Yesterday a reputable insider Tom Henderson hinted that the next part may be in development survival racing series Twisted metal, which is supposedly preparing for release in 2023.
However, the creator of the original Twisted Metal and God of War David Yaffe does not believe in the veracity of such rumors.
Although Jaffe was unable to completely refute Henderson’s conjecture, he stated in his new video that he doubts the new Twisted Metal is in development… But if that is the case, then he will be “very, very hurt” as Sony has not contacted him to discuss the project.
“I don’t think I’m a Sony favorite right now. Not only because of these streams, but everything else. But if that’s true, I would be very, very disappointed that the PlayStation at best did not ask me to contribute my contribution, and at worst – did not inform that [разработка новой Twisted Metal] started. “
“These are the guys who contacted me and hooked me up with the guys making the TV show … I don’t think they would put me off [участия в игре]… At least on a pure PR level so they can say I was involved. “
“I haven’t heard anything … Not from official Sony sources, nor from behind-the-scenes material, and I hear about a lot of secret things that I’m not supposed to know.”
Yaffe pointed out the bad reception released earlier this year Destruction AllStars as one of the reasons why he doesn’t believe that right now the company would be engaged in the revival of a similar Twisted Metal.
“I’m sure Sony has suffered financial losses due to Destruction AllStars, so I don’t think they are sitting and discussing:“ Let’s try to release another title about car battles … And let’s take the one that has historically sold well in only one region. “I do not imagine this is possible.”
Most likely, in 2023, not a new Twisted Metal game will be released, but a previously announced show based on the franchise. The scriptwriters are now developing it “Deadpool” and “Zombieland“Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.
