After all, Twisted Metal hasn't had a new game in ages, despite rumors of a PlayStation 5 reboot. However, a lot of gamers seem enthusiastic about the project, and Mackie's involvement in particular. As a result, Mackie's name began trending on Twitter, as fans shared their enthusiasm for the show, and the prospect of Twisted Metal returning in some format!

Following the success of Uncharted, it's possible Twisted Metal could end up faithful to the games that inspired it! Twisted Metal is one of PlayStation's oldest franchises, and it has a devoted fanbase. Hopefully, the series will prove an entertaining one for longtime fans, and help introduce the games to a whole new audience.
