David Jaffe pre-announces tomorrow's announcement

by Justin McElroy on Jul 26th 2007 6:29PM

Despite some ... unfortunate occurrences in the past, we still like David Jaffe. So it should come as no surprise that we're curious about the announcement he's pre-announced for tomorrow. He notably makes efforts to downplay the scope of the news, saying that it's something that means a lot to him personally; however, if you're the sort who doesn't really care how much time Jaffe does or doesn't spend in Utah, he said there will also be a smidgen of game-related news in the 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.

Wow, someone woke-up on the wrong side of the bed today.

"sorry to disappoint"

Since when does sony disappoint?

lol

"since when does sony disappoint"

really? ......... really?

have you been conscious any time over the last year? i have a question to ask of you: what is a really really good game thats out now on the playstation 3 that launched 9 months ago?

PS: jaffe's a pompous emo bitch.

Sarcasm...heard of it?

i'm hoping that was sarcastic jimy lol

David Jaffe is EMO.

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?

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.

+ 1

i bet it's a new PSN game.

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.

Oh good, no nuclear bombs tomorrow.

a lot is two words.

That clown(d) looks absolutely nothing like Sweet-Tooth

I was wondering if I was just seeing things.

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.

But but..... Micheal Bay's movies have splosions! And...um...shit, you're right.

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.

Probably Calling All Cars 2. In other words, no one really cares.

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.

As long as there are about breasts in his new announcement like in God of War, then we should care.

Where can I get that picture for a PS3 wallpaper?

Clowns freak me out.

It kinda looks like Mickey Mouse getting a BJ...perhaps by David Jaffe?

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.

How are the posters at Kotaku racist? What do they say?

I don't visit that site.

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.

It took me too long to see the clown in the mushroom. I must get out too much...

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 ;]

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...

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.
