I picked up the PS2 version of Twisted Metal: Head On yesterday and had a bit of fun with it. It was nice to see all the extra production info, too bad the game isn't not online.Before you play the section of the four never before seen Twisted Metal Black 2 levels, ther's a video describing that the sequel to Twisted Metal Black was halted because 6 of the production members died in an airplane accident on a celebratory ski trip. The story goes that two years later on the exact date of their death a note was sent to Sony pleading to release the completed levels...signed by the six dead game makers(dun Dun DUNNNNNN!!). After you beat the 4 levels on hard, you can see the note which reads:
We are disappointed to hear of your decisionTo keep the world from seeing the last
Of our work
...We Beg of You...
Show them all what we have done...
Show them our last earthly deeds
...If you doubt our existence look to the
Dark past for proof that we are who we say
For in the dark past you will find proof
That we know what the future will bring...
And do not forget...
The truth lies in the greenery of Paris...
...To the left the truth is revealed...
This is why we have come back...
...To let you know what awaits...
The disc also has a half hour documentary entitled "Twisted Metal: The Dark Past" and right at a portion where they're speaking about the Paris level in TM1, numbers flash quickly throughout the rest of the film(I wasn't able to capture the first one):




Using a basic numbered alphabet code it spells out "Twisted Metal is Coming On PSThree". Jaffe has previously mentioned that the game would include clues to the next game that his new production company Eat Sleep Play was making, so that appears to be it. I'll bet those signatures contain additional clues/jokes.Big thanks to the posters at GameFAQs and NeoGAF so the quick info. I'd seen the numbers while watching is last night and was planning to decode it today, but they beat me to it.
