EU cuts don't seem too bad. just the gurney and some cutscene edits.
Don't want to import as I don't want to deal with the whole US store PSN cars and that nonsense.
so im dissapointed; but not a dealbreaker.


The delay on the other hand...
I'm actually happy about. Since I would be completely broke in feburary (VITA) and my march is completely free.

Sigh, why do they pick a freaking retard to play the game while they are streaming. Dude doesn't know if he is wiping his watch or whinding his ass.

Sure I'll kind of mention anything significant.

So far just showing Team Deathmatch in one of the maps. Mentioned arena. There is a giant pit of molten steal in the middle. Kind of reminds me of Rooftops in Twisted 3 in that you have to get the hell out of there. Game just crashed. They were running without patch. Running retail disc on debug test server and without patch. The issue is fixed with day 1 patch.

They will be showing Sweet Tooth opening movie now. Now addressing why not many characters. There is Single Player, Training, and challenge modes single player wise.

Oh wow at this Sweet Tooth intro movie.

Yea. This is some wicked shit. I'm loving it. Sweet Tooth is seriously one fucking sick fuck. I like it. muahahahaha

Each story has a beginning middle and end cutscene. Trying to break things up in the campaign. You can pick 3 vehicles in the level in single player. There are garages you can switch out in the level. Very interesting. One life it seems too.

Holy shit, the intro cinematic on the live stream was seriously badass. Love the style, it feels so different than what you'd expect to see out of a video game.

He's currently explaining how things work. Like the sniper and how you can notice it on you. AI in single player tends to focus on you while somewhat fighting each other. It does tend to focus on you though.

IGN guy totally sucks at the game.

This, really disappointing how these Premiere Streams always have really terrible players. Wish he would have had the game for a night or two to get better at it so it wasn't so hard to watch.

What cut that he hated to see cut. He couldn't say cause the scars are still fresh.

Now explaining how to play Sweet tooth. Showing robot special. Turbos let him fly. So you have to grab turbos and have turbo for the sweet bot to fly. L1 plus R1 then up on right stick to fly as sweet bot. IT really does seem deeper then the demo lets on.

Goddamn it Jaffe! I was adamant about not purchasing TM after hearing about the cuts and delay but now finally getting in a few MP games I just have to purchase it. Seriously it's the most entertaining MP I have played for quite some time. Yeah Im back in the game...

Twisted Metal university going up on website within a week. It's going to cover some in depth stuff.

Now talking about how when you unlock side arms and how they'll work.

Shotgun one for example is one shot if you just hit it but if you hold it then it's double shot cause the shotgun is a double barrel.

Dollface is probably his favorite story in the game.

Events and levels vary per character and they have their own bosses. This level is sounding like it's going to be downright nuts. Now showing how to use Rowboats special but the dumbass playing sucks.

Yea man I get sick of seeing the shit. I would much rather see them get someone who was a play tester from Eat,Sleep,Play. David Jaffe probably would have had a easier time explaining the features. But with a retard at the wheel David can never full explain a feature because of how lackluster this guy is.

No offical word on Black being able to be bought later. He was reassured that Axel will be obtainable for everyone in game. It's just that the preorders have him unlocked from start. He didn't want preorder DLC that was exclusive to preorders. Props for that david.

Yup this level is indeed fucking awesome looking. Now telling origin story of the Sweet Bot on TMB and that this time they expanded on it.

Noticed it does upload details to servers for leaderboards. So there are leaderboards in the game. New cutscene if he beats this level.

Appolagizes for demo's difficulty and stream shows even awful players can do well. Oh and a snowy level with soem christmas theming to it. Hell yea!!!!!!!!!

Now showing a level where you have a ring that you have to remain in when it's on. Then it moves. It's like a huge area that surrounded. You have a small grace period out of it but you have to get to the next area.

The trophy about did that just happen was specifically confined to free for all so that it wouldn't ruin team based games.

One version of this mode was cut where the ring would move and would change size. That had to be cut due to getting it working in the online and stuff. You do slide around on the ice. So the surface does affect handling. This toy store area in this section of map was cool.

Can unlock cars, weapons, skins, etc. Patch fixes cars taking forever to get to the square. And he lost on this level. Now skipping to multiplayer.

Holy shit 30+ maps?! Surely those can't all be unique? Especially since they all seem so big and detailed

Now showing how online you have to rank up to unlock cars in the ranked online. Can customize paintjob like car color, skin, skin color, and wheel color. There will be custom skins you can download for the game.

Starting around the 11th you'll be able to go to Twisted Metal website and be able to customize the car a ton. Adding stickers etc and upload it to the community.
