Twisted Metal is one of those great series from the early days of the PS1 that nearly suffocated under the weight of its own success. It and other illustrious early standouts such as Tomb Raider paved the way for Sony’s dominance of the console war for two generations. In the process, Sony milked the franchise to the point of it almost disappearing forever.
You can’t keep a good clown down, though. Twisted Metal has reappeared on the PS2, PSP, and soon the PS3 as well. A code hidden within the recent Twisted Metal: Head On port to the PS2 revealed the series will soon see its first installment for the PS3. What form that new entry will take is still up in the air, at least to those outside of Sony. However, it seems clear that Sony’s online network would be perfect for multiplayer mayhem.
