Twisted Metal has always been a game that I've showered with fondness. The core concept of car-on-car deathmatch sprinkled with fun, dark character stories just tickles my fancy until my poor little fancy pees itself.

The gameplay was one thing, but the characters were a whole different story. I loved seeing each game add new characters, while updating seasoned veterans (of course, I'm excluding Twisted Metal 3, 4, and Small Brawl...yeesh).

When the new Twisted Metal was announced, I was excited. Twisted Metal Black was incredible, and I had a lot of fun with Twisted Metal: Head On (applydirectlytotheforehead). Buuuuuuuuut, as more and more is being revealed about the game, I'm getting less and less excited.

Here's the current rumored roster:

Sweet Tooth

Well duh, this one's a no brainer. This guy will be in any TM game, without a doubt.

Mr. Grimm

Ahhh, motorcycles and sickles...the best combination since cocaine and kiddie pools...eghghgm, I mean peanut butter and chocolate. :D

Dollface

She was a personal favorite of mine from Twisted Metal: Black. There's just something awesome about a little girl in a fatass truck.

And?

...

AND?!

...

That's it?

Well shit. Yep, the rumor is that there will only be three playable characters in this current gen Twisted Metal. Granted, this psychotic threesome will be able to pilot any car of their choosing, but still... I'm going to miss the ragtag cast of misfits that I've known to love from the TM games.

At least there's Calpyso to look forward to, right Dave Jaffe?

...please? :[
