Who is everyone using that finds the AI hard? I didn't play much, but picked the Ghostbuster car and it seems to remedy these issues.

I actually like the controls. They have a learning curve but after two hours of play, I got a hold of it all.
I really love this game. It controls perfectly, its simple to make awesome things happen, and yet there's an insane amount of depth strategy lurking below the surface, waiting to be mined. Gameplay variety is the number 1 thing I want in a multiplayer game, and I can tell I'm going to play the hell out of this. Just get that matchmaking fixed!
lol looks like Cutter ha ha but he has nothing to say ha ha. Looked high off his ass and confused at first too.

Look ma! No hands!!
hahaha, dude i had no idea i would get on. i was honestly just hoping to spectate the Q+A.
Ok, I played the demo (my first experience with Twisted Metal).
A lot of stuff to take in, and the matchmaking kept getting errors so I ended up just getting my ass kicked by the AI a couple times. I suck really bad, and I haven't quite gotten a handle on the controls, but I really like the way the game feels. Still undecided on if I'll buy it or not. We'll see if I can get a bit better with some more time in the demo.

European version is censored but not by choice. Not like Black was. The videos were reworked to be slightly different.
What happened?

Somebody get Jaffe to release a full OST list.
Now I'm worried I'm going to see my face on there lol I accidentally clicked the mic button earlier.

What could it be? Did that Sweet Tooth scene from the trailer not go over well with the censorship boards there?
spammer saying he Jaffe sucked a big dick. Jaffe proceeded to own him.

he stopped the Q&A to adress what the troll was saying was pretty awesome
played the demo last night, and here are my impressions:
The button mapping is all over the place. It seems way too complex.
It'd be nice if R1 or R2 was accelerate and L1 or L2 was brake, as well as making the rest of the button mapping a little more consistent or maybe i mean coherent (press back on the right stick to reverse and up on it to look up?!) Can you set it so that left and right on the Dpad switch weapons?
Anyway it seemed fun, I'm not sold on it though. I like racers with combat but I'm not sure about a purely vehicle combat game.

No clue. David said that they sit down and reworked cutscenes etc. Hence the story is there but for example there may not be as much blood or a violent scene may not be as violent as the US release.

You can change the control scheme to that

Can't do custom soundtracks with voice chat. Seems that it's something out of their hands.
Yeah, I've heard of that being a problem in a few games before.
really? so that they are on opposite sides? I tried the default one and racer. It's not just that as a complaint though, the mapping is all over the place.

Played only one match last night cause of the connection issues but it was pretty good.

Some great players came in and beat game in about 8 hours. People that were new took a lot longer then that. So that's great.
