On his blog, David Jaffe lets slip that they're doing live action cinematics for Twisted Metal, the grim but only T-rated driving game for the Playstation 3 that will be the first Twisted Metal since the M-rated Twisted Metal Black.

In case you're like me and worried that live action will look cheesy, Jaffe knows how to get around that.
A good 85% of the shots will be dream like slow motion with Twisted Metal:Black style voice overs. To be 100% frank, that helps reduce the cheese that can sometimes creep into these sorts of game flicks. Some scenes that we showed for comic con may end up feeling too cheese for our taste and so our secret weapon is to slow it down, add the voice over while still seeing the actors talking but no longer hearing the cheese dialogue. Again, most of the slow mo shots were planned way in advance but just so you know: we're looking out for the cheese and if it creeps in, we have a way to eradicate it!
That up there is Sweet Tooth, whose non-cheesy flaming hair will be CG'ed in later.
