Twisted Metal delayed to 2012

PS3 exclusive Twisted Metal has been delayed from its previously targeted October 4 release until "early 2012" to allow for extra polishing, Eat Sleep Play co-founder David Jaffe said today. Writing on the PlayStation Blog, Jaffe said: "A lot of dedicated, supportive, passionate Twisted Metal fans have been waiting for the return of Calypso's demented contest for a long time but the truth is: we're just not ready yet."It sucks bad when games miss their announced launch dates. We're gamers too and we know how annoying it is. It's disappointing and frustrating and it really takes the wind out of your sails if you're a fan that has been looking forward to playing a title for a long time."Thing is, you gotta trust me when I tell you that - with this extra time for tuning and polish - the game is going to be so much better than it already is... There's a great, classic industry saying by legendary Nintendo designer - and personal hero - Shigeru Miyamoto that goes a little something like this: 'A late game is only late until it ships. A bad game is bad until the end of time."We plan to ship the best Twisted Metal ever made... Most importantly, we plan on treating you - the kind folks who play our game (and pay our bills) - like the VIPs that you are. You only deserve our best and we appreciate your understanding as we take a little more time to guarantee that our best is what we deliver." Tom Ivan
