VG247: Following a bizarre internet kerfuffle in which the Eat, Sleep, Play boss was accused of hating on Battlefield 3, David Jaffe has told VG247 he loves DICE and expects the game to be brilliant.
Terri writes: "In a recent video released by the creator of the God of War series, David Jaffe, we can see that Jaffe is not fond of the direction PlayStation took regarding the franchise, and in particular, Kratos himself."
Well, I personally think that Santa Monica did an absolutely phenomenal job with Kratos, showcasing insane character development in all the right ways.
Wasn't Jaffe the one who got stuck on something easy in Metroid Dread and started bashing the game because of it? From what I played of GoW 2018, they actually gave Kratos some much-needed depth. I definitely plan to finally go through the newer entries once my PS5 comes in.
This whole video was essentially him finding comments to back up his own opinion. "It looks like a lot of people think..."
Yeah, well what do the review scores, sales, user scores, and completion rates on the last two say? Anything on that?
People won’t like it I know but he’s entitled to his opinion being the games creator
I totally disagree but it’s not going to ruin the game for us who do like it
Whether it comes through remakes or a new game with a similar style, DICE should aim to revive the glory days of Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2.
hmmm I think there will be no old BF glory days for EA since they are loyal to their greediness and laziness :D
You're asking for a miracle with EA that will never happen unless they can exploit the money making schemes behind it.

People can hype BF3 in response to thier hatred of COD (I can actually agree w/it). But what gets me are the people that do it as if they themselves are a more thoughtful, self-actualized gamer; its just one war game vs. another.
If people look for an issue they'll find one. Never let the truth get in the way of hate fueled comments based off unsubstantiated evidence. Drama sells.
If I never played a battlefield game, and I hyped it because of a demo showing of the game then I can see his point. But since I played virtually all battlefields available and know what to expect, I can hype it and call it a winner off of visuals and past experience. They all played great and I see no reason to expect that to diminish with bf3. I expect the quality to remain intact. So yes, fps game of what ever show it was displayed at.

Thats the idea. Its bad when journalists and gamers become so comfortable with a series that they hype a new product to oblivion and reward it game of the show even with little to no gameplay footage, solely based on graphics or expectations or nostalgia or rumors or what not. Maybe some felt that more substance was needed and less advertising before we know any features or if it will even work on consoles which is how the vast majority will first play it. Its an understandable concern that will be relived again when GTA5 is announced. I however know that bf3 will be amazing, as will twisted metal.
Jaffe's original statement made complete sense. The problem is that people on the internet forget how to read full articles and they jump to conclusions, especially when they're a fan of something and perceive others as naysayers. Also, it doesn't help when you have all kinds of bedroom operated gamesites that will jump on anything just to get a front page story on n4g.
Seriously, 90% of the stuff on N4G is garbage and these small sites just upload their own "stories" to N4G because they otherwise wouldn't be read. It's a vicious cycle but I continue to come back in hopes for worthy news.
Moral of the story, people need to practice their reading comprehension skills. Some of these sites act like middle school girls gossiping in the bathroom, "OMG Did you hear what Dave Jaffe said!?!?!?!"
