GamerXChange: "Gamers that planned on buying the forthcoming Twisted Metal PS3 revival used can anticipate being snapped onto a short leash that ends right outside the PlayStation Network.'
Against series creator David Jaffe’s apparent wishes, the vehicular mayhem series’ current-generation resurrection will be subjected to many a player’s most reviled dirty word: “online pass.” '
Now, before the requisite pissing and moaning that follows the words “online pass” almost everywhere begins, take a couple things into good, long consideration."
Everyone knows Twisted Metal... I mean literally everyone! Whether it is simply a childhood classic for you, or one of the worst, mind-corrupting disgraces to entertainment you can think of, you've at least heard of this iconic title.
Terri writes: "In a recent video released by the creator of the God of War series, David Jaffe, we can see that Jaffe is not fond of the direction PlayStation took regarding the franchise, and in particular, Kratos himself."
Well, I personally think that Santa Monica did an absolutely phenomenal job with Kratos, showcasing insane character development in all the right ways.
Wasn't Jaffe the one who got stuck on something easy in Metroid Dread and started bashing the game because of it? From what I played of GoW 2018, they actually gave Kratos some much-needed depth. I definitely plan to finally go through the newer entries once my PS5 comes in.
This whole video was essentially him finding comments to back up his own opinion. "It looks like a lot of people think..."
Yeah, well what do the review scores, sales, user scores, and completion rates on the last two say? Anything on that?
People won’t like it I know but he’s entitled to his opinion being the games creator
I totally disagree but it’s not going to ruin the game for us who do like it
The WellPlayed crew gathers to pitch an appropriately deranged set of options for the future of Twisted Metal.
All I ask for is a new Twisted Metal that allows flat screen & PSVR2 cross play that also supports a wheel.
Would be heaven.
They need to get the enemy AI balance right. Thats what made 2 the best in the series. Black was abysmal in that dept.
You don't. Do sequels. If you've gotta reboot, might as well do a new IP. God of War is the only game I can say that did a successful reboot
This article gives me dejavu...
Restrictions? Sure for Gamestop shoppers.
This doesn't affect legit owners of the game who buy new. The online pass is included free of charge.
Great article. I hope all the people who hate the online pass read this. Anyone against online passes are cheap and selfish.
Buy games new you cheap bastards. If you cannot afford to support developers then wait for a price drop. It isn't like buying a new car. If you cannot afford $60 for a game then you should probably be playing a PS2 or Xbox.
I am also against downloading music illegally. So go ahead and bubble me down, fuckers.
I sit on the fence here with the current tactics toward insuring the sale of new games. While I laughed and gave a huge thumbs up to Croteam for the way they handled people pirating their game (immortal scorpion for the win!), I'm just not sure if used games and rentals are as big of a crime to the industry.
Sure, the current corporate structure of Gamestop is, but the online pass does seem a bit too heavy handed. Not even on the used game front, but people who actually like to rent games from say a Gamefly. To lock out the ability to even play multiplayer on a rental copy of a game that relies on multiplayer is just a crushingly punishing blow to consumers.
