Twisted Metal komt pas in 2012

David Jaffe, mede-oprichter van Eat Sleep Play, heeft aangekondigd dat Twisted Metal niet in oktober komt en verschoven wordt naar het begin van 2012. Jaffe heeft dit uitstel bij Sony aangevraagt.

Sony was akkoord en stemde toe. Jaffe vroeg die extra tijd zodat ze hun 'krankzinnig kind verder op konden poetsen tot hij schittert'. De man zegt:

There's a great, classic industry saying by legendary Nintendo designer – and personal hero – Shigeru Miyamoto that goes a little something like this: 'A late game is only late until it ships. A bad game is bad until the end of time.'

Now, if we shipped Twisted Metal tomorrow – going off the response from folks who have played it – I assure you, it would never be a bad game. Not even close. But we're aiming for a heck of a lot more than that!

With Twisted Metal we plan to ship a multiplayer classic. We plan to ship the best Twisted Metal ever made. We plan to convert a lot of folks who think vehicle combat is a relic best left to '90s nostalgia. And we plan to explode the belief that the only relevant kind of shooter is a first person one.

Most importantly, we plan on treating you – the kind folks who play our game (and pay our bills) – like the VIPs that you are. You only deserve our best and we appreciate your understanding as we take a little more time to guarantee that our best is what we deliver.
