Same bro, love cranking that hog, iconic!

Now that's a riddle i can't solve lol.

I personally like both, but if i had to choose, it'd be the speed of Black.

It has the same color as my previous mod. I'll see what i can do about Outlaw.

I'll think about it.

For the image as a whole: I used a TM:HC late 2005 build screenshot of one of the alleys in Downtown and grabbed the FMV Charlie Kane image then grabbed some parts of Taxi Boy, John Doe, Billy Ray Stillwell's heads and mashed it all into one, in order to make him look like a grown up version of Needles' younger brother (18/19 year old).

@@lughzi1591 nice! I felt so bad for Needles' brother in Black. I would have loved for them to battle in HC.

​​@@wildc4t867 Same, i would also have loved it if they interacted with each other in the Mission Mode, i like to imagine Calypso taking care of Needles' brother.

It even fits with a popular theory that i strongly believe in, one that claims that TM:B is just the 2005 Tournament in Needles' eyes (TM1 through Needles' nihilstic outlook on life).

​@@lughzi1591In principle, this is quite logical, although it is still not very clear which levels were distorted in his mind, and which were simply a nightmare (according to one theory, Minion's Stadium is his nightmare). The same story with Harbor City, although it is a pity that the developers did not even make music for Lost, changing the tracks from Black. Exception: Death Port, although honestly the theme from there is more reminiscent of the music from MLaaTR...

It's the 1996 Spectre skin from Twisted Metal 2. But i can easily make a 1995 version from Twisted Metal (since it's just a stripeless version of the one from 2).

Thanks, feel free to use this Mod for your future video.

Gold Tooth was a creation of Jaffe for Lost, there's zero evidence of such car existing in Harbor City, so you could say that it was indeed created in the same way as Death Port, seeing as how both reused assets from Harbor City (The TMB Ice Cream Truck's 3D model, the models and textures of Shipyards and Docks assets).

Same, i love the graphics of Twisted Metal: Head On.

*Harbor City. Which is why Hammerhead got cut from Harbor City, however, it is assumed that the cars of the roster which looked too colorful, would've gotten the Black Treatment had development continued. The reason these more colorful variants of the cars exist is because they are from the first plans of the game, where it would be a sort of Destroy your Hometown type of game with the Ultimate TM Roster (all cars from 1, 2 ane Black), basically a cross between the colorful and dark worlds of the series, with a tournament taking place in the fictional version of Seattle known as Harbor City. But as development went on, the crossover angle got axed and they decided to make it a sequel to Black, so they improved the existing mechanics, the city and added some scrapped cars from TMB (Old Pickup, Kiss My Ass Stock Car which got transformed into the Stock Car from Harbor City, also known as 12-Pak in TM: Lost). But once they realised the city was too big and the several opponents (more than 14, most likely could be chosen) were getting too lost with the map as well as the playtesters, they were forced to downscale the project's maps, which is how Scenter transformed from Seattle's Center to City Center (The Blackbeard Funfare and The Arena from Late 2005 build, also known as Carnival of Darkness in TM: Lost) and many chunks of Downtown and Docks were forcibly removed, leaving them with unnatural replacements (the road abruptly cutting off in the upper streets and the highway clipping into the hills from the Docks map and the hills surrounding the map, the unnatural grass chunks where the Aquarium was, and an abruptly cut off road leading into the sewer, where there was once a bridge leading to the chinatown side of Downtown, which lead to the 2 transition zones of the underground tunnel system of Downtown to get unusued due to the map changes) Similar changes happened to Suburbs too, which resulted in an entire section of the map and it's stores to get completely removed, causing an sewer transition to be completely unused. Downtown of the late build also features the construction site and bridge jump of Freeway's later portions (refer to the TM Wiki's Harbor City page to know what i mean) being copy pasted into the map's backdrop without their textures, which means the freeway map must've also underwent immense changes due to the entire map changing as well, being enough to warrant it's abandonment.

Yeah, maybe they could've done it like in V8: 2nd Offense, where you could choose custom colors in the main menu's character select by pressing Square to open the menu for changing color, saturation and brightness. I loved using that feature to drive a completely black version of Torque's Car.

Not really but whatever.

@@lughzi1591 lol I’m just kidding because the coloring just reminds me of Crazy 8 lol

It had a highway system where you would be led into tunnels, roads, intersections or the entire freeway level. Becker's Island originally featured a bridge in Shipyard that led to the island itself but it can't be found in the latest build (so most likely the transition would've been replaced by that of a Ferry Boat, seen close to the Shipyard pier where the player sometimes spawns on top of it) Basically the entire city was supposed to be connected and you'd drive to the locations.

​@@lughzi1591Damn, Harbor City would have been the end of the world for GTA if everything had been good :(

​​​@@ThrashMusicBox Yeah... I don't think it'd beat GTA in sales but maybe Harbor City could've kept the Car Combat genre alive for much longer, with the new features and gamemodes, who knows? It's such a shame that it was cancelled.

I could, but the first one's gonna be the Orange 12-Pak.

