[@VicariousNickk]

TBH they gotta bring back "Create A Car" from TM4 in the next Twisted Metal. That feature SLAPPED

[@blueninjaproductions7816]

Also customization, I want my twisted metal vehicle to be painted the way I want it to be.

[@doom-c4h]

how about the driver view from TM1 returns in the new TM

[@doom-c4h]

in my opinion the sniper and the shotgun powerups looks cool in TM you are thinking of the RPG which is the reaper alt weapon which is slow

[@kehobrien999]

On the topic of cosmetics in the microtransaction thing, I think it would be cool to unlock different skins for characters via challenges just like back in older games. Maybe be able to unlock retro versions of Spectre or Sweet Tooth, for example.

[@Mach1_Supreme]

One thing I'd add is KISS Keep it simple stupid. Bosses don't need to be overly elaborate. Just a bigger vehicle that punishes you for being reckless and requires strategies to beat. Tm2 minion is perfect. Just a very armored vehicle with a powerful special that can rinse you instantly.

[@drvincemd]

I forgot about the acronym so at first I thought you were gonna suggest the band Kiss be added as part of the soundtrack which would weird but cool depending on the tracks

[@termsservice9396]

Solid arguments Nick. What I want most is new and interesting characters with cool storytelling. Many of the cars in 2012 were fantastic but lacked drivers like meatwagon and deathwarrent. Doesn’t have to be a full cast, just a few new faces.

[@williamjacob2060]

i did love the new cars and ye they could have had awesome twisted characters pun intended lol

[@terriblyterrified8742]

i love meat wagon PLEASE keep meat wagon why did it take them so long to weaponize an ambulance? it's perfect for the world of twisted metal

[@LuisEsquivel-do7xg]

Super Moon Buggy and Super Super Thumper, of course. Also, loved what TM3 and TM4 did about the AI aggressiveness, it truly felt like you were just one more contestant. Everyone battled each other, not just you.

[@urky420]

for the single player game mode id like the idea of making your own car

[@MRworldEtIkA]

what i want is the most real looking cars ever, like not straight-up Mad Max but rather "cars you see everyday reinforced with everyday things like trashcans, metal beams, concrete walls, or even another another car strapped to it with lots of chains, armor plates are placed in areas critical to the vehicle's like gas tank, cockpit, and engine bay" - one of the devs. im a mechanical engineer, and these things fascinates me.

[@darkside9547]

For a new Twisted Metal game, i hope we get to see 5 things: 1. Large cast of vehicles( All of them from all the previous games) 2. Tons of Battlegrounds ( Majority of them based on the previous games) 3. A mode called Twisted Challenge in which you play a set of challenges with specific vehicles and beat them with conditions ( similar to that of WWE games or Gran Turismo) 4. Create a vehicle setting ( That mode needs to make a comeback) 5. Edit your vehicle ( change there color, weaponry and design to give some sort of variety) or some sort of Krypt mode in which you can unlock stuff such as cars, artworks, content, etc. This new Twisted Metal game should be called Twisted Metal All Stars Mayhem.

[@dessadoo]

I appreciate the shoutout brother. Great ideas and great video!

[@DonathanXVI]

with the recent release of the live action show, i bet they could at least base the characters/cars appearances on the show, like roadkill being that wedge-y camaro and twister being gray and purple; it would help to draw in new potential players who only watched the show

[@nriab23]

@DonathanXVI 100% I've only watched the show. Although I've known of the game from the PS1 era. The show is by no means a 10* rated show. But what makes it great is that it's not trying to be. It's fun and seems to have lots if easter eggs. And a fun storyline.

[@nicolasbaez8678]

Skill base bonuses in weapons and specials like TMB and an option for randomized stages in tournament

[@Thomas01995]

Very minor thing I want to unlock characters in levels like black and small brawl

[@ShagthePoker]

2:45: I'd prefer how TM: Lost does it personally. Lost has it so you press Triangle and a d-pad direction to use the moves. This allows you to use the d-pad to drive, which isn't possible in 2012 4:10: I completely agree. Look at how many people complained about 2012's lackluster singleplayer. A good SP mode is something many TM players clearly value. 12:10: You can have characters with multiple special weapons and have it work, just look at Black. Trying to give every single character multiple specials is too much, I do agree with that. Limit it to just a few characters, and I think it can be used to make those specific characters feel a lot more unique. 15:30: Cohollow's not going to like that suggestion Seriously though, I'm fine with snipers, just remove the instakill feature. I'd like to add the ability to change your bindings like you can in 3 and 4. Also, I believe 2012 lets you switch out the default music for your own, definitely bring that back as well.

