Jaffe getting twisted? photo

The point of posting clandestine information on the internet with the parts you don't want people to read is lost on me entirely. When you post something like that, as David Jaffe did on his blog, you're basically asking for someone to figure out what you're trying to hide. After an enterprising internet user did some photoshopping and unblurred the words that Jaffe had covered up in an email correspondence he posted on his blog, Jaffe then went ahead and covered the words in red, and then took the whole thing down because he realized it was pointless to put up in the first place and was only asking for trouble.

However, trouble had already found Mr. Jaffe as the world now knows that his next game will have cars... and humans... and they may, you know, go together. The unblurred email revealed Jaffe discussing such things as "dragging him behind your car" and "when he is launched out of a car." Who is getting launched out of what? Why "human characters" of course, and they need some work because "right now it's so dry, it needs to feel like an action movie."

Could this be a sign that the new Twisted Metal is heading our way soon? It's tough to say. The series has never really human heavy, and making it like an action movie sounds cool, but also doesn't seem to quite fit with the Twisted Metal universe. What then could it be? According to the email we may be finding out at E3, as it states that an important milestone is coming up.

He fails for using 'cause' as a shortened version of 'because'.

I hate that.

It's most likely the next Twisted Metal, which was even hinted at in Head On. I hope it brings back the re-make magic of Black, and is online to boot.

I knew this was going to happen when I saw him post it. Still, it's not like we're breaking any world exclusives. The PS2 port of Head-On pretty much confirmed this as a fact.

I'm pretty sure I saw in an interview with Jaffe that he was interested in re-making TM2. Can anyone confirm?

Near the end of the video Jaffe gives his opinion on Black and TM2.

That's the closest thing I can remember to him saying anything about a remake.

Anybody think could be a well-calculated "viral" type PR move from the start? Or am I just being paranoid?

Twisted Metal games, it's been a long time since a played a good one. TCM 1 & 2 were the only good games in the series. However Twisted Metal Black was a great game that was awesome and dark. A shame that the game wasn't a "true" Twisted Metal game. Does this letter mean we'll be getting Twisted Metal 5?

It's just your conspiratorial mind. I highly doubt Jaffe wouldn't do anything like like that.

That's because you're a bad person who should feel bad.

@Zero: Who knows, viral videos are starting to appear more and more often than they used to. Maybe.

I was hoping for Mario Kart: Kartocalypse...mixing the destruction of Twisted Metal with Mario Kart. Can you imagine, you hit someone with a red turtle shell, and then they grab your kart as they go rolling off the track, and you slam them into a waiting piranha plant. Nice stuff. Yeah, my imagination just took off.

Anyhow, Twisted Metal? This could be interesting. I wouldn't mind seeing this.

He fails for blurring the words instead of covering them.

DEAR GOD! I am missing a GOOD car combat game this gen! I NEED this game! I honestly cannot stress how much I want a twisted metal game to play on my PS3. I want a twisted metal black 2. I loved black, it was fucking phenominal. Please Jaffe if you make a twisted metal game please make it in the similar style of BLACK PLEASE JAFFE PLEASE!

This really isn't a surprise at all. There was an Easter egg in Twisted Metal: Head-On for the PS2 that said this game was coming.
