David Jaffe is a PS3 fanboy, Twisted Metal not coming to Xbox 360, Wii, iPad
Is the new Twisted Metal game coming to any platforms other than the PS3? No, because David Jaffe is a PS3 fanboy.
OK, so there’s also the fact that Sony owns Twisted Metal, but even if he could bring the game to other platforms, Jaffe wouldn’t. As he informed Twitter user ‘mayham_stone050′ when he asked just that on Twitter. Jaffe replied:
No, we will not be making it for the 360. The only thing we’d love more than getting the game out there to as many players as possible — via putting it on new systems — is to continue helping Sony differentiate their box from other boxes. We love our 360s and Wiis and iPads but TM is Sony owned and made just for PS3 users.
So there you have it. Twisted Metal will always be a PS3 exclusive, partly thanks to copyright ownership, partly thanks to Jaffe’s allegiance to the PS3.
A very cool caveat to this story? A few hours after the discussion on Twitter occurred, Jaffe announced that the Xbox 360 owner who originally asked the question was getting given a PS3 so that he could play the new Twisted Metal game after all. Which is nice for him.

That was nice of Jaffe. I would have told him to go out and buy one. With the few exclusive titles coming out next year for the 360, he’s bound to anyway
Twisted Metal is one of the oldest remaining IP’s out there and owned by Sony. It’s a non story that this game wouldn’t be on the 360.
Here’s more TM news (if not old news)
Axel has been confirmed.

Awww, so thats what yous lot look like! A bit simple. How sweet.

DS is meaning the picture of Jaffe which really doesn’t do him any justice. I’ve heard that when you see him in the flesh he’s a real hunk!
December 1st, 2010
Alriiiight. DS can drool over what the developer looks like. My drool is saved for the game.
December 1st, 2010
its like andrewDS has nintendo’s cock in his ass and microsofts in his mouth….
December 1st, 2010
Dans303 is a chick I hope?
DS is just a fag who thinks that guy is cute.
December 1st, 2010
LOL I think you are right Liquid.
Man that MS is a slut. Doing 40+ million idiots at once. They even got Roca and Ivan!
December 1st, 2010
What a stupid article… of course TM is owned by sony… why would TM end up on 360 or wii?
Idiots…
December 1st, 2010
Lol. I think that Nintendo guy has a crush on you Phranctoast.
December 1st, 2010
Yeah. The only news here is that they gave away a PS3, not that a Sony owned IP is not coming to the a MS product..
Jaffe is a fanboy is also rather dumb.
“We love our 360s and Wiis and iPads but TM is Sony owned and made just for PS3 users.”
Would a fanboy love their 360′s?
Jaffe said a while back that they would be interested in developing 360 games. Unfortunately for 360 users East Sleep Play signed a multi game contract with Sony.
Sony’s not dumb enough to allow the creator of Twisted Metal and God of War to go multi platform that easily.

I’ll watch my back twilight
December 1st, 2010
Phranc, good post, I was thinking the same thing.
December 1st, 2010
yeah god knows what andrew_ds is capable of after playing all them baking games and surgery games on his DS. LOL
December 1st, 2010
Unfortunately for nc, I’m a heterosexual male. I just have a soft spot for Jaffe.
December 1st, 2010
LOL sure
December 1st, 2010
as long as the soft spot aint your butt
December 1st, 2010
Or the back of your throat.
December 1st, 2010
I’m a giver, not a taker.