[@VicariousNickk]

cohollow HATE'S snipers though! He would love for them to be removed haha

[@ShagthePoker]

@@VicariousNickk I was trying to be sarcastic lol

[@VicariousNickk]

@@ShagthePoker Aww my bad, I have a case of the big dumb

[@ShagthePoker]

@@VicariousNickk All good, man.

[@drvincemd]

They could take a note from Street Fighter 6's Book and make it so you get the classic tournaments aka Arcade Mode but have the main story follow a Custom car you make, the cutscenes are shot from a First Person perspective like Need for Speed Most Wanted and have your wish be something simple like getting revenge or wanting to become the new Calypso or something. Hell throw im a mode where you fight other peoples custom cars

[@aarongaray2595]

Definitely agree with going back to the classic TM tournament style and comic book style endings. Different drivers for each vehicle I.E. pizza boy/Conner Nazang, thumper/Bruce Cochran, Mr.Ash/darkside, to name a few.

[@elmono6299]

Here's what I want to see in a new Twisted Metal game. Here's what I would love to see happen: 1. Bring back all the vehicles from Twisted Metal 1, 2, 4, Black, Head-On, Lost, and the 2012 reboot with their own respected drivers. The new vehicles from the 2012 game will get their own unique drivers. 2. Both offline and online multiplayer modes. Allow 4 player split-screen offline for the classic death match experience. Allow multiple players to join online for a battle royale experience. Also, make all the cars available from the start in both offline and online modes. 3. Include maps set in different countries such as Tokyo, New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Las Vegas, Australia, the Philippines, and Egypt. Also include unique maps such as the Prison from Black and the Carnival from Twisted Metal 4/Lost. Allow all parts of the map playable for both 4 player split screen and online. 4. Bring back customizations for the vehicles but add more creative accessories. 5. Bring back the game's original storymode/Arcade mode in which you pick a car and drive through a traditional arcade style ladder to face the middle boss and later the final boss in which after you beat, you get to see their ending (usually its pretty fucked up). 6. On that note, bring back in-game cutscenes from Black in which they explain each driver's backstory for entering the tournament. It would also be neat if the drivers cutscenes & ending were told in a different art style similar to the Netflix Science fiction horror anthology series, Love Death and Robots ❤️☠️🤖 7. Bonus Features should include the documentary of the game's history, artwork behind the vehicles and their drivers, and emulated playable ports of the original Twisted Metal (1995), Twisted Metal 2: World Tour, Twisted Metal Black, and Twisted Metal Head-On (PS2 version). 8. Licensed soundtracks such as Dragula - Rob Zombie, Heavy Metal - Sammy Hagar, Raise the Flag - Airborne, Paint It Black - The Rolling Stones, Superbeast - Rob Zombie, and Breaking Outta Hell - Airborne. 🔥🤡🍦🚐💀🏍

[@royasturias1784]

Sweet Tooth (2012 or TV show version) driven by Needles Kane donning the cursed clown mask Axel remains in his iconic two-wheeler Mr. Grimm's motorbike with a sidecar again Outlaw (police cruiser sedan) still driven by the Roberts siblings Grasshopper still driven by Krista Brimstone still driven by Preacher Mr. Slam still driven by Simon Thumper still driven by Bruce Yellow Jacket still driven by Charlie in 1 Warthog (Humvee version) still driven by Captain Rogers Minion driving a hijacked IFV again Twister still driven by Miranda, assuming that her undead sis Amanda stays indoors Roadkill driven by John Doe and Quiet Crazy 8 still driven by No-Face / Frank the Tank Spectre driven by the yandere Bloody Mary Shadow still driven by Mortimer Crimson Fury driven by Agent Shepherd Hammerhead driven by joyriders Mike and Stu Darkside (the tanky Western Star truck) driven by Dollface in Black... OPTIMUM PRIDE! Cousin Eddy in his refurbished but still armed motorhome You mentioned 4. So, Calypso himself driving a missile truck again? Also Pizza Boy (driven by the 19-year-old Conner) to return? Needs a Road Roller, a Reliant Robin, a Tuk-tuk trike, a limo The Batmobile of Batman: Arkham Knight (DC Comics had been asked by Sony to make the Twisted Metal 2 prelude comic, and something in return won't hurt), KITT from Knight Rider, Mach 5 from Speed Racer (movie version), Camaro Bumblebee

