Eat Sleep Play Drops "Sweet" Hint at AAA PS3 Title

PSLS:

If you are even remotely interested in the PlayStation 3, then you've likely been looking forward to David Jaffe's next game. The eccentric creator is responsible two franchises synonymous with PlayStation consoles, Twisted Metal and God of War. He has long been hard at work on the first retail PS3 game from his new studio, Eat Sleep Play. Through his blog, Jaffe has been throwing his fans curve-balls; seemingly hinting at a new Twisted Metal game, and other times scoffs at any assumptions. We have uncovered what may be a "sweet" hint from Eat Sleep Play's Production Artist.

How do they know its triple A yet if it hasn't been reviewed?

[iPad]

Because it's being developed by David Jaffe.

[n4gn4gn4gn4g]

the same guy that gave us Calling all Cars.

[Digitaldude]

"In the video game industry, AAA game is an informal description for a video game that has a high budget."

[Satan The Gamer]

Because its not on the 360

[Foliage]

I've worked for a Game Publisher the last 4 years. I still find it hilarious that some people think AAA has anything to do with reviews.

Here's a hint: AAA titles have nothing at all to do with reviews, in fact a AAA title can be deemed as such even before production begins.

Stop using sayings and terms that you do not understand.

[SOAD]

Mountains out of molehills. Well, I'm off to buy groceries. Sweet!

[n4gn4gn4gn4g]

HHG has infiltrated their site.

[presto717]

[erathaol]

I just want to see Grim and his Motorcycle in wonderful HD detail.

:)

[DarkTower805]

If anyone's seen the 5th episode of The Tester, one of the questions is what vehicle does Sweet Tooth drive. Maybe another mountain out of a molehill, but I thought that the timing was interesting on that.

[Blaze929]

That term will soon loose all meaning. What's AAA to a developer/creator could be CCC aka Average in our eyes.

[Bereaver]

Did anyone else notice this?

January 2009 — Present (1 year 3 months)

Concept, Texture, Storyboard artist on unannounced AAA PS3 Title..

Sweet!

//////January 2009? I mean yeah, it doesn't change the fact that it could be twisted metal, but..... damn, that's old.

[JasonXE]

it already has started loosing money. AAA used to me games with enormous budgets and rest assured, after Calling all Cars Jaffe is not working with an enormous budget.

[bruddahmanmatt]

This is seriously starting to get annoying and is beginning to border on lame. If they don't show anything by E3 I officially don't give a flip anymore. I have faith in Jaffe and his crew when it comes to making great games but that don't mean a damn thing if it never sees the light of day. Quit attention whoring with all these weak sauce rumors and release something concrete before no one gives a **** anymore.

[Syronicus]

If Jaffe is working on another Twisted Metal game, you can bet your bottom dollar that Sony has given him an unlimited budget. It's a make it franchise for the Sony console and they would not pass it up especially to have the original dev making it. If you want to define AAA, then just look at the support Sony offers to the devs making games for their biggest franchises.

[vhero]

wait he said sweet and you think he making a new twisted metal?? Talk about blowing something out of proportion!

[sikbeta]

I don't give a Damn, I just want Twisted Metal PS3, like it or not Jaffe knows best and if This Game IS TM, it'll be EPIC

[zeeshan]

^ I could smell poop somewhere here and I was beginning to wonder who did it! Shoooo!!! sshoooo... away with you! Be gone... VANISH even!

[MmaFanQc]

Your Tears Are Delicious!!!

[barom]

PSLS sucks! They have not released any true news in a LONG time. If they do release news they do it in a rush as in the case of GT TV. They are the very reason why gaming journalism has died, getting there first is all that matters regardless of the quality of the content delivered.

[Bnet343]

I saw the Bonus Round today with Jaffe in it and he said they are working on an action game. It was Episode 3 of the Bonus Round.

