Twisted Metal Coming to PS3? Message in an Explosion

Take a good look at the image above. Is that just an explosion, or is there a laughing clown’s face hidden in there?
I don’t know where this image comes from, but it’s been getting some heavy attention on the PS3 forums. Speculators are already citing this as evidence that a new installment of the Twisted Metal series — known for it’s crazy vehicular combat and one homicidal clown known as “Sweet Tooth” — is already in the works for the PS3. On the one hand, that clown doesn’t really look like Sweet Tooth (he sports a more creepy, less gleeful face usually), so this could all just be wild rumor. Of course, on the other hand, that clown face stands out a lot, and what other game series involves a clown and huge explosions? Well except for a game I invented called “Clown Exploder 4000,” which isn’t so much a game as a felony in 23 states. Ohio finally caught on.

That would be great for the PS3. I liked some of the Twisted metal games on the PS2 and PS one back in the day. I want comment on the photo. I have to say this is finally a good advertising photo for a game. in the past some PS3 commercials or advertising campagins dont make sence ( Crying baby) or go way too far ( the Goat Slaughtering incident) and get banned.
I would say Twisted Metal would be a popular seller like the ones of the past. That is one cool photo, i had to look twice to see the clowns image.

I've never played a twisted metal game so I have no idea whether this would be good or not but I love that picture.
If there is one thing in the world more evil than nukes, it's clowns.

I love the Twisted Metal series and all but unless they have new material and new awesome maps, this is just going to be the same experience and will probably get old fast.
The advert is brilliant though
