Jaffe's New Game Is Looking a lot Less Twisted

PSLS writes:

David Jaffe's latest game has long been rumored to be a Twisted Metal game, ever since a PlayStation 3 ad featured an image of mushroom dust cloud in the shape of clown, leading many to believe it was a hint of a new Twisted Metal game for the PS3.

Now, after Jaffe's latest comments, it appears we may have been thrown a curveball and EatSleepPlay's next game will be a completely new IP.

As long as it captures the atmosphere of TM, I'll be happy.

It's looking to be pretty dark as it is, with the mushroom cloud making a clown face and all.

Jamegohanssj55194d ago

This guy is badass, so I can't wait to see what he comes up with next.

EDIT:

oh yeah, dragulaaaaa!!!!!!!!11111111one oneoneone

TOO PAWNED5194d ago

Also keep in mind that he say "storieS for our game", to me that sounds ala TM ....maybe hes just misleading us, doing it on purpose.

gaffyh5194d ago

I'm actually very happy at this news. I'm from UK, so obviously I don't really like Twisted Metal lol, but I love GOW. So before whenever everyone's written a list stating "Jaffe Exclusive," I just passed over it thinking it's TM. So now I am actually more excited that this will be a game that would appeal to me.

dammit PSLS which one is it? Or did you all just pull a HHG last week for hits ¬_¬

SuperStrokey11235194d ago

@ Aridspider

They report the news... they dont make it duder. They aren't kotaku after all.

Sangria5194d ago

Gaffyh: "I'm from UK, so obviously I don't really like Twisted Metal"
I don't get it, how your country can affect your appreciation of a game? (it's a real question, nothing ironic, sarcastic or rhetorical)

SOAD5194d ago

If this guy spent half as much time actually working on a game instead of blogging and vlogging on the internet, it would have been released already.

Twisted Metal is a good game for the 1990's era when people didn't really think of games as being mediums of storytelling. Twisted Metal doesn't belong in this era as a full-fledged game. A PSN title, for sure, but I'd rather Jaffe and his studio concentrate more on a story-driven game, not "Mortal Kombat with cars".

UnSelf5194d ago

lol that game'll be awesome. but maybe a fusion of GOW/UC/InFamous music'll be more appreciated

gaffyh5194d ago

@Sangria - Oh don't worry about it, just a little joke from Jaffe's recent poll. He basically had one of the options as "Twisted Metal, Screw that, we hate that sh*t over here in Europe!"

But yeah, I honestly don't like Twisted Metal, but I do understand that it has a big following in North America, which is why I am bound to get so many disagrees. :)

sikbeta5194d ago (Edited 5194d ago )

@Sangria

Pal, what he's saying is that TM is More Popular in America than in Europe, The PS Crew don't have the same taste for everything...

VARIETY > everything else

On-Topic

I believe in Jaffe, The Guy Knows Best...

"If this guy spent half as much time actually working on a game instead of blogging and vlogging on the internet, it would have been released already."

Right because hes the only person the the dev team. He posts on his blog like twice a week.

pain777pas5194d ago

New IPs are always welcome but, he should give us just a little hint at what the games about. I have a megaton funny feeling though.

FACTUAL evidence5194d ago

Well sorta both. I had EXTREMELY high hopes for TM after black. I wanted to see how TM would be like on the next gen systems. At the same time I'm sort of happy, you know, like Forrest Gump says, "life is like a box of chocolates, ya never know what ya gunna get", in my case, it can be a fresh new IP that can get a huge fanbase. Gotta be diverse, and trying something new for a change isn't bad sometimes.

Kleptic5193d ago

regardless...a TM from eat sleep play is pretty much confirmed...it wasn't that mushroom cloud thing that gave it away...it was the hidden message in the PS2 port of Twisted Metal: Head On that confirmed 'Twisted Metal PS3' to be coming...

that doesn't mean that it will be Eat sleep plays second game though...meaning these rumors could be true...but a TM game coming from jaffe is more than just speculation from a clown shaped explosion...

-MD-5194d ago

Well toward the end he said "the storie(s) we have" and Twisted Metal obviously has a bunch of stories so we could still have a shot.

But if it isn't Twisted Metal then we pretty much just got a confirmation his new game will have more than one ending.

BlackTar1875194d ago

I will be extremly sad i loved TM except 3 and 4 i think they were made by 989 studios back then but yea Black still a game i can put in and relive all the stories every couple of years.

TM was just to bad ass and the sign in the HANDS ON TM they released with the sign that said TM coming soon or to ps3 or something would push me over the edge if its not TM.

Game On fellas

BTW murder thats aawesome pic for an avatar is that Neve Campbell if so your avatar makes her look alot hotter then i remember

djfullshred5194d ago

I am thinking some of the Twisted Metal hints have been bait to guage public interest before even deciding to commit to a project like that.

-MD-5194d ago

I hope not... there's been so much stuff that points to a TM game it would annoy me to no end if it wasn't his new game.

Beast_Master5194d ago

I just hope it gets shown by E3 and then Drops in Q4.

Ps3rd-Place5194d ago

the ps3 is too cr@p for twisted metal
itll end up on the 360 soon enough

AshleyRiot5194d ago

Hold your breath til that happens please. You'd be doing mankind a favor.

Karooo5194d ago

ps3 has 21, microsoft has 3.

first party games never go to other consoles :)

shutupandplay5194d ago

I still really hope it`s twisted metal.

LittleBigPlanet 3 Servers Are Officially Shut Down 'Indefinitely,' Sony Confirms

Sony has confirmed that LittleBigPlanet 3 servers on PlayStation 4 will remain offline “indefinitely” following troubles with the service from earlier this year.

rlow14h ago

Sad day, hopefully they’ll allow a third party server solution. Goes to show game preservation is an uphill battle.

Fieyy4h ago

First the Helldivers launch and then this

Sony still can’t run online services/games.

-Foxtrot4h ago

Do you not get tired creating duplicate accounts...

It's super sad at this point

Knightofelemia1h ago

Last time I remember Helldivers is doing great with players both PC and Playstation.

Fieyy1h ago

And how was it at launch? A disaster for weeks.

arkard8m ago

How was that Sonys fault?

jjb19816m ago(Edited 5m ago)

It's crazy that you keep making accounts just to be a troll. You went through the trouble of making it just to try to stir the fanboy pot. 🤡 activities.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC5h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer7h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey6026h ago(Edited 6h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya4h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde4h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
