Was it kino?
Considered the best in the series
Yeah
>black
>considered best in the series
nigga what? by who?
no one ever talks about black
Black is the best out of the series though
Easily the entry with the most people behind it claiming it's the best, here and elsewhere
Twisted metal is a game that couldn’t exist today, only existed because ps1 days were the Wild West before video games got the corporate treatment.
It's tied between two and black imo, both games seem to be spoken about quite a lot by fans of the series.
Yes, 2 is a close second.
wasn't there one on PS3?
How was it? (never played the series)
Shit, only had like 4 playable characters.
You can blame Sony for that one, tm2012 was supposed to be multiplayer only but they told the devs to shove in singleplayer at the last possible second. Then again I doubt it would have done as well as it did with just mp only.
Amazing game, second best in the series behind 2
Gotta agree, 2 and Black are peak TM in my opinion.
this post is correct
No love for head on?
>tfw the ps3 title killed all chances of a sequel
>yfw you realize car combat is a dead genre and nothing can bring it back
It hurts.
Didn't get enough playtime with this to form a real opinion. Never owned a PSP so I only got to play it a little bit on a friend's. By the time they released it for PS2 I'd forgotten about it.
Great game, got it for 3 bucks on the ps4
It's great but it's literally just feels like world tour remastered for ps2.
How did he get away with it?

It's a direct continuation from TM2. 3's endings were garbage, and 4 was even worse.
Played tm2 recently, it's still a lot of fun. Also head on was originally supposed to be a sequel to black but got dropped at the last second and then turned into what it is now. It's the official sequel to WT, the only reason it feels off is cause scott cambell was behind the project.
TM2 = Black, everything else is shit
The one thing that really pisses me off is there is no consistent continuity with twisted metal. 1, 2 and head on is the closest we got. Would love to see what agent shepards deal is.
>watched jaffes stream the other night for the cut live action endings in tm1
>tfw he was basically reliving his glory through the stream
He's a cuck but I genuinely feel bad for him, tm was his baby and he knows there's pretty much no chance of it coming back ever since Sony got the rights and car combat is a dead genre cause zoomers rather play whatever fotm garbage is out.
He brought it on himself since he always makes it so difficult to work with him. Dude walked out on god of war and TM more than once iirc.
Black is just 2 but better. Sure the grimdark stuff is dumb but all of the gameplay aspects are superior.
4 is an alright game, head on is fun but flawed, never tried small brawl. 1 seems so pointless now and 3 is dogshit.
Interesting fact, the powerplants level is a remake of LA from tm2.
Twisted Metal games were never good. It was a cool concept for a game, but the actual gameplay controlled like ass and was never fun.
Half true, tm1, 2, black and head on are the only good games. Also if the controls are your only complaint then git gud.
The original normalfag series. Aw yeah, FUCK YEAH, METAL MUSIC AND FIGHTING CARS.
>almost 20 years have passed and it still hasn't been topped
Well we haven’t gotten any new games in 8 of those years
2012 was fine, it just suffered from being half finished.
I think we can all agree it's a tie between TM2 and Black for second place behind the true GOAT Head On
And it will probably stay that way since vehicular combat is a dead genre.
Head on is good but it will never top tm2.
youtu.be
>YEEAAAAAAAH
What did he mean by this?
Head on is quite literally black but reskinned as tm2.
God I fucking love the ps1 tm games.
AXEL POWERRRRRRRR!
I never played twisted metal as a kid because the covers were too edgy for me. The only one I’ve played is 2012 which I put several dozens hours into, it’s pretty good imo though hilariously unbalanced
My nigga axel was OP as fuck in tm2.
>tfw you're so retarded that you unironically enjoyed Small Brawl
That's cause the devs abandoned it a few months after release.
Kinda weird to think that 5 of its 8 games were on the same console
That's not Head-On.
>only spoke through code
Was it autism?
Yeah, the only one TM I ever played is Small Brawl, no clue if it was good or not. I'm anxiously waiting to see if I'm allowed to like it or if I'm a filthy casual for remembering it fondly.
No just lazy writing cause the game was finishing up development at the time.
I grew up on TM4 before I knew better, and I don't give a fuck what anybody thinks, I still think it's a good game. Black is the best TM though.

Surprised we never got an ambulance as a vehicle. Though I suppose the most iconic vehicle (Sweet Tooth) is of relatively similar shape
You gotta give dave credit, he actually came up with an interesting twist in the story despite not having enough time to fully expand on it. Also minion was based as fuck.
i never tried twisted metal because it scared me as a kid, so i stuck with Vigilante 8 instead
Tm2012 had meat wagon either though it was very clearly supposed to be shadow that was cut at the last second.
I never played Head On much, but I prefer my TM to be edgy. pic and video related
youtube.com
My dad didn't let me play that game on his ps2 but let me play Drakengard, who figures.
Yeah I noticed that too, it's the same model as mortimers hearse from 2.
One on PS3 probably played the best mechanically but the multi was totally broken and they just never bothered to fix it.
2012 multiplayer and general gameplay kicked ass. There was a ton of mechanics and depth. Its servers were pretty shoddy though. I remember playing the open beta with Yas Forums
Nah, they were fun.
For me its
Black>2>small brawl=head on>4>3>1
I always thought this was done by trent reznor, it's sounds industrial as fuck.
TM4 is legit good. 3 is really the only bad PS1 TM game.
Singleplayer was shit, had they had more time to flesh it out it would have been way better.
That makes it better, Black was edgelord shit.
Fuck that the corporate side of game design fucking sucks. He got his money and hes good, he wasnt going to enjoy working under those conditions anyway. Dude should just kickstart his own car combat game and put a team together. However i know he mentioned in that twisted metal retrospective/interview series that small independent teams have their own issues.
He talked about 2012 and how the team was small and left mostly to their own decisions and he found it harder to shoot down bad ideas like the racing segments since there was no corporate to rely on.
DIG THROUGH THE DITCHES
black>2>head on>4>tm2012>1>3>tiny>
Yeah i know. I didnt care much though i was hype to be able to play huge matches online since i never got to play black online
Honestly you can chalk that up to being sony's fault since they kept telling them to add more shit despite not having enough time.
I mean... at least Rob Zombie was a playable character...
And I liked the ending where Sweet Tooth gets stuck chauffeuring that fat bastard and his family across the country, and he loses it and just drives their RV over a cliff.
People still play black online somehow and I think you can get a game going on the tm2 PC port.
Im sure. Thats just how suits are about everything. They rarely know shit about the media they produce.
I feel like vehicle based games aren't dead. Check out Rocket League's popularity
TM4 has some alright endings, while all of TM3’s was just the same 10 second mad lib shit
>your wish is to eat a pizza? Your wish is granted, but now YOU’RE the pizza! I thank you for playing Twisted Metal!”
I also really liked cel damage
And people wonder why sony games are so shit now.
Does anyone even play rocket league anymore?
>Warthog's driver wants his old head to match his young body
>somehow this translates to his severed head getting put in a jar
I don't get it
I loved the destructible environments.
TM3 plays like shit though. You can be right behind someone and still have a fire missile fly under them as they bounce into the air. You can turn while stationary. All the cars are super flip prone, which feels like shit. All of the controls in TM3 are fucked due to it being made on some rally car engine.
>you can turn while stationary
Cars behave like that in all tm games.
It was dumb fun if you activated all the cheats.
Normalfags, all of you. You make me sick to my stomach.
