David Jaffe Clarifies Twisted Metal Rumors
Yesterday, we had reported that David Jaffe’s next game may in fact not be Twisted Metal. Instead, Jaffe made it seem as though the title could be a new IP. Considering how vocal of a fellow he is, it comes as no surprise his personal website has been updated to clarify these rumors.
In the “What’s on Jaffe’s Brain” section of his website, Jaffe updated the area to address the Twisted Metal rumors.
Just to be clear, I’ve never said we were or were NOT making a new Twisted Metal. Ever. But just to be 100% clear, if we were to make a new Twisted, I would consider it a reboot. The last console Twisted was 10 years ago. If we were to make a new one, we’d be starting with the assumption that no one knows what Twisted Metal is anymore and we’d have to re-earn each and every fan the series ever had. So in that sense, IF we were to ever make a new one, we’d consider it a brand new series/game/franchise.
Do you think Jaffe’s next game is Twisted Metal? Post your comments below, and voice your opinion!

Yes its twisted metal.
If you’d just look at how he’s answering the questions you can already put it together. If someone wanted to deny a rumor they just simply deny it. With this your continually getting the run around. So by that logic you can already tell that its the game he’s working on now, or at the least the game is being talked about/shopped around. Just my 2 cents.
Who knows. Game developers are always unnecessarily cryptic.
Twisted Metal?? it wasn’t in the Hot game list in it’s era..mehh
dissapointed
I like the way he expressed the approach. I barely remember that game, so making it fresh from scratch seems like the right way to go about it.
thats acutely a smart idea. treat it like a new new franchise …
Aha! What a way to word your words, Mr. Jaffe. Yeah…it’s going to be Twisted Metal. HELL YES!
sounds like twisted metal is in the pipeline to me.
So its coming, at least eventually. Still sounds to me like its in the conceptual stages and they are finishing something else first.
Put two:
“Maybe with the sequel, usually the first ones don’t, you know you got to build your fan base and it’s gotta do well. But hopefully we’re on the road, one day we can get something like that for what we’re working on.”
And two:
“… if we were to make a new Twisted, I would consider it a reboot …we’d have to re-earn each and every fan the series ever had. So in that sense, IF we were to ever make a new one, we’d consider it a brand new series/game/franchise.”
Together…what do you get? Something that sounds a lot like Twisted Metal.
For me, that’s pretty much a confirmation of what it’s going to be!
I think Jaffe’s comments pretty much imply that the next game is Twisted Metal. His last comments were all about his next game being a new IP, and now in this one he just says that, “just to be clear,” if he was making a new Twisted Metal game he would consider it a new franchise….If that isn’t just a convoluted confirmation, I don’t know what is.
Your welcome PSLS.
That’s freakin awesome. Twisted Metal needs a total reboot. Hopefully it’s dark like Twisted Metal Black. I can’t wait. =)
I think he’s making a new one and it’s gonna be just like the old ones and the clouds are made of cotten candy and it rains chocolate and nothing bad Eeeeeevar happens! What I’m trying to say is.
I. REALLY. DO. NOT. F**KING. CARE!
IT’S A VIDEO GAME!
They talk like everyone’s going to burst into tears upon hearing this, oh dear? Not the same?! Is the ground sinking beneath our feet!
we well waiting for it )8
At least it won’t be Calling All Cars 2:Why is No One Online?..which is good news to me.
calling all cars is old…and ppl used to be on it all the time… u just late with the times robotron…as far as twisted metal…im always a diehard fan of tm…. see my name?? now u know where it comes from…TM2..
Twisted metal was always fun. It would be very interesting to see it with the potential of the PS3 behind it.
It sounds to me like even David Jaffe doesn’t know what game it is he’s making yet……………..
make twisted metal, it’s the logical thing to do since it’s an awesome game
All I can say is I can’t wait to see the new Twisted Metal game trailer debut this month or at E3
that there just confirms it is twisted metal.
judging what he said yesterday lead everyone to believe its a new series and since twisted metal is not a new series it could not be that.
but than here he is today saying that since the last console TM was 10 years ago he considered it to be a new series.
confirmed davids new game is indeed twisted metal and i for one could not be happier!
grab a brain SpeCtR it was a joke….what are you 12 and need someone to bully?
step out from behind the screen anytime boy and we’ll see how big you talk
I think what he means by a reboot is as what most of the users have said it confirms that it is Twisted Metal but i would like to add that it might be considered as a remake of the series or it could mean that there is going to be a change in the gameplay of Twisted Metal and not only being a car combat game but also as a sandbox car combat game.
it is hinted by David Jaffe that if he had the chance to work on God of War 3 he would have changed it to be somehow hold the same ideas as Zelda and Darksiders
so he might have considered that with Twisted Metal.
It would be great if a new TM was in the works… and the rumor mill has been turning a lot recently.
@Robotron
He tells you to get with the times, so you challenge him to a real actual fight, BUT he’s the 12 year old bully. YEAH OK. Maybe make sure you aren’t overracting before you try and be a “man” and challenge someone to a fight over nothing.Hell, I’d PAY to see if you were “man” enough to go beat someone up for calling you old, I’m sure they would put something that heroic in the paper.

@SpeCtR
My favorite character too…lol

oh nooooo please tell me theyre wrong what happened to the dark past documentary leaving a code saying metal coming on psthree i once had a dream my ps3 had a copy of a new twisted metal game in it it was an amazing dream please jaffe make the game happen we dont need any new ip’s just make a remake of the original twisted metal with some new cars and locations and some awsome stories kind of like twisted metal black but more modern
I definitely hope that a new Twisted Metal is born. I always wondered why they stopped coming…
Its Twisted Metal rebooted for PS3 meaning its a brand new IP for PS3 even though its not really a new franchise but given what Jaffe posted he would consider it a new franchise as he would start fresh.
Can’t wait to see it!
