Apparently the canceled Twisted Metal game would have been a battle royale where you could get out of your car for some reason (www.pcgamer.com)

It might be controversial, but I think Twisted Metal would be the perfect fit for a battle royale type game. I'd want it to have a strong single player and local/small scale multiplayer (like the previous ones), but a larger map with the chaos of 100 psychos driving around could be a lot of fun.

Outside of the car though? Maybe some bonus points for how long you can run around without getting popped like a party balloon.

Edit: but we all know this would have been just a shit live service game. So not much lost. Can't believe no indie dev has come out with a good successor.

Are you actually proposing incorporating elements of the BR genre (choosing drop locations, looting, encroaching zone time limit, limited respawning, etc) or do you just want bigger arenas and more players in your regular Twisted Metal death match? Cause I don't actually think Twisted Metal is as suited for the BR genre as you say, but I could be convinced otherwise if you have a take.

Okay I have a 63 page presentation on how it would work but before I show you. What guarantee do I have that you will get it made if I convince you?

Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and slap a guarantee on it, I'll do it, I've got spare time, but, for your customer's sake, for your daughter's sake, if you want to make a quality game, you'll buy from me.

Just give me Twisted metal with upgraded graphics, or Vigilante 8, either one. The same game, right modern connectivity.

So, cancelling was the best course of action, then.

ETA: ducking autocorrupt

Sounds like it might have been fun

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

If they dropped the shooting mechanic and made it more rocket jockey like. Meaning your car breaks down and you need to get another, but are a walking duck till then. Might be fun.

So Fornite Ch5 then? That's the set of chapters focused on cars
