Man I love surprises!
And I ESPECIALLY love E3 surprises!
Thing is, in this day and age, it’s super rare for a game to surprise anyone at E3 anymore. There are just too many leaks. And the Internet makes sure those leaks travel fast and furious. From the moment the info first gets out to the time when the hardcore gamers know about it, you’re talking 12, maybe 18 hours tops. Many publishers have simply given up trying to surprise gamers at E3 because they know it’s just not possible anymore. But back in the day – when E3 first began – you’d walk onto the show floor and have no idea what new games and new ideas you’d find as you travelled from
booth to booth. That sense of wonder, of discovery, of sheer surprise…it was total gamer joy. But these days that sense of surprise and discovery
has all but vanished from the E3 experience.
Which is why when Sony asked if we wanted to close out their E3 press conference by announcing the new Twisted Metal AND asked if we wanted to
try to keep it a surprise…well, we were thrilled! An attempt at a good, old fashioned E3 surprise? Hells yes, baby! Sign us up!
Not sure if you missed the press conference but if you did, you can check out surprise announce right here:
We know this is going to be the best Twisted Metal ever released. 16 players online, 2-4 player split screen, amazing new game modes,
helicopters, motorcycles, sports cars, all battling it out in highly interactive levels with all the skill, speed, and strategy you could ask for! It’s been a long while since the last console Twisted Metal was released, but we think the wait will have been worth it. We’re crazy proud of the new game and are looking forward to entertaining all of the loyal TM fans as well as earning many new Twisted Metal devotees with this title.
But the game is not done yet. We’ve got a ways to go so we could really use your help. The game is playable on the show floor starting now. So if
you’re able to get into E3 this year, please come to the Sony booth and give Twisted Metal a play. And then please hit us back on our brand new Eat Sleep Play forums with your likes, dislikes, issues, changes, fixes, etc. Whatever feedback we can get, we are grateful for. Early user feedback is one of the key things that turns a game into a classic. And we want this baby to be classic!
Ok, so that’s that. Twisted Metal is coming on Playstation 3! And we could not be more pleased! Now we’re off, into the bowels of the Los Angeles Convention Center to see the sites, play the games, and hey, who knows, perhaps discover a few surprises along the way! Stranger things have happened!
Great to be back ya’ll! We missed you!

Man you’re a [DELETED] for all those lies about this being in development the past year or two rofl. But damn good job keeping the secret ye [DELETED] <3. TM for PS3, day 1 purchase. Let the good times roll!
And I totally agree with the leaks thing. I had such a strong smile on my face when I heard the ice cream music softly starting up in the trailer when I watched the live video feed!!
Good day to you sir, you rock!

Damn you Jaffe! I am one of those rarities that has never played a Twisted Metal game, somehow I just never got around to it…but I would love a carcombat game these days. Even good car games are a rarity! Getting this day one!

So freaking excited about this, Jaff! I couldn’t contain myself when I heard the ice cream truck music playing…YESSSSSSSS!!
I had a feeling you were pulling one over on everyone with the recent comments about wishing you were developing a new TM. Good job, sir
Can’t wait to try the game, keep it up chief!

I had no idea until the icecream van tune started and it became a “no… it can’t be” moment. Best news of E3 so far!
Interested to know if we’ll see the old characters (Grim, Outlaw etc.) or will it all be factions instead?

That early reveal on the Bonus Round was uncool.
Great news though
