E3 10: New Twisted Metal revealed for the PS3 photo

Sony unveiled a ton of new info on Twisted Metal at this year's E3 press conference, and let me tell you, the sheer amount of screens and new footage we saw was overwhelming -- it was tough to keep up! I had to stop bitching about not having seen The Last Guardian for almost five minutes. What is that crap about?

Oh yeah, I was talking about something. Heh. So what do we get with the new Twisted Metal? Quite a bit apparently. Up to 16 players online, 2-4 player split-screen online, and flight combat added for the first time. We also witnessed a dude hurling a chainsaw while riding a motorcycle, which is possibly the manliest and most badass thing I have ever witnessed. Today, anyway.

It'll be launched in 2011, but we'll have much more info for you once we get our mitts on it on the show floor. Do want?

No thanks.

All I wanted from Sony was two things: GT5 release date and a HD remake of ico and Shadow. I got only one of those two.

The Sony Keynote was pretty dull and twisted metal didn't change things.

@SR388: They already announced the HD remake of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. They did the same w/ Sly Cooper, though that was actually featured.

I agree in that there was too much focus on the PS Move. Not as good as Nintendo, but much better than Microsoft.

Woooohoooooo! Sony gave me everything I wanted this year (and a few surprises -- portal 2!!). I'm so happy today. The multi looks amazing, especially that Nuke mode -- man that looked like one of those games you could jump online with and loose half a day!

Yeahhh! This totally caught me off-guard, but it's great news. I was really holding out for an Ico/SoC HD remake though... :/

@ hardock spiffy

take your own advice and try not to say dickish things in every post. Maybe every other? I think we'd all appreciate it.

This was one of the coolest things Sony showed, and although recent plan-changes have prevented me from getting a PS3 anytime soon, I hope to get one before the end of the year.

hardock spiffy seems to be a bigger asshole then Patriot Snake was, and he only pretended.

I can dig it. I always did like Twisted Metal. It looks alot like...Twisted Metal. Probably pretty early stuff, but I think I would still take it as it is.
That guy dressed up, though. That wasn't so neccessary.

well, let me be the first to say this. FAIL. Seriously, the deathmatch capture the flag whatever the crap you call it mode is way too complicated and is going to really piss off gamers. First, you have to drive around the city, then you have to capture the leader, then drag him around for a while, then hold him in a circle, then throw him into a giant rocket launcher, then control the rocket. oh, the best part, REPEAT, like the Leader never died. This is just ignorant and a little bit too much for one task. I enjoyed the first twisted metal and twisted metal 2. The rest, the stories were awful. Don't get me wrong, that I think it looks cool and I think the 16 player multiplayer experience would be rad in a DEATH MATCH, but this team based whatever abortion they showed totally made me lose a boner for this game.

AWESOME!

Also, some people are still angry about their favorite poncho-loving console maker's epic failure at E3 this year. Shame, really...

It looks like you'll be controlling characters independent from their vehicles, like an open world game.

Lol @ Hardock Spiffy.

'Bout time! Multiplayer sounds like it's going to be awesome. What's with games lately having online multiplayer but no split-screen? Glad Twisted Metal is not doing that.

Wow it looks like a fail IMO. Certainly not the Twisted Metal 2 that I played and loved as a kid.
