Fun game but I disagree. I'd rather rewatch the old Death Race movie instead.
Bet you loved ejecting your friends' tourists just as they were about to take a photo.
It's still a classic. Fairly difficult and there are some hidden mechanics and depth to the game. Plus lots of secret areas that would probably be impossible to discover without some sort of external guide. Can't believe it never got a remaster.
Even without a remaster it still holds up quite well thanks to the style and design. Like the evolving prison stage that grows as time passes, the vast suburbs and the amount of destructible content that provided and much more. Besides, if it was remastered today, they'd find some way of messing it up I think.
"Live-service game"
I liked Head-On on the PSP and it got a re-release for the PS2. It was like playing TM 2 all over again which isn't a bad thing for me. Oh and the endings for Head-On are the comic-book type as well.
Tbf, it's the classic issue with game AIs. If you make the AI target each other than strategy boils down to letting enemies bleed each other and swooping in for the kills, which is less satisfying and more boring
Then just make this feature exclusive to lower difficulty settings and keep the hard mode AI hyper-focused on the player.
I did, season 1 kinda suffers from pacing issues, it's really padded out and the main meat and potatoes which is the car combat(and sweet tooth) are spread too thinly, possibly due to budgetary issues, it's tolerable but far from great. Season 2 however corrects this issue, tons more action and the series seems to be less embarrassed of its source material now, that means there's room for more out there members of the cast like Axel and Mr.Grimm, the latter one being one of the highlights of the show imo and Calypso is genuinely a great presence on the screen, charismatic, goofy, dorky, intimidating and omnipotent he is what he's supposed to be and i love it. Season 2 also cranks up the action, more cars more explosions. İf you can sit through the first season(which is not a herculean task because it's not bad it's just padded) a great S2 awaits you
Well, sit through the first season and all the episodes leading up to the tournament. The show has that problem where the biggest slog is whenever they cut back to the main characters. I don't care about John and Quiet's bullshit, and I'm desperately praying for Annoying Teenage Sidekick to die already; they're not interesting enough characters for any good serious scenes and I swear the jokes take a huge dive in quality whenever we're with them. The pre-tournament episodes are 90% suffering through their shenanigans and waiting for the camera to cut back to Sweet Tooth and Stu (who I'm certain is gonna become Minion by the end of this) and the other actual game characters.
Would you recommend just cutting to the end of season 1 and then season 2?
I wouldn't call twisted metal to be edgy, or at least not all the time, yes two of the most notable entries, black and 2012 are absolute edgefests but then there are more colourful, campy entries like TM2 or head-on
I'd say season 1 has enough good points to be worth watching (like Sweet Tooth's entire side plot and Agent Stone's scenes), but if you're only in it for the action then the latter half of season 1 is where you start getting the actual car battles (seriously, prior to that you have more scenes where they avoid a car battle than actual car action). Calypso only appears as a two minute voice over in season 1.
TM2 has a dude welded to giant wheels and used as a car axle and his story is that he is constantly in immense pain. How is that not edgy? Sweet Tooth was heavily implied to be a pedophile before they reconfigured his origin story multiple times. I never played Head-On, but the series was already out of the cultural mainstream by that point.
