I don't get where people would get he's going to rape her?
Serial killer's like Jason,Freddy and other's always's grab thier victim's and they don't rape them people need to get thier heads out of thier a$$.

Abash5136d ago

That just shows how sexist some people are, relating rape to her cause she's an attractive female

plb5136d ago (Edited 5136d ago )

Yeah the world is a screwed up place today. People always assume the worse. The other day I was watching a movie from the 50s and it was amazing. Some of the behavior in that movie may be seen as odd today and people may think your a pedo when really just nothing at all.

BiggCMan5136d ago

Fuck those sexist people, TWISTED METAL PS3 IS COMING OCTOBER 4TH!!!

MintBerryCrunch5136d ago

had he sliced her head off with that ridiculous sword, there would be no story here

decapitation A-OK!!

assuming something....RAPE!!!!!

Winter47th5136d ago

I don't know which is worse, that people neglect the fact he's got a freaking chainsaw in his hand, or that rape is worse than brutal murder. Those complaining are attention whores that's all.

captain-obvious5136d ago

thats how i like my Twisted Metal .... Dark
keep it as it is

and keep away

and i hope Jaffe makes us some sort of a spin off adventure game talks about sweet tooth and you play as him to know more about his story and more dark secrets about him

antz11045135d ago

@ Captain,

I agree, Black was my favorite one and that game was DARK.

I think its pretty sad that ppl are perfectly fine with the whole "creepy flaming-head chainsaw-wielding clown killer". But then a random scene gets confused w/ rape and everyone goes "WHOA, WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?!"

LMAO, I love Twisted Metal

hay5135d ago

Lol, this game is all about vehicle mayhem and destruction, and they imagine rape in there when there's one pretty much psychopatic murderer and defenceless woman?
Haven't they watched Friday 13th or Halloween? I think those people are sick imagining things that aren't there.

Yeah, but usually when confronting their victims the two you mention have skewered them in or before the face off. They don't further slink towards them going to eye level as if saying, "what some candy little girl." in fact they don't speak.

Did I mention the kill you as soon as see you thing?

Also, its not like it part of the full game. Just don't that specific segment on TV because you know it'll attention then.

RememberThe3575135d ago

But think about the perspective of the guy making the trailer. The point was probably to show Sweettoth about to kill the girl. If your not even thinking about rape your not going to see it. I didn't see it. I saw it as Sweettooth about to pick up the guy before he kills her. They didn't want to show that so they only showed him about to pick her up.

And frankly that should be theissue not this made up rape issue. Sweettooth kills a young girl and everyone scream rape? What the fu--?

Bravo45136d ago

David Jaffe doesn't need to explain shiznit to anyone!

roadkillers5135d ago

@Dart89

(Spoilers) Actually if I'm correct Freddy did rape some of his victims. Thats why the parents burned him alive. If I am incorrect someone please correct me.

Anyways it looked like Sweet Tooth was trying to intimidate the girl before going for the kill. For the most part it seems like only a tiny amount think the scene looked like rape.

TheLastGuardian5135d ago

Yeah, I don't think there would be rape in a T rated game. Whoever is creating controversy over this probably doesn't know shit about games. At least Twisted Metal is finally starting to build hype but this is not the kind of hype it needs. No matter what happens, I'm going to buy Twisted Metal day 1.

It disgusts me how oversensitive people are nowadays.

DrVosknocker5136d ago

Yup, don't know if you agree but on a somewhat related note. I HATE how people are more offended by a naked body than violence...but this will probably never change. I'm raising my kids with boobies and westerns, kinda how I was raised.

SSKILLZ5136d ago

Igree 100%. That scene was ACE , <3 brutality oh and if it was a rape scene better that shit is a turn on . Cry much all those sensitive girls.

Finger-Eater5136d ago

You get turned on by rape? Weird...

cobra45135d ago

dude that was so weird...lol

spunnups5136d ago

I love Jaffe I hope that these idiots don't deter him from creating a non censored Twisted Metal Universe. The lastest trailer was exactly how I envision this franchise ala Twisted Metal Black

Focker4205136d ago

The new Twisted Metal is rated Teen, so don't get your hopes up. They said that they wanted to reach a broader audience.

Bathyj5136d ago

Jaffee said it before I got the chance.

When you say something like that, you telling us more about your own mind than what you're commenting on.

And I can believe that THAT trailer is a big deal when Hubert on Family Guy is a blatant pedophile, but cos its a cartoon its all ok.

rdgneoz35136d ago

The trailer is fine the way it is. As for Herbert, I love his song http://www.youtube.com/watc...

RememberThe3575135d ago (Edited 5135d ago )

Thats exactly it. While I see a girl almost about to die they see a girl almost about to get raped. It seems that they have some things they need to work out.

Bathyj5135d ago

Yep. When you see an 18 year old girl walking with a short skirt, I see see an 18 year old girl with no skirt.

That speaks volumes of ME, not the girl.

v1c1ous5136d ago

sounds like making mountain out of mole hills.

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

Cacabunga213d ago

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

Dagexon213d ago

You mean the one on ps3?

Cacabunga212d ago

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

badboyz09213d ago (Edited 213d 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.

InUrFoxHole213d 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

TiredGamer213d ago (Edited 213d 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.

InUrFoxHole213d ago

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

FinalFantasyFanatic212d 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.

UltimateOwnage213d 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.

Snookies12213d 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.

Babadook7649d ago

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

Rebel_Scum649d 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.

neomahi649d 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

TiredGamer649d ago (Edited 649d 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).

Knightofelemia648d ago

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