Who is this Jaffe person, what he has to do with Retro, and why is he questioning banana peels?

David Jaffe basically created the Twisted Metal series, and he was the director of the first God of War. He has since left Sony, creating his own studio Eat Sleep Play which is working on PSN titles like Calling All Cars, in addition to a few other PlayStation projects.


 He also made Mickey Mania on the SNES (Yes the one with Mickey Mouse.)

Not a bad start... but not really anywhere near a good enough  resume to say he's one of the two best game developers in the world. 

A few more hits... and something in his games that actually change the way videogames are played, and then you can start putting him on a list of the best develoers.

I mean as good as the God of War series is... if it didn't come out would games in that genre be any different today?



I don't know who is responsible for the miscommunication (or that there even was one) but I don't think Jaffe got the point and likely wouldn't have even if it was conveyed properly.

Everything I've heard/read about Miyamoto makes me think that he was genuinely looking at the mechanics of the game and asking the question not as a means to ridicule but as part of his design process where he looks at the basic concept for what it is.

On the other hand Jaffe has pretty much always been an elitist prick who simply doesn't care what others think of him. Its just his style and it has worked for him thus far. I point this out because I don't think it would matter to Jaffe if the quote was in or out of context, he would have said the same thing either way. I pretty much expect him to lash out at any comment about his games that isn't a blatant praise.....but for a lot of people thats part of his charm.

In truth there is nothing to see here. Its pretty much par for the course on both counts, Miyamoto says something deep yet cryptic and Jaffe gives a chuckle and lashes out. Really I don't care if they become pen pals or butt buddies, so long as they both keep making games for me to play



To Each Man, Responsibility

You gotta respect Jaffe. He is his own man. What makes him what he is today is his mental makeup. Who cares if hes outlandish? As long as he speaks his mind and isnt trying to butter us up like some cowardly bitch hes cool in my book.

I would love to work for Jaffe, he is definatly a leader and not a follower.



I am WEEzY. You can suck my Nintendo loving BALLS!

I don't even think the man himself would say that, despite his massive ego.

ohh come on guys , he was just making a joke ..  (and if anyone had watched the video response he gave , you would have known)

and you really are mocking PS3-owners as being touchy ?



Lafiel, ps3 owners are the touchiest. Just look at crazzyman. Sadly he represent's the ps3 fan.

Sony fans cant stand not being in firstplace and they hate Nintendo for kicking ass this gen.

You know, if I was a troll, this topic is like the the golden land.

Anyway, he apologized. That's good.

Still not a fan. However, I will not flame the man over this incident from this point forward.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

I'm sick of seeing this quote already because he is (obviously) using a Miyamoto quote out of context in order to prove some childish point ...

If you're trying to do something serious or realistic with a car combat game the question "Why would you put a gun on a car?" should come up. At the same time, when he was inventing the kart racing genre Miyamoto probably added combat because he wanted to make the game different from a standard racing game.

Personally, this only makes me respect David Jaffe far less ...


Realistic car combat games?  Car combat games by their very nature aren't meant to be realistic and especially not the Twisted Metal games that Jaffe makes.



well miyamoto probably doesnt know that twisted metals exist and he probably doesnt even know who jaffe is
