The pic was like three guys opening their tuxes to reveal superhero shirts (like with the logos) underneath. Their dates were there, too, but not dressed as superheroes. Because what teenage girl wants to dress as a superhero to her prom?

Black was probably the most mature game released, and it's a car combat game.

I figured it out a while ago, but Car Combat games are mostly Arena shooters working around the lack controls.
So yes you are right that FPS took it's place, but it's more a relic of Arena shooters. And why would someone want to play a slower arena shooter?
And SEGA is insanely protective of Crazy Taxi for some reason and is what caused Simpsons Hit and Run to get made, after they caused a fuss about Road Rage.

It's not that bad, just an option you can throw on and was done as part of their remake.
What's worse is the driving physics are crap, everyone is a bit too hardy then you'd like them to be, same for peds. It just becomes more of a slog to run people down. It's all worse then Carmagedon 1 IMO. Also Online is ded.

In TM2, Outlaw 2's story says Outlaw won TM1, but the Minion boss fight always says Minion is the current champion.
In Head-On, Outlaw's story says Outlaw 2 won TM2 (continuing the story of Outlaw winning TM1), Mr. Slamm's story says he won TM2, and Grasshopper's seems to imply she won TM2. Sweet Tooth's story then says he won a bunch of times in the past. Plus there are plenty of other characters who continue across multiple games, even though anyone who doesn't win should be dead.
The stories in Twisted Metal games literally contradict things in the same game.

There's gritty and then there's edgy. LA Noir is gritty, TM Black is Edgy Disregard him anyways, the edgyness gives it flavor.

If the demo I played was any indication, this game's gameplay was steaming garbage. If you're on a regular missile and rapid fire, once you're out the game just auto switches to your next powerup, nevermind what it is, and you usually end up wasting it. Also the controls were atrocious. If the demo was an early build and the game's controls are much better, they should've held back on releasing that shitty demo until the build was better.
And yes, it was goddam, fucking retarded turning all the characters into Sweet Tooth. who the fuck wants to play that? That'd be like a street fighter game where every character wears a Gi and is team Ryu vs Team Ken. Fuck sweet tooth, despite what Sony seem to think, nobody's on his dick that hard. He's not all that good a character. Well ok, he was alright at first but they quickly overexposed him until he wore out his welcome.

Just popped in to say that the difference between dark (Twisted Metal) and edgy (recent garbage trying to be dark) is sympathy.
Twisted Metal has some strangely sympathetic characters, which makes the story something that can both take itself seriously, and have the player take seriously without immediately dismissing it. When Sweet Tooth (Kane) wishes for his pain to end and is told that his wish will be granted so long as he doesn't kill anyone again, you can sympathize with him when he immediately murders Calypso and states that a man has to have his priorities. Even though you only see Kane for a minute and he speaks just a few words throughout the course of the game, you can immediately understand him and what his goals and methods are.
Just thought I'd pop in to say that. A more modern approach to Twisted Metal would just have a bunch of crazies killing eachother for no reason other than that they can. Just adding a little bit of personality to the characters goes a long way, even if you aren't (and really shouldn't be) paying attention to the story.

Anyone else play this? It's alright, if a bit tedious after a while (the last tournament is 4 hours alone by itself apparently with 3 shorter ones running up to that with not a lot of change of modes).
Also suffers from frame rate issues but I saw someone playing Bully Scholarship Edition (which also had frame rate issues) on an XBoned and that fixed that games issues with frame rate so I wonder if the same would apply.
Also BEST DEMO DERBY GAME COMING THROUGH!
>>14269938

Well 3 and 4 were done by a different studios and were regarded as crap and are considered non-canon. Black takes place in Sweet Tooth's head (Dark Tooth's ending might tie into Black if you read into it like that actually). And Small Brawl is a prequel spin off of sorts. But you are right in it being more or less a sequel.
I think it getting over looked is due to 1. being on portable first which probably got it written off by some and 2. TM '12 going in a completely different direction so there's no reason to dwell on the lore implications of HO

I don't really see the point of car combat games. They're basically jet fighting games but severely dumbed down to the point where you only fight on a single horizontal plane which is fucking retarded. The majority of gameplay is just killing people that are distracted while trying to kill someone else, other than that it is just driving straight at each other with no way to dodge, basically flipping coins on who causes more damage. Critical Depth seems like the only game in the genre that gets around this due to its deep sea setting, I'm going to give this one a try.
a86365 No.14272619
>>14272385
Have you ever played a car combat game? There are attacks and defenses used by commands put in the controller. I've played my fair share and the challenge comes from using actual tactics to win a match. When to run, when to use your given defensive abilities, when to attack. You cant just pish the offensive and win.
ca4c74 No.14273596
>>14272385
They're arena shooters that work around the lack of mouses for precise shooting.
But they're still complex, and there's some levels with nice vertical (And Vigilante 8 2nd offense has a hover upgrade, and shields and things that defend against homing weapons, give it a try if you think the genera is simple). And every game has the usual suspect of the the big heavy car that has to tank stuff but there's also ones that rely on speed and positioning to avoid damage.

There's something about the lack of music (or any background sounds for that matter) in that intro that just amplifies the spookiness in an old-school sort of way.
Like, all you hear is the echoing laughter and the ground breaking up as it rises up. It feels like the entire city's been purged of life and it's just you and the boss left, with no one to save you from the giant fucking fast food restaurant tower with a giant clown head relentlessly chasing you around the city.

Also TM2 world tour gimmick and wacky shit came way too soon in the series life.
They could have had threr solid dark games like tm1 takng place in American cities and then when the series started losing steam throw a curb ball and make something like tm2.
What a horribly mismanaged franchise.

There was a canceled TM game called Apocalypse which supposedly influenced the '12 game. I kinda wish we got apocalypse instead. We'll never get Twisted Metal: Harbor City though

IDK, still seems goofy. Though I've always wondered if you can find that in the regular level. Dark Tooth has a much better intro. Has the same lack of music though I can't help but think they ripped off a clip of Mark Hamill's Joker listening to it now
>>14281551
How so? TM2 seemed like a logical progression from the first game. And considering Singletrac lost the rights to TM after 2 it's probably best we got it how we did.
You wanna talk about too many gimmicks and wacky shit, the next two games are prime.
ca4c74 No.14294651
So since someone brought it up I decided to play Motorseige: Heros of Primetime.
It's fun, though you really need to get use to the controls, hovercars and being able to strafe (and after having beat the first boss just now, you need to learn how to do that well).
The customization if fun and more then just "Stats be better". And Quasi Wrestling show theme gives it some nice flavor same cheap games lack.
Does feel like it's the result of throwing a bunch of ideas into a blender though. And is sucks at explaining shit (what's firepower? You can't change weapons except when you pick a new one up though you apparently store them?). It is however not better the TM black like the anon stated though. Far less likely to spawn nightmares though.
Speaking of Wrestling and car combat, did anyone else play WWE Crush Hour?

If you want you can pick up Gas Guzzlers Extreme, it's fun. More focused on racing then all out deathmatches.
There's also Crossout which is Free to play and kinda crap but it's a thing.
