We've known for a while that Eat Sleep Play's upcoming Twisted Metal reboot would be getting a demo -- but we certainly didn't expect it to be dropping quite so soon

Outlined on Sony's Official PlayStation Blogcast podcast, senior social media specialist, Sid Shuman, has confirmed that fans will get to sample the car combat exclusive from January 31st when a demo races onto the PlayStation Store..

If you're wondering what this Twisted Metal lark is all about, first of all: where have you been since 1995?

Living under a rock? We sort of get it; Eat Sleep Play's upcoming PS3 Twisted Metal reboot is the first proper entry into the series since 2005's Twisted Metal: Head On, so we suppose it's possible that the series might have eluded you until now. (And yes, we realise that Twisted Metal: Head..

Twisted Metal's gone gold -- and to celebrate the game's impending Valentine's Day release date, Eat Sleep Play's released the first image of Sweet Tooth as he'll appear in the upcoming multiplayer shooter Starhawk

Those of you that pick up a copy of next month's car combat reboot will snatch up a voucher for the Sweet Tooth skin, which will allow you to play as the creepy clown in Lightbox..

God Of War is a world-renowned franchise, but things were almost very different

Before Kratos' mythological escapades got the go-ahead, developer Sony Santa Monica was toying with the idea of a Silent Hill-style survival horror title set within the dark realm of the Twisted Metal universe.

The oldest franchise in PlayStation history is finally ready for its return on PS3, as developer Eat Slep Play has just announced that its upcoming Twisted Metal reboot has gone gold

For those not up-to-date with industry terminology, "gold" is the term attached to game code that is fully completed and ready for manufacturing. In short: the game's probably being printed onto blank Blu-ray..

David Jaffe's video blog is always a source of legitimate fun

Watching the God Of War creator devolve into a sub-human state as the release of Twisted Metal release nears has been a genuine source of pleasure for us. We don't mean that in a nasty way; moreover that we enjoy Jaffe's personality, and love the passion that he so clearly brings to everything he does. In a slightly reserved video blog..

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

Responding to a fan on Twitter, Jaffe said of the upcoming PS3 reboot: “To keep expectations in check, know this [about Twisted Metal's..

Talk about timing

We had a horrible thought this morning that Twisted Metal might get delayed in the UK. After all, the game's US Valentine's Day release date was announced a long time ago, but SCEE has kept relatively tight-lipped about the car-combat title's launch overseas. Better late than never though, as the platform holder's just confirmed to MCV that the Eat Sleep Play developed racer will..

In a delightfully scatty video blog, David Jaffe, the creative force behind Twisted Metal and God Of War, has announced that all first-print editions of Twisted Metal for the PlayStation 3 will include a downloadable voucher for Twisted Metal: Black

Twisted Metal: Black originally launched on the PlayStation 2 way back in 2001, and was critically applauded for its dark tone and class-leading..

Sony's Twisted Metal reboot continues to up the stakes

Having a vehicle armed to the teeth with rockets and chainsaws is all well and good — but try using them effectively against the The Brothers Grimm. You'll be lucky if you manage to scratch the paint-work of their ridiculously oversized monster trucks.

Legendary PlayStation developer David Jaffe has indicated he'd prefer it if his upcoming Twisted Metal reboot didn't ship with an Online Pass code

The developer told Eurogamer: “I’d actually prefer [it if we didn't do an Online Pass], even though it’s probably good business. “Only because we have such a mountain to climb in terms of gaining people’s good faith, especially in Europe, and really..

David Jaffe has broken his silence on the rumoured Sony mascot brawler said to be in development at SuperBot Entertainment

Hot off the heels of yesterday's Valentine's Day release date announcement, Eat Sleep Play's released a brand new trailer for its upcoming Twisted Metal reboot

We have to say, our anticipation grows more and more with each new piece of footage released. The latest trailer focuses on Dollface, everyone's favourite glitter-haired psycho. Enter amazing (and mildly disturbing) FMV, featuring said..

Alone on Valentine's Day? Not Anymore

Eat Sleep Play's David Jaffe has targeted the day of love for a day of carnage as the Twisted Metal release date. In a video blog release, Jaffe explains Eat Sleep Play's entrance into "crunch mode" to reach the new deadline following Twisted Metal's delay earlier this year. "With this extra time we've just been pouring this tuning and tweaking..

Twisted Metal's no longer releasing in October

The game's due out in "early 2012" now. Part of the reason for the delay is because David Jaffe and his Eat Sleep Play team want to ensure Twisted Metal is the best game it possibly can be. “The extra months are really needed for polish and we feel we need more than four to six weeks of polish and tuning," Jaffe wrote in a statement..

In an extremely earnest post on the PlayStation Blog, Eat Sleep Play's David Jaffe has revealed that Twisted Metal will not hit its October release date

Jaffe's reason was as candid as ever, the game is "just not ready yet". The game will instead launch in "early 2012". As disappointing as the news is, it's really hard to be frustrated with the team's intentions. Jaffe noted on..

The bigger story here is that Twisted Metal was originally gunning for a Teen rating in the US, with David Jaffe and his Eat Sleep Play team gunning for the lower rating in order to reach a wider audience

But the studio's since decided that a Mature rating is more appropriate for the Twisted Metal franchise, and we couldn't agree more. "Without blood, it felt a little weird, frankly,"..

NeoGAF's stumbled upon some new B-roll footage for Twisted Metal

The game has come on leaps and bounds since its unveiling at last year's E3. The game is a real visual spectacle now, with tons of detail on the weapons. It's super chaotic, just like Twisted Metal should be. This game is still floating under the radar too much for our liking. It looks incredible.

Eat Sleep Play's David Jaffe is one of the most honest figures in the gaming industry

It's hard not to be entranced by the developer's no-nonsense style of discussion. If you haven't had a chance to listen to chat on GiantBomb's E3 special podcast, you really should. He's a fascinating character. Having said that, we think Jaffe puts himself down a little too easily at times. It's worrying to us..
