The game received mostly positive reviews, but for unknown reasons, Sony chose to not make any more games in the series, perhaps due to underwhelming sales.
The last game in the Twisted Metal series was also a reboot, released in 2012 exclusively for the PlayStation 3. There’s been no official announcement and no real talk from the studio on whether this report is true. It was early last year that VGC reported that Firesprite Studio had taken over development on a Twisted Metal reboot, but since that report, we’ve not heard anything about the game. The same job listing also describes the game, saying that it’ll feature a ‘blending genre-transcending gameplay mechanics around vehicular and on foot combat,’ heavily fuelling the idea that this could indeed be Twisted Metal.
The job listing also seems to hint heavily at PSVR 2 compatibility and a day-one PC launch, with the job listing stating that ‘experience developing gameplay for VR would be useful’ and ‘knowledge of a range of game services such as Steam and PSN back ends’ is important. AllStars was originally set to be priced at $70, however, weeks before launch, the game ended up delayed into 2021 and was free to PlayStation Plus subscribers for around two months, before eventually being listed in the store at around $20.Firesprite is currently hiring for a Principal Physics Programmer – Multiplayer Action, which could refer directly to the Twisted Metal reboot. Reports of Lucid's involvement in a Twisted Metal reboot surfaced back in September - at the time suggesting that the game could be set to feature a free-to-play model, similar to Destruction AllStars' last-minute development shift. In our very own rundown of the game, we awarded it a 6/10, stating that it contained a "disappointing lack of depth beneath the loud crashes, bangs, and wallops that feel so exciting at first." VGC states that the sources providing the information did not give a reason for Sony's change in developer, though one person did suggest that the mixed reception to Destruction AllStars could have factored into the decision.ĪllStars was met with muted reviews when it launched last year. At present, neither Sony nor Lucid Games have inclined to comment in regard to the report.
