Twisted Metal: Black's Strange Alternate Cutscenes

[@clarencegutsy7309]

I kinda like Dollface's original story more. Her father hated loud noises, so she decides to drive a huge truck with a blaring horn.

[@WillieManga]

Here's a little non-sequitur for you: As someone who hates loud noises myself, even I know there are better ways of dealing with it than abusing the source of it.

[@theskronklbeep]

plus it makes sense why she would hesitate to kill him. cuz why would she struggle to kill her boss when she's obliterated eveyone else?

[@nobalkain624]

Too me Baby Dolls is the one that hurts the most from the changes. Making it her Dad puts a whole other spin on her Story. It went from a confusing Story of how she let her Boss do this to her, to it being her Dad. Someone she trusted while she was still to young to fight back. Far more believable and tragic.

[@jak199527]

It really wasn’t confusing. The boss forced her physically. Now whether it’s better I won’t argue.

[@nobalkain624]

@@jak199527 Well it leads to many questions as to why she chose to work for a Boss that was that unhinged. To me a Child being forced to endure her deranged Father leads to less question and becomes easier to accept. I understand why they made the changes and had to just leave those Plot Holes due to limited time to tell the Story, its just that the Story is less bumpy the other way.

[@inuiri8365]

As a kid he always felt like her dad too, it makes no sense to change it to a boss

​@@inuiri8365 Cause back then Sony was strict. The creator of twisted and the team wanted them to stay but Sony higher ups wanted them out. Fun fact, in the UK version of Twisted Metal Black are all out.

And even if they're considered non-cannon, her having the mask put on so early makes more sense for her Harbor City/lost story of her head being crushed by the mask as she was still growing. Doesn't quite make sense a Collage age girl who had a job would still be growing.

[@Karanthaneos]

Sad they had to turn down the Dollface story. I understand they didn't want to put child abuse, but interestingly enough they may have also overcompensated by splitting their filial relationship. It could've been fine if they kept her at her college age and still make them family. It also lessened a lot the impact and consequences of her ending, from just killing a random asshole dude to killing her own father.

I still remember the beta cutscenes for the original. The talk about speaking over Black's ending just unlocked TM1 Calypso screaming "BLAAAAACK! BLAAAAACK! NO, BLLAAAAAACK!!!!" Iin my brain.

[@CassandraPantaristi]

The voice over is said to be Mr. Ash. Marcus Kane, Calypso and Black are the only ones aware of being inside Needles Kane's mind. The reasoning why Black is in Twisted Metal Black is because in the mind of Sweet Tooth, Mr. Ash as an entity just doesn't exist. In Darkside's Twisted Metal 1 ending, Mr. Ash wants his demon Black back. When he gets Black back, Calypso gets very upset. This is because Black is sent on a mission to kill a darker, more evil Calypso in the "Black" universe.

Pre rendered ps2 models tends to make a game come across as unintentionally creepy in my eyes like the orignal gow's cutscenes have this type of horror vibe to it that's quite hard to describe. It might be it's desaturated colors and low resolution that makes for a very uncanny look to it that makes it look quite harsh.

[@MrCnovalink]

something that may have also influenced the change in Outlaws ending, is the fact that he is killed at the end. It's already a pretty rough watch, but having the context of what he'd gone through already makes it far too cruel and mean spirited. I get that TM has twisted endings that can be darkly comedic, but having the real world connections take it from black comedy(?) to just depressing.

I have to say it's pretty interesting how Black and 2012 are dark and edgy in different ways. 2012 is pretty fun edge. It's almost cute in how hard it's trying to be dark and gritty. It's so over the top it becomes pretty endearing and goofy. Black is... definitely not that. It's honestly pretty disturbing and unsettling. But in a really fascinating way. It's very cool and, as someone who never played Twisted Metal growing up, makes me really want to purchase it off PSN

[@greed42o]

i wish they keep these in the 90s and 2000s were so edgy and dark i miss those days.

[@ThommyofThenn]

I was entirely too young to be playing this as a kid but my neighbor and I had great fun playing vs. against eachother. We found the story mode really scary! When I replayed it a few years ago in my mid-20s, it seemed much more "dark and edgy" but theyre still really well done and hold up today as highly atmospheric horror. Gameplay is a blast too obviously

[@praetorian9823]

For me personally, I absolutely think things like Outlaw’s original ending is necessary in storytelling media, depending on the tone of the story. Of course it’s important to be able to escape and forget about the world’s problems sometimes, video games are great at that. But they also can be great ways to explore things that make us super uncomfortable in a safer environment. Mafia 3 involves you playing as a mixed race man named Lincoln Clay in the 60’s in the Deep South. The entire game you’re subjected to the racism and hatred of that time, and it really helps sell the reality many black people had to live through. Many people forget about just how bad it was for black people at that time, and the prejudice they had to fight, using the interactive aspect of video games to give players a taste of that so they have a better understanding of what it was like is a good thing in my opinion. Don’t let people forget our history and all. Berserk is another great example for comics, or manga if you want to call it that. If you think Black is dark, Berserk… is something else. But instead of it being an edge fest of hate and nihilism, it’s really a story about trauma and healing, learning to love the world and accept that you can always move forward no matter how horrible your situation might be. It has r*pe, children being killed, horrific “gods” showing what the afterlife truly is, yet none of that is used to push some message of hopelessness or despair. What happens to Guts is tragic, horrifying, yet it never feels forced. Guts is at his worst in the very first arc, the Black Swordsman, but it makes way more sense why he’s such a jerk once you get to the Golden Age arc. It never excuses how he acted, but it *does* contextualize it, and make you understand just how much he’s had to suffer through, as he has to relearn how to love and care about the people around him. It’s a story of darkness and despair, and how Guts even through all that uses it to find the small beacons of light and hope. It’s a *heavy,* incredibly uncomfortable story, but Guts is often considered to be one of the best protagonists of all time for a reason. In truth, he kinda shares a lot with Kratos. He fights monsters and godlike beings far more powerful than any human could ever hope to stand against, yet he does it anyways, in his case, to survive. He had his “family”, or even, families, and watched as they all crumbled and died, almost completely breaking him mentally. He turns into a monster, someone consumed by hatred and rage, yet, similar to modern Kratos, he slowly learns to temper it, and realizes the importance of protecting the people he cares about. I think dark subjects are great things to explore when handled with care and grace, with an understanding of what makes them dark and depressing. Personally anyways.

[@LeMicronaut]

Yeah, I don't particularly get the aversion to any of the original plot or details that got censored. I'm not really buying the "but my cathartic escapism in the twisted world of serial killers, cannibals, cheating, and disfigurement." Much like how you described Kratos' character arc, Outlaw's is much the same and it really makes him a compelling character to identify with, no matter the race. You have an orphan who doesn't fall into a life of crime with the easy familial structure offered by gangs, but instead works the hard and honest way so that he can protect and serve. He's dissatisfied with the way the belligerent hate groups get handled with kids gloves and goes renegade to exact his sense of justice. That slow unraveling into being a loose cannon costs him his ability to love and leads to him misusing his force, shattering that sense of family he tried to secure. An unarmed mother and child are gunned down when he didn't have to, all because he decided to play the outlaw bent on revenge. The way the scene is setup is it seems like the mom and kid were part of the cult, but they were visibly not combatants and likely abuse victims. It's great writing cause Agent Stone's story isn't just about racism, but it's about exercising personal restraint in a world where 80% of the contestants are just seeking bloody revenge. The scenario with Stone's lynching backstory definitely seems more like a personal vendetta twist to the Waco siege/massacre against 'the doomsday cult' Branch Davidians, where the compound ended up being engulfed in flames, taking every family inside (86 dead). Lynching is extrajudicial killing. Vigilantism. Impulse. Mob rule. He was only sanctioned to take out the terrorists, not their families. His second chance is a return to a nobler police procedure. He keeps a cool head. His grip on the situation not clenched, but firm. He deftly uses lethal force only when necessary. This cautious grasp does offer criminals some wriggle room and he pays with his life that day, but his life, his peace, ended with his family dying in that fire. He pushed on long enough to try and ensure someone else could have it better. He sacrificed like a proper officer agrees to do, upholding the safety and liberty of victims before his own.

