I remember Jaffe talking up the graphics from GOW3 when he visited Santa Monica Studios. At that time he mentioned that his new game will be using Warhawks engine.

I could see that as Warhawk has a kind of TM look to it with the exaggerated look of the characters. I don't really know how to describe it other than, you can see Incog's and Jaffe's finger prints all over it.

I am glad I was wrong about this game, next year I will be broke.

Yep, Calling All Cars and Warhawk shared the same tech too.

Yeah that's a patient getting shot out of an Ambulance.

My most anticipated game by far!

"Regarding the attacks on our visuals, I have this to say:

1) We deliver an anti-aliased, 720p, HDR experience. We support 1080p
output (with noticeable improvement to UI elements). We’re not “sub HD”
by any stretch of the imagination.
2) We’re still pre-alpha which means we aren’t even done writing
graphics code let alone tuning the art content to go with it.
3) Many textures and shaders are pre-alpha quality and will be improved.
4) Most screenshots and video on the web were taken from video cameras
rather than direct screen capture. They don’t represent even our
current quality level.
5) We don’t want to drop our frame rate even though we have a megaton of
action on the screen with dynamic physics and lighting (and eventually
four player splitscreen!)
6) Our levels are large with very long draw distances. Everything you
see is an interactive world, not simply static geometry. A lot of it is
destructible.
and finally,
7) We haven’t even shown our best stuff yet. If anything, we’ve only
shown our oldest stuff, and our artists keeping discovering new ways to
improve visual quality.

SO- with all that said- I think players are in for a treat all around, visual included. Our team is super talented and crazy hard workers. It’s only going to get better from here!

David"

Personally, I believe anyone complaining about pre alpha graphics need to find a new hobby.

No wonder I thought this looked good - from the makers of Warhawk!

Hmmm...I wonder when this releases, we'll get to have an online gathering like we used to in Warhawk? Good times.

These days, there are so many games that it seems difficult to get anything going these days.

I've tried twice to get a ModNation game going - just no one around.

[BlackLightShark009]

I'd be down to play Twisted Metal with all of you. The game looks sweet!

[Monkey]

Warhawk engine is one of the best there is IMO. This games should end up being buttery smooth with tons of action

I wish I could play TM:Black on the PS3.

Ahhh, we might give it a try anyway. Warhawk was a pretty niche game, but we still got that going alright.

The Warhawk leaderboard went over a million awhile ago, I wouldn't exactly call that niche

Well...niche in the sense that it wasn't heavily promoted like a lot of games nowadays.

[Shin-Ra]

The God of War style main menu's .

You can see it direct feed 720p at reasonable quality in the last Sony E3 press conference video.

Well I'd love to say that I'm psyched for this game, but that wouldn't be enough... I AM SO ****ING PUMPED FOR THIS GAME LIKE NO GAME BEFORE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Twisted Metal franchise has stolen more of my time than any other game franchise other than the NHL series. With Jaffe behind it, I have no doubt it's gonna be awesome.

Love that it has 4 player split-screen, I have friends over a lot and we play on a 110" projector setup, so split-screen still matters to this guy. We really struggle with split-screen games these days because nobody seems to make it a feature in their games. Split-screen Twisted Metal is about as nostalgic as it gets for me. Thank You David Jaffe!

[Psybits]

looking from the trailer seems like there might be team battles

[DefTechPioElite]

I've never really played twisted metal, this looks bad ass though! I have a ps2 and ps3, what Twisted Metal game would everyone recommend for me to go back and play to get the best experience?
