Either the overlay on the video prevents me or it's the website not linking me to the youyube. Both the full and mobile site won't let me play the video. I can make it full screen, but it's just the static frame. I'll just search for it on youtube.

Loving the shit out of these. They strike the perfect balance of being highly informative without talking down to me.

Man this is the toughest wait I have had for a game in years. Maybe since World at War. Branched out in the demo and tried some other characters and that's what made me decide to purchase it day one. Then heard about the sniper rifle and instant head shots? Holy shit. Fire up the demo and uh... expired. Maybe the sudden lock out is adding to the anticipation. I wonder if any Gamestop's are doing midnight releases.

I'm really curious as to how Diablo Pass works
One single road doesn't look very interesting as a map, but I'm sure this map is interesting somehow because every other map in the game has phenomenal design.
Yet I wonder how this will work for Nuke. Every other map seems mostly symmetric (with only minor tweaks on each side) so to ensure both teams have equal opportunity to capture the leader and make it to the other end, but here - if we use the bridge as the mid section one side is clearly longer and missing a town at the end. And that then makes you wonder why they decided to include the river and all that extra water as part of the map layout, obviously these vehicles are car-boat hybrids a la SpyHunter, but how far off road will we be able to go?
From the website:
It'll either be really awesome or really lame.

Diablo Pass is clearly the "race" map like the freeway map from TM2. It's going to make for some hilarious straightaway/chase battles.

David said in a tweet awhile ago that the tools should be up before release. So my guess would be Monday.
Yup. If it's like the other ones with a more linear layout in past games it will be a fun map.

Does anyone know a good reliable site where I can import this from the US to the UK?
Getting mine from Play asia, Never had any problems with them.

Should probably wait for the templates to release before you start?
I think it's going to be up on the Twisted Metal site within the next few days?

I just ordered mine (Netherlands) from videogamesplus.ca and apparently it already shipped.
Yeah, obviously, I'm going to need dem templates. Then it's showtime.
I've got some skin ideas spinning already and was thinking of just using the GAF logo on the hood or something to identify our clan for my personal skin. If others would like some skins I'll probably throw some out there or perhaps help some out if they want partiulars.

I ordered mine from Axel Music. Videogamesplus.ca it is another option. Order from Spain.

It will be pretty sick though. Everyone running around blowing shit up with the NeoGaf logo on their vehicle.
fitting.

I think after Twisted Metal 2 the new people making twisted metal screwed up the franchise a bit. When it went to PS2 with the original creators they rebooted Twisted Metal with black. Maybe this time it's another starting over and since it probably won't be a trilogy or anything they just make it plain Twisted Metal.
Reboot, sorta.
That's the latest trend. Mortal Kombat, Tomb Raider, SSX, Prince of Persia, Syndicate, etc.

Ordered from videogamesplus.ca quite a while ago ( I'm Dutch too ). Read a story on a Dutch forum that some people had to pay customs fees. What's up with that? I've never paid customs fees when I ordered from videogamesplus. Can you confirm this?

And it makes absolute sense. When you label something with a subtitle or a number it scares off new customers because they think they won't understand it without playing the previous ones. All the games you mentioned have no real connection to any other entries to that series so why not just name it what it is?
Yes sir.

Twisted Metal |OT| Flaming Chainsaw Reviews, A+ (reviews are for losers)

But when so many people are easily influenced by reviews which directly relates the game's longevity to the reviews scores it makes it something you take interest in even if you already committed to buying the game.
Didn't IGN give it an 11/10 during their live stream? Works for me.

Hmm. From 14th up to top 10 now. Number 9 and climbing to be exact. Guess those worrying about it were not the norm. Seems that if anything it's getting more popular.
It's 2nd on amazon.ca too. I'm hoping this game really surprises a lot of people with its sales.

WOW. 2nd. That's amazing. It's so weird. You're seeing more and more people going hey what's that Twisted Metal about? I checked out the demo and it was pretty fun. I really think the game is going to benefit from having had a demo. For all the past games demos weren't so easy to get. Now everyone can download them so easily. That's why post launch I'd love to see another demo released for the game. Hopefully a properly working one mind you. Won't happen but I can dream.
"We have to wonder why certain cars like Reaper were included. It has ridiculously low armor and its chainsaw special doesn't do enough damage to be worth the cost. We have heard that in the future you will be able to upgrade to a flaming chainsaw but we were unable to unlock it. For some reason the game has the car from Ghostbusters, but instead of shooting ghosts it fires a man strapped to a hotel service cart, perhaps a reference to the Slimer scene? Weapons are hard to dodge, and a lack of a shield ability makes combat painfully difficult. We encountered a glitch on the New York level that made it hard to drive on the large white field thing. 5/10"

I don't know whether to laugh at your extremely accurate impersonation or frown because it is an extremely accurate impersonation.

I wish, I too would by a digital copy in a heartbeat over the physical copy, but they probably won't release TM for download until a month or so later and I'm definitely not waiting.

I'm calling it, 9.4/10 from IGN.

You wish. It's IGN. Considering their history with the franchise and how now those left there are drooling braindead imbeciles I'm going to bet it gets a 7.2 to 7.8 range
