TM4 had one thing that made me really love it and that was the create-a-car mode. That was fun. Truly fun. I'd say Black is my fav, followed by TM2 and TM4. I didn't like the PS3 Twisted Metal because of the aforementioned 3 characters only. The game needs characters.

@@EG_John TM4 was great and introduced a lot of novel features and mechanics we haven't seen in the series before or since. However the main problem with the game was balance. The Custom Cars whilst fun had roughly half the health of the stock cars, and the boss cars generally had roughly 2-2.5 times the health of the stock cars as well as overpowered specials like Sweet Tooth's and Moon Buggy's that all but guaranteed an opponent's death each time you used them; even if you had no line of sight on them. There was also a huge issue with instakills via placing stacked proximity bombs on the ends of one-way portals (these would deal massive damage and send any vehicle flying out of the map, almost always guaranteeing their death even if they activated invincibility). You could also camp portals and one-way rooms with remote bombs and remote freeze bombs, adding to the tactical elements of the game but also adding hardcore cheese elements to the normally fast-paced series. Another issue was there was no cooldown on freeze effects. You could be frozen again and again by freeze missiles, remote freeze bombs, certain specials, etc until they ran out; leaving you no way to retaliate (especially if the combo was initiated with a remote freeze bomb on the other end of a portal). Using invincibility could counter freeze combo initiations, but it also left you with no energy left to use freeze missiles of your own after, often leaving you at a disadvantage. The unlockable polygon levels, the interactive level hazards, the secret areas in levels, and custom cars were some of my favourite things about the game though. Those were great fun and made TM4 one of the most memorable games in the series by far.

Mad Respect for this franchise Great Memories with TM1 and TM2

I don't care what anyone says. Twisted Metal 4 is THE definitive game that defines the twisted metal franchise. The characters were great too with a perfect mixture of goofy and badasses. The soundtrack was perfect with the Rob Zombie remixes, the create your own character option was also pretty fun. It also make Sweet Tooth the big boss of the game rather than Calypso, which they acknowledged in his ending. Speaking of which, you can finally play as Calypso. The maps are incredibly memorable and big with the construction zone, neon city, the bedroom, carnival, etc. The controls are a little clunky, but still pretty tight compared to the other games. TM4 is by far my favorite and I honestly don't understand how anyone can say it's the worst one of the franchise.

god, this video sent me down the path of looking up all these old ps1 games me and my brother used to play over and over on demo discs and it became tradition for us to play net yaroze on every demo disc despite having same games every damn month and always "adventure game" and that maze game with the zombies lol i remember my brother playing the Klonoa dtp demo so much one year visiting our grandparents house that my gran'dad went out and got it for him to play, this was before we had a PlayStation as my gran'dad was a gamer in the early to mid 90's so that Christmas they got us a ps1. i know this is unrelated to video but brought back childhood nostalgia! so thanks for that.

Love your style, presentation, sense of humor, and the overall polish and effort you've clearly put into your content. I'll definitely be back in the future for more.

I still have a real special place in my collection for TM4. Me and my now deceased younger brother spent countless hours on it. Nostalgia glasses aside it wasn't perfect. However I don't feel it was judged fairly due it coming after TM3 and being by the same people.

When I talked to him about it he said he absolutely hated working on Twisted Metal. He mentioned that he loved designing cars but hated how the story of the games were often dark and grisly. I'm genuinely very proud of him, he's such a fuckin' remarkably talented and witty guy; I admire the shit outta him.

Awesome!

I remember loving Twisted Metal 3. It was the first of the series i played, and that is probably the reason I loved it. I didn't have the other 2 to compare them to.

I grew up in the states. I remember advertisements for Twisted Metal. I remember playing it at the local Hills(old department store like walmart without the groceries), on their display back in the electronics section, but back then I had no idea what the game truly was. My brother and I just picked "the motorcycle guy" and "the big truck." I never really played the first one outside of that until much later. However, one time, over the summer, my older brother's friend spent like a week at our house, and he brought his playstation and Twisted Metal 2. We were instantly hooked and ran out and bought our own playstation and that game as soon as the friend had gone home. Then whenever Twisted Metal 3 came out, it was no question. We were buying it. What we got was a HUGE disappointment. All the original music was gone. Characters were gone or changed, and it all just felt like it wasn't the same game anymore, like it didn't have the same tone or vision. That game was the final lesson in never purchasing a game without trying it first. I didn't play it long enough, and it was too long ago for me to remember what else I disliked about it, but there were plenty of other things, and it wasn't just me who felt the way I did about it. I never even bothered with 4 at all. And from what I've seen of it, I'm glad I didn't. Black was almost too dark, but I can't deal with the suddenly reversed steering when driving backwards. in TM2, when you hit right on the d-pad while reversing, the rear of your car goes to the right... just like when you turn your steering wheel right while reversing in your real car. Black reversed that for a reason I couldn't possibly begin to comprehend. And Head-On did the same thing, if I remember correctly. So I never really played those much either. Small Brawl was a neat little throwback to 2, I guess, but I just could never get excited about another Twisted Metal again like the 2nd one.

