The prototype behaves the same way in all three: the menus are functional, but attempting to start the game in MOST ways will cause the prototype to lock up. The improved rebuilt ISO (Twisted_Metal-Harbor_City-Prototype-Rebuilt-63-Patched.iso) will boot in PCSX2, a PS3 DEX, or a PS2 Test. It is based on the loose files, and is improved from the two rebuilt ISOs which were originally part of this release. The loose files were copied directly from the hard drive of a PS2 development system.Ī rebuilt ISO is included with this release.
The build date is unknown, but seems to be from circa 2003 based on the versions of the libraries (IOPR270.IMG, etc.).Īccording to an anonymous source, this prototype began as Twisted Metal Black 2 on the PS2, and a much later version was released as Twisted Metal: Head On for the Sony PSP.
The games in the series usually contain a healthy dose of black humor.This is an extremely early prototype of an unreleased Twisted Metal title for the PlayStation 2. However, there is a general "be careful what you wish for" theme in the game series, as nearly all of the winning contestants end up with "not-so-happy" endings,ĭue to the skill and proclivity of the hosts for twisting the words of their wish around often to deadly effect. The hosts of these games are the persons who are, through arcane means, capable of warping reality itself to grant the wish of the contest winner The winner is brought before the tournament host, who will grant the contestant a single wish. The general goal is to destroy all opponents apart from the other contestants, unique vehicles seemingly designed by the host themselves may stand in the competitors' path. In almost all of the games, the host is a man called "Calypso" however, in the series' fourth installment, perennial contestant Sweet Tooth briefly takes over. Although each individual game features its own storyline, they all revolve around the eponymous "Twisted Metal": a vehicular combat tournament hosted once a year.