[@elmono6299]

@royasturias1784 What I'm thinking about TM4 is what if they based the drivers and vehicles off the ones from the TV series like Drag Queen. The exterminator can drive Vermin since I count both Vermin and Google Eyes as one in the same. Also, Rob Zombie returns with his Dragula. As for new vehicles, I would like to see a Jeepney, Firetruck, School Bus, Hotrod, Taco Truck, Excalibur, Cobra, Cadillac, 1953 Firebird I XP-21, 1970 Ferrari 512S Modulo, a Morgan 3 Wheeler, Amphicar 770, Train with Monster Truck tires, and a robot dino truck (Robosaurus, Megasaurus, and Drago The Dragonator). As for guest vehicles, the Ghostbusters mobile and Elvira's car from the 1988 cult classic, Elvira Mistress of the Dark.

[@emmet7208]

It would be great if you could unlock every character ever made one at a time by accomplishing tasks in the game!

[@_-Huligan-_]

With your recent video on Rogue Trip in mind, I honestly think they should re-introduce some of it's minor features and QoL changes. Stuff like holding triangle for special moves so you don't do them accidentally, making rear-fire a much simpler and quicker input, tying turbo and energy together and making it a regenerating resource, maybe a few of it's cooler weapons like the meteor shower and 3x stinger missiles. Also, regarding TM2012's special system, I think making it a choice (like how Street Fighter 6 lets you pick between modern and classic controls) could be a good idea. My biggest issue with 2012's method is how limiting it was: allowing only 3 special moves, one of which was mines which are super niche and rarely used when rear firing exists and also uses a d-pad input. Maybe having each direction of the d-pad open up a sub-menu sorted by their use could fix that and function as this hypothetical modern control scheme (left d-pad for an offensive menu with stuff like mines and stun, right for a defense menu with shields and invisibility, up d-pad for mobility stuff like a bigger jump and TM4's teleport).

[@mooose5779]

I 100% agree with everything on this list. A couple things I would add is with the special abilities being locked to the D-pad have different options that you could switch out like add spikes that do a one time ram bonus, or drop spikes that could slow enemies for a few seconds if run over, or possible alterations of the standard abilities like a shockwave freeze instead of the missile. They could be balanced by the amount of energy they use. I just like the added customization that would add. Also bring back the custom livery shop from 2012. Overall what you listed would be a perfect TM game in my opinion! I would do unspeakable things th have it get made 😂

[@mischiefmotorsgame]

I love these videos of what if. I can use them to improve my own solo game dev journey trying to make my own car combat game. 😊

[@thecreepynightshiftguy]

Back when Twisted Metal 2 was new, I always hoped that the next one would've been a prequel that takes place during the first contest. I had a lot of cool ideas for characters like an early version of Minion, a business tycoon in a limo, and a demolition derby drive in way over his head. That was decades ago, so the only thing I remember was that if the business tycoon won, Calypso would ignore him and grant the wish to his chauffer instead. Anyway, that's my dream game from nearly 30 years ago.

[@emeryweaver3796]

The first thing I would like to see is that it actually exists. This is one of those franchises I thought was going to end up like call of duty, making one every year or two. Not saying that would have been a good idea but it's just where I seen it going.

[@BigSlick98]

I actually agree with everything you said. For me it needs a classic tournament mode. This should honestly be the first thing they do when they are coming up with the levels, characters and vehicles. Multiplayer should be a secondary mode plus it won’t work well the first week or so anyway.

