Twisted Metal: The Complete History | The Golden Bolt



You can’t tell the story of the PlayStation without telling the story of Twisted Metal, and yet Twisted Metal’s history has rarely been told in full.

A franchise pioneered by a team of mostly engineers who had never before made a video game – led by a Sony employee who after only about a year of employment was on the last straw – and a game that was ruthlessly mocked both by Sony’s higher brass and play testers ahead of launch…which immediately won game of the year, became the system’s first true blockbuster exclusive, and helped kickstart the era of the PlayStation. This is the complete story behind the underdog series, ahead of its television revival.
