E3 2011: TWISTED METAL - Trailer and Iron Maiden Gameplay Demo
I haven't played a Twisted Metal game since the original Playstation. I enjoyed playing it back in the day, but I as fun as this new Twisted Metal game looks, I just don't think it will be something I will be picking up to play. There are so many other great looking games out there that I would rather play, and I just don't have a lot of time. So, sorry Twisted Metal, vehicle combat is cool and all, but I think I just outgrew you.
The game is set to be released on October 10th 2011. Check out the trailer and gameplay demo below , and tell us what you think. How do you feel about the new Twisted Metal game? Do you see yourself picking up a copy?
Here are some more details on the game:
The story is confirmed to take the same direction as the previous titles, with players competing in Calypso's tournament in order to earn their prize. There will be only three playable characters in the campaign - Sweet Tooth, Dollface, and Mr. Grimm - but each can use any vehicle. Each character will have three endings, depending on the difficulty.
The game focuses heavily on multiplayer combat, including various online game modes with up to 4 player split-screen, and 16-players online. For example, the Nuke Mode is a new online game mode where you choose a faction to play against an opposing faction. In this mode, each faction has a giant metal statue that are being held in the air by a helicopter, which the opposing team must try to destroy. In order to destroy these statues, the player must abduct the enemy team's leader, then sacrifice the leader to a missile launcher that will, in turn, launch a nuclear missile. The person who sacrifices the leader and launches the missile has to control it to hit the opposing teams statue in the air. In order to win, the opposing team has to repeat the process 3 times before the statue is destroyed for a team to win. Four factions have been revealed so far: the Clowns, the Dolls, the Skulls, and the Preachers. The former having been announced as being inspired by Sweet Tooth and Dollface respectively. The latter are assumably led by Mr. Grimm and The Preacher respectively.
Other game modes include Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Last Man Standing, in which each player has a specific number of lives and the last remaining player wins.
