David Jaffe - founder of Eat Sleep Play and Director of Twisted Metal (PS3) - isn’t shy of a little controversy. In fact, he veritably thrives on it, sprinkling even the most mundane of interview responses with F-bombs as if to keep up that particular pretence .
In an interview in the latest edition of the UK’s Edge Magazine he was on usual form, espousing (amongst other things) the benefits of browser-based games and the importance of interactivity in game design. It was one particular response however that was quickly snaffled up for headline-duties by Edge’s sister website, Computer & Videogames; a move that suggests that game-journalism isn't quite so distanced from the practices of tabloid newspapers as one would hope.
The alleged God of War game that is said to be set in the Greek mythology is rumored to have had its release postponed to the year 2026.
no surprise... this gen has been 'almost' a total wash for Sony. They has been shifting games to 26. Probably to pad out the eventual release of the PS6, which is also rumored for 26/27.
Man, I wish we could go back to the hood ol’ days of God of War. I totally understand the craft and talent that went into the modern version, but I found them incredibly boring. I love the spectacle and unapologetic visceral and energy of the originals. They were shocking, brutal, and completely bad-ass. Wish we could get back to those days.
Hate to break it to you, but we've already had, like, seven GoW games set in Greek mythology. Did you mean Egyptian mythology...in your headline?
wait wait wait wait. Greek Mythology? wtf? Why are why are we going back?
edit: Supposedly it's a spinoff and its metriodvania style????? SIGN ME UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tom Henderson and Jeff Grubb suggest a 2.5D Metroidvania-style God of War spin-off is in development, set in Greece before Kratos becomes a god.
I wouldn't mind playing that, I'm guessing somewhat in the vein of Prince Of Persia:TLC but hopefully with better graphics.
🤔 Interesting. Nothing wrong with switching it up to a different genre of game for a side project. Hope they don't try to do that to a main entry.
PlayStation - The Concert is a magical musical experience for fans of the brand.
Depends on whether or not he was being sarcastic during the interview. I tend to tell people at times, "I'd love to do this or that with you / hang out with you, but I'd rather do something fun..."
Sadly it is just a job for him. But thankfully there's many people who still buy games and make it worth it to continue making them.
