God of War director David Jaffe’s latest game Twisted Metal received a somewhat mixed response, and now that he’s working on Drawn to Death for PS4, he’s looking back at what went wrong
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
I hope Drawn to Death is a blast
Just ask Sony to let you have another go at TM but make it as dark and gritty like TM:B.Bring every character to date and some new ones and you have a sale.
I love Jaffe. There's so much raw emotion and humanity in the things he says.
Twisted Metal PS3 was my favorite so far. Yes it would have been better to have more characters and there were some things that could be changed but the gameplay was by far the best in the series. What really hurt it was the online not working right for months.
Just remake Twisted Metal 1-4 on a new engine and give it a crazy story mode that works similar as the ones in Mortal Kombat 9 and 10.
Let us select the indifidual characters again that made the classic games so good.
