Twisted Metal: BLACK (First Time Playthrough)

I picked Outlaw because the special seemed useful for a beginner because you don't have to face towards a target with the twitch movement this game offers. I had no idea the game would be this brutal, and to me the steering physics is something that's gonna take time to get used to. Luckily they designed the physics so there's very little friction with walls so it's hard to legitimately get stuck.
The pacing is obviously quick, and the CPU players all operate like how a SingleTrac TM is normally designed...all targeting you. Because of how fast and twitchy this game is, it's really hard to decipher the personality and temperament of the CPU players and even remember the layout at times (although the maps aren't really complicated at all). I found no secrets at all so unlocking vehicles is going to be rather interesting.
I'm not remotely a fan of the Warhawk battle, and I have the sneaky suspicion that I won't be able to go through this game deathless on Hard, at all...Nothing about it seems possible for me. Granted I will give this game a shot, and see what happens but there's no guarantees.
The first arena was great, so was the Prison. Everything else kinda just blended in. TM4 still has some of the best Arena design from what I've played in this series so far.
The SFX design in this game is top notch along with the GFX. The gameplay is...well not bad, but getting used to this game will take time. The reverse steering was probably the worst decision for a game like this unless they wanted to re-create how you joust an opponent. It feels ass backwards.

twisted metal black was always my favorite, I look forward to more videos and seeing your journey as you go from brand new to an expert at it, I know you'll get there!

@mr.bp-dcbg 8 месяцев назад

Doubt. I really hate steering in this game. If I can learn to properly enjoy this game maybe, but I'll be honest don't expect any high level footage from me.

@@mr.bp-dcbg that's okay too! honestly even on your first time playing you're already a lot better than most of us were at this game lol. I always had to have infinite health and specials

Giving it more time and consideration. 2nd playthrough is here, and I might go for a 3rd playthrough on Hard or at least try to not have an restarts on medium.

@ShagthePoker 8 месяцев назад

17:00 You can play on maps without fighting any opponents. Select challenge mode and when you go to select your opponents, hold L2 + R2, wait a sec, let go of them both and press O. The timing is tricky so it'll take you a few tries. 46:46 He can see you because you got hit by the freeze, and if you either get hit by a weapon or crash into a vehicle while invis(including npc vehicles), the AI instantly sees you even before the visual effect ends.

I don't think I've told you, but your name is badass. Anyhoo, appreciate the information and the code. I don't know if invisibility would ever come in handy with how I tend to play this kind of game, but I shall keep that in mind. The fact that it's so delicate almost makes it not worth it to me, but we'll see what the future has in store. Great job on the deathless run on Drive In Movie Theater. What's weird is that, that map would work great for a first arena with just 2-3 opponents like the first game's 1v1 duel. Missed opportunity.

@BigSlick98 8 месяцев назад

A lot better than my first time with this game. I was like 10 and got stuck on Suburbs on easy. Never played the game again until I was like 17. Now I can finally play on hard but I prefer Medium.

@mr.bp-dcbg 8 месяцев назад

The steering is the biggest problem with this game for me. It could be far more enjoyable with better steering, and visibility. The biggest issue for new timers isn't really just the speed, it's how frantic everything is so how the hell do they expect anyone to learn at a proper pace. I'll give it another shot, and maybe play offscreen a lot if I can learn to enjoy this game, but I'll be honest the steering is a major turn off.

@mr.bp-dcbg 8 месяцев назад

Well, I DO actually like how fast and frantic the game is, BUT that's also the problem when trying to learn everything. I'm definitely going to record a 2nd playthrough with another vehicle and try the other levels. I kind of question why you're given a choice for which maps you can go to without having the option to have a marathon tournament or a randomizer just for the hell of it. How you doin' long time subscriber?

@remydirt3158 8 месяцев назад

@@mr.bp-dcbg I would recommend using the analog sticks over the dpad it may make it easier although it may just be a preference thing love the videos and yes hard mode is exhaustingly brutal. And I'm ok got some trials and tribulations to face in my life just got off house arrest so that's good but got a long road ahead still. I don't think I've been subbed that long. I hope you are doing well I believe I remember you saying you have been going through some stuff as well and I pray you keep your head up and persevere.

@mr.bp-dcbg 8 месяцев назад

I doubt I can master this game. I DON'T like the steering at all. Will give another playthrough and show the other maps I missed, but the steering and double tap for turbo I almost hate completely.

I'm giving it some more time and have a 2nd playthrough uploaded. It's gonna be a rough journey, but the game feels fun once you get the hang of it.

@Bogdaman2 8 месяцев назад

Yeah, Warhawk kinda sucks... SingleTrac always wanted to bring aircraft to TM series, and they finally done it, here, and then in TM 2012 in a form of a playable helicopter. Needless to say, both of those attempts are kinda meh, really out of place for a TM game. I've also noticed, that you were giving a handicap to team AI. Looks like you've noticed that after taking a break on rooftops level, that mashing fire (I think) button during a special when there's a pointing red laser visible (I believe, it's when an enemy is directly in front of Outlaw vehicle) also launches some rockets toward this enemy in addition to machine gun fire, which makes this special much better. That's a feature in that game, that some of the vehicles have some additional, mostly not too obvious, interactive features for their specials, which reached its logical conclusion with TM2012, where each vehicle has two clearly defined special modes, that can be switched between each other before using a special (and those modes are like having two different specials in a single vehicle)

@mr.bp-dcbg 8 месяцев назад

I'm assuming by handicap you mean the game started to assist me? It seems to me that 2012 was David Jaffe and dev teams ultimate TM game that simply had too many tech issues, and not enough single player content or something because from what you tell me, it seems like that game tried to fix many "issues" from previous titles from a gameplay and visual perspective. I'm thinking that TM was just destined to "die" so to speak. Not because it was ever bad, but it seems to have slightly missed the mark or the formula could only last so long before it becomes "QUAKE-ified".

