Line 1:
{{
* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: After [[David Jaffe]] said he was not working on a new Twisted Metal, fans had begun to declare the series dead and buried. Sony's E3 presentation was almost over and no sign at all of the game. And then?
* [[Base Breaker]]: The direction the [[PS 3]] [[Revival]] took for the series; giving more engaging and complex storylines to four distinctive drivers, thus relagating the past drivers to oblivion and making their cars free for [[Mook|Mooks]] from the aforementioned quartet to drive; this rubs the wrong way for fans of the old installments where one could see each vehicle (and driver) getting a backstory, while others likes only 4 characters getting better developed stories, instead of many drivers getting [[Excuse Plot|Excuse Plots]] to force their presence in the games.
Line 12:
* [[Fan Dumb]]: One fan site will ban anyone on the forum if they talk about the third and fourth game, and insist that Twisted Metal is not "just" a game.
* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: The Antarctica level in ''Twisted Metal 2''. Back in 1996, the imagery of [[Global Warming|collapsing polar glaciers]] wasn't quite so unsettling.
** Simon Whittlebone, a frustrated architect who uses an armored and heavily weaponized front loader dubbed "Mr. Slam". to wreak havoc and destruction. [
* [[Game Breaker]]: Playable versions of bosses tend to be these. There's a reason why they are usually not available at the start of the game, having to be unlocked either through game progress or cheat codes.
* [[Hollywood Homely]]: [[Deconstructed Trope]] with Dollface in the PS3 remake. She is a former supermodel who got a (minor) scar on her face, decided that [[Beauty to Beast|her beauty was ruined]] (even though it clearly wasn't, as her doctor could plainly see), and started wearing a mask to cover up her "imperfection." David Jaffe [http://comic-con.gamespot.com/comic-con-uncut/p-12.html?tag=topslot;title;5 said (about 14 minutes in)] that the character is a satire of the extreme standards of beauty that women are faced with by the media and pop culture... while [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|flatly denying]] that the character was based on his ex-wife.