LOL

“and CAD doesn’t bust a nut to kinectimals.”
Do I detect sarcasm? LMAO
December 1st, 2010
lol yeah
December 1st, 2010
“I’m a giver, not a taker.”
CAD said the total opposite few months ago
December 1st, 2010
To you?
December 1st, 2010
I”ll try to care Mr. Jaffe, but the 360′s library is too big and enjoyable to miss one, outdated, franchise. Good luck on the ps3 tho. you’re going to need it.
December 1st, 2010
Kev how do you feel about the PS3 over taking the 360 in sales after an entire year head start and a cheaper price?
What about the news on Mass Effect 2?
December 1st, 2010
yeah kev we would love to hear your views on the 360 becoming 3rd. . .paybacks a bitch aint it!
December 1st, 2010
From this day forth, it shall now be known as: ‘The 3rd-60′
I like that, I’m quiet impressed with myself for that name lol.
December 1st, 2010
You guys are all gay LOL but CON and CAD are the gayest
And I liked the one I came up with- 3fixme.
P.S. Roca, how do you like the Chevelle I gave you?
December 1st, 2010
3fixme? LMFAO, I gotta hand it to you, that’s much better lol.
The funny thing is the 3rd-60 wouldn’t have sold half as much if it weren’t for all the faults. I mean I bought 4 myself. You got loads of people having to re-buy the 3rd-60 and the PS3 has STILL overtaken it lmao.
December 2nd, 2010
Don’t let CarlB hear you– he’ll retort with some rubbish anecdote that Roca and I will spend three days arguing against -_-
December 2nd, 2010
…because they’re not your rubbish anecdotes
December 2nd, 2010
Jaffe announced in his happy thanksgiving message on the eat sleep play forums that by next thanksgiving twisted metal will be around. Of course I assumed that anyway but was hoping for a lot earlier. It’s worded in a way where the game could come out anytime next year except after thanksgiving.
December 2nd, 2010
they just released the PSX TM on PSN. Plus members get it ½ price I think.
December 2nd, 2010
EGM made TM it’s GOTY in 95′. Solid game but definitely dated.
TM:Black is a must if you’ve never played it. Be warned though…Normal Difficulty is Hard. The game was not easy. IGN gave it a 9.6, when they were still a legitimate reviewing site.
December 2nd, 2010
@birdman
You gave me a car in GT5? LOL
thanks man… I’ve haven’t been playing lately because I’m waiting for my PSP to come back (my girl has it) so I can transfer my cars from my GT PSP garage. I’ll check it out today
but thanks anyways…how about if you let me have the Bugatthi?
December 2nd, 2010
@Phranc
I skipped TM: Black since TM4 was such a waste of money… I hope they make a HD ramake for that one.
@ncaissie
TM2 was the best (on PSX) and for $3 is not bad but I think TM: Head On on PSP offers a more up to date experience.
December 2nd, 2010
LOL. I skipped 4 because of 3. I kept up with the news of Black though, and when it was clear that the original team from TM1 and 2 would be working on it I was confident enough that they wouldn’t screw up the controls.
I’d likely pick up a HD remaster of Black if it was on PSN only and $10.
December 2nd, 2010
You’re right Roca, It is TM2 for $6 and $3 for plus members.
December 2nd, 2010
Did anyone else buy Dead Nation on PSN? It’s pretty good, but a bit hard because of slightly unfair checkpoints.
December 2nd, 2010
I plan on it. Didn’t yet. I want to finish Sly 3 first.
December 2nd, 2010
@dans306
I git the game yesterday, maybe we can play one of tomorrow.
December 2nd, 2010
@roca
Sounds good.
December 2nd, 2010
in which level are you?
I was on my way to the towers (4th or 5th level) on Grim mode
December 2nd, 2010
“how about if you let me have the Bugatthi”
Haha you must be on dog food
But I want to get Dead Nation really bad….I only have $12 in my account though… This is exactly why I need to be a PSN+ member…. Anyone willing to get it for me? I’d pay you back… My check from 2K will be here in a week (I’m a Bug Tester for 2K West in Northridge)
December 3rd, 2010
You should refund me for Bioshock 2 – it was full of bugs man

Looks interesting. Have you downloaded the Sony E3 press conference on PSN? It’s free in HD, and full of ammunition we can use against Xbots. And they have a first look at Twisted Metal…. Really Boss IMO
December 3rd, 2010
My division didn’t test Bio2. But at that time I was at Activision, working on DJ Hero and Transformers
December 3rd, 2010
“in which level are you?”
I just did the first level to see if it was any good (which it is).
Unfortunately, Brotherhood has me hooked. So many improvements on AC 2, it looks beautiful and Rome is huuuge.
And I think the mp is decent. It could do with some more game modes but it’s good nonetheless.
December 3rd, 2010
I’ll watch it tonight. blocked at work and compressed to shit on the iphone.
December 3rd, 2010
It looked pretty good on my phone. Not really new footage though. I’ve seen all that before. Still, it’s a nice preview.
I wish we’d get more news. It’s been almost 6 months with nothing.
December 3rd, 2010
I think it will be soon. They just put TM on PSN to get you excited for the next.
They do that with a lot of games and movies.
December 3rd, 2010
Hopefully at PAX east this year.
there are more PS3 annoucements coming up shortly
Dec 11 – Resistance 3 gameplay trailer
Dec 12 – unkown to be announced
December 6th, 2010
TM was great in the day, but like most of sony’s first party devs, they rest on the name instead of offering any innovation or insanely fun gaming experiences.
I personnally thank Jeff for not bringing that washed up franchise to the 360. Sony needs to keep the old and tired franchises and leave the true innovation to MS (halo, Geow, Forza, Viva P, etc, etc….
altho, the 360 could use a kart game like Mario Kart to play online. that would be fun…
December 6th, 2010
“Jaffe” not “jeff”….my bad..
December 6th, 2010
oldschool – the 360 is still in #2. Keep dreaming…lmao
December 7th, 2010
@kev
You clearly never played a Twisted Metal game. Go back to sleep and let the big boys talk.
December 8th, 2010
phranc – lol… was a HUGE playstation fan for a long time….then i found xbox live and the rest is history…
December 9th, 2010
How was TM black?
