TM THEORY?
06/04/10 at 14:48:40
 
Just a short and sweet theory on the new TM.
I'm not in the know so I haven't see it in recent years.

Could it be a whole new game that doesn't have the 'Twisted Metal' name in the title but it is a whole new game in the franchise?

I mean many sequels do this:

Quarantine > Road Warrior
Warhawk > Starhawk (maybe?)

A lot of the UK reviews I've read in the past didn't like TM because it's just 'DM with cars and little else'.

Well the reason for that is since the game's title revolves around a contest that is based directly on DM with cars it would be a bit off to call the game 'Twisted Metal' if the TM contest doesn't actually exist.

I suppose games like Quake II went totally against this rule since the character Quake didn't exist in Quake II.

Sorry I'm really having trouble wording this right.

Jaffe himself has stated not that long ago that any new game would be a 're-imagining' and I was thinking at the time along the lines of TMB with it being a re-am in its self of earlier TM games with all new takes on old characters etc.

Maybe now it's a completely new car combat game? He's mentioned at least one completely new mechanic that makes the game sound a little more like Rogue Trip or CaC.


So to cut this damn long (short)  story short the game could be called say 'Sweet Tooth- Carnage' or something and contain classic cars and drivers but be set in a whole new universe that doesn't revolve around plain car v car battles?

I mean surely there'd be a classic DM in there like the games of old but then older TM games had different game types as well but the focues in SP was always the DM gameplay.

My thinking behind this guys is it doesn't make him a liar at all when the game finally announces as technically ESP wouldn't be making a TM game after all but a whole new sequel to the TM franchise

This is completely me just thinking this stuff up though and I have no clue for def what is happening I'm just thinking a new game or 'franchise' as Jaffe has put it recently makes some sense.

It might help with sales here in the UK as well as since the Yanks among you will lap it up anyway while many Brits still seem to ignore TM.

This way the Brits think its totally new and you all know its directly related to Twisted Metal?

Just my theory and I'm sorry for really spreading the butter here when I probably could have just put on 1 dollop.

Its probably been talked about b4 anyway but it just seems the only way to make sense of Jaffe's recent statements.

Unless as many have already said: He's just doing damage control.

You're theories are perfectly logical and reasonable. I've also thought along those same lines and honestly there is good chance you are right.

I haven't really tried to pry any new info from my sources lately, but last I heard from someone I talked to who probably knows more and has more insider knowledge than all of us and is a long time fan of TM was that he couldn't talk about anything, but that he himself was very excited and happy with whats being done. I know all that is vague as shit but trust me when I say that that is enough for me. If he is happy with things being done then I'm sure I will and everyone else will.

no bother mate.

Just a bit of fun really.

I'm tired of all the waiting and false hope to.

If Jaffe isn't at E3 then this is probably just going to drag on for another few months.
