>: @Murderdolls: you always seem to be dis-satisfied with your system. I mean that's understandable since I have friends not satisfied with the systems they own. I have one really not satisfied with thier wii. But instead of complaining like you usually do (which leads me to believe that you may not even have the system), why don't you just sell it.

Jun581 won't give you tree fiddy!!

For those of you don't know (or too young to know), arcades were this magical place you would play video games with other sweaty, smelly, and socially inept people.

I loved it.

Reason being that the best hardware came in arcade machines. So in order to play the latest and greatest, you would have to go to an arcade.

Roughly around the late 90's, arcades mainly because the internet was provding another place for sweaty, smelly, and socially inept players to congrigate and play against each other. That and console/PC technology surpased the the arcades and came out fast enough to beat them.

Arcades used to be everywhere. My mall growing up had two of them. Now? Arcades pander to niche players. The only games you see are rythem games and fighting games imported from Japan.

Thats all you'll ever see. Why would anybody pay 50 cents a game when they can buy the game and play it to their heart's content at home?

As for Twisted Metal? Could of been fun.

@Capp: Not sure if TM would come out for Live though. Did Jaffe ever say anything about a multiplatform TM?

@Murderdolls: you could always sell it. If there's one thing the generation has taught me, is that no one has to suffer from buyer's remorse (regardless of how ridiculous, misinformed, ignorant or retarded the reasoning for said remorse). Just sell it.

Patiently waiting with my 500$ black box that I never use for Twisted Metal.

@Capp: David Jaffe and his company are currently working on a Twisted Metal for the PS3.

Twisted Metal needs to be released for the newer systems for sure. the original games were so much fun to play multiplayer. They need to make it Live and PSN compatible though so we could have like 16 player carnage matches. And bring back some of the classic stages too.
I'd get it.

Capp

@excaliburps: it's funny, I have a couple of friends that swear WarGods was a great game that people didn't give a chance.

IMO It sucked so bad it made it on my top 10 worst fighting games ever made.

anyways, I wouldn't mind a new TM. I think it should be a PSN title though. I've grown spoiled running games from the HDD. Besides it would go well with Warhawk

@KLEPTO671: Don't worry, it's coming.

Midway? Odd. SCEI's relations with Namco under Nakamura was VERY tight knit that all arcade hardware that Namco had from 1994 and onward was PS based.

Twisted Metal as it was could've been reworked by Jaffe and released on System 11.

SG79

I think if a Twisted Metal was made for the PS3, the online portion would be fun. I loved Twisted Metal on the PSone...

KLEPTO671

Why aren't arcades alive anymore? There's so much potential! Just look at BlazBlue, SoulCalibur IV, Street Fighter IV, BattleFantasia, KoF XII, Tekken 6, etc.
Perhaps Twisted Metal was the game that would have kept arcades alive in America...
Damn you David Jaffe!!!!!

@Koztah: Ah War Gods! I tried playing that before...Didn't know how to make heads or tails of it! Mind you I was a pretty adequate MK and SF player then.

Wasn't there supposed to be some sort of TM3 for the PS3 announcement? If not, what's Sweet Tooth been doing all these years?

excaliburps

They teased TM for PS3 last year...and nothing at E3 this year. How long we gonna have to wait? Might be the one thing that can make me buy a PS3.

KaneTaker

Eh War Gods I try to forget that game but just reading this article brings back horrid memories.

Stevetrop

War Gods...

Damn you! Thrice damn you for awakening my repressed memories of that horrible PoS!

Koztah

Well, in some ways it could've been fun. Maybe a one on one car combat game, each player in one of their own car thingies like the arcade racing games, and so on.

Saint Anima

Twisted Metal Arcade game would be awesome, except... there is not too many arcades around anymore which sucks. Used to have 2 arcades in my city, now we have, 0.

Hulkamaniac

Less talky, more Twisted Metal PS3.

Please?

WallaJoy- Snorlax?

@Jun581 won't give you tree fiddy!!: He's just a troll. I doubt he even has a PS3.

An obvious reason why Arcades are not popular anymore, or as popular would be due to that nearly everyone has or could get access to home consoles, the arcades which we adored as children now reside as smaller versions that connect to the television, though I still miss the arcades, definitely alot of fun times held in them.

Rob Zombie needs to make a Twisted Metal movie.

Man, I loved going to the arcade as a kid. That truly was the place to see all the great games long before they ever hit a console. Arcades now suck. Rhythm games, a few shooters, and not much else. Always dead and games cost a buck just to play.

I remember every time a new Mortal Kombat would arrive, you could stand in line for an hour to pay your quarter and get your ass handed to you by some Japanese teenager who was on a winning streak of 40-0. I always thought that japan mailed them the moves/fatalities list when the games shipped because you'd see these kids pulling off hidden fatalities and super moves the day it came out. lol

We had an arcade in my town after I made it to highschool called "the buffalo nickel". It cost 2 bucks to get in and every game was a nickel. They had all the classics in 1 area and they were free to play, and all the new games were in the main area and were a nickel, maybe a dime tops with a nickel for continues. Definitely made games like House of the Dead beatable.

I miss those days sometimes. Makes me feel old though.

Capp

@ƒox: Why does everyone around here call me a troll lol it's getting insane considering I post like twice a week... And yes I do have a PS3 (Murderdolls90)

Murderdolls

@Striderhayasa - Phillyyakk on PSN and Live.: kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk I'm holding onto it for TM

Murderdolls

@Jun581 won't give you tree fiddy!!: Why would I see my PS3 for cheaper then I bought it for and buy it back again for full price when Twisted Metal comes out? Also I love my 360 it's my baby
