David Jaffe: Multiplayer Is At The Heart Of Twisted Metal

If you've ever stayed up late, huddled around a PlayStation controller, pumping bullet holes in Sweet Tooth's delightfully creepy ice-cream truck; then you'll understand what David Jaffe means when he says multiplayer is at the heart of Twisted Metal

Multiplayer is at the heart of the new Twisted Metal, says David Jaffe.

Responding to a fan on Twitter, Jaffe said of the upcoming PS3 reboot: To keep expectations in check, know this [about Twisted Metal's single-player]: the bosses are super cool, I think the fiction is really very cool, and the campaign is more varied than any other Twisted Metal weve ever made but if you go in expecting a campaign the likes of Batman: Arkham City, Skyrim, Gears of War, Killzone 3 [then] you will be sorely disappointed.

The game — I feel — is well worth the asking price but thats for folks who love the multiplayer. If you are buying the new Twisted Metal only or mostly for campaign, might I suggest a rental?

Again, not knocking our campaign — it really is the biggest and most varied one weve ever done — but just want to set expectations and be super clear that the heart and soul of the title is all about the multiplayer.

I feel I have to do that in this day and age of mega massive super amazing games that have campaigns like Batman, Uncharted 3, and Skyrim. But with all that preamble, this is the best Twisted Metal game — bar none — weve ever done and I am insanely proud of the game and the Utah and Sony Santa Monica teams."

You can't help but love David Jaffe can you? Brutally honest to the end.
