Twisted Metal PS3 Confirmed

Sony Computer Entertainment's Twisted Metal franchise is headed to PlayStation 3, long-time series director David Jaffe has confirmed.

Jaffe will be overseeing development of the car combat title at his recently founded studio Eat, Sleep, Play. The first project out of Eat, Sleep, Play--Twisted Metal: Head-On: Extra Twisted Edition (PS2)--was a significantly beefed-up port of Incognito's Twisted Metal: Head On (PSP) that released this week.

An encoded hint as to the studio's next project was contained within that game, with the internet sleuths at GameFAQs and NeoGAF quickly cracking the code to reveal "Twisted Metal is coming on PSThree." Kotaku then verified the news with Jaffe himself.

No further details, such as a release date or distribution method, are available. Prior to the creation of Eat, Sleep, Play, Jaffe had worked on Incognito's Calling All Cars!, a downloadable PlayStation 3 title.

Sony is known to be pushing simultaneous retail and downloadable debuts of certain PlayStation 3 games, as evidenced by Incognito's Warhawk last fall and the upcoming releases of Slant Six Games' SOCOM Confrontation, and Polyphony Digital's Gran Turismo 5 Prologue.

  • Oooh! I've got a WIi and an XBOX 360. Haven't had much of a reason to get a PS3 but now I think it's settled!

    I've been bugging the wife to agree to get one with our tax return, because I want a Blue Ray DVD player. Seeing as HD-DVD seems to be starting to lose its battle (for the moment), I told her we should just get a PS3 if we're going to get a Blue Ray player anyway. She's been reluctant because there haven't been a ton of must-have games for us.

    I loved the original. Hopefully the soundtrack is good, because the original's really matched the theme.
