David Jaffe pre-announces tomorrow's announcement

Some have speculated that Jaffe is working on a new Twisted Metal title, fueled by the notorious "clownsplosion" PS3 ad. Though the timing of this upcoming announcement would seem to lend credibility to that, Jaffe seems to be hinting that it's a non-starter, saying "Just FYI, the game alot of you guys seems to think we are working on, we are not. Sorry to dissapoint :(." We'll let you know Jaffe's actual status when he starts spilling beans tomorrow.

David Jaffe is EMO.
TheGuy @ Jul 26th 2007 6:44PM
I won't believe he isn't working on a new Twisted Metal until I hear the announcement tomorrow. Even if he denies it, it doesn't mean the game still isn't in development, either by him in secret or by another team. COME ON SONY, GIVE US A NEW TWISTED METAL. YOU KNOW WE WANT IT, SO JUST GIVE IT TO US ALREADY!!!!!!

Utah? Is it some Mormon game?
waynski1457 @ Jul 26th 2007 6:46PM
it sounds like to me that it IS the new twisted metal and the game they're not working on is god of war 3.

i bet it's a new PSN game.
eldee @ Jul 26th 2007 6:47PM
None of the announced or existing games have made me want a PS3, but twisted metal would... damn that game was so much fun back in the day.
Derka @ Jul 26th 2007 6:56PM
Oh good, no nuclear bombs tomorrow.
sean @ Jul 26th 2007 6:59PM
a lot is two words.

That clown(d) looks absolutely nothing like Sweet-Tooth
Kye @ Jul 27th 2007 6:56AM
I was wondering if I was just seeing things.
OrganicShadow @ Jul 27th 2007 9:57AM
I bet he resurrected his PSP game to make us cry, and it going to put it on the PSN. Either that or just a brand new IP like Calling All Cars, and on the PSN and/or PSP.
Either way I don't think it's GoW3 or TM.

David Jaffe is the Michael Bay of video games. That is to say, he is a useless pile of shit.
Avatar @ Jul 26th 2007 7:53PM
But but..... Micheal Bay's movies have splosions! And...um...shit, you're right.
Vidikron @ Jul 27th 2007 3:46AM
You're an idiot. Twisted Metal and God of War speak for themselves. Maybe you find the guy annoying or whatever, but you have to have your head up your ass to deny he has made some utterly fantastic games.
Martez @ Jul 26th 2007 7:59PM
Probably Calling All Cars 2. In other words, no one really cares.
Martez @ Jul 26th 2007 8:05PM
Also, regarding that clownsplosion image:
http://ps3.ign.com/articles/805/805953p1.html
"When reached by phone this morning, Taroux said the image was one of many from a general Sony campaign.
"The idea of a clown is not linked to one game," he said. "It's an explosion of fun." "
Wow. An explosion of fun.
Zaki @ Jul 26th 2007 8:11PM
As long as there are about breasts in his new announcement like in God of War, then we should care.
Freelance @ Jul 26th 2007 8:18PM
Where can I get that picture for a PS3 wallpaper?
Rare Hare @ Jul 26th 2007 8:23PM
Clowns freak me out.
Jypson @ Jul 26th 2007 8:42PM
It kinda looks like Mickey Mouse getting a BJ...perhaps by David Jaffe?
Word of the street. @ Jul 26th 2007 10:04PM
IMO Jaffe is still a good developer but Jeez what he said about Kotaku kicking Joystiq out buisness is not only harsh but stupid,I mean how he dares to insult the media.Yet I cant wait for his next game for the PSP :D!
BTW whats with the clown picture,I dont get it.
I'm going to take this opportunity to reafirm my hate towards Kotaku,You fucking ashcraft you can suck my Shak fu.!.Kotaku staff and posters are a bounch of racist,EMO,Gay retards.
Drop an give me 20 @ Jul 26th 2007 10:29PM
How are the posters at Kotaku racist? What do they say?
I don't visit that site.
JonnyBoy2U @ Jul 26th 2007 10:31PM
Your a bigot since you seem incapable of using "gay" to describe something you don't like.
It amazing how base and uncouth some of the people on this website are.
And speaking as a black man there are just as many racists on this website and a whole lot more sexists people here as well.
LordMinogue @ Jul 26th 2007 10:58PM
It took me too long to see the clown in the mushroom. I must get out too much...
Serge @ Jul 27th 2007 12:23AM
The explosion looks like a clown, if u look closely you will see the face, the nous nd the hear on the sides
and the eyes ;]
The Alex @ Jul 27th 2007 4:13AM
Maybe he'll announce he's leaving the gaming industry to pursue something he's actually good at and we'll never have to hear from him again...
Tony @ Jul 27th 2007 11:29AM
From what I understood, the guy barely even worked with the team on God of War 2 whatsoever and it wound up being better than the first one. The guy clearly has some good ideas and been involved with some decent games, but he's definitely been put up on a pedestal for reasons I don't quite understand. As of late, he's basically been turned into a PR figurehead for his studio and Sony as a whole... it's kind of hard to want to pay much attention to him.
