This is irrelevant news to the true gamer. Vigilante 8 is nothing more than a second rate clone of the award winning Twisted Metal series. It makes no sense whatsoever to Dark Sniper to purchase a pure imitation of PlayStation innovation with one of it's most dynamic creations.

Dark Sniper will pass. He would rather purchase Twisted Metal 2 from the PlayStation® Store and save money by paying actual funds for his product and not "points".

JustinSaneV2 says DarkSniper is a self-pompous fool.

Twisted Metal was a clone of Super Mario Kart Battle Royal.
Hey Sniper how's the PS#3 doing in the Land of the Rising Sun?

BlankShowCast Episode 46 - If You Have a Vita, You Have No Friends

The regular gang is back together once again, and this time, they have a very special gue...

Well, no. That didn't actually play out as planned. We don't know what happened.

But, by golly, we had a show to do, and do a show we did done do! Holly had a bonfire, Tim tickled the 6-string, and Boots actually started Dragon Age: Origins!

Later, the gang talked about the fall of 38 Studios, Tim played this week's Game of Chance, and the trio discussed what they'd find an acceptable price point that would convince them to buy a PSVita.

In other news, it's a sad and cloudy day for the crew as the end of an era approaches.

Twisted Metal musings from an ex-Vigilante 8 fan

4Player - "You simply don’t get that same feeling from Vigilante 8, which has destructible environments but never utilizes them in such a way as to make the levels nearly as modular as they could be. There is, instead, a static quality which never seems to relax its grip on the design, and results in the levels seeming overly rigid. I hate to make it sound as if this is an attestation of a lack of creativity, but this overarching problem winds its way throughout all of Vigilante 8, and in a way it seems as though Luxoflux felt really awkward thinking outside the box. Even the quirky characterization of the cars seems to have been developed in such a sophomoric way, that in comparison to Twisted Metal they just come of as timid and banal."

Vigilante 8 was amazing! The Roswell level with the aliens and the giant Rollin donught was awesome!

Blacktric4459d ago

I still play the Arizona level of Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense once in a while. Damn... even the title sounds extremely cool. Those were the good old days when Activision was still publishing great games...

NeoTribe4459d ago

Was a truly amazing game in the day. They had a semi rig with a huge trailor dammit. LIGHTNIN!

torchic4459d ago

funny story? on one of my birthday's as a kid, a friend of mine gave me his Vigilante 8: 2nd Offence as a gift. he missed it so much that he offered to trade it for his version of Twisted Metal. I refused.

game also had a great soundtrack. I still play "Stargazers" to this very day :)

I remember getting Vigilante 8. I was little but I knew it looked like Twisted Metal and ended up really like it. Bought the sequel too. I wouldn't doubt a new gen of it would be better then current twisted metal. It's so different.

Twisted Metal - 80´s
Vigilante 8 - 70´s

Love both series.
