Such an underutilized IP. Sony should bring them all back. Socom, Warhawk, Twisted Metal, MAG.They had some really cool MP offerings in generations passed.
They are making a tv show so I doubt they would make one without a new game in production also. It also aligns with Sonys need for more service games.
I've been wanting a new twisted metal for a while, i would even love if they remake 2

A port of the PS3 version would be welcome to coincide with the TV series. Never really gave that version its due, back then.
Yeah a Bluepoint-like remake of the PS3 version should be good enough to test the waters alongside the TV Show.
This series belongs in the 90s. Can't imagine it making the transition to 2023 with any amount of success or relevance. I certainly hope it doesn't.
Give us a Black 2, you cowards! One of my fondest memories from a PS2 game is those character cutscenes and story content. It was creepier than it had any right to be
I'd rather see Insomniac games remake or make a brand new Resistance game.
Any new Twisted Metal absolutely should go back to the grungy comic book styling of Twisted Metal 2.
Twisted Metal Black is cool but "car combat with a clown car that turns into a robot" doesn't mix as well with "brutal psychological horror", let alone the bloody grindhouse of Twisted Metal 2012. It stopped being fun, it was just kind of unpleasant and icky.

agreed. I want silly powers and levels with lots of weird secrets in them.
I honestly think Twisted Metal had trouble seeming modern as most driving/racing games shifted their controls to the shoulder buttons/triggers AND most shooters shifted their weapon controls there. It feels like the franchise kinda faded out on the same schedule as the UT/Q3A style arena/arsenal twitchy FPS and for some of the same reasons even though TM controls were intentionally a lot less precise for the most part.
Only if Fincher or Ari Aster directs it
Yes, this would be great. It had such a crazy atmosphere about it. I was terrified and yet I kept wanting to play. Also unlimited specials was a lot of fun hehe
2012 with more single player content (add all characters back with their own endings and stories) would be great.
Just "remaster" it into PS5 graphics and fix the AI being unfair in SP.
Here's my lukewarm take: Twisted Metal was never all that great. If there's a game, it won't elicit any excitement out of me.
Twisted Metal would be a good fit for the battle royale genre, just a 100 vehicles going at it in a big town with all sorts of weapons.
If it aint got the people from Black or 2012, don't want it. Jaffes a bit of a dick but he and Scott Campbell understand TM, without them I do not want one.
It is basically the OG BR game.
You scramble to find the weapons and you go in a big map. All it is missing is the maps getting smaller.
That franchise was such a cool idea. Would be nice to see a new one using all they've learned since.
I kinda feel like Black as it is could only really exist at the time it did. It was gritty, violent and horror-focused, but it was still intently video gamey, which I think is good because Twisted Metal is incredibly video gamey, and that video game surreality (coupled with the whole game being inside Sweet Tooth's mind for that extra disconnect, though I doubt that factored too much for most players) meant all that darkness and murder and traumatized cast members still came off as palatable. It wasn't "comedic" so much that as dark as it was, being on the PS2 meant it couldn't really push that too far, as much as it wanted to.
When I think of Black made today after TM2012, where the former had some push and pull with its disturbing content and most of the stories revolved around good people tortured by circumstance left to rot and then given freedom to kill each other in slapped together monster cars until they get their wish, and their wish always involves descending into savagery or dying because they wanted to stay the course, where 2012 was really boisterous about its violence without making it fun to watch, I'm not really hopeful that the bones of TM Black would carry forward today.
I could see it happening if the Twisted Metal TV show actually comes out and I'll be there day 1 if a new game is coming.
Twisted Metal is just awesome and it's about time car combat made a return, been far too long.
