A day before David Jaffe announced his departure from Sony, GameTrailers caught the man himself, lunching amongst the population of Comic-Con. Spilling the beans and laying out the general plan, Jaffe is real excited about his new company, Eat Sleep Play, but less so about the name. Sure, Eat Sleep Play sounds like something you'd see on a free promo shirt, but the man himself has the right idea saying, "The games [will] eventually define the name versus the name defining the company." Seriously, what the heck is a Psygnosis anyway?
Those defining games will be on the accessible, more arcade-style front as Jaffe points out that a game like Calling All Cars would be the smallest in terms of scope they would tackle. While Eat Sleep Play has partnered up with Sony for a multi-game deal, Jaffe describes his relationship with Kratos and the God of War franchise as "severed," though he says he'd be honored if they asked for his input on a sequel.
Glad to hear the Twisted metal game is not part of the 3 game deal with Sony...but PSN titles?..dude...Well i guess thats good for people who like those arcade/smallscale/indie games, but its a shame he can't pull out any more blockbusters.
Well Sony, it looks like you have to find someone as good as Jaffe to do a GOW3.
GOW2 was not done by Jaffe and it was good he even references they guy that did in that interview. Should be interesting to see what they bring out though they have some potential.
How about a moratorium on Jaffe coverage until he ships somethign decent? He is not the god of gaming, no matter what he thinks, and his blather and self promotion got real old a long time ago.
I was about to ask why the video got an age verification but the ending left that clear.
Well while I'm unhappy about another PSP game being ported the fact the man is releasing God of war for the PSP kind of makes e happy but I have this feeling, wait no...I'm sure God of war PSP will be ported to the PS2.Whats going on?, is Sony trying to give the Ps2 more juice or developers are trying to make more money by porting games and screw their fans or maybe both.
Well I have here 5 cents that say the man will do a God of war 3 or a PS2 port of the PSP game at least, I mean if his company is really going to develop games of the size between Calling all cars and God of war I don’t think the fans or the critics will be very happy. He cant just simply call anyone who doesn’t like his games “****ing Shaq Fu“can he?. Just kidding but I want that Next-Gen Twisted Metal now!
BTW Capcom has a meaning "Japan Capsule Computers" not very explicit tho'.
I'd rather to David E. Stone of MIT. He's going to use the wiimote to train Orkin and medical facilities etc. He's even planning on curing cancer. Ha wiimote will beat PS3 folding@home to cure cancer.
When I graduated from high school in 1990, I spent a good chunk of my graduation money on an Amiga 500. Psygnosis was the company you knelt before back in that day and age. Later on they proved their pedigree with G-Police and Colony Wars. Sweet monkey jesus, Psygnosis was freaking awesome back in the day!!!
