Twisted Metal 4 :: Unseen videogame footage prototype beta build

This is unseen videogame footage of an early build of Twisted Metal 4 for the PlayStation. Can you spot all the differences compared to the retail version?

According to the developer, the in-car view was helpful for debugging reasons. When the camera is outside of the car, it's easier to have algorithms for controlling its placement so that they could (hopefully) never let the player see behind world polygons into empty space. With in-car, there are not many options one can use for preventing this, and you can drive right up to polygons. Because the PS1 (and PS2 and PSP, but not PS3) would ignore rendering a polygon if any of the vertices were far enough off the screen, and that would happen very often when driving in in-car camera mode up to a wall, the player could easily see through the world.

Another change which a viewer won't notice is completely different controls from the retail version.

Thank you for informing me. The next video queued for upload has sound problems as well, but I wasn't aware that this one had it.

despite this game being hated I dont see how anyone can not love this whole series. I myself was a loyal fan all the way up to the psp game. If only they had car fighting games like this anymore. I remember when that was the only shit coming out. Vigilante 8, Road Trip, Twisted Metal. etc Car fighters were to the 90s what FPS was to 2000's

It seems a lot like Twisted Metal 3 at the beginning! Great video, I still like this game, despite it being one of the most hated in the series!

@adamthegamer2008 this one had the best controls and fluid gameplay amongst the entire series in the PSX

@Blackzero123 that is dated, it doesn't make even make sense, first they make a 2001 remake then they make a new remake for the ps3,

[Blackzero123]

@KingBooPingo Pick up Twisted Metal Head On for the PS2. It has an interview with the creator of Twisted Metal and he talks about the history of Twisted Metal and disowns both Twisted Metal 3 and Twisted Metal 4 since he didn't develop those games in the first place.

@KingBooPingo tm4 exceeded 3

[KingBooPingo]

@Blackzero123 another lie

[Blackzero123]

@KingBooPingo Critic reviews, by User Reviews the game didn't fair so well like 3 also. I admit I bought it day 1 and played it a lot but it was one of the worst of the franchise. It was even dislike by the creator of Twisted Metal.

[Blackzero123]

@KingBooPingo Its your opinion but this was one of the worst POS game in the series.
