Jaffe Contemplating Twisted Multiplayer Beta
When people think of the PlayStation brand and the many series that have best represented it over the years, Twisted Metal is one of the first to come to mind. The series revolutionized multiplayer mayhem with its absolute car destruction, over the top characters, and deadly attacks. There have been a total of 9 other titles in the the Twisted Metal universe, that is until David Jaffe, the creator of the Twisted Metal franchise, finally revealed the 10th Twisted Metal title in the series at E3 this past June. We got to try the freshly announced Twisted Metal at E3, but when will gamers get to try it out?
In a recent interview with 1up.com, Twisted Metal and God of War creator, David Jaffe was asked if there would be a multiplayer beta before the game’s 2011 release. To which he replied:
I don’t know. I mean, certainly we’re going to do a beta for such a multiplayer and online-heavy game, but in terms of if it’s going to be a public beta, or if it’s going to be more of a semi-private beta, which is more… Eat Sleep Play, Sony, some members of the press, or some hardcore fans. There’s a great website called Twisted Metal Alliance — those guys are the hardest of the hardcore Twisted Metal players. We’re definitely going to want to get them in if we can get their opinions. But in terms of if it’s pure public or a bit of the semi-private, that’s still to be determined.
Given the fact that Twisted Metal fans have been waiting since the launch of the PlayStation 3 for a true next generation release in the series, a multiplayer beta for Twisted Metal would be much sought after.

Playstation plus members better get it because thats the whole reason why i signed up 4 plus because i heard we would be a part of exclusive betas but 4 some reason i have a feeling we are gonna get shafted on that.
I think they should go with the Twisted Metal Alliance for the beta test with Playstation Plus subscribers. The TMA are the really hardcore TM fans and they would know what need to be tweeks or what need to be removed or added.
Meh… I hate how everybody thinks everything needs beta tested now…
It usually turns into a giant month long trial. Nobody reports bugs. Everybody just plays like they would had they purchased the game. Yea it helps balancing, but 99% of games that are beta tested are tweaked month after month even after being released.
If it needs , then do it. If it feels good as is, don’t.
Though, for some reason I’m getting the feeling this is more a PR stunt. Do we really need to know hes contemplating it? I didn’t really.
I would kill to get the BETA now but I would slaughter someone for the full game
Bring it on, you need to test the public servers. Week 1 connection problems are a real buzz kill.
@SolidCake_
exactly. That’s why we need beta tests
well lets hope if he does a beta that this will be one of those PSN+ betas we were promised
This game is gonna suck sausage..
