The first installment in the series since 2008's Twisted Metal: Head-On - Extra Twisted Edition for the PlayStation 2, Twisted Metal is being developed by Jaffe and many of the series' original developers at Eat Sleep Play. Although Black was rereleased the following year with online multiplayer support as a promotion for the PS2 network adapter peripheral, Jaffe said the version included with the first printing of Twisted Metal would be the original, offline edition. Twisted Metal Black was the first PlayStation 2 installment in the franchise and, as the name suggests, employed a darker tone and atmosphere than previous versions on the original PlayStation. Sweet Tooth apparently traded in the ice cream truck for a new set of wheels. In a post on the PlayStation Blog today, codirector David Jaffe announced that the first run of Twisted Metal for the PlayStation 3 would include vouchers to download 2001's Twisted Metal Black. Includes documentaries of the history of Twisted Metal and live action videos of endings for the original Twisted Metal on the Playstation that looks like old, worn out videotape, some of which have completely different endings from the final versions, even making Sweet Tooth sound almost like Mick "Mankind" Foley of WWE/WWF fame.Those who plunk down for the latest Twisted Metal will be able to take an older model of the franchise for a spin as well. In it you can roam the asylum and collect Sweet Tooth shaped heads that include facts about the history of the Twisted Metal series. The levels are a massive suburban area, a giant stadium, a local carnival and a ship yard.Īnother feature is the ability to walk around in an asylum as Sweet Tooth, a feature that was being worked on for the new Twisted Metal that was going to be used for character based foot missions. It features the characters from Twisted Metal: Black, but with new stories (unfortunately, no endings were done for them) and two extra characters, 12-Pak and Gold Tooth. One of the changes is the inclusion of four lost levels of a new Twisted Metal game that was never finished (it was cancelled after six members of the production team died in a plane crash).

This is a conversion of the PSP version of Twisted Metal: Head-On, but with some differences.
