Yes, David Jaffe is involved in this project, since he did the first two Twisted Metals on PS1 and reviving it subtitled Black on PS2. Unfortunately I heard the online update for TM:B in 2002 was very disappointing, so I hope Eat Sleep Play can handle the online environment given the 16-player limit.

Pre-order bonus is getting a playable character named Axel one month early.

I think i convinced my older brother to possibly buy this game. We love the Twisted Metal series, i actually have never played the original Twisted Metal (maybe once, but i don't remember), but i surely remember playing TM2 World Tour, TM3, TM4, TM:B, and TM: Head On. Never played TM: Small Brawl neither the TM: Head On GOLD Edition.

TM: Black was my favorite in the series, but I heard the online expansion was disappointing and tacked-on at the last minute, as mentioned in my first post.

I should note that I'll be investing in a PS3 this summer, since my main priority for the console is a few exclusives. I'm more excited for Dust 514 by CCP Games since I'm a war nerd. Twisted Metal is the second priority after buying the PS3. Unfortunately, I wish the PlayStation website can allow Friend requests and invites on the browser. Guess you get what you pay for in the PSN service.

Overall, what can go wrong with this one given Jaffe's pedigree?

So excited, already have it preordered. My family won't see me for many days after this comes out.

I'm looking forward to online play. I consider myself pretty good at Twisted Metal: Black, but I'm the kind of person to get their ass handed to them on online games, except Mario Kart 7, I win surprisingly a lot.

"Pls"
Gotta say, i'm pretty excited about this one. Can't wait to see what Minion looks like this time, (TM Black's Minion was pretty badass)....& T-14, you're not the only one who tends to get their ass handed to you with online competition, i'm not too good at it either.

G4TV gets their hands-on with the game, though they critized the game with its pinball controls/physics (giving it a 3 out of 5). Really G4?

This is G4, they gave Skyward Sword a 4 out of 5 then turned around and gave Saints Row -The Third - a 5 out of 5. Confused Theory of hardcore games are the only games worth getting. but yeah.

I herd the controls were the old school set up. From what I herd, the only issues with the game is the solo race mode's AI is cheep as hell. It's not as much they are trying to win, but more trying to make sure you lose. The normal mode of one player is hard as balls even on the easiest setting, but it's Twisted Metal. This game has never been easy. Besides the rooftop map being REALLY bad with re-spawns when you fall off (like where you fell so you fall again), the local and online play is pretty solid.

From what I've herd, I think I'll wait until it drops to about $40.

Just as a heads up. The first print copies come with a voucher to download twisted metal black for the PS3.

The voucher says that the code expires 2/14/2012, as in the same day it's released. I strongly recommend using the voucher today if you bought it to be on the safe side.

The game also comes with a code to use a sweetooth costume on some other game coming out in May

Just noticed that it expires in 2014, not today, heh. Last time I'll open up the box while in a school bathroom
