Having played it a lot at E3 last year and some more this year, I can assure you that this game is absolutely awesome. I'm a big fan of Twisted Metal and have wanted a worthy successor to Twisted Metal: Black for ages now. This game is easily the best in the series from what little I've already played. Multiplayer and single player campaigns are both chock full o' greatness. I'll be pre-ordering it as well.

I want it right meow.

I hope the storyline is as good as black was.

[stevetothepast]

I wish I had a ps3

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Aww. yeah me too on that.

[Dimnos]

Get a used one at gamestop or something. Its a bad ass machine.

[Dimnos]

Lasted twice as long as any of the 3 xboxes I have had with no problems at all.

Twisted Metal 2 was the game that defined my gaming growing up. I went from C64, to NES, to SNES, and then when I was about to get a shitty N64 my dads buddy brought over his PS1 and Twisted Metal 2. And that's all she wrote.

Being young I remember the story being really messed up but so awesome. After that though 989 Studios destroyed the games by taking over and making garbage sequels along Jet Moto and that kind of bummed me out. But then Incog who is mostly the original Singletrac team made Black and holy shit was it bad ass. It's still a fun co-op game even today. Fucking hard though.

Really excited about it, I think that this video is the most I've seen of the story based characters, lately I've only seen a bunch of different cars driven by the Clowns and the Doll faces which I'm guessing is to show off the "faction" aspect of multiplayer, but I really just want to see which all characters will be in the story mode.

Also, Nuke mode looks frigging rad as balls.

SweetTooth, Dollface, and Mr.Grimm seem to be the three main storyline characters. I think they brought some more back for multiplayer along with vehicles. I really just wanted a next-gen game like the old ones, but I have no problem trying new things!

One thing I really don't care for though is the change to Mr.Grimm. I really liked his original characterization better. His Black story was okay, but still not up to par with Twisted Metal 2's Mr. Grimm. I also think that it'd be awesome to see some of the older characters fleshed out, like the original driver of Darkside, Mr. Ash. Man, what was his deal?

[ThrashO]

I wanted to see more of Manslaughter and Minion from Black.

Manslaughter only had one story movie, and it was just of him driving away, I never understood...

Also Minion I remember just being a badass with a moosehead-hat, but he had no story elements either.

Definetely want to see Axel, TM 2's Outlaw (Maybe a bro/sis team?), and Yellow Jacket from Black, that was a creepy but really awesome story. A kid's dad get's his brains blown out by some thug and the kid builds a machine to power his dads head, maybe the kid could be grown up now?

The ultimate badass in Black was Crazy 8, I loved his story and the final movie. Shit I can't wait for this game.

OBVIOUSLY YOU MISSED THE MANGLED CORPSE ON THE GROUND AFTER HE DRIVES AWAY

[Dimnos]

I never got a chance to play black but I hear they changed specter to a chick, what the shit man?

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Black > Rogue Trip > TM2 > Tm1 > 989 studios.

I haven't played Black Head on or Small brawl. Black head seemed like a ported version of Black though. I think Dylan's got the heads up on head on.

[ThrashO]

Critical Depth > Rogue Trip

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

The jet boat game?

[Fathom Zero]

Head On was a grand affair. Reminded me in many ways of 2, but with the speed and such of Black.

The port of Head On with the "lost Black chapters" and other bonus content was something I didn't get, though I'd been meaning to. I don't have a PSP anymore, either, so I should prolly get it someday if I ever wanna do the Head On stuff again. Also, the bonus features have cutscenes that didn't make it into the first game. They look like Troma movies.

[Zomboid]

Vigilante 8 and Rogue Trip were both awesome, as well.

[dextire]

Wow, I forgot all about Vigilante 8. The bees were unstoppable!

[Wiffles]

The swarm is supreme, go home city slicker!

you might get lucky and sony will release thosse for ps3 since they are now putting psp games on ps3

[Fathom Zero]

I doubt it. They already poured money into it buy porting it to the PS2, while the PS3 was out. It's one of the last few legitimate games that came out for the PS2.

Wait what? You can play PSP games on PS3 now? I've been waiting for an eternity for them to put Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins on the PS3 cuz that game is so insanely hard and awesome, but I don't want to play it on a portable system.

[Fathom Zero]

That sounds like a game they'd put on the PSN.

But naw, they are bringing the God of War games to the PS3, in addition to MGS: Peace Walker, among other things. I don't think they're making it a widespread policy and it's probably at the publisher's discretion.
