PEGI Rates Twisted Metal: Black, Ape Escape 2 For PS4

Ben-Dutka 20 Comments

Currently, you can't play PS2 classics on your PlayStation 4.

You can download and enjoy certain PS2 titles on the PS3 but at this point, that functionality doesn't exist on Sony's latest console.

However, might that change in the near future? As spotted by GameSpot , the European game ratings board, PEGI , has rated Twisted Metal: Black , Ape Escape 2 and Dark Chronicle for PS4. For the record, Sony hasn't made anything official concerning PS2 classics showing up on PS4, so don't get too excited yet.

Man, those games were awesome, though. It'd be nice to have at least some backward compatibility on PS4. And these three titles would be a good start, although there are about a hundred others I could see playing again, even on the fancy new system. Which PS2 classics would you want to see?

Jaffe: Twisted Metal “About 1,000 Times Better” Than TM Black

Ben-Dutka 12 Comments

The comparisons are probably inevitable, despite the decade-long gap.

We haven't seen a Twisted Metal on consoles since Twisted Metal: Black rocked our socks back in 2001. And with David Jaffe and Co. ready to launch the reboot (let's face it; that's what it is) on February 14, it's a hot topic of conversation at Jaffe's Twitter page . And in regards to how the new title stacks up to Black , Jaffe said:

"I liked TMB a lot and I think this game- in campaign and MP- is about 1000 times better than TMB. But I am biased, of course:)!"

He also dishes on a few gameplay-related details; just check out the Tweets. But another point of interest shows up in his most recent Tweet; it involves the rumors that THQ might be on the auction block:

"Dear Gaming Gods: If THQ really is for sale, please let someone buy it and hire me to run it creatively. Kthx!"

Now wait a minute, Dave…didn't you just start up your own studio? What gives? Well, at any rate, we'll have to see what happens with THQ and by the way, if you never played TM Black, it's included in all the first-run copies of Twisted Metal . Jaffe himself made the announcement .

The holidays are a time for giving and receiving presents, and Eat Sleep Play co-founder David Jaffe just delivered a big gift to all the long-time Twisted Metal followers.

As you should already know, the Twisted Metal reboot arrives on February 14. But in a special Christmas message posted at the PlayStation Blog , Jaffe made a fantastic announcement that should give everyone more incentive to pick up his latest project on Valentine's Day. …as if the new game isn't incentive enough, right?