@Bogdaman2 8 месяцев назад

@@mr.bp-dcbg I meant you were underusing Outlaw's special a bit, making AI opponents' lifes a bit easier ))

@Bogdaman2 8 месяцев назад

@@mr.bp-dcbg and about TM, I think you are right, Jaffe was open about team (and himself) not exactly sure about what makes Twisted Metal series successful. TM2 ended up not being very profitable, TM3 is the game that made the most money in the franchise. From there, it looks like, the series fanbase was mostly dwindling, and even while games were receiving warm reception, they weren't really a standout success. I feel like with all those rumours about issues with development of a new TM game, no one really knows how to do a working TM game.

@Bogdaman2 8 месяцев назад

@@mr.bp-dcbg BTW, also found this old promotional video on TM2012, it's somewhat blurry, original versions were removed from YT, I think, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1M9TVn7agU8.html But it basically shows how unhinged, in a good way, partly, the developers were while designing the game. But in the end, you are right, they've spread too thin, and sadly, the final game underdelivered both on single player content, notably replayability, and stability of multiplayer content. I really do love the amount of creativity put into the game and its features, and how they've managed to make the game more interactive, even in this small trailer they show the ways to counter enemy plays, which makes for a great competitive game IMO. I believe if the developers had another shot on the game, they could've made something absolutely special... But this never happened, and TM2012 is somewhat both the highest and the lowest points of the series simultaneously :sad: * and there's a LOT of such "Warhawk moments" in the TM 2012 single player campaign as well...

@jaredchristenson772 3 месяца назад

Honestly I think Warhawk is one of the best bosses in the series. It's not that bad once you understand how it operates and what strategies to use, but still very challenging. It is kind of frustrating with Darkside because your special is useless unless you need a speed boost. But I do agree Talon isn't that great as for a playable vehicle though.

@lordraiden1038 8 месяцев назад

So Outlaw huh? Well he handles decent in this game, and his special does good damage when you can get them up close with ramming. Your first time playing this looks a lot smoother than my first time on TM 2 I’ll say that. You’ll get more used to the driving mechanics with time. I also hate how the reverse steering is the opposite of 2 it makes it feel weird going between games. If you’re interested I could send you a bunch of notes on how each AI behaves and what weapons they use in this game. Hope you enjoy your time with it brother.

@mr.bp-dcbg 8 месяцев назад

Well, TM2 actively tries to fuck the player over with anything, anywhere at any point in time while this game removes that, but homes in on the fast brutal terminate the player style. In regards to reversing in this game I think I can understand what they were trying to achieve which is essentially make it a 3rd person shooter in a vehicle, but with a controller and I can see it being good for jousting, dueling, and using that weird Reticle weapon, but the fact that it's forced and can't be changed is irritating. I will do one more playthrough and consult you afterwards in regards to the CPU players. From what I've noticed: Spectre is still somewhat the same (Keep her distance, camp, or assist another CPU) Darkside wants to kiss you after she freezes you Axel's an asshole as usual so just keep your distance Sweet Tooth got heavily nerfed compared to 2...Just don't be stupid and think you can out muscle him at mid range Roadkill will camp and charge his special so he needs to be actively avoided or exterminated quick because it does an extreme amount of damage Warthog is probably the easiest because he doesn't move fast and wants to get up close, and sometimes almost becomes unresponsive if you don't move Outlaw looked balanced and I assumed the steering wasn't too tight or too sluggish so I could get used to movement, and dodging. The special doesn't require me to look at a target as well so I could survive more often.

@lordraiden1038 8 месяцев назад

@@mr.bp-dcbg Yeah this game is more ‘fair’ in the sense you’ve stated. Doesn’t cheap shot you to death really outside of Roadkill. Still the AI is smarter and loves to gang up on you. Yeah you’ve basically got it done with how those guys behave. Keep in mind a lot of them also start to scatter more once they’ve taken over half life in damage. Makes it important to kill them before they get the chance to run off. And yeah definitely feel free to ask. You helped me dealing with some TM 2 shenanigans so it’s only right I give you advice. Lord knows this game won’t give you a leg up. They prefer to kick dirt in the players face while they’re down. Outlaw is a good pick and can deal big damage with Mega guns when you have them trapped in front of you with your special active. You’ll notice ramming is best with big cars in this game as it can lock them in place and allow you to wail on them. My favorite part of playing heavies in this game, given how much of a bullet sponge the AI is on hard.

Warkhawk can kiss my ass. The game like TM2 gives mixed feelings of fun and frustrating. It seems potentially less BS than 2, but I have no idea how difficult Hard actually will be. Another playthrough will happen soon to playthrough other arenas. All is well on my end. I suppose everything is alright with you?

I wish this game had more color to the levels to make it have more visual variety. Also I like the AI being a challenge but they just hound you, which goes against how the devs want you to play, explore, and figure out the unique maps.

@mr.bp-dcbg 8 месяцев назад

SingleTrac and Incognito are the same people so they seem to follow the same philosophy of hivemind intelligent AI. And yeah, they expanded with exploration, secrets, destruction and such, but the pacing, and hive minded AI really prevent that from happening. Someone gave me a code to explore the maps without fighting opponents though so that's good for studying. Everything good on your end?
