Thank fuck.
I'm sick of all adult media being nerfed to get kids pennies.
And anyway, its not like its illegal for kids to buy it in the USA anyway. Lol

I swear if this game gets stuck in the shadow of Call Of Battlefield Warfare 3 this fall, I'll quit gaming altogether. Maybe catch up on my book backlog.
Um it is illegal for kids to buy it in the USA, they can't buy M rated games without consent from the parent/s. If a store sells an M rated game to a kid without their guardian present, they get in trouble. The kid gets off scot-free, but it's still illegal.
You know, I kinda feel like this franchise no longer has a purpose and that's why its content aimed for an M rating - for attention and not much else.
Its not going to get it anyway with the holiday lineup its facing. This series peaked on the PSX and was better off left behind.

Great news I think. I lost a bit of faith in the game when I found out they were aiming for T. This game needs to be as badass as possible.
@Squishy3: Um, not quite. The store will get in trouble, yes... but they will get in trouble from the ESRB. That is wholly different from the sale of the game being a criminal offense. It is in no way illegal, it is just regulated by the industry itself.
@Squishy3 - Don't watch the news much, do you? That "law" was deemed unconstitutional in the US. You know, since it was a law trying to control and regulate a form of speech, which is not the state or federal government's job to do.
That regulation falls on the employer to the employee and the decision lies with the parent, as it should be. If I go to work and I sell an M rated game to a minor and my employer finds out from a parent that wasn't asked - I get FIRED.
I think that's effective self-regulation, don't you? I don't think fines or nanny-state laws are needed in the face of potentially losing your job.

thank fuck indeed! im so glad this went retail instead of downloadable. this and saints row 3 are key games for me this year.
Meh...alrighty then. I wouldn't have thought it would have been that big a deal. I don't come to Twisted Metal for bloody cut scenes. I come to launch a guy strapped head to toe with explosives from my car, into a pile of other cars, to blow them all to hell!
Can't wait to get back to it!!

To me, the Twisted Metal series has always been about darkness, even the so called, "comic-y" Twisted Metal 2, it was still dark. Come on, the game is about psychopaths and murderers. It has always been dark but still comedic in a way, a teen rating just wouldnt cut it, look at when MK went teen, was crap. Glad to see it is M, still I want it more like Black, haha.
anybody else thinks this change of heart is due to the supreme court's ruling on the matter of M rated games?
It's not like parents ain't buy this for their eight year old kids anyways. I say bring on the gore baby!!
Not surprising, seeing as their earliest demos had suicide bombers on gurneys. Yeah. That sounds T-rated.
Seriously, fountains of blood and gore are so played-out and over-done these days. How can anyone still be excited for that stuff?
and still nobody except all those 10 Twisted Metal fans care. they should keep it as 15-20$ PSN title, but Sony probably wanted to squeeze another 40$ for free from their customers.
Might want to say that the quote at the bottom is from the last article where they were trying to keep the teen rating.
Otherwise it looks like you've contradicted yourself by adding that quote.

"There’s the 8 o’clock CBS serial killer, and then there’s the HBO serial killer," he said at the time. [bold]"We’re doing the 8 o’clock CBS serial killer.”[/bold]
Twisted Metal, [bold]now an HBO serial killer with its M-rating[/bold], hits shelves on October 4.
I'm confused is this some sort of typo? :I

@PirateGuy:
Keywords here are "he said at the time," meaning at E3 2010, when the game was scheduled to get a T-rating.

And the troll returns, but come on sofik, you can troll better than that. Jimmyx has claimed the supreme 360 troll award, are you just going to sit there and let him have it?
LOL @sofik we see through your jealousy.. Aren't there any good 360 game articles you can comment on? "Oh Wait" never mind...
Seriously though, I'm really looking forward to this. It will be nice to play a shooter that's "A bit" different for a change.

RockOnRapOFF: Dude i've been around since C64. ABACABB was the shit. But now, meh, I really don't care.
This game is gonna be awesome, I'm going to buy 2 copies. Sweet Tooth will destroy Master chief. 360 is poo-poo.
My love for this franchise goes back to the PS1. After having the IMMENSE pleasure of playing competetive MP at Comic Con I will go so far as to say all old skool fans will LOVE IT!! I didn't even notice the lack of blood until I read this article. The controls felt outstanding and I was pleasantly surprised as I actually jumped out ahead in my group......until the kids figured out how to play, lol.
This hardcore Twisted Metal fan can't wait to add the newest incarnation to my shelf along with my copies of TM1,2,3, Head-On and Black. Well done, Jaffe and crew. This is a Day 1 purchase for me now.

Does this mean Twisted Metal will feature Julie Benz and Julia Stiles tits? If so, the game may actually be worth more than a rent, now.
