Jaffe Wants People to Relax, He “Hears You!”
While the surprise E3 announcement blew gamers away, now that Twisted Metal has been let out of the bag, people are already complaining. Even with a ton of information given out from Jaffe himself, gamers are all worried. We should take a hint from Jaffe and settle the… *eh hem* heck…down.
On his blog update, David Jaffe has vocally addressed the fact the new Twisted Metal may not have the most recognizable characters of the franchise. He just wants you to remember that characters do not equal gameplay.
“Please keep in mind this Twisted Metal single player and co-op will be more varied than ANY TM you’ve ever played. We are NOT doing GTA style missions or vehicle escorts and such BUT we DO have mechanics laid on top of the core campaign deathmatch that adds to the play varied so you don’t get bored. We also have more bosses than any TM game….So while you may be disappointed by the fact that there are currently no plans for Marcus Kane or Bloody Mary or No Face, please know that the one player/campaign game you DO get is going to be the best one we’ve ever made.”
Jaffe is very vocal about the support and input of the fans. He’d like to put in everything from every game, but you have to think in the realm of possibility. An incredibly idea exists and being able to implement it are two completely different things.
“We hear you. We talked about it at breakfast today and discussed possible ways to address the concern. Can we make those adjustments to the game in the time we have left? Not sure, no idea. But for those who respectfully voiced your issue, it is appreciated, the development and publishing team is aware of your issue, and we are looking to see if there is anything we an do about it. No promises at all. But just so ya know, ya’ll are being heard. And it’s appreciated.”
So just relax everybody! This is David Jaffe we’re talking about. He knows what he’s doing.

Jaffe may know what he is doing but the gamers he is selling to don’t. That is why CoD has not moved on from the current state of mindless remakes.
I think what people have to realize this game is that it isn’t meant to be a remake of the old games with the same characters to bring back the same “feel” you had when playing previous TMs. You should look at it as either a sequel with a completely different story or a re-invention.
Wait way wait… No Sweet Tooth…? Really?
Ehh people need to get there info straight before posting. This is a reboot basically just like MOH. So don’t expect the same characters from before. And yes Sweet Tooth is in here, it wouldn’t be Twisted Metal with ST. And remember Sony is holding the cards they decide what is to be release and which things would be in a game.
But Marcus Kane IS Sweet Tooth… O_o
i loved tm:black. actually for the single player campaign i would actually like to see all new characters with the creepy, twisted back story to them. Black did an awesome job with that. i hope they put ALOT of emphasise on the single campaigns. thats what im looking forward to the most.
@Westsiide
Yes I completely agree I really liked that about TM:Black that was something that really shined in that game I hope they do something similar in this game that would be GREAT.
TM IS GONNA SUCK BAD
Jaffe aint talking his way outta this one! still recall him saying
“im not making a new tm” &/or “im deff not at e3 this year”
what a fool…..
@lemmy78
shut up dude… and he said that because he wanted to keep the surprise…
@lemmy
and it worked didn’t it? I’m not making Twisted metal, do you think it’d be half as awesome seeing that ice cream van roll onto the E3 stage if we knew Twisted Metal was coming?
I have never experienced the Twisted Metal series before, so I am coming into this with no basis for comparison, but I love what I have seen of this new one. I am definitely getting it.
That was an awesome moment…..them cab drivers hinting at the possibility of a new twisted metal…letting every TM fan wonder…COULD IT BE??…. and than the fuckn melody started to play…….PRICELESS…..LOL