I played it entirely with all characters in about 22+ hours, and i can safely say that it's good. Of course it has it's flaws (several) but they are undermined by the amount of good stuff. The physics in this game allow for way longer jumps and lots of daredevil flip stunts, unlike in the first 2 games where if you had an accident you'd either roll over for a long time or just hit the ground with strength and get pulled back up by the strength of the recoil, and you couldn't do any flips with cool landings, you'd always land terrible if you tried. I also liked how the final level has a different strategy, destroy 5 levers (3 in bottom floor, 2 in the upper floors) to shut down the regeneration machine, then kill all the 5 contestants in the blimp to be able to face off against Primeval. Speaking of him, he's a badass demon with a horn coming out of the back of his head, super bulky and muscular, with a really sick vehicle, i love his stats and his special attack, really wish he was playable without codes and that he had an ending. Same thing about Darkside, he easily could've been part of the roster but due to the short development time, they weren't able to include him and Primeval due to their collision issues (most likely in levels such as Egypt or London), really wish i also got to see Mr. Ash's ending. Only thing i hate with a passion in this game is the disconnect between the bios and endings of 99% of the cast.

@@lughzi1591 Thumper was my main. Pushing multiple enemies to pitfalls or certain doom was so much fun. Even if the ending was super cheezy, I could not stop laying as Thumper (and then Outlaw was a close second).

@@arzangofthebrothersoflightario I can understand why, it was fun playing as him. I agree, i loved using the enviromental attacks to my advantage, really rewards the player for their smarts. Yeah, the wish for thumper was super cheesy, he could've easily kicked it with the homies in the crib without needing to compete (unless he wanted Calypso to join him, but sadly they did not go with that approach). Outlaw has the 2nd best crowd control Special, next to Club Kid's.

Yeah Jaffe was whacked out of his mind when he came up with the driver for this car. The actual driver used in Harbor City is unknown, because they never worked on a driver (they would work first on the cars then after the characters), that's why Jaffe had to come up with the headless Boomer guy for the Lost content.

@@lughzi1591 Basically I think all the characters from Black are just placeholders and maybe other drivers were supposed to sit like that but that's just a guess

​@@lughzi1591I can say the same about the Death port location, as in this video. It looks like it's just a cross between ship models, not a full-fledged location.

​@@ThrashMusicBox Yeah, they were put in to add more content for Lost, they even readded their Specials, but they only removed Axel's Alternate Special but also buffed his normal Special. Yeah, the Death Port map is a collage of map objects from Shipyard and Docks.

@@lughzi1591 Well... it's sad that Harbor City was cancelled after all :( But if it had come out, what would the Twisted Metal series look like now? Would the 2012 version have been as dark as Black and Lost?

Nah, it's fanart of my friend's redesign for his own version of Mr. Grimm's Harbor City Look. I merely recreated it to be placed ingame.

No, it's not a fan-game, what this project entails is a video about all 7 missions in Mission Mode but like if they were a little bit more complete, i'm gonna do AI voice acting for Needles, I'm gonna do some voice acting for Dr. Becker and a few minor characters using my own voice, include soundtrack from other games and of a friend of mine's, as well as including cutscenes that fill in the gaps of the first 7 missions, as well as retexture mods when needed (by using Photoshop, Blender, GIMP and XNALara to my advantage, since i dunno jack about 3D Animations, only the most basic of modelling and texture / UV work), to basically let people know what the story could have been like, whilst also featuring gameplay. I've been also contacting a friend of mine in TMA to let me know if it's all lore / character-accurate, and i intend to include the most amount of SFX possible, i'm trying to put all my heart into this project to make sure it's something of quality, even if it's of the amateurish kind, this game has been a lifelong obssession of mine and i intend to bring this game justice in the best way possible.

The misleading part wasn't intentional, at the time of posting, i was extremely tired and just grabbed whatever screenshots i found in my way, i had worked on several mods in a short span and it had drained my energy. As for the beta model, i couldn't find any reliable way to modify the driver without crashing the game so i just stuck to making a long sleeve version of the beta outfit, it's a mod separate from the one you were trying to download.

PCSX2. Archive.org might help, try looking for Twisted Metal: Head On - Extra Twisted Edition ISO there.

True, also, Black used actual screenshots of the levels, rather than concept arts, my mod basically makes the game's portraits and loading screens follow that same principle, which looks WAY better, not gonna lie.

The dialogue he utters in the video is already the loading screen dialogue, since Harbor City effectively removed Loading Screens apart from ones where you load your progress / start a new game, so the only way they could've returned is by being monologues the drivers utter as they drive to the next location.

@@lughzi1591 I see!

Thanks! Made this due to a thought i had and thought why not make it into a pseudo-reality? I could then use this as a placeholder for the Estate level, when i talk about Harbor City indepth in the future.

Sure, i'll get around to it eventually, but it might take some time.

Almost forgot about Bumblebee's existence, thanks for reminding me, i can see the resemblance but i still feel Tanner's Challenger is a closer comparison, i even added the 1971 challenger's front bumper look.

@@lughzi1591 indeed!

Green lightning sounds cool, it gave me an idea... I could try and find the textures for crazy-8's lightning and see if it's possible to turn it green (100% guaranteed for Black, not sure about HO), but i won't make it a priority, i want to release some 3 retextures i had to put on hold for this one, i prepped them for release and i'll record the showcases sometime after i've woken up today, i'm up way too late lol.

It's possible, i could try doing it sometime.

Glad it's 1:1 with your vision.

@@lughzi1591 ;)

Thanks, glad i made you happy! Edited the video's title to give him due credit. I used Crimson Fury's alpha layer, used GIMP to remove the alpha threshold of all of his 3 textures then worked on each of them using photoshop, then using DXTbmp to make a TGA with the edited PNGs and the alpha layer, then used GIMP to export as PNG again, so that it works with PCSX2. It's something i figured out yesterday.

just like how I pictured it! =)

​@@MK1MonsterOck1989 Glad it's 1:1 with your vision.
