At Comic-Con 2010, Eat Sleep Play revealed some details about the single-player portion of the upcoming Playstation 3 exclusive, Twisted Metal. Apparently, some fans were confused with some of the elements. Fortunately, David Jaffe made a more thorough explanation of Twisted Metal’s single player campaign on his Twitter:
Musta done a bad job explaining 1 player at comic con. It is NOT taking only 3 characters thru the same 8 levels over and over. It is a campaign with 3 characters, 3 bosses, unique level type and play types within the campaign and pick whatever vehicles (out of 16 cars) to get thru the campaign. And then 3 difficulties w/ different endings 4 each char. based on the difficulty chosen.
On the TM single player- people are acting like they will not get to pick their favorite cars from the series. This is not the case. We have not announced all of the 16 vehicles yet but some fan faves are in there for sure. And for the campaign (co-op and single player) you can pick ANY of those cars to work thru the campaign. SOME levels force you to use certain cars, others let you choose, and some are...well we can't talk about how the garages work yet. There are more bosses than any other TM game, the 1 player levels are NOT just death match over and over and over, yet the 1 player levels have unique modes and goals and challenges ALONG with pure death match goals and modes. When we say only three characters we mean that the core campaign (in medium, hard, and super hard) follows three human characters (Sweet Tooth, Mr. Grimm, Dollface) that can drive ANY of the 16 vehicles over the course of a campaign longer and more varied than ANY Twisted Metal game ever made.
So hopefully that helps. But yes, does it mean you will not be seeing the story of No Face or Bloody Mary in this game? Yes it does mean that. But you get three endings for each of the supported characters (tooth, grimm, doll) that are live action and super cool looking. But yes no Axel for this game...IF you mean the MAN Axel. If you mean the vehicle Axel drives...well that is different. And as we've said, ANY character can drive ANY vehicle...so use your imagination. :)

He also posted the following about the amount of live-action cut scenes in Twisted Metal:
3 characters have 3 stories each for a total of 9 live action endings + 3 live action intros for a total of 12 movies.
Twisted Metal is slated for release next year on the Playstation 3.
