You give a very specific July 28, 2010, but the link says "shipping in February 2010": what gives?
Are they shipping them by literal snail mail that they take five months to reach store shelves?
Love the rendering of Nariko's hair, not sure about the face, still hate articulated figurines...
Heavenly Sword remains a good game to pick up for new PS3 owners, IMO.
@Antiterra: DC Direct puts out their new product releases with Previews Magazine, the ordering book for direct market retailers (basically, comic book store owners and the like). The latest solicitations were for February, so all the comics and whatnot that are in there will come out that month.
Except the DC Direct stuff (and other items from other companies, but this stuff always). So for Sweet Tooth, while this is the Feb catalog, in his description it'll say 'This item schedueled to ship in July' or whatever. Their DC Direct products always run about 3-4 months later than their comic stuff. #twistedmetal
I've only ever played Twisted Metal:Black (as far as I'm aware its the only Twisted Metal game ever sold in UK) and it was a blast.
I'd definitely be picking up a sequel if one came to PS3. Always liked battle-car type games.
Heavenly Sword is a game I'll try one day. Just my housemate owns it, but he misplaced it on his last trip to US., so gonna have to wait a year. #twistedmetal
@deanbmmv: TM:Black was really the last one worth playing. . It gave the series a new life with its presentation... why there was never another I will never know. They just released an update with online function and that was it. #twistedmetal
Well, one can't present a flagship title in early stages of development and expect to hear standing ovations. Even if it shows promise, it's likely ridden with all kinds of bugs and glitches that will make it seem really unappealing to most gamers. However, you also don't want to tantalize audiences with cryptic images in an effort to generate hype. As much as I love Konami, their marketing division has stupid ideas. The best way to make us enthusiastic is to simply display the best things your game has to offer. It's not that complicated!
@YHWHMystic: Yeah, sounds like he learned the lession that Too Human taught everyone about showing your game too early.
I think waiting until you have something polished to show would be good for the industry as a whole but for some reason I don't think the pr/marketing types would go for that.
My guess is that he will definately show something at E3 but not in public or to press. Alot of "backroom" things happen at E3, that being said why else would Mr. Jaffe be in LA?
For a moment, I was going to give you a 'HIYOOOOO!' because I thought you were responding to BritBloke916's post. Then I realized you were making a serious response to Jesse.
Excellent, Twisted Metal is badass, and will be a purchase if it includes 4 player split-screen. Maybe next we will see a PS3 War of the Monsters game @(O_o)@
Ah, Jaffe. That man certainly knows how to whip the internet into a frenzy. Just happening to let this picture slip the month before E3? Nah, he couldn't possibly have done it by accident. No way. Never in a million years.
Despite all the shit he takes for being outspoken, Jaffe's a very, very smart and insightful guy. His blog is always entertaining to read and his thoughts on the industry are always well-supported even if I don't always agree with him.

Hope to see some good news at or around E3.
