In 2007, God of War director David Jaffe took a gigantic leap into the unknown with the surprise announcement that he would be cutting ties with Sony Computer Entertainment after nearly 15 years to form his own, independent studio, Eat Sleep Play. His first project? A Sony-published PlayStation 2 port of his PlayStation Portable launch title Twisted Metal: Head On.

This week, Jaffe has laid out on Sony's official PlayStation Blog what he hopes will provide a heavy-enough incentive to draw crowds to his studio's first budget title. As previously noted, Twisted Metal: Head On-Extra Twisted Edition will feature revamped textures and art, as well as run at 60fps and include a brand new level, plus four levels that were originally intended for 2001's Twisted Metal: Black.
Extra Twisted Edition will also include the Twisted Metal soundtrack, a concept art book, a mode featuring Twisted Metal's iconic clown Sweet Tooth, and a set of live-action movies Jaffe initially created in 1995 for the original Twisted Metal. According to Jaffe, Twisted Metal: Head On-Extra Twisted Edition will park it at retail in February for $19.95.
The first original project from Jaffe's new studio is currently slated to arrive later this year, though no details on the title have emerged.
