Some sources have prematurely announced a new Twisted Metal , in development by David Jaffe's new studio, Eat Sleep Play. However, Jaffe himself will tell you that he never officially announced any such project.
Of course, that doesn't mean people are always searching about for evidence. Jaffe posted a partial copy of an e-mail on his blog recently, and although he has updated it so the blurred-out words are even more obscured, Gamervision has the original photo. You can almost see the words you're not supposed to see, and if you need a little help, they kinda "decode" the message below. Parts of the message include phrases like, "running over him and dragging him behind your car…" and "When he is knocked out of a car and onto the ground he crawls frantically, looking… approaching cars, trying to get away, slipping as he tries to get up." Now, this may not sound exactly like the Twisted Metal we all know and love, but then again, we'd be talking about an entirely new, next-gen installment in the long-running series. And what a great addition to make: having the driver play a role!
