Twisted Metal Black is on PS4!
12/05/15 at 18:42:20
 
Sony recently posted a blog post about how they're gonna start bringing PS2 games onto the PS4, and Twisted Metal Black is one of the first games being put into this program.

What's also super neat is that all games in this program are being upscaled to full 1080p, and every game is given trophy support!

You can play split screen with friends online over the PS4's share play feature though. You'd need a good connection to avoid input lag and whatnot though.

I'd like to try this out.

I just got the game, mostly for the Trophies.
Can you guys believe getting 10 out of 10 Zoomy missiles to land = a Silver Trophy?  Grin

I spent about three hours yesterday using the share play feature with TM:B and its amazing. It has an hour time limit that you have to reset but it doesnt kick you out of the game or anything, nothing more than a pause. The person I was sharing with said there was little to no input lag, and with a decent connection it's amazing multiplayer. Crazy to be able to play split screen hundreds of miles away.

My brother and I have put a decent amount of time into the game. I'd say it's a pretty decent port and they even ported over the same issues the original version has (audio glitches). There are no slowdowns when there are tons of vehicles or tons of explosions going on.

Got every trophy except the final hidden one
Unlocking Minion (AKA beating the game with every vehicle)
, but that's about it.

Does the multiplayer team mode work with share play?  I ask because, if you used a multitap with the PS2 (allows more than 2 controllers to use used) you could play with up to 3 more people for a total of 4 player team mode matches. It would be awesome to do some 4 player team battles.

Edit: Well this answers that...

Yeah, from what I gathered its just one extra person. However, makes for some of the best online co-op in ages.

The most interesting feature to me is the possibility to do split-screen co-op. For that, seeing the other player's screen and inventory isn't an issue, but actually beneficial. It would definitely be cool for two vets to hook up and speedrun the story, since I can imagine how fast two seasoned players could beat it. Otherwise, seems to be nothing new or exciting. I do like me some trophies though. Pretty funny to see only 2.0% have unlocked Minion thus far.  Cheesy

Very sad to see there is no online play, but the upscaled gameplay looks amazing!  I might pick this up very soon to run down memory lane with the little ones.

Once again, the Europeans get screwed with a toned down version that does not have story cutscenes.

Yes, I have to say, this continued crap on Black done to Europe just blows my mind.  I wish every TM fan in Europe would write them with rage because it is SO stupid.

By the way, the US version is semi stupid too.  It has awesome new share play features, which I like, BUT IT DOES NOT SUPPORT 3 OR 4 PLAYER OFFLINE.

What the hell is that about?  That's simple programming.  The game itself . . . The one you DOWNLOAD supports it.  It says right in the menus and everything else.  They just didn't add emulation for the multi tap.

I see no reason to just leave off this awesome feature that was there from day one.
