Rumor: Jaffe Tease Means Twisted Metal at E3?
David Jaffe's already said Twisted Metal is coming to PS3. And sure, lots of games involve cars and humans. But a sloppily posted screenshot of an email may tease the game's unveiling at E3. More »

God Of War Creator Says God Of War III Is "HOLY HOLY HOLY FUCKING HELL!!!!"
David Jaffe doesn't really have squat to do with the God of War series these days. Still. Didn't stop him from getting to take a look at the in-development God of War III last week. His thoughts? Predictably expletive-laden, but the gist is, dude reckons it looks better than the very-good-looking Gears of War 2: More »

A Good, Long Look At The God Of War Copyright Claims
To recap: a couple of people are suing both David Jaffe and SCEA over God of War, claiming the game's storyline is, in several places, a little too close to their movie script for comfort. How close? Boing Boing Gadget's Rob Bechizza takes a good look at the individual claims, which range from similarities between God of War's map and that drawn up for the Olympiad screenplay to the difference between a Bottomless Chasm and a Bottomless Valley. Basically, some of the points look valid, some complete garbage, you can make up your own mind by checking out the full breakdown at the link below. More »

Sony, David Jaffe Sued Over God of War Copyright Infringement
GamePolitics is reporting that Sony Computer Entertainment America and designer David Jaffe have been named in a lawsuit over copyright infringement claims pertaining to God of War. Creators Jonathan Bissoon-Dath and Jennifer Barrette-Herzog allege that SCEA and Jaffe's work on the PlayStation 2 game has far too many similarities to both The Adventures of Own: Owen's Olympic Adventure and the screenplay Olympiad.

David Jaffe: I Am Not Sexist Because I Want To Bone Sarah Palin
You know David Jaffe, right? He might've made some video games — we have some vague recollection of that — but he's mainly known now for his mouthing off. Apparently, Jaffe's public online assessment of one of our nation's vice presidential candidates got some attention, mainly from site GamePolitics.com, who gave Jaffe a bit of a hypertext-lashing. Jaffe's back, not making video games again, and defending his assessment of Alaska governor Sarah Palin's fuckability. Too bad we'll likely never see Jaffe's Homeland, because it's clear the man is passionate about his politics.

Twisted Metal Arcade Game Was Once Planned
Buried within the latest blog update from God of War and Twisted Metal producer David Jaffe is mention that at one point, someone, somewhere thought a Twisted Metal arcade game was a good idea and that there were hazy plans for Midway and Sony to collaborate on such a product. While that obviously never bore fruit — and more than likely never, ever will — to know that vehicular combat could have come to a Midway arcade cabinet is morbidly fascinating. More »

Rein, Bleszinski, Dyack, Jaffe, Molyneux - STFU!
Every year E3 comes and goes and we wind up with the same people being quoted over and over again. Is it because we respect their position in the games industry, or is it simply because they won't stop flapping their gums for five minutes to let anyone else get a word in? Crispy Gamer has gathered the most obnoxiously vociferous members of the gaming business together into a little feature they call "The 10 People We Hope Will Shut the F*** Up at This Year's E3". I'm not sure whether I agree with their choices or not...not because they are dubious or anything...it's just I'm not sure which of these guys I could take in a fight, and E3 is next week. Nintendo's Reggie has those crazy eyes going for him, and Clifford "The Big Red" Bleszinski could easily be hiding Wolverine-like scrappiness under his cool, collected demeanor. Peter Moore is chiseled from granite...hmmm. I bet I could take the founders of Gamecock, but only by exploiting their penchant for wearing capes. More »

Kratos Was Originally Dominus, Twisted Metal Originally More Awesome
Nestled gently at the bottom of one of his most recent blog posts, David Jaffe has spoken a little on a topic that I've always found interesting as hell: the previous/working titles of some of his games. Something about how a different name can alter your entire perception of a title...anyways. Some of them are really interesting! Like the fact one of God of War's possible names was Ω. Just the symbol. And the fact Kratos was for a long time going to be called the much-cheesier (especially with ham and pineapple) Dominus. And that one of Twisted Metal's original names was the brilliantly evocative Cars and Rockets, which Jaffe said "nobody else" liked. Nobody? Oh Sony. More »

A Duo Of Twisted Metal Head On: Extra Twisted Edition Clips
While we weren't so excited about Twisted Metal Head On: Extra Twisted (Extra Long Name) Edition for PS2 when it was announced—despite our love for the series, we'd played the game once before—we can't help but to get a little excited when watching clips of the new version in motion. They makes us wonder why we ever put down the PSP version in the first place, a game that was closer to the heart of the fanboy-acclaimed Twisted Metal 2 than any other in the franchise. Enjoy this look at Moscow and a peak at Egypt after the jump. More »

The man behind vehicular shooter Twisted Metal, David Jaffe, recently fired back with with a nigh perfect response to Shigeru Miyamoto's question "Why would you make that? Why would you put a gun on a car?" His interview with Wired's Game|Life, well, it got the internet—alright, a handful of commenters and message board pitchfork wielders—into a bit of a tizzy. But the man loves Nintendo. Maybe not on teething with a GameCube controller levels, but just because he's got a suitable response doesn't mean he's not a fan. More »

Jaffe tells GamePro that the follow-up is "absolutely revealed" in the forthcoming PlayStation 2 port, but that details are "hidden really, really, really well."

We're getting the popcorn.It's a decent ad I think. I just don't get HALO. I don't think the story is all that special, don't think the world or characters matter much. I don't know if I am simply not 'getting it' and it really is all that...or Microsoft has simply purchased rabid fan reactions for what is a great game but nothing more.

It will be a PSP title with better graphics and plenty of extras (on top of the documentary that's been announced). From Jaffe himself:...it seems like we're gonna get some great fan videos coming in, so that- along with tons of old concept art, toys, video, and other behind the scenes stuff we've uncovered- should make for a good package!