[xTruthx]

Yeah I saw that 2

[xTruthx]

Kigmal apparently what we saw was a lie cus some 1 disagreed with us lol

[Bnet343]

That's why I said what episode it was, so people can got to the website and watch it themselves if they thought I was lying. I don't care about agrees or disagrees. I've been saying this forever, it doesn't hide your comment or make it grey like joystiq and youtube does, so why does it really matter lol. Don't pay attention to it. :P

[MONOLITHICIDE]

i didnt disagree but twisted metal does have explosive action. Like theyre gonna say its a car combat game, thats a dead give away

[Doomsday]

Which is the website? The Sony website?

[xTruthx]

Its on Game Trailers, the last bonus round they did. Its part 3

[DoucheVader]

Jaffe has been dropping hints for a LONG time now.

Remember this? http://cache.kotaku.com/ass...

I am sure this is just more fodder to play into that. Who knows maybe it was a bluff the whole time, but honestly he would really disappoint some people at this point.

[T3mpr1x]

I remember that, wow that was 2007 too. I think that was too far back to mean anything significant now though...

[Theonik]

Yeah the tittle should have been "Jaffe drops hint for AAA game for the 10th time"

[Michael Myers]

A A A all the way, night and day, savage in the grey sky, to die tonight sweettooth give me a ps3 game right now

[Agheil]

I would love another twisted metal, especially now in HD

[Lirky]

Maybe sweet tooth will have his own action-game. That would be interesting a prequel to how he became sweet tooth then this leads to Twister Metal : ---- (Ps3)

[MONOLITHICIDE]

play the ps2 version of headon extra twisted edition and they have a sweettooth god of war type game that was in the works. From what i got from the experience is you break out of jail to get to your car(ice cream truck) break through the gates and then twisted metal starts. so i think they will do it with every character in the game. i cant wait to see what jaffe has cooking for twisted metal.

[FwanK]

What a waste of my time...

[Jedward-]

Cause like its on the trey like.

[JonnyBigBoss]

Well that just about solidifies which game they’re making.

[mrdxpr2]

cause david jaffe is making it that is all that is need to make it a certified AAA

[NJShadow]

Funny, I know AAA tends to refer to games which have enormous budgets, but either way, I've never been a big fan of the Twisted Metal series and never owned any of the games. They would have to do something incredibly impressive to get me to buy a future iteration.

[FragGen]

This. Twisted Metal series is hyper-overrated.

[boysenberry]

Twisted Metal in HD with online play would be SWEET!

[foreverflame]

Sony lacks originality all they do is bring lame ass franchises like twisted metal from grave since they have run outta of ideas,MS has brought us countless new ips like dead rising,geow,kameo,viva pianta...keep your twisted metal ps3 and shove it up your ass droids.

[n4gn4gn4gn4g]

road with this subtle blend of brashness and bullsh1t....its comedy gold.

[Digitaldude]

Lol MS brought us shooters and... viva pinata.
Sony brought us LBP,Heavy Rain, 3D dot heroes, TLG,GoW3,KZ2 all from different genres.

[manna]

lol wow dude..jst wow...i wont diss u cos i find ur ignorance and stupidity pitiful, i jst feel sad cos u actually and truly believe ur justified in wat u jst said, y dont u actually look something up b4 making random statements like tht...silly 360fanboys and their blind stupidity, gets on my nerves so much......

[ghamdikh3]

NO GAMES TO PLAY LOL.

ONLY GAYLO GAMES AND PEW PEW PEW GAMES LOL.

[MONOLITHICIDE]

cant believe someone would post such nonsense. sad

[dkgshiz]

That game was terribly average and lame.

[happy_gilmore]

.

[MONOLITHICIDE]

its already out, well at least in the us ps home. its sweet tooths suit and mr. grimm suit. theyre bad ass too.

[palaeomerus]

Geez. I'm tired of Jaffe trying to be a rockstar based on old Twisted Mteal games and God of War. Especially after he brought us the discontinued "Calling All Cars". He's entering Denis Dyack territory with his nonstop camera chasing and vague hype. At this point he really needs to either crap or get off the pot.