[@Mace2.0]

While on topic of what TM should have, here's my "short" list. 1: Complex AI behavior. Throughout all the TM games (apart from 4), the AI is either: Fuck around and maybe hit cpu opponents in vain, or B-line straight to the player and only the player (see TMB's Drive-In Movie for a clear example). The AI behavior should react to several things like 1: finding pickups, 2: cruise, 3: attack nearby opponent with full or weak health, 4: spam freezers & missiles, 5: retreat if health is low, and 6: try to fuckin' dodge attacks. 2: Keep the individual gun options from TM2012, but make it a little more advanced. The mounted guns only shoots forward but in exchange for better damage than an SMG (fire rate varies on each car). The other guns has the ability to shoot in most directions (likely 270 degrees), but limited in damage, fire rate, range, and mag capacity. In other words: You could do drive-by shooting. Examples: An SMG deals weak damage in a medium range with a high fire rate, a .44 Magnum deals hard damage in short ranges, but has damage falloff in longer ranges + slower fire rate, and a sawn-off double-barrel deals heavy damage in close quarters. 3: Offline single player story mode & an online multiplayer. It's tradition and preservation is king. TM2012's story mode only had 3 characters because it's likely rushed when their idea of an online-only Multiplayer TM was rejected. The story mode is going to feature a whole range of characters, and hopefully not recycled stories from previous games. 4: The whole competition takes place in one city, similar to the concept of Harbor City. I think the idea of a big city consists of several arenas would've been a refreshing take. Also yes, it should be varied in size. I wanna see the mall level realized. 5: Different game modes (even in single player). Y'know, shooting the shit outta enemies in arenas is fun n' all, but it gets repetitive. Different game modes should include some variety like CTF, King of the Hill, fight in confined designated areas, or do challenges where you do certain tasks under a time limit, use a certain car, or blow something up. Ditch the racing bit, it didn't work in TM2012. 4: Ditch the helicopters. TM2012's copters & flying Sweet Tooth mechs kinda broke the balancing when 90% of the cars can't fly. 5: Have two variants of certain cars in a TM competition: One is a weaker version that is driven by an anonymous driver (aka: Fodder car), and another being the real deal who is a bigger threat. 6: Customization. Not performance customization (that leads to balancing problems), but cosmetics. Basically, Pimp My Ride with all sorts of garish colors. 7: Bring back some fan favorites and Pit Viper (that car hasn't been included since TM1). Reintroduce some fan favourites like Axel, Thumper, Twister, Crazy 8, etc... 8: Add new characters & bosses. Dunno if said boss vehicles should be like TM2012's big-ass machines or not. 9: 60+ FPS, like TM Black & Head-On. When people like to bitch & moan about the framerates these days, no one ever made a peep about the locked 30fps in TM1-4, SB & 2012 (yeah, that's a hardware limitation, but still). The new game should be 60fps right out of the box, even on the weak settings. 10: As a bonus: Recreations of older TM levels. Bonus levels that are unlocked by completing the game, do certain challenges, etc. They're either HD remakes or lazily ported levels from the TM games. Even TM3, TM4, and Small Brawl. The only TM game that does that was TM2 under a cheat code & exclusive to multiplayer. _Now a controversial addition:_ Weak spots for each and every car, similar to the Juggernaut from TM2012. Some cars are weak on the side, some have a flaw on the back, or have a critical weakness from the top or bottom... or the driver exposed. In contrary, some cars will have some better defenses like being bulletproof on certain places or in Grimm's case: Being harder to hit from homing missiles. However for balancing sake: These damage differences won't be staggering. _Second controversial addition:_ Add an oil slick weapon to piss off players & cpu opponents. If the player is distracted by blasting you from behind, you could oil slick the opponent, which they lose grip for a brief moment. That, and lead them to hazards.

[@williamjacob2060]

i think a cool thing would be that in tm1 its mentioned that it is the 10th annual tournament so i wanna see the first tournament which would be 1985 could have the potential for awesome music and cars from the 80s definitely a retro feel with maybe lore on why the tournament started in the first place. but if its not a prequel i think tm should pull a mk Armageddon and bring in every character from the games and an improved create a car system where ya unlock car parts and weapons/specials by playing the game and leveling up

[@Frozen_Pioneer]

The next twisted metal needs full vehicle and character creation.

[@diamondcuttz2279]

First Twisted metal I had as a kid was Small Rumble , Roots went from RC cars in the playground all the way to the life size cars

[@ddexpress]

Some good points on this. It would be nice to see this game multiplatform, but I doubt we'll get that (though I'm sure it would help it in the end). Fighting games have evolved enough to the point where we get a classic arcade mode, a story mode, and then multiplayer mode- having these in a TM game would be a must I feel, as just having one or the other would only give it enough life for a while, unless something big and selling can propel farther. Especially compared to games like Fortnite.

[@jamielama7716]

Would be cool if they added guest characters like imagine a crossover with Carmageddon and characters like Max Damage or Die Anna.

