I guess I'm asking, is there anyone who's found a fix to get around this? That guy who made that vid clearly did and some others have to since I've seen them talk about how it runs on their systems. Additional enhanced features include Shareplay, Remote Play, Activity Feeds and Second Screen support for game manuals with PS Vita or PS App. I also know that the servers where shutdown 4ish years ago so that explains that. Experience Twisted Metal Black for PS2 system with 1080p up-rendering and Trophies. So I did all of the steps and checked everything, but when I launch the game, it gets me stuck at the 'Initializing Twisted Metal ONLINE connectivity' and there's no way to bypass this. Parts of its idea were later used for the Carnival of Carnage. So I watched this and thought to myself 'Wow why don't I just do that'. Concept art of an unused Bagger boss fight for TW 2012 that never happened, yes.
So this brings me to why I'm making this post: I am a big fan of emulators since I have a capable PC, and I came across a guy on YouTube who made a video documenting footage of the Twisted Metal (2012) game on the RPCS3 emulator ( ). Much like all of you, I am a MASSIVE fan of this series and have since gone back over the years and played pretty much EVERY single game and its copycats to fill the void of the absent relevant vehicular-combat shooter we all love.
