New Twisted Metal game in development

[Viper86]

Well, this really isn't a surprise. There was a message hidden within the PS2 version of Head-On about Eat Sleep Play's next game. Gamers have cracked the code and the message said something like "Metal is coming on PSThree. Apparently David Jaffe has also confirmed that there is a Twisted Metal game coming to the PS3. Yet another good reason to own a PS3.

Now this is what the Ps3 needs... Now I ask, will this be an online only downloadable PSN game, or a full (SP/MP) kick ass Ps3 game? When will it come out, This year or Next year?

They just started on it. So it probably won't be out until late 2009 or 2010. Jaffe wouldn't comment on whether it would be a PSN or retail title.

Sony needs to learn that is one of their problems = They don't give out the info people need for excitement as it could become a letdown, if it's PSN DLC Online only.

I’m looking at you Warhawk. I would have loved a single player in Ps3's Warhawk = I loved the first on the Ps1.

There was going to be a SP campaign in Warhawk. Apparently there were differences in ideas when it came to the direction of the SP. So they just decided to scrap it all together.

That's where I question why - Was it developer difficulties to bring the game out on time, so they ditched the single player portion? I have noticed many exclusive Ps3 games have either/or on SP/MP while very few have both.

The reason I believe is that it takes far too long, or costly to make a game that has SP & MP on the Ps3 - Multiconsole Games like COD4 did it, but I remember them stating that they put a lot more resources (people) into the Ps3 version to get it up to snuff while games like Uncharted/Ratchet/Heavenly Sword are doing all they can to show off the Ps3 & that taxes the developer to not incorporate online options in those games. Resistance also did it, but it was a launch game that a big development house concentrated all their efforts on for a few years. It just feels that they are taking way too long to make SP & MP in Ps3 games compared to the 360’s games. I remember the N64 getting good releases far & few between & the Ps3 feels that way.

I picked it up today myself. $20 cant get much lower than that.

it's a great game, but the last combo of Dark Tooth and Tower Tooth is hard.
