Am I the ONLY one who has never heard of Twisted Metal before?

[Tharwen]

I believe I may have once watched someone play it on a PSP, but when I first saw it at E3, I had no idea what they were talking about.

You are not alone, comrade!

 

[LWS666]

360 and PC gamer, never heard of it.

 

[TheColdHeart]

I remember playing it years ago at a friend's house and being drawn to the creepy clown character with a head that was on fire and the fact it was a violent racing/shooting game made it appealing as an impressionable child.

To be honest I saw the E3 gameplay and thought it looked a bit rubbish really.

 

[Marter]

You are never the only one.

I've played them, and remember really enjoying them when I was smaller. Haven't played them in years though.

 

[notyouraveragejoe]

No. You are not. Definitely not. I mean while I love the entire series (like the whole series for eternity and ever and ever and ever...it is the one thing I'm going to be fan boyish about) I was pretty much the only one in my group of friends who knew about it. And since this is the first I've heard of it: A NEW TWISTED METAL!?!?!?! THIS IS GOING TO BE FUCKING (PARDON MY SWEARING) AWESOME!

 

[ayuri]

i think its one of those things only a select group of gamers know like psychonauts

 

[chinangel]

I always found twisted metal to be kind of meh.

 

[sigma2]

Twisted Metal.
Ah, the memories...

Destroying an entire city, psychotic clowns with blazing fires on their heads, a transforming ice cream truck that turns into a towering mech, the horrible news that 5 or 6 people from the development teams had been killed in a plane crash. Ah, the memories.

 

[Replay107]

"Twisted metal: World tour" was my favourite game on the playstation, I can't beleive so many people haven't heard of the franchise.

Sweet Tooth?...the killer clown in the ice cream truck?...you really don't know?!
GAH!

I remember the first game had this awesome cockpit view, which they took out of the other games, well to my knowledge any way, I never played "Twisted Metal: Black".

Got to love a game where you blow up famous landmarks and discover secret treats hidden underneath.

 

[Double A]

Never heard of it either, and I was a PS2 guy.

 

[muckinscavitch]

I have never owned a PS, but my friend and I have great memories playing twisted metal on his original PS. Good times. Quite excited for this release.

 

[anaphysik]

I played it on a friend's PS as a kid (N64 guy myself). It was alright, but I seem to remember it not quite being quirky enough for me to enjoy the actual racing bits of the game; I had no idea it had such an apparently large fanbase, though.

 

[ImprovizoR]

Some of you guys are too young to have heard of it I guess. Twisted Metal was the shit back in the days of good old PS1. My favorite was always Twisted Metal 2. The game was awesome on adrenaline.

 

[elcamino41383]

As far as I'm concerned, Twisted Metal 2 was the only one that was remotely worthwhile. They just kept messing up so badly after that one

 

[p3t3r]

i always remember seeing that creep clown in advertisements and such with the little m in the corner i don't know how he could not have been recognizable i wasn't even into video games yet and i still knew

 

[dancinginfernal]

I own all of the Twisted Metal games, even the shit ones.

They're in my bureau gathering dust. When I saw this I came. Just a little.

Twisted Metal was my childhood, and I'm looking forward to the new one.
