David Jaffe’s already said Twisted Metal is coming to PS3. And sure, lots of games involve cars and humans. But a sloppily posted screenshot of an email may tease the game’s unveiling at E3.

This week on his blog, David Jaffe – the series’ co-creator – posted a screenshot that seemed to discuss the development of a game involving vehicles. It lists some things Jaffe “would like to see … [by?] the milestone,” which some have taken to mean a deadline before E3 so the title can be unveiled there. Read more…

According to “sources close to the game”, the upcoming Batman: Arkham Asylum has been pushed back from its planned June release date to sometime later in the year.

Speaking with Game Informer, the sources reckon the game will instead ship in the “fourth quarter of 2009″. Apparently neither of the game’s co-publishers, Eidos or Warner Bros., were willing to comment, which is interesting.

If this rumour turns out to, it’s a strange decision. The game is awfully close to release, to the point where demos have been playable at GameStop stores across the US, so to delay it so late in the game begs the question: have Square, who recently finalised their takeover of Eidos, had a say in the delay, even though they’re not publishing?

We’ve contacted Eidos for comment, will update when/if we hear back from them.

Bankrupt Midway may have a financial savior in Warner Bros., as the media giant—which happens to have a game division in Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment—is reported to be readying a bid for the ailing publisher.

According to a report from MCV, Warner Bros. is “keen to acquire Midway’s flagship Mortal Kombat and Stranglehold franchises” as well as casual fare like the Touchmaster series and legacy intellectual property that the company has squandered over the past decade. As WBIE co-published Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe with Midway, it could certainly make a sequel to that million-seller much easier to get out the door if the media conglomerate owns all properties involved.

We named Warner Bros. as one of three companies looking at a buyout of Midway earlier this month.

According to MCV’s source, Midway is aiming to sell the company for the agreed upon $30 million price tag, which would presumably please creditors and the nearly-30 employees who would benefit under a “key employee incentive program.”

MCV’s take on the matter is that Warner Bros. may opt to sell off select franchises and studios. No word on whether the company is actively seeking to keep the Mortal Kombat team on board, a studio that may be looking for a new home on its own.

That same unnamed source cautions that “The deal isn’t done yet. Midway is still open to offers from other potential buyers – but Warner looks to be favourite to wrap it up.”

Whether Warner Bros. ultimately feels like being embroiled in the legal… unpleasantness the company is currently experiencing remains to be seen.
