[Update] David Jaffe has stormed his own Twitter account to clarify the matter of his leaving Eat Sleep Play, posting numerous updates via multiple tweets. Get them all below. [End of Update]
In an interview with the Salt Lake City Tribune, Eat Sleep Play co-founder Scott Campbell has revealed that the company’s other co-founder (and long time development partner) David Jaffe is to leave the studio on completion of Twisted Metal.
Campbell said of Jaffe’s future plans:
“He’s excited to go into the casual space as well. He’s got some projects that he’s excited about. So we’re kind of going down two separate paths.”
Last week we mentioned reports of a delay for Twisted Metal in Europe and associated regions, with a chance of content cuts being made to Eat Sleep Play’s explosive car combat game.
Head of the project David Jaffe has unfortunately confirmed the news and a new release date for Twisted Metal in Europe, simply stating on Twitter:
Reports doing the rounds this morning indicate that the release of Twisted Metal in Europe and related regions may have been delayed into March.
Late last year, Eat Sleep Play’s David Jaffe wrote a heartfelt post post on the official PlayStation blogs announcing the unfortunate delay of the studio’s Twisted Metal.
The game was originally meant to release in October 2011, but the team felt it was necessary to put in an extra few months of work to create the game fans of the series truly deserved.
In what will be a bit of a blow for those of us looking forward to the next big entry in the brutal vehicle combat game series, Twisted Metal, co-founder of developer Eat Sleep Play (and game development luminary) David Jaffe has just announced that the studio’s Twisted Metal for PlayStation 3 has been delayed into 2012, past its original early October release.
Twisted Metal fans, your moment has come – the latest and greatest iteration of the vehicular action game from series originators David Jaffe and Scott Campbell (not the Double Fine one) and developer Eat Sleep Play has just received an official October release date… with a pretty disturbing new trailer to accompany the news.
To mark the 10th anniversary of the PlayStation 2 in North America, the US PlayStation Blog went around and asked a few recognised, legendary and celebrated game developers (as well as games press people) to name their top three favourite PlayStation 2 games of all time:
“Word quickly spread,” writes Sid Shuman on the blog, “the project swelled in scope, and the result is what you see here — a definitive list of ‘must-play’ PS2 games by some of the greatest living game developers in the business.”
27 folks made the list, which includes the likes of Warren Spector, Ken Levine, David Jaffe, Tim Schafer and Cliff Bleszinski.
Out of the 27, however, I couldn’t help but notice that there’s only one woman represented in the bunch – Double Fine’s Tasha Harris. Just sayin’ Sony.
You can find the full list of developers and their favourite PS2 games below:
During Sony’s E3 2010 press conference, right at the end of the briefing, right there on stage, David Jaffe (Twisted Metal, God of War) arrived on stage alongside his business partner Scott Campbell to announce the next game he’s currently working on at his studio Eat Sleep Play.
The game? Why, Twisted Metal for PS3, of course.
This despite Jaffe’s prior claims that, not only would he not even be at E3, but in a Twitter posting, he suggested that he wasn’t working on a new Twisted Metal title.
Speaking with Joystiq, however, Jaffe says that it was necessary to “misdirect” readers of his Twitter account, and to make industry watchers think that he wasn’t working on a new Twisted Metal game, in order to try and bring back a key element of the annual E3 experience – surprise:
Wow. Twisted Metal.
After David Jaffe Lied Through His Tweets™ about not being involved with the next edition of Twisted Metal on PS3, many industry watchers were thrown for a loop. Where would the next chaotic vehicle-based combat game come from, if not from the originator of the series?
At the end of Sony’s E3 2010 press conference, however, we discovered that Jaffe and his co-founded studio Eat Sleep Play were indeed working on the next Twisted Metal, after a raucous on-stage appearance set in motion a first ever worldwide reveal (you can watch the mania of that event a little further down).
Below, you can watch an interview with Eat Sleep Play co-founders David Jaffe and Scott Campbell as they talk about the new Twisted Metal, what their goals for the game are, and other current and trending industry topics:
[Update] Added insane gameplay footage from Twisted Metal below. [End of Update]
David Jaffe has just announced a new Twisted Metal vehicular combat game for the PS3, during Sony’s E3 press event.
Head on down below for all the information straight from Jaffe himself, as well as the debut announcement trailer and first screenshots:
For the longest time, it’s been rumoured and speculated that former Sony game designer David Jaffe, he of God of War fame, was working on a full, high definition, next generation version of the explosive car wrecking and racing game, Twisted Metal.
It made sense as Jaffe is the creator of the series after all, and leaked information from his home studio (as he works with Eat Sleep Play in Utah) revealed that he’s currently working on a game that includes cars and action of some sort.
Now, however, Jaffe has finally put these rumours to bed, posting on his Twitter account that he is in fact not working on a Twister Metal game, despite previously being coy about the subject. From the tweet:
