excaliburps Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 I can't believe TAY doesn't have a Twisted Metal thread. Ah, well. It might be nostalgia talking but I remember how bad-ass it was when I played it on PS1. Yeah, I know it came on PS2 but I mostly remember the PS1 stuff. In saying that, Jaffe got back to me today and apparently, we're going to set our little chat up, next week! I know he said I couldn't ask anything about TM's MP, but seeing as we do know some things about it, what questions do you guys have or are interested in asking? I don't think he'd answer anything too specific, but a broader stroke of the brush wouldn't hurt if you know what I mean. Oh, and yep. I'm kinda excited about its MP more than its SP. It would certainly be a good break from all the FPS' out there, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Jack Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 So who else played the demo that just came out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I have, but I haven't been able to get in the online multiplayer. Kinda was the whole point of downloading the demo. The single player part of the demo is kinda lame. Not the content, but it's almost like the A.I. gangs up on you. For the first five tries, I would always die first, but I noticed I always caused the most damage. I watched the the A.I. cars barely attacked one another. I jump into the fray and I've got two (or maybe three) cars after me. Not to mention controls take some time to get a handle on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I'm gonna guess that the enemy AI will act differently in the story mode. The single player demo portion was called "challenge mode", which led me to believe that it specifically makes every car target you. I could be wrong, but I doubt they would suddenly make a game where the cars don't target each other, since they've always done it before.

CorgiShinobi Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) The challenge is to be the last one alive in a free-for-all (like every Twisted Metal), but it seemed like the A.I. didn't know how to act around other A.I. I'm guessing as soon as the player comes near, the programming tells it, "Oh hey, there's a target!" I'm hoping at least in the demo this is the problem. I really want to be online because humans think like humans, thus the opportunity for more balance. Though I bet there are gonna be times where people gang up on someone for whatever reason there is to gang up on a player. EDIT: Okay, I played more single player and this was the result. After 4 minutes, I caused 365 points of damage. The highest amount after me was 65 and the lowest was 16. The online multiplayer better be fixed soon...

Strangelove Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I LOVE Twisted Metal and Id love to get Black in HD, but Im not an online player, so Im going to skip out on this one til its 20 bucks or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) I have it pre-ordered, but with people getting fired from Eat, Sleep, Play and David Jaffe leaving the studio effective a month or so after the game launches, with no DLC or expansion planned, I think I might cancel it. I don't know. What do you guys think? Edited February 10, 2012 by DukeOfPwn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 ...did you not play the demo? Shit's awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbassman39 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Will the game have split screen? I don't like the demo as much as I love Black, but it's a good game. My brother and I will play together so much if it has split screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Had the demo for a whole week; each and every time it was unable to put me through to play online. If I get bored, I might download the demo again. I imagine the online connectivity should be fixed by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 The demo isn't working anymore, at least not for me. Like, it won't even boot up. Says it's expired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Yeah most MP demos are pre-release. So if you didn't play it then, you can't play it now. As I've said on twitter I can see it being a game that will drop in price fairly quickly. Their european release (providing everyone in europe with the stripped down and censored German version), and at a one month delay, will most likely be a self-fulfilling prophecy of "we don't think we'll get many sales in Europe". Can't think why... I'm not too fussed, still have black, there's still a PS2 at my mums, I only ever really played against (or alongside, run AI, run!!!) my sister anyway.

Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 So, did anyone pick it up? How is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I got it. The single player is a bit less than what I was expecting, but the multi is as fun as it's ever been in the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Been playing Twisted Metal. So awesome. We need to get a few games going on this forum! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I finally managed to get the Twisted Gold trophy (all gold medals on Twisted difficulty) earlier tonight. Definitely one of the most frustrating trophies I ever attempted, but the car you unlock is so worth it. I spent hours online just crushing fools beneath my treads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I can't even begin to imagine the amount of determination you must have in order to play it on Twisted, and get gold, no less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I wouldn't have bothered if it wasn't holding one of the cars hostage, but it would have driven me nuts to have every car in the game except for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
