Twisted Metal, Sweet Tooth and... Rape?!

Lindsey writes: "Earlier today the latest trailer for Twisted Metal hit GameTrailers.com and it has been receiving some varying reviews. Most of the fans are digging it, really enjoying how dark it is and are super psyched for when the game releases. Others are not so receptive, saying that there is rape in it and that it’s almost too dark. So, what gives?"

sweet tooth character profile is like a serial killer than a you know thats how he have always been portray as

TotalPS3Fanboy5169d ago

Sweet Tooth murding someone with a chainsaw somehow equals to rape. LOL.

MaroonersRock5169d ago

I'm not quite sure I follow. Was your statement sarcastic and in jest or were you implying that I actually think that Sweet Tooth was going for rape? Thanks :) - Lindsey

ilikestuff5169d ago

rape huh? this is akward

malamdra5169d ago

I guess it depends on which part of the victim's body he's applying the chainsaw

but even that is very debatable

DERKADER5169d ago

Oh just because it's a cute blond it's rape. I bet if it was some fugly girl with a butch hair cut it wouldn't have even been brought up.

@TotalPS3Fanboy

Did you even read the article?? The author was commenting on what users on a different website were saying. She didn't think the girl was being raped by any means. Oh and in the clip everyone is talking about, Sweet Tooth is using a machete, not a chainsaw.

Read the article first next time

zeal0us5169d ago

Wow feel like I'm reading something from Fox news "gaming review" lol, didn't see rape

read the article

"Wow- amazed/saddened/confused that people are getting ‘rape’ from the new TWISTED METAL trailer"

most like refer to the car combat and not the actual girl. The rape part came from a GameTrailer commenter who ignorantly posted without think b4 hand(its stated in the article). Sweet Tooth is a serial killer his pleasure come from killing not raping lol

CameronL995169d ago

The reason people think "rape" is because they have a sick mind and that's the first thing that comes into their head, probably because its what they would've done in that same situation.

Its kindof like those people who accuse everyone for being gay - everyone from cartoon characters, to Teletubbies, to William Shakespeare, they accuse them of being gay because that's what's on their mind all the time, so that's what comes up when noone else would even dream of the same conclusion.

Seriously wtf rape??Where are people getting this from??
All old school Twisted Metal player's should know the story behind Sweet tooth by now.

Either way Ocotber 4 can't come soon enough:)

Freddy_Millz15169d ago

Bro, that vid is SICK!!! Nice intro to how he entered the tournament. Great find!

Breadisgood5169d ago (Edited 5169d ago )

It's obviously not the "old school Twisted Metal players" suggesting it's rape...

rebirthofcaos5169d ago

well you know, the journalist well write anything that gathers attention, even if it is absurd.

Emilio_Estevez5169d ago (Edited 5169d ago )

Even if it includes rape, who cares? My wife loves horror movies and the lifetime channel, both have rapes on a regular basis. I don't see fox news crying about that!

Focker4205169d ago

Two words...

Double Standards

soundslike5169d ago

Exactly...

I really don't mean to sound harsh to anybody who has been abused, but that's just it...they are alive to possibly be offended

Humans are weird... mass murder is somehow less fucked up than rape?. Yea, we are dealing with degrees of "fucked-up-ness" but all the same, most people are A-O-K with mass murderers in entertainment, so its somewhat puzzling when people start deciding to get offended by a different type of violence that hypothetically may or may not exist in the twisted metal trailer or otherwise.

despair5169d ago

lol I think its the demented mind of the people watching the trailer, I saw Sweet Tooth with a machete going to kill a girl, how the hell do people get rape from that. And what kind of world is it that rape is hated and despised but murder is OK? Talk about double standards.

Me I don't care what they say or claim to have seen, I'm loving the look of this game and in the next week with all the new info coming out these idiots won't even be a blip on my radar anymore.

Focker4205169d ago

Too bad its only rated Teen... I was really hoping for a Mature TM.

TM3 is my favorite but I'll take what they bring out gladly. Fun times back in the day and great soundtracks

Cacabunga245d ago

Last one on ps4 wasn’t good at all.
Hoping for some good reboot or remake of the first 3

Dagexon245d ago

You mean the one on ps3?

Cacabunga245d ago

Yes i do, thanks! I realized too late couldn’t edit

badboyz09245d ago (Edited 245d ago )

Lego 2K Drive features an exciting mode called Brick Brawl, inspired by Twisted Metal. Players can create, share, and upload various cars, including ones like Sweet Tooth. The game boasts thousands of custom cars, ranging from the Batmobile to the Sweet Tooth ice cream truck.

InUrFoxHole245d ago

Never understood the like for the series. Not my bag but I know a lot of gamers are clamoring for a new game and liked the TV. Series

TiredGamer245d ago (Edited 245d ago )

TM1 and 2 are time period classics. They were a bit rough, ugly, and grungy, but they felt right during the time period they were released and they scratched that early console “death match” itch before FPS games would completely swallow that market.

Many great memories with friends playing couch co-op and 1v1. Short, and quick-and-dirty gameplay that we returned to over and over. I’d buy a remake or proper remastering of the first two games day one.

InUrFoxHole245d ago

Lol, nice! I remember having the tiger handheld or watch..

FinalFantasyFanatic245d ago

I played those so much as I kid, I bought the Twisted Metal games that were on PSN as Playstation Classics, wow, they feel clunky by today's standards, they could really use the remake/remaster treatment.

UltimateOwnage245d ago

Twisted Metal: Black is when the series really hit for me. I still love that game so much. It was kind of downhill for the series after that IMO. I'd love to see the series go back to its roots, but I don't hold out a lot of hope for David Jaffe coming back from where he is these days to oversee development of a competent sequel.

Snookies12245d ago

Black was the pinnacle in my opinion. I adored TM1 and TM2, for sure. But Black brought it to a whole new level of awesome.

All I ask for is a new Twisted Metal that allows flat screen & PSVR2 cross play that also supports a wheel.
Would be heaven.

Babadook7681d ago

Wow. I like the idea of VR twisted metal with a wheel.

Rebel_Scum681d ago

They need to get the enemy AI balance right. Thats what made 2 the best in the series. Black was abysmal in that dept.

neomahi681d ago

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

TiredGamer681d ago (Edited 681d ago )

Isn’t the new GoW just a sequel technically?

I personally think they can leverage the roots of the series. The original TM in 1995 took place on Christmas Eve 2005, and it was the 10th contest in history. Why not “reboot” the franchise by making a prequel of sorts showing the origin story of the series and maybe linking all the future games in a brilliant way. Seems like such an obvious idea to leverage old with the new (kind of look how Doom 2016 did with its lore).

Knightofelemia681d ago

Just make it a good game Twisted Metal has it's fan base.
