunk and Risk of rain 2 are the best of the bunch. Not a bad month if you are one of the few that haven't played those games.
Cyberpunk is probably one of the best games I've ever played, even when it came out with all the bugs and glitches and broken gameplay on consoles, I still loved it at its core because the world was exactly what I wanted in a dystopian vision of the real future and the story was actually well done and compelling. With the fixes and then Phantom Liberty I just knew that this game could've been GOTY winner if it hadn't been released too early and released on PS5. XBX and two years later.
Might give cyberpunk a chance now that the game redeemed itself . Is it only the basic game or with the newer content ?
Will PlayStation bring back some classic Twisted Metal games?
TM3 is my favorite but I'll take what they bring out gladly. Fun times back in the day and great soundtracks
Last one on ps4 wasn’t good at all.
Hoping for some good reboot or remake of the first 3
Lego 2K Drive features an exciting mode called Brick Brawl, inspired by Twisted Metal. Players can create, share, and upload various cars, including ones like Sweet Tooth. The game boasts thousands of custom cars, ranging from the Batmobile to the Sweet Tooth ice cream truck.
Never understood the like for the series. Not my bag but I know a lot of gamers are clamoring for a new game and liked the TV. Series
TM1 and 2 are time period classics. They were a bit rough, ugly, and grungy, but they felt right during the time period they were released and they scratched that early console “death match” itch before FPS games would completely swallow that market.
Many great memories with friends playing couch co-op and 1v1. Short, and quick-and-dirty gameplay that we returned to over and over. I’d buy a remake or proper remastering of the first two games day one.
I played those so much as I kid, I bought the Twisted Metal games that were on PSN as Playstation Classics, wow, they feel clunky by today's standards, they could really use the remake/remaster treatment.
Twisted Metal: Black is when the series really hit for me. I still love that game so much. It was kind of downhill for the series after that IMO. I'd love to see the series go back to its roots, but I don't hold out a lot of hope for David Jaffe coming back from where he is these days to oversee development of a competent sequel.
Black was the pinnacle in my opinion. I adored TM1 and TM2, for sure. But Black brought it to a whole new level of awesome.
Read this as soon as I got the magazine.
I'm so excited for TM!!!
Let's Twist Sum Metal!