[@yuytftyu4207]

1:34 hoping it's not going to be head-on, where it's just old character and "new" ones are diet versions of existing character and minion not appearing

[@Gwar-Deth]

i would like a racer type of twisted metal to fight for first place as well as other racers the kane siblings would make for great new characters

[@VictorGoldfeld]

At this point tech wise they should bring back all the characters from old games, like they did with Mortal Kombat 3 ultimate edition back in the day... def have story single player and characters, robust online play, what else do you need. Recently they made Streets of Rage 4, TMNT Shredder's Revenge, Contra games etc, makes total sense to make an awesome legacy game.

[@bloodyreveille450]

My thoughts are your thoughts mostly but...! Hate this idea if you want lol But I was thinking about a solid TM RPG type game. Offline plus online? It would have both the traditional TM and all the extra modes...I've been thinking of it for a while. It would have to be something very refined, refreshing and addicting. Leveling up, new skins, new characters, new weapons and maps to unlock...no boring random quests though LMAO. Just cutscenes and cool ass Carnage! Something that wouldnt require too much transactions really. And wouldn't require an online connection just to play and still feature split screen.. It would be so dope though. Would love a super create your own character system where you could add different paint jobs and custom emblems. You could fuse cars you unlock or combine different pieces of them, alter them as well and specials and call em your own. Changing colors of your missles and stuff too would be so crazy! Also would love if they remade every good map and gave us day cycle options and weather. I'd like to see some OG maps expanded and have them possibly surprise us with weird easter eggs! Maybe they could hide different unlockables in each level depending on what mode you're on. Oh and bringing a randomized weapon spawn system. But yeah maybe even doing challenges to unlock stuff like call of duty would also be a cool concept maybe for online? Hmm a fully tweakable ai system and map builder where you could share custom maps with the community would be dope too! I don't know, I ask for way too much! 😂 Overall though, I just think a variety that fits everyone would be the best approach if anything. Long as its in the main roots of twisted metal and is pretty accurate and keeps its uniqueness.

[@jakeryan2805]

I'll add every level shoulds have destructible, and environmental weapons like in Small Brawl, and Black. The levels should feel alive in a some way.

[@bernkastel...]

3:45 i think would be best before play game game ask you want to use energy classic input (like tm2 etc) or like 2012. Prob lot ppl would be happy whit that

[@lordvlygar2963]

I want to see the return of stages based on real areas.

[@dwightdecker4961]

I think it just needs to go back to basics like what Doom 2016 did. The gameplay should be fast paced but simple, a good custom soundtrack is a must. Plus for a roaster I would love to see mostly cars from tm 1 plus 2, maybe junkyard dog from black thrown into there along with a few others

[@ryanrose9786]

I've been gaming since the 80s. Bought a playstation 1 after renting one. Rented 2 games. Battle Arena Toshinden and of course the start of my addiction with the genre... Twisted Metal. I bit into the series and never really let go. To the point that in the early 00s when I'd get back from deployments my buddy and I would meet up just to play Twisted Metal 2. We got so good we imposed chalkenges. Beat it on hard. Beat it on hard without losing a life. Beat it with a certain combination of characters on hard without losing a life. Of course it's a lot harder than you think. Even if player 2 plays spectre it still has anti player 1 bias. Anywho. I continued with the series. All the way through...even 3 and 4. Still though at over 40+ years through kids, work, distance and life whenever we meet up... Bust out the old PS2, or 1, and play TM2 as if life stopped way back when. So long winded oldmanramble meant to show how much I love these games and the genre aside... As much as I hate it as a narrative tool (I only find time travel more exhausting)... When worlds collide, multiverse Twisted Metal. Every level. Every weapon. Every car. Every character. 1 Calypso. The Smash Bros of Twisted Metal. Maybe also implement a mode where depending on the level or Twisted Metal game it shifts the graphics to that specific game.

[@nicholasesparza2978]

I love bright tm, head on was perfect

[@billydelacey]

I think there should be a Transformers car combat game.

