Rumor: Twisted Metal PS3 hinted at in clownsplosion?

From PS3fanboy:
"We say "clownsplosion" because at first, the image of an atomic explosion seemed innocent enough (relatively speaking) and we didn't see the hidden image inside the puffs of PlayStation 3 exclusive smoke. We'd outline it, but we're too lazy. There's a madly laughing clown. A lot of debate has been floating around the PS3 Forums about this picture, but most seem to agree -- Twisted Metal...

C'mon...*crosses fingers*

[fenderputty]

That would be freaking sick.

WE NEED SOME JAFFE LOVE.... Come on... Be truth be truth.

[Firewire]

This is pretty much confirmed!

Incognito has finished Warhawk,(they made the others) Jaffe is scouting out his new second home, this has been long rumored even. Jaffes role is uncertain in the game, but this is one "I wanted to make another" quote thats coming true.
Sony has also hinted at another Twisted Metal, and Jaffe asked on his blog two weeks ago, "What do you guys want in a new Twisted Metal?"

put it all together and you have a new Twisted Metal"
by the way I mentioned this 6 months ago!

[BBsin]

Is David Jaffe finished with making low budget PSN games??? i sure hope so, he needs to go back into making bigger scale games such as Twisted Metal.

[Cupid-Stunt]

Ive never heard of it? lol

Thanks fopums.

see for yourself...was one of the 1st killer games in ps2...

[Rhezin]

twisted metal i gotta admit was an AWESOME game back in the day.

[Lifendz]

for free on PSN.

[fopums]

twisted metal is pretty much the father of car combat games, crazy characters with over the top special attacks and each installment is pretty much armageddon warmed over.

there great :D, hope this is legit. bring on minion baby!

[mikeslemonade]

Damn... I would have never saw the clown until some of you guys with "girl eyes" noticed. Only girls notice these types of things.

[chitown]

nooo i just think ur retarded or blind

[REbirth]

blind he wasn't becus he saw the explosion...so i think he is the other option:P

i want my bubbles back!!!

[mikeslemonade]

The clown doesn't look like the twisted metal clown though. Unless it wants to appeal to more casual and younger gamers.

[Kleptic]

yeah that definitely doesn't look anything like Sweet Tooth...especially the really creepy TM: Black version of him...

I really hope this is Incognito's next game...Warhawk will be complete in just about a month...and a twisted metal: Black sequel would pretty much be about as good as it gets...I don't care if it isn't even a sequel...I have loved every TM game that singletrac/incognito and Jaffe were invovled with...the twisted metal games that were not done by those guys (twisted metal 3 and 4)...sucked...

[Arkham]

While TM:Black is one of my favourite games, the Clowd does resemble the clown-head on the top of the ice-cream truck. I think that's close enough.

[MannyHarlem141]

JAFFE, JAFFE, JAFFE, JAFFE, JAFFE, JAFFE, JAFFE, JAFFE, JAFFE...

He said he wasn't gonna be workin' on GoW3, this may have been that project

[hazeblaze]

Wow, this would be a huge announcement! I used to love Twisted Metal!

[Darkiewonder]

But PSN I can see him doing it.

I mean. an EPIC PSN title. Yes. No file size restriction? Of course. It's just like doing a ps2 game up for download on the PSN store. ;D

[Sevir04]

no twisted metal isn't the father of all car combat. it was probably the first to do 3-d and destruction but not father of it. that goes to mario Kart for SNES. remember the battle mode they had. i mean. i think Mario kart for SNES started that genre. twisted metal made it better and more enjoyable ^^ anywho. that seems to be it. warhawk is about to come to final shipping in a few weeks, and Ingoc has said may times over that they would love to see a twisted Metal running on a more optimized Warhawk engine for PS3, so that's definately gonna be amazing

[Arkham]

Sorry, kid, but Car Wars predates it by several years.

The earliest predecessor to Mario Kart, though, would be Bump'N'Jump. Hell, RallyX for that matter.

[Maddens Raiders]

and get the hell outta the way.

[gano]

Yes sir, madden yes sir.