I wish they kept the more hardcore backstories and integrated them into the final product. Outlaw having flashes back to what happened when he was a kid and seeing these cultists reminded him of the bastards who killed his life. Raven(boy am I happy they changed her name) having more context to what happened would've been obviously better. Dollface having been wearing the mask since she was a child would've been more disturbing yes but make it feel more personal especially since it was her clearly deranged father. Axle, I agree the son would've made more sense seeing as how Sweet Tooth's whole thing is a clown driving an icream truck which would attract more kids than adults unless they made it to where both were killed by him at roughly the same time. For Grimm, changing the dude from Russian to some random white guy with a gold tooth that's a Veitcong advisor is just stupid since media at the time was still showing the animosity between the west(especially the U.S.) and Communist Russia. All in all I love Twisted Metal Black not for the gameplay but the world and its characters.

[@xXEmo54Xx]

with the baby drowning i kinda think of a very similar situation with dark souls 3 where they went into great great detail making a baby model and lots of sound effects along the lines of a baby being crushed and drowned viciously over and over while it was crying but they held back and just decided not to put it in the final release.

[@petarpoljak6918]

Didnt Bloody Mary killed the child at the beginning off her flashback, but was cut from the final release?

[@DrEarthwormRobotnik]

Yeah, but it’s very “blink and you miss it.”

[@turbaecarissimus9752]

I'm glad to see I wasn't just a giant wimp as a kid, because No Face and Sweettooth's intro's and endings scared the piss out of me. It took me months to sleep through the night again, no lie.

[@jpain5986]

The kid voice kinda sounds like it could be David Jaffe

[@Sleepyhollow3245]

Yeah they did, but when a game can shock you it's something to be impressed

[@shcdemolisher]

Yeah! Especially nowadays where almost nothing does because companies are too afraid to go controversial like this. It makes you miss those older days where games were bold and daring. Niche (or however you spell that word) in audience.

I remember playing this on the ps2 when I was 5 and my dad was surprised I was unlocking more levels and characters than he got to play

[@Matt-md5yt]

Sweet new Twisted Metal Content. Awesome

[@madmonty4761]

I mean dead space killed kids

[@SaveAwesomeMatt]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who was freaked out by the No Face cutscenes. I can’t handle facial injuries in horror films because that messed me up so much haha. I saw it at age 12 before my mom knew about game ratings so I got it for Christmas.

[@vladimirmuca849]

Fun fact, there are some flash animations made to promote the game

[@WillieManga]

And if Dollface did keep her original backstory, it would have made the decision to kill her father even more satisfying. I know, that's a weird thing to say, but it would show that she wasn't about to let even family get away with tormenting her. Kreel was just her boss; it would have been easy to punish him. There are abused people who value their family even if they abused them. Darkside's driver killing her father would have symbolized that if your family acted like that, you would be better off severing the ties. Granted you probably shouldn't kill them unless your life depended on it, but I still see the message of "if they don't value you, then screw them figuratively." Oh, and if he murdered her mother, that makes the revenge even better!

[@MisterMistea]

I honestly just thought we could've been in a world where potentially even more dark stuff was removed from the game, as if removing body horror, child murder, and white supremacy terrorism wasn't enough.

[@KaiKrimson56]

Unfortunately, we're living that world now.

[@E.J.W]

The little girl in Outlaws story is Dollface's original model, just with different hair.

[@devpashupati9168]

8:05 chris chan lmao

[@rufusblue8044]

Me and a friend played this game so much. We felt so badass lol

[@Chazzvc]

Son doesn't have to mean Kid though, If Axel is in his 40s, His son could have been a teenager or in his 20s. That didn't need to be changed so much as the baby being drowned by the priest.

[@Twelve_G_Shogun]

Bro the Yellow Jacket voiceover sounds exactly like Chris Chan 😂

[@baku5817]

Same lmao

[@MrSergayfgtxd]

21:06 why not? it's not like movies don't go there so why games shouldn't

[@sirphoboszoids]

At first I thought the voice for Black was Mr. Ash. But sounds like it’s supposed to be someone else who acquired black somehow. Very odd

[@melvinveenstra5485]

Shame that they cut the endings for the dutch market. But played this game till it didn't boot up. But now with a emulator i can still enjoy this great game with the endings included.

[@crack4184]

It was censored everywhere in Europe, which can be a part why TM never truly got popular in Europe