[@danieltarczynski6559]

I think the best project that would fit Twisted Metal would be a remaster/remake of TM2.TM2 is the series most popular game and it reflects the tone of the TV series closest (which would be what you would be trying to capitalize on). It also would be the project that would be small enough in scope to be economically feasible. A free to play game would probably be the way to go have it free and fully unlockable for PS+ subscribers and everyone else just gets access to half the single player game and only 4-5 cars for online/multiplayer. You can pay 15 bucks to unlock the whole thing plus separate charges for additional cosmetic items. I think if TMPS3 weren't so complex to emulate and re-release it would probably be the best thing to just update the engine to look a bit nicer. Take TMPS3 but rework the existing levels, add in a few new levels, a few different cars (get rid of some of the "clone cars" and flying vehicles replace them with different ones), a simple single player "arcade" structure with characters for the cars, rebalance the game, and make sure the online component actually works and you would have a fairly cheap doable project that would work especially if you use the "free to play" model mentioned above. Whatever Twisted Metal does I think the scope of the project has to be small to mid-sized with a heavy focus on online/multiplayer with a nice and simple "arcade" single player component with different characters for each car. Personally I would love a full out Harbor City style game somewhat based on the show, but I just don't think that is realistic for a franchise that hasn't had a hit in a long time on the video game side of things.

[@kirkperez7947]

Definitely story telling as someone stated. I want the stories to make me invest in the character like black. I want to feel sorry for axel but understand why he does what he does like in black. Maybe some of the cheeseness like 3 and 4. And Definitely multi-player experience in this day and age. All your points make sense to me. "Sounds good to me baby!"

[@Revenant530]

Should be one driver per car, not like what they did in 2012 version. I wouldn’t mind seeing some remakes of the fan favorite maps from all the other games. There is a lot they could do.

[@7dogguy]

I would say it would be okay to have an engine like 2012 because the driving does feel really good in that game but it's a little bit too fast paced in my opinion also most of the weapons are not Dodgeable so it would be good to have Twisted Metal black weapon balancing and maybe the same speed as Twisted Metal black but with a new updated engine like 2012

[@villageflippinidiot]

Honestly, i see it as a free to play game. Team based combat, maybe objectives, rank mode. Vehicles behind a paywall, but also very earnable in time. Sick cosmetics for 10-20. I think free to play suits twisted metal well. Its a game a lot of people would love to try, but its a niche game. I thi k with it being so niche, opening it up for everyone to try would be good for it. Release it on ps5, xbox, and pc at the same time. Sony is going towards full crossplay, so release this game with it. Id love some objective game modes, but am not sure what works well for twisted metal. I want varied car types. I want speed cars, tank cars, supportive cars that have access to stuns or freezes. I think different eras of each car could be cool. Or 2-3 diffferent specials per car. Lastly, i would like spme customization. Maybe like a pick 3 perk system, a card based loadout like paladins, or general car customization. I want to crawl around as a tanky axel. I want to supe up the ice cream machine and add a racing stripe. This whole idea has my brain so excited, so many fun ideas. I think a slay the spire type of map would be really cool for a story mode. A very light roguelight experience in a car combat game sounds like what i want

[@StrixTheGamingCat]

I heard there was going to be a Twisted Metal 5 but Sony shut down the studio behind it. So I dont know if there will be another one anytime soon.

[@VicariousNickk]

Never know!

[@locoloboxiii]

Sony is about to close on the purchase of Queens entire music library. Look forward to the tv series and possibly, (if made) new games having themes like "Another one bites the dust".

[@veissra4047]

I actually want certain characters to get another chance. It sucks we almost got Grasshopper, such an interesting design and special weapon, in Small Brawl. Just to get cut last second, and result in a butchered Warthog as a result. Also each vehicle should have its own driver, which should be a given.

[@Physsyra]

I agree with most things listed out here. Disagree on the alternative specials being cut, as I think with more time, 2012 could've made them work if every vehicle had more unique to themselves 2 specials that felt like their identity. I've written out 3 and a half design document notepads on what I wishfully want for new twisted metal games over this year, despite knowing none will ever happen. But hey, I can dream of this series coming back anew somehow. Wish I had time not working to make videos discussing them.

[@DennisCraig-f4q]

Remaster them all and then do a complete new one.

[@jcarr1289]

Get the 989 team to do it. Have a roster of all new characters. Returning Characters are locked or DLC. Get some cool bosses that are big and scary but don't go on forever.

[@Jengeth]

They should bring back Trash Man, but put Danny DeVito in the driver’s seat.

