Fact sheet:

OVERVIEW
Twisted Metal®, the longest running franchise in PlayStation® history and the multi-million selling series is now back, exclusively on the PS3TM system. David Jaffe and Scott Campbell, co-founders of Eat Sleep Play and the original creative team behind Twisted Metal, bring back the dark humor, fast-action gameplay and a world of cars, guns and destruction.

With four factions battling for control, players step into the combat boots of a twisted disciple in a high octane, highly destructible world. Players fight for the prize of one wish fulfilled by the stylishly evil Calypso, the mastermind behind the Twisted Metal tournament. Disciples strategically dismantle opponents in vehicles loaded with weapons of Twisted destruction.

With a robust online system, players unleash destruction with up to 16 players through PlayStation®Network (“PSN”) and battle through a variety of favorite and new game modes.

Twisted Metal carved out its own unique gaming genre. No other title has Twisted Metal’s perfect mix of dark humor and personality along with massive destruction in a distinctive atmosphere and vehicles and weapons that act as extensions of each character.

STORYLINE
High atop his penthouse office, a mysterious ringleader named Calypso lords over the contest of vehicle combat known as Twisted Metal. He returns again to host the ultimate contest of skill and destruction. Contestants have been chosen to compete and, should they emerge victorious, win whatever prize their heart desires.

What's up?

GangstaNip my mind as to how stupid of a move those moves really is. How a gaming company could make such an error in judgment. (0 minute ago)
GangstaNip I won't defend them. Matter of fact, I knew what the press conference would be like. It was what happened afterwards that bothered the hell out of me. They basically confirmed the rumors which baffled (2 minutes ago)
bleachedsmiles its seems so retarded feeling the need to defend/attack products none of us actually own. (6 minutes ago)
MrWhite Well, I do tend to wait a bit before buying a new system. Well, more so as each gen goes on, so it's not getting caught up in a so called console war, I think people are getting more impatient (12 minutes ago)
Phaethon360 You're getting caught up in some console war nonsense. If Sony announced all of this stuff tomorrow, the next-gen would hold no interest to me. MS has confirmed all of this TODAY. (16 minutes ago)
MrWhite The other thing that irks me is the crying about CGI being shown instead of actual footage. This is 2013 with new hardware and dev tools, right? (20 minutes ago)
MrWhite I'm glad I'm not the only one who recognizes that, bleached. And you are 100% correct about the internet. I don't know if gamers are getting more stupid or what... (21 minutes ago)
