Key Features of Twisted Metal
Here is a list of key elements that will be available in Eat Sleep Play’s Twisted Metal based on news and announcements made so far.
Multiplayer Combat
The game focuses heavily on multiplayer combat, including various online game modes with up to 4 player split-screen and 16-players online. For example, the Nuke Mode is a new online game mode where you choose a faction to play against an opposing faction.
Four factions have been revealed so far: the Clowns, the Dolls, the Skulls, and the Preachers. The former having been announced as being inspired by Sweet Tooth (Twisted Metal series) and Dollface (Twisted Metal: Black) respectively. The latter are presumably led by Mr. Grimm (Twisted Metal series) and The Preacher (Twisted Metal: Black).
Background and Vehicles
It has yet to be revealed if the game is set in the same universe as any previous Twisted Metal installment, or is a new universe altogether.
New selectable vehicles in the game include:
- Reaper, a motorcycle, likely Mr. Grimm’s
- Roadboat, a car that looks similar to a Mitsubishi Eclipse
- Death Warrant, a fifth-generation Ford Mustang
- Vermin a rodent catcher van, an 80’s Chevrolet Monte Carlo
- Meat Wagon, a medical 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor Combination Car, which closely resembles Ghostbusters’ Ecto-1
- Talon, a helicopter
Drivers and cars seem to be interchangeable in this game. The existence of Reaper hints at the likelihood of customizable cars/drivers. New weapons include Sniper Rifle and Shot Gun.
