Destruction AllStars |OT| Party’s Over

Tell me about it. All we've got on PS4/5 is Twisted Metal Black. I'm not even that hot on it compared to the PS3 game or Twisted Metal 4 (childhood favorite), but it still scratched that vehicular mayhem itch I've been dying for. Only a little though.
Unfortunately, all Destruction AllStars has accomplished is to make me even hungrier for that kind of game.
I think it definitely comes across as a very polished game. But I've only played a few matches. So far, I'm very much impressed by what they've released, and the potential for further growth and expansion is very high. Just a really solid start for a new IP. I'm looking forward to playing more after work today, honestly!
I think that if they take in the feedback now that it's out in the wild, and update the game based on the biggest complaints/suggestions it could be a real winner. the pieces are all there it sounds like they just need to be finessed. lots of great examples of games taking a warm launch and turning it into massive successes
Honestly, it looks really nice, plays nice and feels nice, but I don't think games like that are for me and I'm reaaaaally bad at it so far. I tried the 4 modes and I kinda liked the first one the most. Gridfall could be nice but I got knocked out very quickly every time. The point based ones feel very technical, and considering I barely know the game, I wasn't able to get into them. I haven't tried a lot of characters, just used the wrestler mostly, which seemed cool.
Another game that proves photorealistic graphics aren't the silver bullet. The art style graphics and destruction on this game are great.
Looks great, DualSense utilization is fantastic, but I can't help but wish this also had a racing portion with the destruction aspects kept in place. You've got the characters and their respective vehicles as is, would be great to see as an added mode way down the line.
It's pretty much as I expected but that's not a bad thing really. I played through the first free single player challenge and a few Arcade matches and it's actually pretty fun.
The car destruction is great, it's super satisfying to slam into an opponent at high speed and smash them into oblivion, sending the driver flying out the car.
It might not have a ton of depth but it works as a game you can play for an hour, have a blast then put it down and come back to it later, whenever you need a quick fix.

Defaulted me to Europe too. Should be a setting in the options for "US Central".
When are the Oceanic servers being deployed? Or is this going to be another game where we get overlooked?

The previous Twisted Metal unfortunately sold like 12 copies total and car combat genre isn't really flying off the shelves. I think it's a dead genre like arena shooters. A product of the 90s and we gotta wait for a generational return when another generation of kids start playing those :D

Due to the online nature it's actually sad that the Burnout style takedown slow-motion effects are only in single player :P
I'm not big on popular multiplayer games (Rocket League, Fortnite, Fall Guys, etc...) But I'm really loving this. I could see myself squeezing in a few rounds every now and then.
god......I don't know how they thought the initial $70 price tag for this was ever going to hold. This game would have probably bombed super hard if it wasn't for the switch in rev generation and PS+.
It's a fun game to pick and play for a bit.....but its going to get stale very fast for a lot of people I can see. Does not have a super hook in the gameplay like rocket league.

Yeah it is a little bit because it's great to see the cars explode and go flying in slow motion.
Buddy and I were able to get one match of Carnado in and it seems like matchmaking has completely broken now? I got three network errors and after restarting a few times we can't get past the matchmaking 16/16 players found screen.
Haven't played online yet but offline the matches seem a bit long, I like the look of it though. Good that it's a Plus game will give it another go tomorrow!
Played 3 rounds and I didn't have that much fun :c I'll give it another shot a couple months down the line.
No camera control while driving, only on foot. Gotta rely on the minimap when in car.
Rocket League has the low entry but high skill ceiling to it which keeps people hooked. I played a few rounds yesterday and definitely liked what I played. but whether I'll keep going back will be interesting.
There's also little arrows that come up under your car that'll tell you when someone is near you too.
Game is fun. Character/car controls well. There is a bit of a steep learning curve as far as learning different characters/abilities are concerned.
I agree about the complaints regarding in-game music. Also, wish they had a small tutorial for all different game modes.

Had high hopes for this one but nothing about it is fun. Most importantly the driving and crashing doesn't feel good. The cars all being stuck to the ground is such a bad decision. There should be jumps and shit where cars are smashing together in air. All of the on foot stuff isn't compelling either. Thrown on top of that game modes that don't really add anything to the experience of driving around running into things, I just don't find this game fun at all. Gonna wait till my friends and I can all party up and play before I render a final verdict but the two essential components of this game, driving and wrecking are boring.
I have multiple online Mayhem matches under my belt now and a few Challenges. I'm digging it. I need to try out the other modes still.
It feels fresh and interesting. I want to play more, learn more, and keep honing my skills. I feel like I've only scratched the surface on all the characters too and their special moves. Was just playing Muna and her ability to trigger traps while on foot was kinda cool.
Honestly, I don't have an issue with (mostly) no music in matches. I'm used to this from other MP games, and when the final countdown music does come in during the last 30 seconds or so...it gets me hyped.

I actually experiences that as well, but restarting the game corrected it for me. Sorry to hear your experience. :(

This is gonna become a nice go to fix for some online arcade gameplay for me. Only got a single victory in Mayhem so far but all my rounds have just been really good fun.
Yeah it's weird. Solo matchmaking started working fine but anytime we try to go in as a party it errors out.
The volume is really low in this game. Also, lack of music is a bit of a bummer. Fun in short bursts though.
You can, it's R3 and there's a UI prompt for it on the bottom of the screen.
I think yall can use Spotify for now if you need music.
But yeah I'm sure they'll add music for game play if enough people ask for it. If it's a licensing issue, they could just use the menu music. 🤷🏾♂️
