David Jaffe and the Eat Sleep Play developer team has taken to PS Blog to announce that Twisted Metal has been delayed to early 2012.

Sony is no longer shipping Twisted Metal October 4th, 2011. David Jaffe claimed that "the truth is: we’re just not ready yet."

"It sucks bad when games miss their announced launch dates. We’re gamers too and we know how annoying it is," he continued. "It’s disappointing and frustrating and it really takes the wind out of your sails if you’re a fan that has been looking forward to playing a title for a long time. Thing is, you gotta trust me when I tell you that – with this extra time for tuning and polish – the game is going to be so much better than it already is."

"With Twisted Metal we plan to ship a multiplayer classic. We plan to ship the best Twisted Metal ever made. We plan to convert a lot of folks who think vehicle combat is a relic best left to 90′s nostalgia."

Twisted Metal is now set to ship in early 2012, still as a PlayStation 3 exclusive.
