there is a TM2 Extra .. that is pretty hard . So i think this port is based on that PS1 Twisted Metal 2 Extra .

nice job with the 100k

Cant promise that until I see a series of games on your channel. You know which one I'm talking about.

If the controls were better on KB/M use software like JoyToKey or DS4Windows to use your controller as a KB/M emulator.

Twisted Metal 1and2 need to be remade in a modern look so we can get the features Ps1 could not offer

“Your wish is for Twisted Metal to be more accessible? Your wish has been granted!”

​@@scentlessapprentice04 Oh that's so on point with the guy! "Say hello to poor optimization and game crashes"

@@ChaseMC215better than being stuck in space or falling to your death thinking you can fly.

I honestly won't be surprised if that's what they were going to, "Let's make a PC port of TM, but with a twist, you know? Like something Calypso would do"

​@@ChaseMC215So like the spiritual successor to Calypso going bankrupt less than a year after they formed thanks to SpongeBob The Curse of the Flying Dutchman has a freezing bug on PS2 that was very severe? The GC version never had that issue.

Even playstation 1 games do this trick (they usually switch between 240p and 480i)

@@Dxceor2486 yep! You are absolutely correct. That being said, it is way more pronounced and common on older PC games.

it is not magic, it just translate the API calls of old DX versions to DX11, the reason 99% of old games don't work on newer windows is because Microsoft just disabled all versions of DX older than 9, I don't know why they did that (probably for security reasons) otherwise win10/11 would run any game made for windows just like the older versions. Windows is surprisingly compatible with old stuff as long as the support for it is not intentionally disabled. Also google "OTVDM" it is another compatibility layer that allows those old installers to work on newer windows, so you can actually run the installers which are 16/32 bit executables and not allowed to run normally on 64-bit versions of windows.

He was using a full emulator, but yeah ultimately the problem is with a digital display.

Yeah I was about to say. Playing older games on a virtual machine is probably the worst way to play them. Nearly all of his issues would be fixed if he just ran it natively.

I was gonna say that just looks like the screen size setting changed for whatever reason, as it looked similar to how Doom does it.

the only trouble with that is people moving on. There are work in progress mods for games that will never be updated or last seen a decade ago or more

also hes the most popular guy covering twisted metal

But polygon head stood above them all!

@@joolsstoo3085 We're talking about games. Polygon man was only in PS1 ads as far I know

Sony doesn't even own Crash and Spyro, they just got a timed exclusivity for the franchises just like they did for almost every third-party franchise which is why the PS1 stomped at NES levels despite the Saturn having comparable hardware (no major screwups on the level of the N64 using cartridges instead of optical discs), it was the same tactic Nintendo used to have the NES stomp out SEGA's previous Master System all those years ago (as opposed to the other tactic of blatant monopolistic practices that only worked in the USA). Crash was a de facto mascot for the PS1 in particular instead of PlayStation as a whole in the same way Cloud Strife was, and for the same reasons. The fact that you left the initial intended flagship mascots for PS1 and PS2, Robbit and Jak, tells you how forgettable they ended up being even though Jak and Daxter also deserve more respect from Sony, but Robbit? Nobody even knew he existed! It was Sweet Tooth's smiling flaming face that graced all the magazines of the day such as Fingerhut that weren't gaming magazines, but shopping magazines used to actually promote and sell the brand and product to the general audience to whom PlayStation was new, they just remembered Nintendo and SEGA at that point. Sweet Tooth and even Calypso were more important than pretty much any mascot that Sony actually owned, as opposed to the mercenaries they hired to pilot the PS1 to victory, they were the ones standing shoulder to shoulder with Crash, Spyro, Cloud, the lot of them! And while Ratchet and Kratos eventually took over the PS2 and beyond, Twisted Metal: Black is still one of the world-conquering PS2's most vividly-remembered and talked-about experiences. 🤡 🔥

@@jaccblacc8424 No, we're talking about mascots. But if you really HAVE to make that distinction, he was in a sony first party game too. It just took a while.

People have been suggesting this for ages now on the site. always thought they were wanting a port; didn’t know they already had some.

Imagine that happening. If the original Resident Evil games were released on GOG, why not Twisted Metal? Granted it might have something to do with Sony and PlayStation, they're probably gonna screw the releases up with a mandatory PSN account requirement

@@ChaseMC215 GOG is DRM free and those PC versions are very old so PSN integration would be impossible.

@@shadicpro21 Thankfully. Otherwise we would deal with a 2nd helldivers situation

It would be great to see old PC ports of Playstation games re-released digitally & be updated to run decently. As well as re-releases of pc games that Sony also owns like Lemmings (yes, really).

Yep, transparency and lighting were something that PS1 was ahead of PCs of the time.

@@touppivery interesting

bro GOG is a storefront, not a system.

@@Blink_____ That's exactly what I was thinking. I don't think they necessarily need to go to GOG as you'd more than likely then have to buy them. Whereas most games on myabdonedware are free.

@@GalactusTheDestroyer The entire point of GOG (at least last I knew) was that they tweaked the games to work well with modern systems so all you have to do is install and play. I don't mind throwing a few bucks to a dev team if they're putting in that work. Otherwise you're left to fumble around with settings like TBP did in this video, lol.

you trying to put the team through hell to get it to run on modern PCs without fan mods?

Windows 98 games are special.. Though a lot of them work on XP machines and XP runs natively on hardware up to 2012, so you could run this without problems on a core2duos running XP, which is fantastic for LAN parties.

Luckily Flatout works near flawlessly.

both DD games run fine on DOS, the windows version you need SVEGA 2.0 for it to work

Give it a couple more years and we'll see both get released on GOG

I've only ever played TM2 on PC

Tm2 is popular on pc..?

Honestly an old school emulator like bleem might give you better results.

@@acactusnamedjosh708 I'm over it at this point. PS1 emulators are pretty close to perfect these days so if I ever get the itch for classic TM, I just reach for Duckstation.

I think most of the issues listed in the first part are just emulation woes caused by the dire situation pc emulators are in at the moment. There's not really a *good* pc emulator for the windows 9x era imo

Other differences are less slippery handling, being able to perform combo attacks without delay (dropping 4 mines on the same spot before the first is even activated) though unintentional combo attacks can happen often, Ricochets dealing double damage, and being able to instantly choose a weapon with 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, and 8 keys.

Hey man, I became a dad earlier this week and it's seemed like complications and setbacks have become the norm and it's got me pretty down too. We're gonna pull through. You've got this. You dont have to be perfect, you just gotta do your best.
