David Jaffe, the mad genius behind the creation of Sony’s epic God of War and Twisted Metal franchises, announced this week that he would be leading the charge re-imagine Twisted Metal for the PS3. One of the best loved games for the original Playstation, Twisted Metal hit a much darker note on the PS2 with Twisted Metal: Black, which appeared very early in the PS2’s lifespan all the way back in 2001.
The new Twisted Metal has aerial combat, snipers and co-op weapons which help put a spotlight on team play. It also includes factions for the various lead characters and a great new mode called ‘Nuke,’ in which you are required to drag an enemy team’s leader behind your vehicle to a designated point where, if you can hold them there long enough, you’ll be rewarded with said Nuke. You then fire it off and have to protect it from being shot down until it takes out your opponent’s floating, neon, giant pinata-like mascot.
Game Features:
- Fight online as a disciple of one of four factions, each based on a classic Twisted Metal character.
- Supports up to 16 players online through PSN.
- Play with friends in 2- 4 player split-screen and online as well.
- Featuring a variety of gameplay types including series’ favorite and new, unique game modes.
