A brief overview (by David Jaffe) of his plans after detaching from Sony. New projects revealed and Jaffe's thoughts on the future of his career.

[ps360]

he can make it

[Phantom_Lee]

he will be fine~
I wonder what game he is going to make for the PS3/PSN...and when I said "I wonder" I mean I want a new Twisted Metal Black...there~ I say it..

[ps360]

twisted metal that good. i mean its just cars blowing up other cars.

[Phantom_Lee]

sometimes the most simple games can be really fun~ car combat is one of them....and I like Black because I really enjoyed the story...

I can not say for sure you will like...you have to try it yourself...thats just the way it is..

[PS360PCROCKS]

Twisted Metal has always been one my favorites like Mortal Kombat it was my PS1 days haha...

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Twisted Metal 2 is one of the greatest games ever made. Even when compared to the next-gen games, the gameplay and pure fun factor of TM2 makes it a must play. You will not see a car action game compare to the this, not even twisted 3 or 4 or black can touch twisted metal 2.
PS360 above: In my opinion MK 2 was also the best of the series blowing away 3 and 3 ultimate. Only now are they catching back up to the glory of MK2
Me and my niggers be keepin it real in the dirty south!

[drtysouf21]

Still waiting for that address. I'm flattered you devote so much time to me. Proves me right again and again.

[Kleptic]

like mentioned above...TM 2 is one of the best ever...3 and 4 were not made by Jaffe/singletrac however...and it really showed...the games took a totally different concept on the physics...they tried to make it more realistic or something...and TM 3 and 4 ended up being terrible on nearly every level...

once Incognito took up control again of the franchise...things returned to being great...TM: Black is one of the best PS2 games ever made...and Head On for the PSP was equally awesome, although returned to continue the story of 1 and 2 (black had nothing to do with the orginal 2, but used some of the same characters)...

I will defintely be buying this port of Head on...Black Part II or whatever is enough of a reason for me in the first place...but, just like this Wipout HD thing, I really want a full blown PS3 built from the ground up...that would be a long way away...but if/when it does happen, would be awesome...

Twisted Metal 1, 2, and Black are still untouchable to this day on offline multiplayer imo...Right up there with Goldeney back the in day...I could spend 36 hours of straight TM 2 non stop with a friend of mine...on a regular basis...while Halo and Quake III for the DC were also really really fun offline multiplayer games...pretty much nothing else comes close...

its wierd though that the first game I have ever played that could potentially be more fun offline (and online for that matter, but TM 1 and 2 never had that...and barely anyone ever played Black: Online) is Warhawk...which is made by Incognito, and a lot of the guys that did the original TM's...

[nomad117]

then full auto 2 i expect a great game like the first but it sucked hope the 3rd installment will be better like he said car combat is crazy fun

[PS360PCROCKS]

Who is going to make God Of War than!? I hope the 3rd installment is just as good once he is gone...

[Phantom_Lee]

I wouldn't worry too much about God of War 3....since the 2nd one was made by other guy(Cory Barlog I think )...even though Jeff was involved with the project...but the role is not as big as the first GOD

[PS360PCROCKS]

good!

[ps360]

he should be thinking on GOW3. its one of his best franchises

[ps360]

what made him think of leaving if he is still staying to sony

[Phantom_Lee]

he said it in the GT interview....Money...he/they(t he crew) was hoping that maybe years down the road...a company wants to buy them with a huge amount of money so they get a bigger house and shining new sports car....

wouldn't it be funny if Sony buy them back? I would laugh if that happens~

[jax07]

Whats with the name man?

[ArduousAndy]

yell at joystiq for there review of call all cars as well as them lying about his leaving sony?

[Tesla]

TM3 was bad. But, Vigilante 8 was always, in my opinion, better than TM series. Anyone played it?

[crippler666]

I liked both series, but Vigilante 8 was a better play. Never really played it multi player though.

[ShiftyLookingCow]

wow no trolls, something is working right

[ShiftyLookingCow]

I recant

[SlaughterMeister]

Everyone is leaving the video game industry lately, what's with this?

[mcgrawgamer]

You have to admire Jaffe as a game developer, as a person who speaks the truth, and at the end of the day you have to admire someone who stands up for what he believes in.

[Shaka2K6]

He said in his blog he just signed a contract with Sony to make 3 exclusive tittles for them, not including TM-Head On for PS2, the fu**ing man isnt going anywhere kids, he is staying with Sony for a long time.

[ps360]

this is my second best submission

[timmyp53]

with god of 3 like kojima w/ MGS:4
Edit:
yea cory barlog will do GOW3

[Loudninja]

But he is making 4 games for the Sony platforms

[Mandangoof]

SCEA announced this, they wouldn't announce a 3rd party dev which would create games for other platforms. He's still very much synonymous with SOny.

[UnDone14]

should be a PS3 sequel to Twisted Metal.

What would be a dream come true would be if they took the levels from TM 1, 2 and Black and remade them as multi-player maps and/or maybe even single player levels.

Just imagine the Suburban level from Twisted Metal 1 remade and the geometry of the maps were actually realistic so the cars wouldn't be as big as the houses? That would be sick!

That for me would make a PS3 purchase even MORE worth it! (I'm getting one this fall regardless.)