[@nathanfogarty4673]

To be honest if twisted metal comes back I hope motorstorm follows after

[@OrdemDoGraveto]

In a perfect ideal game, I'd like to see ALMOST all cars from the past, except for a few that were repetitions, like the several slam clones and things like that. And then have 3-5 new cars on top of that, if not more. I want the tome of the game to be close to 2 / head-on, wich is a sweet spot I believe. Colorful, but with a dark sense of humor, without being TOO silly or over the top. NPC's should shoot each other, go for heals, etc. And they should NOT repeat. If you face a enemy at a given stage, he shouldn't appear again in that playthrou. So that you really feel that it's a free-for-all tornament and you are killing other people! I kinda like the live action cutscenes, it gives a trashy C movie vibe. It worked well for 1 and 2012. But I'm happy with animation or motion comics as well. As for multi player, lean in on the battle royale aspect in a mode, with larger stages and more players at once, as well as the tradicional 8 cars in a smaller stage.

[@OrdemDoGraveto]

As for the cases of repeat special: Thumber should have the 3 or small brawl sound version. Leaving the flamethrower to somebody else.

[@JustinTheSpider]

i disagree with cars having only one special for example if you are terrible with darkside ram special the minigun was a sold alternative especially in super close spots

[@since2133]

Twisted Metal 2012 got a lot of unnecessary hate for taking many risks that are now appreciated for. I like that game for what it was and I hope if a new game comes out, that they take a lot of notes from 2012. And mind you, they were rushed to finish the game. I can already imagine what it’ll look like if they took their time with it.

[@Mr.HootieHooRDK]

Have you ever played crossout?

NEXT TIME YOU LIVE STREAM IVE GOT SOME GOOD NEWS I WANNA ANNOUNCE !!!

[@GoogleAids]

Ah nice, a new list for modern game devs to ignore. No hate on you or these opinions though. Besides the multiplayer part. I can handle dlc, but keep it coop and it will stay cosmetic only.

[@VicariousNickk]

Just gotta wait and hope that won't happen! The more content we make about these games the less likely it will be for them to ignore the fanbase

[@GoogleAids]

@VicariousNickGaming I have no hope for any new games these days ngl. Collecting old games for a few bucks each is much more fun. Cabela's Big Game Hunter is better than fortnite

[@Gwar-Deth]

who owns the ip of twisted metal sony?

[@VicariousNickk]

@@Gwar-Deth sadly yeah

[@Gwar-Deth]

@@VicariousNickk that just sucks maby sony will get there heads out of there butts and get on the ball and make a new twisted metal and a good one

[@Roadkill-Films]

Heres my idea for what they should do: DON'T CENSOR THE GODDAMN GAME IN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES. Being a huge TM fan in the UK, who had just recently got TM Black for the PS2 and TM2012 for the PS3 (personal favourites), i was excited to witness the actual story after completing Black on the PS4. Now i was under the impression that the PS4 version was missing the story as it claimed that parts of the game would be missing on the PS4, only for me to realise both games were censored in Europe...FFS DON'T DO THIS AGAIN😅

Twisted metal small black

The car combat genre is currently 100% dead. There are only racing games and tank games. I'll take anything that's an actual car combat. If I were to get specific with Twisted Metal though, here's my pitch: An online multiplayer focused, battle royale style game. Instead of the standard game following the previous contestants, in this one you make your OWN contestant(s). You are the tournament contestant with your own vehicle choice modified to your specifications. Give a certain "modification allowance", giving you a chance to add strength to you weapons' effects or vehicle's stats. Want more acceleration and top speed? Allocate points to the engine and transmission. Want better handling and faster breaking? Add points to the tires and breaks. Want your basic machinegun to be able to fire more before overheating? Add points to it. Etc. Finding success in a tournament would result in getting prizes. Both consolation ones if you didn't come out on top, and a first prize for those who do. A simple lootbox system for cometics, with optional direct purchases. Original Overwatch Style where eventually you could earn everything. They could add a single player story at a later date, but simply based on the current market I think this formula fits best. Huge maps that shrink over time, forcing remaining players to fight to win it all.

The upcoming Warhammer 40,000 Speed Freeks game proves you wrong.

[@DillonMeyer]

@@royasturias1784 is it a racing game? If so, it's disqualified.

[@blakiepoop5568]

It will be online only Fortnite style

[@jsquirrels]

They could just remaster 2 3 and 4, and I would be fine with that. Twisted metal black and 2012 were absolute trash.

[@TheBudtoker]

The Developers of Rouge Trip...That's all that's needed.
