 I wish I had a PS3 just for this... Twisted Metal, Halo, and DragonBall are childhood favorites of mine. 2/3 on the Xbox... but I miss TM so much. The last time I played it, I think I was like 7? That was half my life ago...
Currently voicing Chris for SegaBridged's upcoming Sonic X Abridged series. Super stoked. Lots of talent in this group.

 Only 7 years ago? TM Black was the last console TM and it came out over 11 years ago. Haha, the series is older than you have been alive. :D

Anyway, I've put some more time into it and the Helicopter(Talon) is really cool. I didn't know how a helicopter would work in this game but I can say that it does work well. I can't wait for the full game as the campaign sounds great compared to the campaigns of the old....

During a live developer interview, developers from Eat, Sleep, Play discussed the story length along with other new details.

Depending how good the player is the story can last somewhere between 5 to 12 hours long. A “good” player should be able to complete the game is about 9 hours, while an “average” player can complete the game in around 12 hours. They describe the campaign being “the best they ever done” thus far in the Twisted Metal series.

The story will not be as dark as Twisted Metal: Black, nor will it be as “cartooney” as Twisted Metal II. The game will be a great mix of “humor, supernatural, dark edge of black,” along with “Dark twisted, twilight zone stories, fantasy elements of 2, creep show comic book, bloody mature”. It will be just as Twisted as any other Twisted Metal game.

The story focuses on only a limited amount of characters. This lead to a more deeper story then any other Twisted Metal game.

 I want this. >.<
And I was probably a little younger than 7. I've only played Twisted Metal 2(or 3 or 4) and Twisted Metal Kids(or something like that). It's a huge part of my childhood as me and my brother played it on the PlayStation all the time. Along with Team Buddies(anyone remember that?).

Twisted Metal 1 & 2 were the good ones made by Single Trac. Then the games were handed over to another developer. TM3 was alright but not close to as good as the first two and TM4 was just meh. The TM you talk about with Kids is called Twisted Metal Small Brawl. It was also made by the original developers after 3 & 4. Then the PS2 had my all time favorite TM, TM Black. It was stunning when it came out and also by the original developers.

This new one has replaced Black as my favorite and also developed by the original developers. It's not dark and gritty like black but not really cartoony like the first 4 either. It's a nice balance between them. Oh and I finally got into my first online match! There's some sort of error with the demo that causes you not to get into the online but it does work from time to time. It's a blast online, I liked it better than offline and Twisted Metal Black Online. Still have to try Nuke Mode.

Here's 16 minutes of demo gameplay if anyone is interested. The first minute is just set up/menus if you want to skip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Lj8PiP8iAYM

 Oh this is really neat, the game will support user generated skins! This makes it even cooler. Still not exactly clear on how it will work but neat none the less. I'll give my verdict on the game once I get it on the 14th!

David Jaffe has confirmed that the upcoming Twisted Metal game will support customizable paint skins and details how it works.

Starting sometime next week (before the game launches), Twisted Metal fans will be able to visit the official website and start uploading personally customized skins. Jaffe stated that these skins will be available in the game to download and can contain any design players want. This means that you’ll be able to use advanced programs such as Photoshop to create your very own vehicle paint skin, as stated on IGN Live. And yes, anything, and we mean anything, can be used as a skin. Although the game is rated M, it is not known whether or not there will be some sort of filter or moderation for content deemed inappropriate. It is probably likely since the EU version of Twisted Metal has been delayed partly for this reason.

Alternatively, you can also use the in-game paint shop, though you won’t be able to paint any custom skins other then the ones that are already shipped in the game.

Twisted Metal is set to release on February 14th on the PS3. Be sure to check out the latest Twisted Metal news.

 Welp the game has come out and I got it day one! It has gained positive reviews from most of the big media sites. 8 from Gamespot, 8.5 Gameinformer, 9 IGN but this game could have scored a 1/10 for all I care. I've been a fan since pretty much the beginning and I played the demo so I know I liked it.

Pretty much, here's my opinion on it. If you liked the series, you'll like this. If you didn't then you may but may not. As far as people who have never played one before it's a nice change from the cookie cutter games flooded on the market. I played TM2 and TM Black to death to the point that I got tired of them and when Head On came out I liked it but it felt like I already played it to death since it was TM2 just with better graphics.

Imo it's the best Twisted Metal yet. This game, however, feels like a fresh twist on an old title. My favorite part about the single player is that it mixes it up. In the previous games you just played through 8 deathmatches to progress in the story but in this one it isn't ALL death matches. Some are death match but you have to stay within this cage in order to not lose your grace period and take damage. It adds a new challenge because after some time the cage moves and you have to race to the new location or risk dying. There is also a racing level on it! :O

The live action cutscenes are a nice touch, imo. I loved Sweet Tooth's story, it was pretty twisted. So far that's my opinion on it. Anyone else get it or getting it?
And here's the launch trailer. Been playing it more and just beat Mr. Grimm's story. I have to say the final boss is difficult(and I'm on normal) but freaking amazing! So far it's the best boss I've played in a Twisted Metal game. The boss is called Iron Maiden and it's a HUGE Dollface mech with, obviously, Dollface in it. Everytime you think you have her, she throws a new challenge your way.

 The vehicle customizer just opened today and I've been having fun customizing and seeing what the community has made. I made a few for Sweet Tooth. Here's a pic of what my favorite skin of Axel looks like.

Also Darkside with transformer logos on it! ^_^