Jaffe, release a game or go away until you have a game to release.

[Digitaldude]

I gotta agree with you there, sure teasers build the hype but continuous teasers is just ridiculous, not ready then wait, but if you are, show us.

[showtimefolks]

keep talking till E3 sony is not dumm enough to release all their games in one year

overtime they will all come

syphon filter
TM
jak
sly

and for those who say they are not TM fan what are you doing here than its for TM or whatever he working on's fans

[PS360PCROCKS]

Too much speculation!

[BigMassacre]

Wasn't there a teaser for Twisted Metal on PS3 within Twisted Metal Head On: Extra Twisted Edition for PS2? I could have swore that you discover the message within some cut scenes or something.

http://kotaku.com/353706/ja...

"When David Jaffe released Twisted Metal Head On: Extra Twisted Edition he promised that there was a hidden message in the game that would reveal the next project for Jaffe's Eat Sleep Play development studio.

Well it may have been "hidden really, really, really well" but you know how hardcore fans can be. A group over at Gamefaqs managed to decipher the message in record time, discovering that it reads: METAL IS COMING ON PSTHREE."

[showtimefolks]

syphon for ps3 at E3

besides all the other games

[NJShadow]

Oh man, if they announce a new Syphon Filter, I'll be jumping for flippin' joy!

[Bravo4]

I want to see Orbital make a comeback in HD form!

[DJ]

Jaffe is probably working on a new IP.

[-MD-]

They're really reaching with this one. I was hoping for something juicy but ending a sentence with "sweet" is a pretty common thing for people to do.

Jaffe does it all the time on his blog too.

I really do hope they're working on Twisted Metal though.

[THC CELL]

man imagine twisted metal with real time damage
i mean bullit holes that will thread ya tires and hitting steam pipes and oil leaks and real time crashing

make the game hardcore woop wop

[PS360_37]

now we are calling games AAA before they are even announced...?

[palaeomerus]

AAA essentially means that a lot of money is being spent on making and marketing a game. It has nothing to do with quality, critical reception, or how fans like it. It is not like a blue ribbon for best game. Now AAA games may TEND to be the games that people and critics like but AAA is not a score or guarantee of quality.

So yeah AAA games are ALWAYS known before they are announced because game devs and publishers need to figure out what they are willing to spend LONG BEFORE they tell the press and prospective consumers about it.

[PS360_37]

I guess you learn something new every day thanks. Bubbles.

[unworthyBOZO]

Sweet can't wait.

[divideby0]

I want extended back drop stories on all the characters.

[poontab]

So is this 3 straight years of "hints"? Care to make a bet on 4?

[DarkSpawnClone]

i like the old sweet tooth better not the newer one in the pic(from black) lol

[DarkBlood]

d@mn i haven't played a twisted metal game since the ps1 days 2 and 4 was crazy fun and the music fit perfectly for each stage it was fun exploring as well

may just get twisted metal 2 on psn for to remeber the good ol days of playing it

[swansong]

Twisted Metal really isn't all that.To each his own though. I would love to see a remake of a classic game like Zombies Ate My Neighbors.

[rivithed]

Here's another SWEET reference, from Eat Sleep Play's tweet - http://twitter.com/EatSleep...

[ReBurn]

This is a cool rumor. My PS3 is sorely lacking in Twisted Metal mayhem, so I wish that they would just go ahead and do it. I love me some Twisted Metal!

[Agrahim]

A new Twisted Metal would be cool. Black for the PS2 kicked ***, and played the old Twisted Metal games back in the day.

Off topic: Maybe it's just me, but does anyone else think that in all his interviews David Jaffe come across as a d***?

[Claudinho69]

reachin.

[Jackel2072]

I really dont want another twisted metal. If anything i wish he would make his idea for Heartland. That whole concept sounded really cool. the only down side was, he wanted to make it for PSP...
