What to Expect in the 'Twisted Metal' Series from Peacock
Mackie said that the series would reflect what the game showed the public, driving around in cars and blowing stuff up to secure the victory they search for when participating in the matches. According to Comic Book Gaming, Peacock and its show writers may change a few details about the show, with John Doe delivering a mysterious package for a chance at a new life.
'Twisted Metal' and its Legacy
"Twisted Metal" is one of the most famous games in the history of titles from the early days of the PlayStation, and it launched a franchise of different titles that appeared on the company's console. Since the game's last release in 2012, there has been no continuation of the franchise in succeeding years, and it has been a decade since the previous game.
The good thing is that Sony decided to bring it to PlayStation Now back in 2015, essentially making it available for backwards compatibility.
Last year, Sony announced the revamp of the series to bring its content and offers to the modern entertainment platform, but the unexpected announcement did not talk about a game. The adaptation is for a television series that will feature a live-action take on the game.
It hired the "Deadpool" writers for the series, and it aims to be a gritty, action-comedy like the Marvel movie.
There were rumors that Will Arnett would voice "Needles Kane," the clown driving Sweet Tooth, joining the like of Anthony Mackie's "John Doe" with the vehicle known as Roadkill. Peacock secured the series and will have a take on the game series like no other, focusing on comedy and action in this gritty, violent game from the early 2000s.
