Will there ever be a TM game on xbox 360?

i was thinking xbox could start their own tm type franchise by calling it death race but movie licensed games ALWAYS suck so.. bad idea..  does anyone think there could ever be a tm game on xbox?  also its a shame the last one strayed so far from its roots,  there was barely any story at all, and the whole game centered around online mp which was really disappointing.     Angry

The series is owned by Sony. So as long as Sony owns the title, there is NO way it will ever be on Xbox.

Only if the PS4 flops harder then the Saturn and people stop buying PS3 games. Then Sony would probably just start publishing their games on other platforms. But i imagine if that happened the only gaming department in Sony that would survive is Sony Online Entertainment. So all we'd have is Planetside and Everquest.

A Twisted Metal MMO would be awful. No way they could ever do that correctly.

The day I see a TM game on the 360, is the day I can play Halo on a PS unit.

Hey! I know! I think we should invite Jesus and Satan to dinner one night just to get together and talk things out!

IT'D BE SO MUCH FUN!!

I would have laughed if this topic had been made in the 90's but as we all know Sega went the multi-plat route.

I think Sony is still safe for now (no.2 in the Big 3) but their TOP franchises as in the very high sellers- Gran Turismo, Uncharted and GOW don't sell nearly as much as MS's top level franchises.

Sales of games like Killzone, Resistance and of course TM aren't exactly in the multi millions lately.

A hypothetical situation without Sony actually going the Sega route would be to sell off their lower performing licenses to indie studios or other publishers.

Still unlikely right now but one of only 2 ways that I think you might ever see TM on a rival console.

Hasn't PlayStation actually surpassed 360 at this point? I thought I remember hearing that not too long ago.

It has beaten the 360 a couple of time in monthly sales. But that doesn't amount to much considering how long this console generation has gone on. In January the 360 absolutely smashed the PS3 and Wii in console sales. The 360 has beaten both the Wii and PS3 in monthly sales and overall sales.

I believe the 360 has enjoyed over 22 months straight as the top selling console.

Since Sony has entered the gaming market the PS3 is their least successful console in terms of profitability and sales. The PS2 is still beyond the PS3 in units sold. in fact in 2011 the PS2 outsold the PS3 on one occasion.

I've also heard the amount of money they have spent on developing the PS3 hardware and software for the system is still more then they have actually made with the PS3.

PS3's place in the Sony family is seemingly more to keep them relevant in the gaming marketplace. Not so much profit. It would be about profit if they could maintain the popularity they had for the PS1 and PS2. It's kind of like how the first X-box wasn't a profit, but it allowed Microsoft to enter the market legitimately with the X-box 360. Except that Sony isn't earning any cred with this.

This generation marks the first time they have had real direct competition from a corporation large enough to combat them on a hardware and marketing level.

The PS1 enjoyed an early release and at it's launch only had to compete with the Sega Saturn, this caused third party developers to flock to the system. The fact the N64 was cartridge based and harder to develop for boosted the PS1's third party support as well.  The PS2 had the same benefit except that it had to compete with the X-box during the end of it's life cycle.

The PS3 however released 2 years after the 360 launched for $599. It isn't enjoying preferential treatment from third party developers that the PS1 received. Also the power difference between the 360 and PS3 is minimal despite Sony's claims about the PS3's "raw potential".

I think the removal of backwards compatibility hurt too. The 360 at least has some compatibility going on. In the end Sony removed linux support and backwards compatibility. If Sony kept backwards compatibility in the PS3. People would be buying PS3's instead of PS2's and their numbers would probably suck less.

That is all going to change next generation though. They are going to eliminate backwards compatibility and used games. So the whole market is going to change again. It wouldn't shock me if the PS3 or 360 remain big sellers during this new generation.

Sorry to be pessimistic guys but I think that the next console generation will mark the beginning of Video Game Crash Mk. II

I honestly cannot get over MS and Sony locking out used games completely.

Time will tell...

But how do you sell PS2 Classics on PSN if people can just play them off of the disc?

Twisted Metal will most likely NEVER be seen on a rival console, unless Nintendo/Microsoft, or ever a third party publisher like Activision buys the franchise, like they did with Crash Bandicoot and Spyro, former PlayStation exclusives.  Twisted Metal PS3 barely sold over half a million physical copies, so I wouldn't count on anyone even wanting to try and buy it.

Right. Although that isn't their real reasoning for it. It's still part of their plan to make the most out of it.

It agitates me because on one end they are protecting themselves from the used game market. On the other end they do everything they can to try and sell you a 12 year old game for $9.99. Which is way overpriced as a used game retailer would probably sell the same title for $5.99 or even $99.

I hate the route they are taking because it's not going to be like Steam.

You won't be able to buy a game and then download it off their servers. You'll have to keep track of your disk and it'll have to be in the system to play the games. So while the game is only usable on your system once you activate it. I'm quite sure if you lose the disk or it gets damaged they won't let you simply download the title or order a new disk. You'll have to buy a second copy.

Not that i have a real problem keeping up with my disks. But it sure is convenient how i bought Skyrim and anytime i want it on my PC again i just have to download it off Steam. I could throw away the disk entirely and it would only stop me from installing the game with no internet connection.

The worst part is when the PS4 is out for a few years and you think to your self "Gee i'd like to play TM or Demon Souls again." It won't work and they probably won't bother porting the game for download either.

I absolutely can't wait until the PS3 is emulated. The Wii was cracked wide open about a year and a half ago. Mario Galaxy 2 in 1080p is fucking awesome. If they make it where i can play my PS3 games on my PC i might not even get a PS4 unless they make an actual Twisted Metal game for it.

I mean the 720 and PS4 are gonig to be identical anyways. So it's probably in my own best interest to simply steal PS3 games and buy X-box 720 games and not even touch the PS4 at all.

I really seriously cant wait for the Vita to get cracked. There are no fucking games on this thing. If the PS4 is like the Vita then you won't be missing out on anything because there will only be like 4 games for the system for the first year it's out.

If it weren't for Twisted Metal i would have never bought a PS3. It has nothing else that i want that isn't done better on the PC or better and less expensive on the X-box. I don't ever see my self going back to play any of the popular titles like Killzone, Uncharted, Infamous, or Little Big Planet. Also i thought MGS4 was terrible.

So i'd love it if TM was on X-box haha. We'd get good net code and it wouldn't be rushed to launch by the publisher.

No, there will not be a TM game for xbox 360, ever. If you want car combat on 360 you can play Full Auto & Vigilante 8 Arcade.
