David Jaffe Loses Mind Over PSN's Stability

"When Twisted Metal was revealed during Sony's E3 2010 Press Conference by the one and only, David Jaffe, the gaming industry erupted in excitement as the franchise that birthed its own genre with vehicular combat was set to make a return on the PlayStation 3. After 20 months of anticipation for Twisted Metal’s debut on the PlayStation 3, many early adopters have run into complications while attempting to wreak havoc online."

PSN has worked just fine with the games i played on it. No problems with warhawk, uncharted 2, killzone games, or really anything besides Playstation home. I hope he finds a way to work things out.

rdgneoz35192d ago

I think they have fixed things pretty much. I know at the start it was taking me like several minutes to actually get into a game, and part of the time you'd have an afk host not even starting it. Now I'm getting into pretty much every game, with a tenth of the network errors I use to get. Still getting the game freeing issue once in a while though.

Larry L5192d ago

Well based on his judging skills in the past episode of The Tester, maybe all his testers for the new Twisted Metal all gave him their bug/glitch reports in spanish even though he doesn't speak spanish himself. He seems to think that would be perfectly acceptable when good communication is absolutely key when fixing software issues. But what do I know, I'm only a lowly gamer.

But the fact is, if Killzone 2's online was completely flawless in terms of connection stability, hit detection and all that other good stuff, while keeping Killzone 2's visual quality, while running all those animations, and displaying all those particle effects.......in 2009.............but Twisted Metal's online isn't flawless while not having to keep track of NEARLY the amount of player data and game data..........that's obviously an issue on the developer/software side, not network or hardware side.

LiquifiedArt5192d ago

This is poorly reported.

Twisted Metal Online mode has ZERO to do with PSN.
Each developer implements their own Online framework.
Blame Eat Sleep Play not Sony, who funded the game.

Come on guys, all you internet gamers need to grow up and learn about real-world development.

Uhhh did you hear what David Jaffe said 2 videos ago? He said it is Sony's part, the developers already done their part!!!! Why everybody giving this guy agrees like he knows what he is talking about? No dude you grow up. The fact of the matter is this shouldn't happen at launch!!! Its going to look bad if these issue still are not fix, cause games like Mass Effect 3, SSX, Syndicate, Binary Domain, and even Street Fighter X Tekken, could all have better online play.

Wow cyberpunk is a great pick up. If you haven’t played it you should definitely give it a try

Christopher305d ago

Banishers was dragged down by the need to go back to old areas multiple times.

GhostScholar306d ago

Also if you bought it at launch and couldn’t deal with all the bugs it’s a totally different game now

stupidusername305d ago

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.

darthv72306d ago

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...

dveio306d ago (Edited 306d ago )

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.

DivineHand125306d ago

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.

yeastori306d ago

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.

shinXseijuro306d ago

Might give cyberpunk a chance now that the game redeemed itself . Is it only the basic game or with the newer content ?

xHeavYx306d ago

According to the article, it's just the base game, but the DLC will be 30% off

TM3 is my favorite but I'll take what they bring out gladly. Fun times back in the day and great soundtracks

Cacabunga588d ago

Last one on ps4 wasn’t good at all.
Hoping for some good reboot or remake of the first 3

Dagexon587d ago

You mean the one on ps3?

Cacabunga587d ago

Yes i do, thanks! I realized too late couldn’t edit

badboyz09588d ago (Edited 588d ago )

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.

InUrFoxHole588d ago

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

TiredGamer588d ago (Edited 588d ago )

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.

InUrFoxHole588d ago

Lol, nice! I remember having the tiger handheld or watch..

FinalFantasyFanatic587d ago

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.

UltimateOwnage588d ago

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.

Snookies12587d ago

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.
