Competition for Twisted Metal?! drools Every gaming forum is waiting impatiently for the new exclusive game information (which was supposed to be announced August 3rd), today I’m honored to announce the following game: (please note that it is a concept name, and still can be different when it comes out) Hardware 2. Hardware 2 is a joint effort being developed by Sony London Studios, Sony Liverpool, and Incognito. This is major news because of the highly talented developers behind this project. However, I do know that some of you will be disappointed because most people thought Hardware online arena was average, well don’t be… Hardware 2 (concept name) will be different. Similar to the first Hardware you’ll be able to fight in tanks and jeeps, but this time around, bikes and helicopters are added into the fray. You can fully customize every part on your vehicle including color, items, weapons and more. The biggest change however are the environments: You can fight in a living and breathing world and you can destroy everything…you can even just kill your enemies by letting an apartment building crash into them. The damage will be unbelievable because everything is linked together, when you destroy a building it can crash onto another building and get damaged realistically. Decapitation of limbs, smashing people under buildings, or just being a happy guy that runs over people for a living is something that is normal in Hardware 2 (concept name). You can look at it as the next gen Carmageddon meets Twisted metal. Did I mention that you will fight 50 vs 50 yet? You can even go berserk and try a deathmatch against 99 other players. You’ve got the basic stuff like Deathmatch, Team Deatchmatch, CTF and King of the Hill but you’ve also got several original game modes, making up a total of 14! Rest assured, these are already created and being tested. You will also have the ability to play mini games online like “do the most damage” or “kill the most pedestrians”. A cool feature about Hardware 2 (concept name) is something similar to the “Takedown” feature in Burnout Paradise. Every time that you kill an enemy you’ll see a box with a camera inside the vehicle and you see how the character dies and believe me when i say some deaths are very painful to look at. The online part will be very important and they are going to make sure that clan support is included. You can have a clan emblem, create your own tournaments, and build up your reputation. The reputation is something special. Some games encourage that you destroy buildings and kill innocent people…well, Hardware 2 is different. One should avoid it… you’ll need to make the decision whether your shot will be accurate enough or not, and if you’re wrong, you might kill 50 people! That’s what military is all about. The more ‘clean’ you play, the better your reputation will become. Much more details and exclusive images are coming soon!

What is the difference between a duck?

One thing I have to say is that I still doubt the stability of 100 simultaneous players in one match, on paper it sounds real nice but it is all about execution.. and I'm skeptical as to how well Sony will be able to pull it off. Still, its yet another game to look forward to.

Although the PS3 Twisted Metal is being developed by Eat Sleep Play(lead director of TM started his own company). I wonder what the new TM will be like and how these will be compared. I agree that it will be interesting to see how they pull it off, because to my knowledge, they don't even have that many in PC games...
