Twisted Metal Coming To PS3!

Linkin Park Fan | February 07, 2008 | News | Playstation 3 
Twisted Metal: Head on just came out to the PS2 the other day. This is a port from the PSP version. But what made this special is that there was an encrypted message in the game. David Jaffe hinted that Head On would hint at his new project. Well it wasn't long before it was decoded, with the project being a Twisted Metal game for the PS3.
When David Jaffe released Twisted Metal Head On: Extra Twisted Edition he promised that there was a hidden message in the game that would reveal the next project for Jaffe's Eat Sleep Play development studio.

Well it may have been "hidden really, really, really well" but you know how hardcore fans can be. A group over at Gamefaq managed to decipher the message in record time, discovering that it reads: METAL IS COMING ON PSTHREE.

I contacted Jaffe, who's hanging at DICE this week, to see if the gamers were on the money and he confirmed they were, adding his chagrin at how fast the code was discovered and cracked. Unfortunately, he hit me with a big fat no comment when I asked him if the upcoming PS3 version of Metal was going to be hitting the console via a disc or as a downloadable.

"As for how it gets distributed, no comment :)"

    So it's the same game that was on PSP? I love the twisted metal games, I wish they would make a new one.

    No, this is a whole new Twisted Metal game. To just make a PS3 port would be terrible for Jaffe's reputation. This accounts for one of Jaffe's three unannounced PS3 exclusive projects, wonder what the others are...?

    YES!

    I've been waiting for this since Black, which was a pathetic seven years ago. I'm extremely happy at this, since Twisted Metal 1 was the first game for PS1 I ever played

    Hopefully it's dark and demented like Black.

    @Deadman - yeah...you really didn't read it very well, did you? The recently released PS2 Twisted metal game was a port from the PSP version...and it was stated that a secret code was hidden in it >_> This code revealed a new twisted metal game for the PS3...

    I'm interested, at least, if it is a disk based game...I played a couple twisted metals on the PS1

      Well considering somebody asked him whether it would be on a disc or downloadable led me to believe it was a port of a PS2/PSP game. I didn't know some NEW PS3 games could be available for download but not sold in stores, I don't own a PS3. The hidden code said "METAL IS COMING ON PSTHREE." It really doesn't say anything about a new game.

      I wasn't sure so I asked if it was new or not, notice the question mark after the first sentence. Maybe you should re-read it. >_>

      I'm hoping that it's good, I want to get a PS3 by the end of this year and this will be one of the first games I get probably.

    NO WAI, i mean who didn't think that wasn't going to happen?
    He did promise 3 exclusive titles, it would make sense one would be on the PS3, given its superior hardware.

    I'm just sad that we have to wait so long for all our big titles. But patience is a virtue.
