Twisted Metal is a vehicle combat game developed by Eat Sleep Play and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 3 in 2012. Serving as a reboot of the long-running Twisted Metal franchise, the game blends shooter and racing mechanics as players take control of armed vehicles and engage in destructive, weapon-fueled battles. The title was originally scheduled for release in late 2011 before being pushed back to early 2012. As a reboot, it revisits the core concept of the series — heavily armed cars competing in chaotic, large-scale combat — while bringing the franchise to a new generation of PlayStation hardware. The game supports both single-player and multiplayer modes, carrying forward the franchise's identity as one of PlayStation's signature vehicular combat experiences.
The game focuses heavily on multiplayer combat, including various online game modes with up to 4 player split-screen and 16-players online. For example, the Nuke Mode is a new online game mode where you choose a faction to play against an opposing faction. In this mode, each faction has a giant metal statue that is being held in the air by a helicopter, which the opposing team must try to destroy. In order to destroy these statues, the player must abduct the enemy team's leader, then sacrifice the leader to a missile launcher that will, in turn, launch a nuclear missile. The person who sacrifices the leader and launches the missile has to control it to hit the opposing teams statue in the air. In order to win the opposing team has to repeat the process 3 times before the statue is destroyed for a team to win. There are four factions: the Clowns, the Dolls, the Skulls, and the Holy Men. The former having been announced as being inspired by Sweet Tooth and Dollface respectively. The latter are led by Mr. Grimm and the Preacher respectively.
