A Twisted Metal retrospective featuring the man behind the burning clown himself? Sign me up!
Also, gaming industry? Do us a favor and bring back the car combat games, please!
Game industry here:
We will gladly bring back car combat games, are you willing to pay for 3/4ths of the combatants and $2 each for cosmetic items?
Crossout would like a word with you
Not if Sony don't get off their high horse about story,But their doing well so far on remakes maybe Twistwd Metal can get the same treatment.
@@turtleguymcturtle4303 a twisted metal remake could be very good or very bad.
The track record is good so far.
@@turtleguymcturtle4303 i want to see combination of TM2 and TM4. I'm sad when play in TM4 without Twister, Hammerhead or Grasshopper.
You know, that comment about those developers bitching about "Gore and death is fine, but women in bikinis are a no-no" remind me a lot to videogames of today's age
Cough.. cough..."MK11" cough...
In their defense, a lot of the skimpy outfits in MK9 had like no style and are downright embarrassing. Also it's not like characters in MK11 are wearing burqas.
@@gamermilk2989 Agree to some extend, (Jade never looked that good) the problem I have is how boring the females look. With the exception of 2 character, every female looks boring and uninteresting with a lack of diversity. Why does a young adult like Cassie has to be covered up with armor while a general like Baraka has a skin that rocks booty shorts and tatoos? Diversity is the issue I have with the skins in MK11

@Artuurs Z. You know, this may be the first time I'm seeing someone White Knighting a girl from a videogame. Thank you for showing me how much of a loser you are lol
Idk about all that but I remember all tits and asses in the Injustice games. Particularly the second one. If anything I feel like we see less and less gore in video games. I think the ability for higher graphical fidelity is making gore unpalatable for a lot of devs - it was fine when it was just red polygonal gibs. The last game that wasn't cartoony that had serious gore in it was like, fucking Red Dead Redemption 2 - the quality on the human viscera was higher than on the animal carcasses, like when you skin an animal, the skinned carcass is kinda blurry on purpose but you can literally blow someone's fucking face off with a shotgun - up close - sticking it under their chins - and it's in glorious 1080p.
He actually got Mel McMurrin to do the voice in the ending! Awesome!!
Is that who voiced Calypso?
@@thelonelywolf88 Yes! :D
It's funny, I was about to Google it until I saw your comment
I'm friends with mel, great guy
God I want a New Twisted Metal, Such a great series
yeah, i hope Twisted Metal game will be back one day
I want it too but if they just copy head on, black, and then twisted metal 2012 ehhh idk. Number 2 was the best gameplay with how quick u can spin around and how much ramming was part of the gameplay
Black was good but headon and 2012 just felt like it was trying to copy that vibe with how the weps look and travel. 1 and 2 had the best atmosphere.
The TM2 Marcus Kane ending and "text ending" of TM1 Bruce (Thumper) will always be my favorite two conclusions to the story. Marcus may have his in animated form, but to imagine that 2005 Los Angeles becomes a place of peace because of one man's wish...that's pretty awesome, even if the "ANTI-CLIMACTIC" ending didn't make it to the game.
I love the way david talks. Hes informal, frank, earnest and REAL. Developers today are so damn fake and rigid, constantly worried about publisher overlords or stock values.
It really shows that as much as gaming has gained in some aspects, its also lost equally in others.
I've been waiting for months since I saw you tease this. Cant wait to get through it all!
Holy shit...you got Mel to do this!? AWESOME! I knew it was him when I heard his voice, nobody can replicate it. Regarding the video, I learned alot of new things so thank you for this. Subbing to the channel so I can see the next parts.
"and I was like fuck it, I went to film school sorta. Let's make some fuckin' movies" David Jaffe is my spirit animal. Great retrospective man! Thanks for creating it.
David Jaffe, such a awesome honest guy. He really loves his game. So do I David, there’s nothing else like it.
This was incredible, I hope Part 2 is coming soon.
Everyone always forgets about this game series or only remembers the 2nd or most recent one. Twisted Metal 4 will always be my favorite.
Edit: Wow! It all makes sense now. Single Track left and went to GT Interactive and they ended up making Rogue Trip. Who also created Duke Nukem: A Time to Kill.
That’s wildly ironic actually.
Dude you are freaking awesome im still waiting for that part 2. Good job bro
It's coming along well. I'm not sure how much longer, but hopefully soon. Hope you stick around!
@@Ghenry Definitely! You deserve more subscribers I like your channel you always talk about my favorite franchises that nobody else talks about them these days but you still support them! Keep up the good work also I can't wait for David Jaffe to talk more about twisted metal lost in part 2
Thank you for all the time and detail put into this! please do this for as many video games as you can.
