Don't get me wrong I loved the TM series but i never considered the games to have much depth at all.
but theres weapon pick ups, combo moves, and bigger differences with vehicles, not to mention more complex maps, modes, and storylines for each character
Of course...when I get a PS5. After all I played Bleeding Edge (for about 30 minutes and never again) so why would I not play something potentially free?
It could be fun. I love the Twisted Metal games but I really don't like the aesthetic of this.
I'll give Bleeding Edge a try on my SX, but I don't have high hopes.
They tried to bring back Twisted Metal and it failed.
TM's aesthetic belongs in the late 90's/early 2000's.
I dig how varied some of these character designs in All Stars looks.

I feel like the mechanic where the on-foot character can hop dodge an incoming car, magnetize to it, and do a button mash to destroy it or steal it looks way way too easy to do on the on-foot player's side. I getting bad vibes from that, it looks like it will be super frustrating on the driver's end.
Really glad Sony didn't send this out to die at $70. Think a lot of people will enjoy this on PS+.
I thought 2012 in particular had almost too much going on, especially once you got really good at driving/reverse 180s and all that jazz. TM2 had a bit of a Mortal Kombat feel to me at the time with the special moves.

"This actually looks good?"
Lol, I kid I kid. Glad so many like what they see! Hopefully everyone enjoys playing it even more <3
Lol!
Vehicular combat games aren't really my cup of tea, but this does look really fun, and it being on PS+ guarantees I'm going to download it and give it a try! I'm really liking what I'm seeing of the on foot gameplay, and it not solely being a vehicles only game ups my interest significantly!
Congrats on reaching the finish line and launch for the game! I know how that is (and the simultaneous anxiety and anticipation when your baby is finally in the hands of gamers). Good luck to the team! Sending lots of well wishes and positive vibes to you guys and gals!
I still think there's room for Twisted Metal. That said, after watching this SoP, I don't think this game is anything like it or is trying to be like it, Allstars just looks like big, dumb fun. And there's nothing wrong with that.
Looks like a super fluid drop in and drop out experience. I'm just excited for the first true PS5 multiplayer game I can play with some friends who already have a PS5.
Looks great, I'm actually willing to buy it if I enjoy it on plus. When does it actually physically release?
It looks unfocused to me - like the goal was to combine Rocket League with Fortnite (visuals, Characters) and putting the gameplay loop second.
It still looks fun, but when both Rocket League and Fortnite have main modes that you can describe with a few short words each, here it feels a lot more like high concept multiplayer. Still fun to control and play but much harder to grasp what your goal is.

Not a huge fan of the exaggerated cartoonish animation. A little too on-the-nose in the inspiration it seems to have taken from Fortnite. The other thing that's odd to me is that they present hero abilities as if they're different in vehicle and on foot. For some heroes they might be, but then why did they showcase two heroes who have the exact same ability in both modes? Are they ever different?
Could be a lot of fun, though, which will make it easy to look past these nitpicks. /shrug - I won't know for awhile since it's PS5 exclusive.

Overall Visuals and damage/effects is what stood out imo. I'm not surprised by the handling given the nature of the game, the issue is rather the on foot superpower stuff.
They're saying the cars are mostly disposable, so yeah. There will likely be a counter to it, but seems like the idea is to get you out of your car fairly often.
This was a good showing for the game - I'm definitely more interested now and could see myself giving it a go.
I don't think these games translate well to trailer gameplay. When I first saw Rocket League I thought it looked dull yet I had a blast playing it. Saying that I do think it looked really boring and feel like it would get stale quickly, but I think it being free with PS+ is a really smart decision. This would have bombed so hard otherwise at the full RRP price tag.
It's PS5 exclusive. It won't be. Really disappointed since it looks really fun.
Maybe it eventually comes to PC. 🤷🏾♂️
I remember Jim talking about how they might want to release some of their future multiplayer games on PC.
Edit- can't find the story online, so maybe it wasn't Jim and was someone else at Sony.
Edit#2- it was Shawn Layden 😬 and that was back in 2019. Soooo we'll see.

Mostly because it was being sold at $70usd/$125aud at the start probably.
The guy in the video during that part says "react faster than the driver and you can take over or destroy the other car" and then theres 2 different colored bars that fill up so it seems to be a mashing contest between the driver and the person who mounts. And when one person fills up the bar it resets and switches the face button you have to mash and it looks like it's best 2 out of 3 for the contest
Reminds me of destruction derby, and this looks really fun.
They should have released this kind of footage months ago....
