If he gets on the highway you can probably just snipe him with Talon.
I just want to see Diablo Pass. It's like the map we've seen the least of.
Ooo lets us know if it comes on. I want to see the small town and vegas.

Wow these people really suck, reminds me of that IGN stream.
What I don't understand is even though I started off having difficulty grasping the controls. After about an hour of investment I was doing really well. People I think are just so accustomed to the "normal" car racing controls when they fail to realize this is not a racing game.
If you keep banging your head against the wall trying to hit X to accelerate you will eventually become unconscious. The Classic control scheme is fluid and smooth if you take the time to understand it.
Are people so terrified of trail and error? I understand if Twisted Metal doesn't do a great job of explaining the controls. That is a legitimate complaint. But are people too scared to actually learn the controls on their own?
God those people at Gamespot are playing like they have the mental capacity of a 2 year old. This shit reminds me when you ask someone to take a photograph for you and they can't figure out what button to press to take the damn picture. Those same people act like your camera is a fucking bomb that they need to defuse in under 10 seconds.

It's on now, but he's using Talon and has no idea what he's doing.

Watching Gamespot and now Machinima fail so hard is making me suffer from second hand embarrassment. How hard is it to grasp the game before demoing it to the public?

It is clearly evident that they did not go through the live training mode so I have no sympathy for their problem with the controls.

Aren't they incredibly simplified compared to even something like TM2?

These guys don't seriously get paid, do they?
So they finally destroyed the ferris wheel, but the guy refused to acknowledge that it was the ferris wheel that had rolled down the hill. "That's a different ride!"
Now he thinks a hearse is a boat. Goes well with thinking the ambulance can only be the ghostbusters car.
Sigh. The dancers thing is stupid. Who cares about showing the gameplay, anyway?

Wow, so instead of showcasing the game, they now have half-naked women dancing with hula hoops on the stream to some awful music. I am speechless.

Yea the damn thing was RIGHT FREAKING THERE! It rolled behind him, and he was like "Nah, that's different ride. It has to be." I cannot believe the unbelievable amount of suck I am witnessing here.
EDIT: LOL, everyone in the youtube stream chat is freaking out. "Wtf is this? Show use the damn game!"

I'm not sure what exactly you're ranting about, but personally I like the racing controls because I've played hundreds of hours of GT5 with gas on R2 and brake on L2 so it feels much more natural to me then the classic TM controls, since I haven't played a TM game since like 1998.
Seventy_X_Seven

It's weird though because L2 isn't brake, it's reverse. Brake is R1 and e-brake is L1. If you let go of R2 and press L2 it won't do anything until you naturally come to a stop and then you'll start reversing.
Still makes no sense to me how in a game like Twisted Metal where you really need a way to maximize button efficiency they didn't just make L2 brake AND reverse like most games and then map e-brake to L2+R2 like Warhawk and Starhawk (I know a few people from Eat, Sleep, Play including co-founder Scott Campbell worked on Warhawk). That way not only does it make the controls easier but it also frees up two buttons.

The scary thing is, is that it's sorry ass people like this are who review games. I can't wait to see Ryan Clements review.
"Twisted Metal is not a fun a game because I suck"
Or some bullshit. So pist right now. I feel like this....

Classic controls feel better to me because these "cars" don't control like cars and the classic controls feel like playing a 2D Mario game.
I'd say closer to Black. Much faster than both though.

Haven't actually listened to it yet but it features Jaffe so I'm sure it'll be interesting.

Oh god. Just reading everyone's thoughts I'm passing on viewing the archived stream. It sounds like they made the IGN guys look like pros.
Sweet I'll just listen to this instead.

It's Metro Square. It's the only map they didn't show full screen because they kept thinking they were more interesting than the menus and load screens.

Ah. Very interesting. Diablo Pass looks really interesting. Can't wait to see LA Skyline too. Gotta have a rooftops based map lol. It just wouldn't be Twisted Metal without one. I also Can't wait to play around and explore those maps. You know there's going to be some nice easter eggs in them. There always is.

i want to buy but the demo made me pretty nervous :/ looks so awesome though
I usually play Modnation Racers (love making tracks). Went back to Modnation since the demo was expired and told my friends there they should have tried Twisted Metal. One guy in the room starts saying he did try the demo and thought the graphics were terrible and it looked more like a PS2 game. WTF.

There is always going to be idiots who think if it's not grey and brown and realistic looking then it's graphics suck. Fuck em. Also I was reading the joystiq Jaffe article and this part really should put people's fears to rest about his future with the franchise.
I'm getting sick of this excuse, same with the controls complaint. When was the last time you actually had to sit down and learn the controls this generation? I honestly can't answer that, so TM comes along and everyone says the controls are bad or too hard because they actually require a though process behind them. The graphics thing is just people being fucking stupid as usual, there are very few games this gen that have truly terrible graphics and even then they look nowhere near the levels of a ps2 game.

Yup. What really gets me is that while these aren't identical to past Twisted Metal games, they're damn close. I picked up the default controls almost right away. It was almost like I had been playing this game for years after 10 mins with the controls. They're really not that hard. Some people just don't want to have to learn new controls.

Back in my day you had to start the car before you could drive it. No sympathy for the people that are saying the controls are too complicated. But there's still a little learning curve.

I played DM as death warrant and talon, and had the car's movements down, although I never finished better than mid pack, and I sucked with the helicopter.
The images of the new maps are interesting. I'm afraid if I wait and buy this 6 months from now, everyone online will destroy me. I haven't played the series since PS1 days, so it will take a while to become competent. Game felt good but I didn't get enough time with it. I never got to play a nuke mode game. I don't see why they have a time limited demo. Unless they think the borked MP was bad publicity. But whatever they did, it started working for me, and I noticed there was a cancel option when it was connecting that wasn't there at first.

Haven't played retail but the demo's netcode was the best I've ever seen. Felt like local.