Holy shit! Part 1?! You mean there's more???
_(This retrospective is sold seperately)_
Thanks for making this! I have so many amazing memories of Twisted Metal.
Upstairs out of sight of the adults at a Christmas party, getting to play TM 1 with the older kids.
Endless summer hours playing TM 2 and then 3&4.
Reminiscing in college as I met new friends who had similar memories of TM 2. Getting a chance to see the cutting edge visuals in TM Black.
Discovering TM Head On and rediscovering the series all over again.
And introducing my future fiancee to the series I'd had with me for so long via TM 2012.
I know if there were a TM 2019 I'd probably be happy for some updated mechanics and controls, but for me the old games still hold up so well as trips back to the past. I'm really grateful for this series. =)
And for me, the hatred of 989's TM 3&4 are overblown.
Sure, they weren't up to the revolutionary standard of TM2. But a respectable amount of the soul carried on, and at the time I was hungry for more Twisted Metal. Maybe something more like Head On would have extended the popularity of the series better, but I can't say I didn't put many enjoyable hours into what we had. -\(0.0)/-
I can see what is meant by TM3&4 not really having the same heart or charm as games. But tbh, having the Rob Zombie based soundtrack really helped but bandaid on that.
Something I didn't include (I'll eventually release full versions of the interview since there's bits of info left on the cutting room floor), Jaffe said Rob Zombie's involvement was the one thing he liked from TM4, so he definitely gets you there
Only just noticed, so many years after playing the game, that the doctor in Roadkill's TM2 ending is speaking with Calypso's voice.
deutschbagnl a black calypso 😆
this rocks thanks for making this video. i'm sure it took a lot of work to put this together
DAMN, this was SO awesome! I can't wait for part 2! Great job, big homie. May Calypso grant your every wish, without irony!
The first games lost endings may be hokey as shit, but I am entertained by every single one of them.
Dude, thank you for making these, this is fucking awesome.
the original is still my fave, it has a grimy grungy mid 90s look and style that is completely gone by TM2. I also love the realistic creepy character portraits over the comic book style of the second and third games or the dark style of Black. Sweet Tooth looks the scariest and creepiest in this game more than any other.
Hell yeah dude great video
That ending was the most long drawn out dunkey reference I've ever seen Omg I loved it
Wow dude, your work is absolutely amazing.
My favourite games to watch my dad play when i was a kid.
Dad used to revel in the identity the game earned him in the eyes if my brother and i.
He used to love playing any driving game that left you shoot, or at the very least run away from and crash into cops and other cars.
He played the hell out of Driver as well.
Used to call himself The Wheel Man.
The imagery and crazyness of the series made going for a ride in the car with dad a super fun time.
Couldn’t help but think of the games when we’d jump in his car.
We’d be trying to get to a store before it closed, and dad would pull in right on time and say something like “the wheel man does it again” lol
Sounds cheesy, but if twisted metal was a real tournament, my dad would be a legend.
Hey...twisted metal is the game I would say defines my childhood so I'm watching mad twisted metal videos lately and I like your video alot compared to others. Great job bud
Those low budget endings in twisted metal 1 were way better than birdemic
I’m so jelly to calypso to voice that at the end
And sadly my favorite twisted metals were 4 and black
I really enjoyed most if not all the features 4 had
Dude that Kamen Rider Ryuki mirror noise in those ending clips are so weird to here.
I was only 10 when TM3 came out and my brothers even younger, and we all hated and couldn’t understand what they were thinking with the characters. We played it, but quickly dumped it to go back and continue playing TM2. You nailed it when you said 3 and 4 felt soulless. We loved the story and numerous hidden areas of 1/2
This was great. I saw the video was so long, but I actually ended up watching the whole thing lol I can't wait for the next one.
I love hearing about all this Twisted Metal history
Huge props for getting Mel to voice Calypso. He is such an awesome guy to chat with
I got mad respect for this man.
"If you're going to be stupid, go for crazy. No one forgets crazy." - Louis C.K.
2 is my favorite but I remember going to Toys R Us and buying both 3 and 4 when they came out and I played the shit out of all of them beating each character to see their ends. 3 and 4 had a lot of secrets and although there are aspects I don't like about them they serve their own purpose and I have tons of nostalgia for them. As much as I'd love to live in alternate reality to see what they could have been with the original creators I don't think I would do it if it meant the one's we got were never made. But if we could go back in time maybe that would be different. I feel like it's a lot easier to come in and say they are shit if you didn't play them as a kid. As an adult stepping in and playing them for the first time, or if you were part of the original team of creators. Then I could see why it deserves bashing. But to me they were great games on their own right and if you were a fan of the series as a kid I'm sure you got just as much of a kick out of playing them as me.