Excellent series review, very thoughtfully and thoroughly done. Having played all the Twisted Metal games thoroughly since their release into the present, IMO Black is the best Twisted Metal game, followed by TM2012, TM2, Head On, TM4, Small Brawl, TM3, and then TM1. TM2012 could have been the series' best, but IMO Talon and cheesy freeze + nuke tactics inhibited it a bit overall, as did the initial online multiplayer issues you mentioned on its release. Talon was a fun idea in TM2012 and was super fun to play as, but was a major pain in the ass to play against due to most weapons not being effective against it in the air and it being almost unkillable if it stayed above buildings or in your blind spots high in the sky whilst gathering weapons, chipping away at opponents, and opportunistically killing weakened opponents (in the case of it flying high above you, not even freeze missiles would freeze Talon long enough to cause it to hit the ground, and it could then recover, freeze you, and punish you). It also was able to ruin the balance of the game to an extent by being able to fly up and grab really powerful out-of-the-way weapons and pickups most vehicles had to dedicated significant effort to get, its ability to camp those weapon/pickup spawns, abuse out of bounds areas to be super hard to kill, and pick up and carry objective-carrying players with its alt special in objective mode. I mained him and got a huge K/D ratio back in the day (I even beat the world record K/D Reaper in several 1v1 fights to the death at the game's peak), but it made me not really want to play any other character whenever possible; limiting my overall enjoyment of the game compared to Black and TM2 where I liked playing all the different characters.

TM2 will hold a special place for me as the times I got to hang out with my older brother. Just watching him play it was fun for me and it was one the few things we bonded over.

Same here bud :)

Black was objectively the best of the Twisted Metal games. You should really dedicate a couple days to TM4 though, play it with a friend on split-screen. It's probably the best out of the early era.

i loved TM3 so F the critics

Hell yeah man, I'm with you 100%. I've never heard anyone say anything bad about 3, I think this guy's just jealous because it was North American exclusive hahaha

i loved twisted metal black so much as a kid. So many late nights with my brother playing all the different campaigns. the soundtrack too was clappin

yup first 10seconds gave me the chills.

Im glad u went over small brawl. Not many people talk about it but its the best in the series next to 2 and black. The maps were fun and unique the weapons were nice and the style and characters were fresh and cool. But it still felt like tm and had so many cool secrets and what no to unlock hidden characters and maps that the game felt so mysterious as a kid

also i love twisted metal so this was a treat to me thanks for this awesome review ❤️😎

Great video man,i wish you talked about the awesome soundtrack of all this games,great music in this games,im a huge Rob Zombie fan,cheers!

Saying the car combat genre was saturated is a gross overstatement. Twisted Metal, Rogue Trip and Vigilante 8, that's pretty much it. Yes, I know there were others, but not on console, which is all that matters for the time. All three series were great and had their own interesting mechanics and were different enough that they didn't feel like copies of each other. But no, the car combat genre was never as hugely popular as you make it sound like it was. If everybody loved them, why aren't there any today? Nobody makes these types of games anymore, because everyone wants to play the same fps and fighting games they have for the past 20 years. I really do wish that car combat was its own dedicated genre with some new developers throwing out ideas now and again, but that won't happen because the money simply isn't there. Technically speaking, the only 'car combat' series you could say is continually successful is Mario Kart. That sentence makes me want to throw up. People love combat games, people love racing games, but not even combat racing games are a thing (except for Mario Kart, again). I'd LOVE to see a new Twisted Metal. I'd LOVE to see a new Road Rash. But I know it's not going to happen.

Seems to be the same with flight/space flight dogfighter sim games. There hasn't been a good one since the days of Wing Commander and Colony Wars.

@@KingmanHighborn The space combat modes in Star Wars Battlefront 2 are really good.

Mikey Mouse Mania is okay just the hit detection is off, I think best Mikey game is Castle of Illusion

One of the best series, most unique characters ever!

Black is my favorite overall; but Twisted Metal 2 had 1 gameplay aspect that NONE of the others had; the cars had personalities. They each used different tactics; Mr. Slam with his freezing; Outlaw was always the last one you'd kill; etc. If Black had this, it'd be perfection.

New subscriber here. Saw your Splatterhouse and this one....two of my all time favorites, as well. You do great work, sir. Gonna see Double Dragon next. Btw, my favorite Twisted Metals...2 & Black. Still play 2 on my Vita from time to time.

Twisted Metal 1 is one the best game on PSX. I believe Motor Toon is sony oldest exclusive franchise. It was released in 1994

lol at Boogie's theme playing. I see you guys already know where the most fun is in Vigilante 8!

Great video! 🤟🏻