[DeadIIIRed]

Whenever the Network Adapter came out for the PS2 I sent in for that free copy of Twisted Metal Black online, but never got it. I'm actually upset now.

[Maddens Raiders]

...that's pretty funny.

Wonder if anyone will ever re-make Red Faction (I or II)? Whew my pals and I played that game for days and days.

[nurayi]

god I havent played this game in forever. last time I played was the first and second for PS1. so many good memories

[fopums]

you got a point there about mariokart, never thought of it that way :D

I really hope we get a statment sometime soon, car customization, detalied replicas of major cities that are completley destructible and at least 8 player deathmatch's online!

[mmike855]

This would be perfect timing for Sony and Incognito to announce a new Twisted Metal, especially with the rather limited competition in the vehicular combat department. Sony is reaching into the past and has been lovingly rejuvenating old series like Warhawk, but now Twisted Metal has just gotta rear its head. Hahah thinking about Twisted Metal is getting me all nostalgic. Remember some other older games like Jumping Flash, Tobal #2, Pandemonium! I still remember sitting with a Sega Saturn thinking about how I was missing out on games like Twisted Metal by Singletrack, Destruction Derby, and the original Crash Bandicoot.

[Rattles]

eny one meber life force tenka ???

[PS3Rebel]

hands down OWNS! the amount of co-op split screen hours that i put into that game back in the day were shocking lol

i loved everything about that game...TM:Black just didnt cut it for me - it was good but the enviroments could have used work...but now with the PS3 online home service twisted metal online would rock!

[Adamalicious]

Twisted Metal didn't really do it for me, but if has some Warhawk quality multiplayer then bring it on!

[Havince]

has got worse and worse the more the made them.

i owned i think it was 4 and 5 on NSTC copy because they were that rubbish they didnt get released on PAL

I hopet his rumour is true as itd be another good reason to eventually buy a PS3, However i agree with the person above, it doesnt look like the clown motif that has been used previously

[Kleptic]

You may be referring to TM 3 and 4...I don't think there ever was a "5"...that would be where TM: Black falls, or TM: Small Brawl or whatever, some kiddy game that came out for the PS1 around when tm: black was released...

either way...Twisted Metal 3 and 4 for the orginal playstation where terrible on every level...Singletrac (a development company that split up around then, then some of the guys reformed and ended up with Incognito) did not make 3 and 4...and the games suffered big time...a Rob Zombie soundtrack for one of them, and attempted realistic car physics ruined the game fast...Incognito and David Jaffe did Twisted Metal: Black in 2001, the first game they did since TM 1 and 2, of which the game returned to its roots and is definitely one of the absolute best games for the PS2...

In case anyone is wondering...Jaffe worked on all the great Twisted Metals (except I am not sure about head on for the PSP...I think he was on GoW at that time)...and SingleTrac overall made some of the best games of the past 12 years imo...Warhawk, Twisted Metal, and Jet Moto are all games that need some attention on the PS3...Warhawk is definite, TM is likely, Jet Moto probably not...

[THC CELL]

Dont get ya hope up yet people.

I do hope its True.

[machine]

Twisted metal is a really sick series. but, that smoke clown isn't evil enough looking. i mean, twisted metal black was pretty friggn dark- which was great, but i kind of hope that this isn't a hint of a PS3 version because it doesn't look "twisted" enough. i want to see manhunt2 mariokart.

[30ROCK]

Thank god for Twisted Metal!
Also, thank god for Jaffe!

[[email protected]]

Amen!, brother.

[r1000]

Yea that picture is Awesome... hands down....

[Delive]

Take a note from Warhawk and include 4 way split screen support for online play. (brainstorming: Twisted Metal + Transformers......)

[THE_JUDGE]

I can't think of a reason for the life of me why there was only one TM game that came out of PS2, blows my mind. Black was awesome and if they do a new full game (which I think they will) that will move system and make me giddy as a school girl.

[2tired2day2hate]

i've always wanted twisted metal 1 to come out on on xbox live. it would be great but maybe thats one exclusice ms wont try to buy. twisted metal black is one of my favortite games of all time.

[Phantom_Lee]

twist metal series is published by Sony

[2tired2day2hate]

i didnt know that
