Game designer David Jaffe stated in an interview with Criminal Crackdown that the latest installment of Twisted Metal received a decent average score and seems to have recouped its development costs.
“Twisted Metal got a few great reviews and a few awful reviews, which ended up averaging out to a 76/100 on Metacritic. The game sold okay.”
“I hope Sony doesn’t regret investing in us and this project,” he added. “Even though Twisted Metal for PS3 didn’t become a mega-blockbuster or even a huge hit.”
“Hell, once we launch the new studio and ship a game based on a new IP, I wouldn’t mind coming back and doing a new Twisted Metal with Sony and the new studio. But for now, I really want to do something new.”
