Sadly no, it's not

Gotta say the gameplay looks frantic and chaotic. Very fluid controls. I can see why many here are excited.

Then why are preorders so low? seriously?

Because "PS3 owners don't care anymore" as a wise man once said.

I was hoping for an opinion from PS3 loyals themselves to get some perspective. 

Because this is one scenario where I hope I am not right. Great games shouldn't be ignored. 

I can only speculate that the Twisted Metal pinnacle days were in the PS1 era. A long time has passed so maybe many of the fans simply grew up and stopped gaming. Europe has always been less enthused with violent games with few exceptions like COD. And Japan outright doesnt like violent western games. Thats me anyway. Shame really.

Did you not read my previous post.

Seriously though, there hasn't been a full Twisted Metal game in several years. And even back then, the series never saw huge numbers. So of course the pre-orders will be low. It could have decent sales due to quality, but pre-orders are mainly determined by past iteration sales.

And I wouldn't really take VGC's preorder data too seriously. It's agreed by most people to be the most inaccurate of VGC's data.

You have low expectations... I expect a 90 for Twisted Metal and and 86 for starhawk.  DAYUM! Wanna bet? XD I say BOTH will score under 85. WINNER GETS SIG CONTROL FOR ..1 month xD. We'll wait for both to launch. If I am right in one case and wrong in the other, we'll call it a tie :P. Alright deal's on.

You are to be defeated just like Andrespetmonkey before you!

So here is the bet, I will use this topic as proof :P:
Bet with dsage01: I said that Starhawk and Twisted Metal will score under 85 metacritic once all reviews are in. Should both be under 85, I get control over his signature for a month. Should one be under 85, it's a tie. Should none be above 85, he gets control over my signature for a month.

Don't worry I kept it as my new signature. If Starhawk doesn't come out this year we'll change it to some other game. Deal?
