I’ve never been able to figure out if Harbor City would have kept the skill weapons, which would indicate it was closer in spirit to Black, or ditched them like TMHO did, and among other things, embrace a more “good luck dodging this sucker” idea that TMHO ushered in. Particularly one of Black’s most awesome ideas, skill weapons was forgotten. One thing that always pissed me off about TMHO, and the TM that followed, is how many of Black's critically acclaimed ideas were buried and forgotten as if they were embarrassed about them or something. This is probably small potatoes from a sane perspective, but I hadn't noticed something on this page before: How can that not put a stake through your heart? Today's info was awesome to run into. To a Twisted Metal: Black fan like me, any new tidbit of TMB2 is like a holy grail of "what ifs." The game was pretty much done, and then it was buried. Well, every once in a while I go hunting to see if there's more info out there.

only a few characters) but with MULTIPLE endings have actually been thought of clear back in 2004 with TMB2?įun to think about, but we'll probably never know. two endings?Ĭould it be that what we thought was a new idea for TM2012 (i.e. This seems like it could be an example of a wish gone bad with Calypso. He also, for whatever reason, seems to be yanking them off only to find another one. Clearly Sweet Tooth is sitting on a pile of masks just like the one he always wears. It's certainly disturbing for the black universe. Could it have been Sweet Tooth's proposed ending from Harbor City? It also starts with text saying the last enemy has been destroyed, which would imply it's an ending sequence. It's labelled a "storyboard" sequence which typically means it's not done, just a rough artists rendition of how a storyboard sequence in the game might have looked. Hell, Black is even referenced in that game.īased on the vids, it looks like the first vid, where Sweet Tooth slashes the screen, was a test to get a feel for the universe and such. It's likely a lot of that bled over into TMHO. Clearly when TMHO was started 3/4 of the way through TMB2 they already had some ideas about the story of TMB2 and how it was going to go down. I was actually thinking pretty much the same thing and it's cool to see that you had the same idea.


TMHO is what TMB2 turned in to, and TMB2 was cancelled because Sony wanted a TM game on the PSP to sell it, and couldn't do TMB2 because then TMB would be on PS2 and TMB2 would be on PSP, so they took what they had of TMB2 and turned it into TMHO. Okay, now stick with me here, this might be too crazy of an idea but.
