    I have finished twisted metal 2 atleast 3 times with each car. My friends at school were making charts on how many times with each character we finished.

    It was my first ever ps1 game played. I did not owned it :( . I was way to poor so all my school lunch money went on playing ps1 in Internet cafe alike places.

    My first experince with twisted metal was twisted metal black while i was up my friends house , was awesome listening to all that metal music while blowing up each other :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 502 ✭✭✭Notorioux


    I absolutely love it! Had 20 and 3 on my first Nuke match. It takes time to get used to with the controls but once you get used to it. It's pure chaos fun! :D

    Death Warrant, Meat Wagon and Talon ftw!

    Must have put hundreds of hours into the original with friends from school playing split screen, used to love Spectre and Roadkill. Never played any of them past 2 though. Downloading the demo now will try it out later...

    Wow its out in 2 weeks!? Ive been so occupied with SWTOR that all console releases have left my mind altogether. Played the hell out of 2 back in the day when splitscreen was the big thing. Will pick this up....if i remember


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,315 ✭✭✭Big Knox


    It's alot of fun have to admit, only negative would be the control system is a little weird and takes getting used too!!

    Will pick up the full game as i'm sure theres plenty of days play in there between single and multi player.

    EU got screwed and TM: Black all over again!

    It was reported last month that Twisted Metal would release in Europe February 17th, just two days after the US release. According to Jaffe, this has now changed.

    According to David Jaffe and Other Twisted Metal Developers, the game has now been delayed until March 1st. This is due to localization issues. Along with this, the EU version will be seeing cuts, which isn't by choice. Content that is too "graphical" will be omitted out of the EU version of the game.

    This was all confirmed on a live developer chat hosted by Sonyrumors.

    Import confirmed!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,447 ✭✭✭richymcdermott


    What sort of ****e is that ?

    Too graphical my hole , this is coming from the same country the censored mk vs dc joker fatality in the usa ...
    Get the **** out of here ,

    The game is not even that graphical compared to mortal kombat and gears of war ..

    How much will importing from the usa be ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 502 ✭✭✭Notorioux


    I'm not going to bother importing, buying usa psn card for future dlc's and creatin' usa acc just to activate the online pass! This is just pure of shyte!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,447 ✭✭✭richymcdermott


    According to jaffe 99% of the cuts come from the cutscene in the game , from his words all the graphical images will be cut but you can hear the screams , noises and everything -___- im dissapointed


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,459 ✭✭✭T-b0n3


    Loved this back on the PS1, used to play it all the time with my friends on splitscreen.

    Looking forward to this.

    Tried to download it there but the store is down for maintenance. I'll give it a play tomorrow.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 54,957 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    Cant believe psn is still down

    ffs

    Does this ever happen Microsoft?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,382 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    This was going to be a purchase, but with the cut-scenes cut again, it won't be. It ruined the single player part of Black, and it will ruin this. I'm fookin ragin. May pick up a US copy.

    I'm sh!t sick of this.

    Edit: Just read this, and while it doesn't seem to be as bad as Black, it's still cuts. Seriously tempted to move to America* because of the know-nothing tw@s governing what i can and can't watch!

    *not really


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,929 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    Is American version not cut? So us in eu ar pussies?!

    It's 18+ game anyway, why the **** to cut it?!?!?!

    I blame germany :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 54,957 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    Can someone try to download this game now, please. It just won't download for me, I click download and goes to another screen and nothing happens.

    I reckon that maintenance ****ed up psn


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,095 ✭✭✭Liamario


    I'm going to import. The question is; if I use the online pass on my US account, then can I play online on my EU account. The accounts are linked.

    I downloaded it around 12pm today and I'm playing it now.

    Was always a big fan of Twisted metal. I played TM2 it on PS1 many years ago. had pc version also, but there was somethings left out of it.
    Played the ps1 version on emulator on PC also when I no longer had a PS1. Works quite well. I did like TM1. Not so much TM Black. (also there was no end sequences at all due to the european edition getting censored) I had to use swap-magic to play Twisted Metal Head On Extra Twisted Edition on the Ps2 as it was region locked to the states. This was like the real sequel to TM2.

    The Demo for the PS3 was very good. I will definitively be buying this.

    I blame germany :(

    Maybe someone can enlighten me but I don't think I've come across a game that's censored for the EU but not the US before.

    First thing I thought of when I heard this news was those damn Germans :p


    Seriously though its pretty annoying if their extreme paranoia about video games is gonna start effect the rest of us in the EU.

    That's bollocks :mad:

    How do you feel about someone, somewhere, deciding that you, Mr Richy McDermott, from Ireland, of age.. are not permitted to witness levels of virtual violence within "just another video game".
    What are yo going to do about it?



    .. Thats what I think when I hear about censorship. Who the **** says I cant look at something?? WHO THE **** LOL


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,929 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    so guys. when is it released? i heard they are pushing it back to march?

    if i get US version, will i have to play multiplayer on US servers too? Us account etc?

    that censorship bullcrap is really get me at this stage...

    I ordered the US one and should have it this week. With regard to the online pass working across accounts of different regions- Uncharted 3 works in this regard.
    I will update when I know for sure that it works, but even on NeoGAF, it is taken for granted that once you unlock it on your US account, it should work on all your sub accounts (even if they are for different regions).

    Let us know how you get on m8. Where did you ordered and how much it worked out?

    That's not metal. I was looking forward to clicking a button to remotely shoot a bullet at a truck in a desert somewhere.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,532 ✭✭✭WolfForager


    I still applied, can't do any harm! (other than to the truck)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,929 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    So how are the delivery times from that place?

    not very impressed with this so far, but im not going to commit to any opinions just yet. another 5 or so hours of play needed to get a more well rounded view of it

    his location is Toronto , so game released there yesterday.

    some widely varying scores for this. it would only be the multiplayer i would be interested in anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,929 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    I watched gttrailers review and honestly... I was not impressed. It looks really better at demos, gameplay trailers etc.

    Add censorship on top of it and I might pick it up only later on in bargain bin :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,661 ✭✭✭✭Helix


    review up now in about 10 minutes, just running through the Vita setup and applying the system update before finishing if off. it's gonna disappoint a lot of people i think


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,929 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    Vita or twisted metal?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,661 ✭✭✭✭Helix




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,540 ✭✭✭✭2smiggy


    *platform PS3

    signed

    pedantic pat


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,661 ✭✭✭✭Helix


    ahaha sorry about that, ticked the wrong box

    fixed


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,929 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    Well, I really disliked when they scraped old style: 1 car - 1 story - 1 wish. It had a huge potential for reply. I finished twisted metal 2 with each car multiple times. This one looks like has no reply value at all :( .

    I am not really interested in multiplayer so I guess there is **** all in here for me :(
