Several members of SingleTrac (the studio that created the first two “Twisted Metals”) rejoined to form “Incog Inc.”, they went right to work on what would be a new twist on an already deranged idea. It wouldn’t come on the Playstation, but the system’s successor, the “Playstation 2”. Fans still held out hope that one-day “Twisted Metal” would return to its former glory.
The “Twisted Metal” franchise would switch studios and deteriorate in quality. My father and I became addicted to the game, spending many weekend nights trying to outmaneuver each other while blowing up the aforementioned Paris monument. While the premise sounded relatively simple and potentially boring after a couple of rounds, I discovered “TM 2” was an effort in violent excess featuring interesting and varied locales (including Paris), an incredible amount of weapons to choose from, secrets galore and one of the greatest renditions of “Frere Jacques” ever. Reading the game’s instruction manual on the way home revealed to me that “Twisted Metal 2” was a “car combat” game where the player selects a car and attempts to kill the virtual fighters hoping to annihilate you.
Outside of the game’s title, I had no idea what in the world “Twisted Metal 2” was … and I didn’t care I had to play this game.īack then you could get away with blood on your game covers Looking around at the various game covers, a chaotic, disturbing sight featuring a man attached to two giant wheels shooting rockets at a bulldozer in front of the Eiffel Tower quickly caught my eyes. Not long after attaining my Playstation, I had an opportunity to visit the local video store.
By that point, Sony’s first try into the hardware video game world was already two years old and had a pretty extensive library. Now lets take a trip down this electronic memory lane.Ĭhristmas 1997 was a great time for me as my parents centered my presents around my first “Playstation” console. That is what the Video Gamer’s Experience is all about. Do you remember that day you received your first video game console? How about that time you discovered a secret stage that none of your friends knew about? Those days of being so excited for the latest iteration in a long-running series, only to be disappointed or have your expectations exceeded beyond your wildest dreams.