Skyblazer is definitely a hidden gem.
Been a very long time since I played the first game. TM2, Black and the last one was the most I played. I only now realized that the ID card for Road Kill in the first game is a picture of Jaffe. I might be wrong but it looks like him.
Oh shit was not expecting that custom ending at the end there that was just straight chef's kiss there. And damn that one face Calypso was making gave me chills...
Man I wish I was able to play this series in its hay day, back when I was able to play video games with family on a more regular and frequent basis. Alas I never had a PS1 and was exceptionally terrible at car based games. And by the time I got a PS2 _(albeit for the first Kingdom Hearts)_ my brother and cousins pretty much played Dave Mirra BMX exclusively so getting such titles as TM Black was pointless.
But even as an outside observer I can still appreciate these games beyond just the base level car combat.
Some of my fondest childhood memories was playing twisted metal 1 and 2 with my brother. At the time it was the most pure fun out there.
A very well down video GhenryPerez 👏🏻.
This is really, really cool. I wish there were more gaming documentaries. I actually got to know Twisted Metal with 3 and 4, playing those with my friends around the block is my childhood but I can understand the criticisms. What David Jaffe said about 989 studios and the people who like TM3 and TM4 was pure class.
I hope he gets to make another AAA title at some point with some actual success this time.
Played this to death in my childhood. Thank you so much for creating tgis franchise. You rock!!!!!!!!!!
I like that Ratchet with big black eyebrows sells better in Japan. Also FRUIT weapons would have been a hilarious cheat code for the Twisted Metal games.
57:00 HOLY SHIT, THAT’S THE ORIGINAL VA!
Could be cool to make a series of mini comics that dive deeper into each driver lore either there background or wishes whatever
Be ready to hire me as a full time editor because I almost lost my fucking job laughing about this at work.
Really nice video. Good job. :)
Lmao calypso pulling out the tec-9 is hilarious
I love how much cursing there is in this. That's how you know it's from the horse's mouth, he's saying fuck once every other sentence or so.
Honestly I’m kinda sad/surprised we never got a driver that’s a Japanese bootleg Sweet Tooth driving in a food truck, with his ice cream missiles being replaced with watermelons
TH-cam recommendations got it right today. Thanks for making this video. When McMurrin said "Mr. Perez" I was shook lol
The fact that the studio named themselves 989 Studios purely cause of the address kinda explains the lack of creativity behind the endings in their games.
Who up twisting they metal rn
If this game doesn't get at the least a remaster of the originals after this Twisted Metal show coming out I'm gonna be pissed!
41:06 I really feel that Critical Depth is under appreciated. It has much of the same game play and aspects of Twisted Metal and has amazing atmosphere.
Twisted metal 2 is one of the best ps1 games
This was the best game on the demo disc...me and my brother played it for weeks until we saved enough $ and got the full game...good times!
I am Calypso and I thank you for watching Ghenry's Video~!
I loved TM3 growing up, but now I see the comparisons of the cutscenes compared to 1 and 2, I'm seriously facepalming
Any kind of update on when part 2 will be out (if there will be a part 2)? Very much enjoyed this
Working on it.
Everyone says 3 and 4 were the worst … I started out with 3 and 4. And later, Black. They seemed like they had a ton of character, and more dynamic, even if they're so goofy. But now I can see why the originals were better. Jaffe should always be involved in any Twisted Metal game/story put out.
Wish they still would keep making them for all consoles
Make this a Netflix series
Welcome back 😍😍😍😍😍
51:57 where was that footage from? I know it was a bonus interview with Dave and Scott from TM:Head On but I can't find it anywhere on YT anymore.
Are you going to mention Twisted Metal Black's deleted scenes in your retrospective with David Jaffe and overall in both your opinions if stuff like this shouldn't have been cut in the final product? while your at it do you think the ESRB and publishers has made it harder for developers to express their creative freedoms in gaming today? I just watch your first video of Twisted Metal ps1 from 1-4 and it was nice for you to get David on board.
We go very in-depth on what happened with Twisted Metal Black's production as well as the cutscenes. Jaffe's got some kooky things to say about that and dealing with higher-ups when it came to the stories. It'll still be a bit until part 2 is ready, but you'll see!
@@Ghenry Thanks for the heads up! I'm looking forward to when part 2 of the retrospective is uploaded.
