Twisted Metal new game concept
I recall Jaffe saying Twisted Metal is like Mortal Kombat with cars, and I just had a concept come to mind. Warning: I'm currently high, so this is not likely to be a novel concept.
The game starts with a standard roster, potentially with unlockable cars. Each car has its own driver, backstory.
The game has 3 modes. Story, Multiplayer, Online.
Each driver's Story has an ending.
Each car (and potentially driver?) has unlockable skins (perhaps through milestones in Story and/or achievement-based) which include previous incarnations of each car.
Then have DLC packages of "guest" drivers and cars. Think Batman, Elvira, or whatever else. The guest cars would likely have reused stats from the original roster, but an original Special Weapon. They also get their own ending in the Story.
There could be as many arenas as they can make, including maps that would be in said-DLC packages.
The only thing that bothers me about the idea is that, more than likely, microtransactions would make their way into this...which sucks, but I dunno. Does this sound dumb?
