Twisted Metal

David Jaffe without doubt a unique character. After you have created one of the best action series in history and a "powerful" as Kratos, decided to get in and take a dip in the past and resurrect as a Phoenix the Twisted Metal series.

In recent months, even years, you did hear from his fans with high-sounding declarations, but also with discussions with controversy other distinguished representatives of industry, not least the great Cliff Bleszinki.

Spend ten minutes with Jaffe sometimes amounts to a full day. Those interviewed can confirm that it is a river in flood, a person who, whether stirred properly, certain things will not send some to say.

At the same time, the good David does not pull back when it comes to talk of his future plans, and sometimes one question is rewarded with a response that comprehensive pi ... often too. He likes talking to freewheel, taking seemingly abstruse directions back to bomb the Central speech. In short, with him not bored!

The last crusade saw as its "target" by none other than the President of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata, who during his Keynote at GDC you lashed out at Apple and his Store, that would be literally killing the industry with a policy of prices downward.

"No one can give a price to the fun," said Jaffe. "To me it doesn't matter if a game costs a few cents or several dozens or even thousands, of dollars. Not possible to quantify a thing, absolutely absurd. "

His speech is true for any type of game, from small independent and ambitious and gigantic project pi. Obviously his new Twisted Metal for PS3 not excluded, as initially supposed to be a downloadable title from PSN only, but is then turned into a "normal" game that had full-price stores like hundreds of others.

His new company, Eat Sleep Play, was encouraged by the same Sony to make a leap like that but Jaffe aware that with the rise in prices, also risks go hand in hand. A title from euro 60/70 must be truly exceptional to convince millions of people buying while a game can be downloaded in less than a euro can afford to sleep more soundly.

Twisted Metal, despite the great success obtained on PS2, PS one and should still get busy to impose to the attention of the general public, now accustomed to levels much more high quality that in the past. As if that weren't enough, his exit slated during pi crowded and critic of the year, one of the Christmas holidays.

Of course, absolutely not, Jaffe frightened by the prospect, indeed ... as this will enhance challenges like never before. "We love Twisted Metal and we love the competition and we are working to make this series to new generations," said recently.
