Gamers Are Ready for Vehicular Combat to Make a Comeback

by

As a gamer who grew up in the 90s and early 2000s, I can tell you that the gaming landscape has drastically changed since those days. Back then, couch co-op was more than just a feature; it was an integral part of our social life. Games like Twisted Metal and Vigilante 8 were the epitome of vehicular combat, and their absence in today’s gaming world is sorely felt.

90s and early 2000s gaming was quite distinct compared to today’s experience. Instead of online multiplayer sessions, we had couch co-op, where gatherings with friends or family were often centered around these shared gaming experiences. Modern gaming has come a long way, allowing us to play together effortlessly using advanced consoles. While the nostalgia for older games is strong, many gamers yearn for the return of vehicular combat games like Twisted Metal and Vigilante 8.

Sony experienced a turbulent September this year. The shutdown of Concord was followed by the triumph of Astro Bot, but now, due to the recent criticisms about the high price range and limited game selection for the PS5 Pro, there might be a need for Sony to revise its strategy concerning its lineup of games.

Reviving vehicular combat games like Twisted Metal could spark curiosity among players seeking alternatives to the currently trendy open-world action RPGs. Games such as Astro Bot demonstrate that expansive, yet sparsely populated open worlds are not essential for an engaging gaming experience.

Contrarily, it’s been confirmed that Twisted Metal will return for a second season on TV, and production has already begun. Given the TV series’ success, gamers can only cross their fingers in anticipation of game developers reviving the franchise for gaming platforms again.
