Inside David Jaffe's Heartland

5
Game designers come up with ideas every day. Lots of ideas. Sometimes those ideas get pitched. Sometimes those pitches go into pre-production. Sometimes they become full-fledged projects. And sometimes those projects ship. But what most gamers don't realize is that some games get canceled. And every great developer can tell you the story of a project that never saw the light of day.

This is the story of one such phantom title: David Jaffe's Heartland.

Its to bad HeartLand never came out. I would have loved to seen how this game would have worked on the PSP. Well may be some day Jaffe will get back to this game or make some thing like it for PSN.

Yeah I agree, the game may have been really good, but I don't know if they will let him go with China as the enemy, seems like a big risk if Sony is publishing, but the paragraph about making choices like burning the family or not seems like an amazing concept.

I would love to see this game hit the market eventually. I loved God of War and a game like Heartland from the sounds of it, i would deeply enjoy. I'm a big fan of Jaffe and Deus Ex is my second favorite video game of all time. You put both of them together and add in a deep moving story and i would love to see it come out.

4 - The game was to have a strong and timely political message, too. Says Jaffe: "It wasn't supposed to make you hate the Bush Administration so much as, as a layperson political junkie, it was supposed to put into light - using games as a medium - all the things I didn't like about the Bush Administration."
... I'm sorry... I must have stumbled into the political board by mistake...

I'm all for freedom of expression, but I don't buy games to listen to people b*tch about the president. Yes, you don't like him... I understand... and while I accept your opinion, I don't care about it. Just shut up and make a god **** game I want to play!!!
