For a game promotion I have to admire them for at least thinking outside the box. Also 0:36-0:42 is badass.
Twisted Metal
Game » consists of 3 releases. Released Feb 14, 2012
The long-running tournament-based vehicular manslaughter simulator returns with this new entry, exclusive to the Playstation 3.
So David Jaffe wants us to shoot his truck via the internet...

None of those swears were scripted. That's just Jaffe.
Haha, I came to post pretty much that exact line.

@pw2566chGiving nerds directional control over a real gun via the internet seems like a recipe for disaster.I have a question about this. Is there any chance we can aim the gun? Because I wouldn't mind shooting out the tires or Sweet Tooth's head.
Oh wait. You think that we're going to try to shoot at one of the people running this ad campaign? BWAHAHAHAHAHA!! That's actually not a bad idea.
If the gun is actually an m249 (FN Minimi), I wonder who's going to be loading all the boxes, switching the gas regulator when it gets fouled, and changing the barrels... eager to see this

I want David Jaffe and Tim Schafer to star in a sitcom together.
Love it.
Also, am I alone in thinking this is a fucking lawsuit waiting to happen??
Hmm I don't find shooting a truck by clicking a mouse button appealing at all. Shooting holes into a truck with a heavy mg sure does sound like fun (and really exhausting), but only if I'm the person holding the gun.
It's good that people actually seem to think this is cool, though. Hopefully that promotion will sell them a few additional copies.

According to Jaffe it's filled with C4. Don't even know how that's gonna work but still...
SWEET!
The C4 comes into play when they choose the 3 people to do the "kill shot" tomorrow. But for now people just firing the gun at targets, some of them explosive i do believe. With new targets put up on the hour. Testing the gun now, still not being fired by people online.
also, BEST VIDEO GAME PROMOTION EVERRRRR!
I've been watching it for awhile now. They keep it interesting with the ice cream truck spinning around and different type of targets with hidden explosives. They've been running into some trouble, like when the truck caught on fire and they had to quickly shut down the three guns and go running out there with fire extinguishers. They managed to get it out.
Sweet Tooth's truck burning to the ground before it blows up with C4 isn't part of the plan.
Coming up on the final 3 hours till they blow it, even though it's already swiss cheese. Been enjoying to watch, especially with Jaffe giving it colorful commentary.
