If you played Twisted Metal in it’s heyday, you undoubtedly caught a case of nostalgic excitement from the teaser. If this is accurate, then I hope you’re sitting down because the next video is from the conference and it details the game by demonstrating multiplayer deathmatch, new additions, and even has a guest appearance from Sweet Tooth himself!

A helicopter? 4-player split screen? 16-player online gameplay? True to the roots? Yep to all of the above! The direction feels like it will please old Twisted Metal fans and newcomers as well. It is evident that the developers are treating this franchise as their baby, as they are open-minded and interested in making it right. Jaffe explains more on his blog post:

The new Twisted Metal looks amazing and I’m optimistic about the next installment. The new additions look super fun while the game itself still feels familiar and exciting. I’m definitely looking forward to getting my mitts on the title.

Are you excited for Twisted Metal?