“ there was no hit box and shit” lmao
I CANT BELIEVE THEY MADE A GAME ABOUT HONKLER!
We need part 2
Cool video! Twisted Metal 2 was just awesome back then. Spent endless nights split screen playing that with my best friend.
Twisted metal needs to come back
A twisted metal movie a kin to sin city or saw a slasher like super stylized story with real stunts and explosions
I generally dont like when adults use "fucking" as an adjective but it just works with Jaffe lmao
I played this as a kid.
in regards to the entire rant from 55:10 on
My only issue with this is the later creation of Twisted Metal (2012) (which i have my own list of complaints about) literally decharacterises the cars into... well, cars (and Talon). It effectively reduces the characters to 3, maybe 4 characters. There isn't those intriguing characters and endings that made the first 2 games fun. Its almost ironic in a way
They really goofed on the last twisted metal. Longtime fanboy of the whole series but it wasn't better than black or head on. There is definitely a weird formula with TM storytelling that you can see they tried to copy from Black but didn't succeed. I don't fault them, they had over a decade away from development and maybe the true charm of Twisted Metal, like Spawn, is they are truly 90s creations. The 2001 emergence of Black was a culmination of everything happening at that time. They really should have never did a cinematic driven story and just stuck with powerful and yet simple tales from a good 8 drivers. There is something interesting about how Black's cinematics will hold up in time more than the live action version of 2012. A huge treat with Twisted Metal is the lore and how smart it was.
Why was the opening for TM2 in Japanese?
The only good thing to come from the 989 TM games was Rob Zombie music in TM4, but that's literally it.
Let's get a petition going for a TM2 remake...
dude mr. jaffe is cool
As a kid, going from Twisted Metal 2 to Twisted Metal 3 was one of the most jarring experiences I had in gaming growing up. They are completely different games and TM3 and TM4 were horrible.
Twisted Metal is awesome.
I like 4 (custom cars) better than 2 (cartoon endings) but 1 (the classic) is my favorite. Black was so literally dark (hard to see) and none of the whismy of 1 I loved.
God if these could've gone on Microsofts consoles I think the later titles would've sold SO MUCH BETTER
I do hope you get into Twisted Metal with the toy cars it was one of my favorites
Calypso sounds like Neo Cortex.
this is dynamite, thank you
Was that fucking Mel McMurrin at the end?
Was "arena shooter" not a term back then? I'm almost positive they existed back then. That's what Twisted Metal is, a vehicle based arena shooter.
Edit: The second I saw that fuckin' Dunkey shirt I knew EXACTLY where this was going.
What game was that with the bat & the tombstone intro ?
i remember so goddam well being 9-10 year old in finland kid watching ps1 demo cd what comed with ps they advertised twisted metal and warhawk i ilmost comed in my pants lol that much exiting it was ii had twisted metal 2 and i beated it to oblivion
3&4 had rob zombie which helped me forgive the shit story and bastardization of characters
37:16 WAIT LET HIM SPEAK!
tm 2012 almost seamed like a prequal to black especially with an ending that jaffee released involving the preacher ending up in the asylum made me think story wise for the preacher you'll want to play through 2012 then black
I wish Noah Caldwell
Gervais would
do you know when part 2 will be uploaded at all? ;3
Love the video.
I'm gonna point out that you ripped on Juggalos once in the video (I am one). I am used to Juggalos getting ripped on, so I take no offense. But I just wanted to point out that at the end of the video, both David Jaffe and yourself describe the reason why people like Twisted Metal ( 55:55 ). This is a perfect description for why I love ICP as well. I just found it ironic, is all. Much clown love.
First off, this kicks all of the other TM lore/content right in the fuckin balls. Thanks for uploading.
8:25 Secondly TM as we know it either wouldn't have happened or would've happened much differently, down to the iconic theme song with Sweettooth's laughter.. BASED ON A FUCKING COIN TOSS!
Let that sink in.
There's an alternate reality thinking back on their childhood with still an absence of fondness for fighter plane simulators aaand WITHOUT CAR COMBAT.
Off the top of your head, no Google,
What's another car combat series? Exactly.
We lucked out, truly. In every sense
🙈 🖕🤡👍🪙
Feels good being a chad Twisted Metal 3 enjoyer. Never understood the hate it got tbh.
Wow you got the dude that does TM2 voice of Calypso Holy shit dude that was beyond awesome!
More please!
"Twisted Metal retrospective..."
Oh, another one...
"...with David Jaffe."
MOMGETTHEFUCKINGPOPCORNNOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's amazing he got Jaffe's take on it as well as Calypso
