David Scott Jaffe, creator of many a legendary escapade chock-full of ultraviolence such as God of War and Twisted Metal: Black made an appearance on the official Playstation blog yesterday to offer up more details for his studio’s upcoming Playstation 3 exclusive, Twisted Metal. In addition to revealing the cover art (see above) for the new game (set for release on Valentine’s day, 2012), Jaffe also commented in a video that that the game’s first run of Twisted Metal on PlayStation 3 will come with a PSN voucher for Twisted Metal: Black, the 2001 PlayStation 2 release that rebooted the car-combat series with a much darker, more perverse aesthetic than its original titles offered.

Jaffe commented that the voucher was not only meant to be a thank-you for long-time fans and supporters of the series who have waited patiently for over a decade for this new release, but also to give gamers a sense of the thematic progression of the series. “Black was the first time when we really started to get into that darker world of Twisted Metal, and so it’s kind of a look back to allow you to sort of see where all that began. And then hopefully you’ll agree that this new one really blows that whole world open.”

Any new trophies or Playstation 3 exclusive content for Twisted Metal: Black has yet to be revealed. See the full video below.
