Summary: Mackey plays John Doe from Black, keeping the amnesia plot. A new character named Quiet will be introduced as the girlboss help. Agent Stone from TM1 will appear and drive Outlaw. Finally Raven from Black will be the last TM character to actually make an appearance that has been confirmed, outside of obviously Sweet Tooth.
- Why Doe? He should've been Axel or Outlaw from Black. The Outlaw from 1 is a white guy and his story was that he was there to stop Calypso's contest. It would've made more sense for him to be Agent Stone, seeking a chance at redemption.
John Doe was a fed who was preventing terrorism. In this series universe the world has already ended and they live in the post-apocalypse a la FarCry New Dawn.
- Raven? So they're going to tear my favorite female driver apart. Fuck.
Can't wait for her to be calling herself a non-binary lesbo.
- Again, Outlaw; why is he not Anthony Mackie?
- Girlboss help is stupid and goes against TM. It's one driver per car unless the two drivers (Outlaw in 3, Needles/Marcus in Head-On, Mike & Stu in 2) have identical wishes. And if girlboss has the same desire/wish as Mackie, and Mackie is playing John Doe, wouldn't that mean she already knows Doe's past and thus can grant Doe his memories without the need of winning the contest by delivering the package (so so so so stupid)?
How did Axel, Mr. Grim, Dollface, Preacher and especially Calypso all get left out? Not to mention other favorites like Mr. Slam or Minion.
- Raven is awesome and I will fight you if you disagree.
- Be happy they're getting spared from this shitfest.
- Preacher will never be portrayed on screen. His story is probably the third most fucked up (the most fucked up if you count Jaffe's original idea and story for Preacher) in the entire series. Everyone else can be portrayed but heavily censored (Axel would not be shown being domestically violent towards his wife, Dollface (the Black iteration) will not be shown gettting nailed to the mask, and Mr. Grimm is either too cartoony or too violent for the vibe the show is aiming for.
From what it looks like, it will just be a shitty TM Black with little to no references to any outside game past maybe the first.
Disagree; it's Head-On & PS3 reboot inspired. Nothing in that trailer screams Black. The color palette, the music choice, Mackey having a colorful personality, etc.
The only Black-esque element is Needles pre-death sentence.
...what any of this has to do with winning a contest to have any one wish you want granted, I still have no clue.
