14 DAY TRIAL // Twisted Metal is one of the biggest PlayStation 3 exclusive releases of early 2012 and the developers working on the game have confirmed that they are planning to release a demo of the game, showing fans what the experience will be like, and that they are already working on a day one patch to fix some small issues.
David Jaffe, who is the leader of the development team at Eat Sleep Play working on Twisted Metal, has stated, “We’re doing a day one patch, which is gonna be a very, very, very small patch. I’ve gone on record: I hate patches. But that said – they’re important in some cases. There are a couple of bugs – we don’t want to release it buggy. But we’re also doing it for some real final tuning and balance.”
He added, “Once you go gold, you have a couple of weeks to really play the game, and me and the QA guys we’re just like ‘you know, this seems a little unbalanced. It would be really cool if this weapon did a little less damage.’ It takes a lot of time to suss those things out.”
Jaffe has also said that he also has some more substantial changes planned for the 2012 version of Twisted Metal but that they will only be implemented if the game is successful and the team has the freedom to tweak it and deliver more content.
It seems that there’s quite a bit of pressure to succeed on the Twisted Metal team and that the game needs a serious player base in order to get more tweaks and more content.
The game will be focused on multiplayer action and over the top violence.
Twisted Metal will be launched on February 14, especially for lovers, in the United States and three days later in Europe and will be playable only on the Sony home console.
