Everyone's excited for the reboot of Twisted Metal, that much we know for sure. What not everybody knows, though, is that originally, it was supposed to be just a PSN title.

This little factoid was shared by David Jaffe with IGN a couple of weeks back at GDC. "This Twisted Metal started as a PSN game. Sony is the one that came to us and said they wanted more; they liked what they were seeing and wanted to make it into a full retail product."

Fans will definitely be thanking Sony for stepping in when they did. "We actually went from PSN-only, and then we were going to be like Warhawk and SOCOM Confrontation in terms of it was going to be a US$ 39 product that was multi-player only, and then Sony's like, 'No no, they want the stories' and Marketing's like, 'Yeah, you guys don't realize how many fans love the Twisted Metal universe, you gotta give us the stories."
