David Jaffe, better known for the Twisted Metal series, recently made some controversial comments regarding Nintendo and their software. Gimme Gimme Games poses a counter-argument against Jaffe's belief that Nintendo should try to sell themselves to Disney among other things.
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
Game director David Jaffe reveals that the original God of War 2005 was considered for a first-person viewpoint.
Im very glad it did not end up that way. In first person you would lose the scale the game has. That is something i really appreciate about the GoW games is the immense size and scale of the environments and how the camera zooms out to show it in a much grander view.
One of the unlockables in the original God of War was a first person representation of God of War. A consideration for a spin-off/sequel was presented as a FPS in modern times. The military finds the dead Titan (Chronos I believe) and goes into the mountains where Kratos found Pandora's Box. Very interesting idea and gave me Clive Barker Jericho vibes.
Maybe the Egyptian era for the PS6 would switch to first-person just to keep things fresh
David Jaffe says he doesn’t believe a new game is in the works; “I haven’t heard a thing".
IF a new game is in the works (I hope so), I don't care if Jaffe is part of it or not. There are a lot of talented game directors out there. Twisted Metal might be his baby, but Jaffe isn't a guarantee lock in developing the best version.
Jaffe is all over the place now. Whenever he gets brought up it’s on some weird shit. I wouldn’t blame Sony for leaving him out of the mix even though I still respect his older works.
Well his "revival" of the franchise sucked out loud, so not sure what he expects.
Sorta with Jaffe here.
I agree with the article, this dude make same game with new features, but blast nintendo for doing the same....then he forgets gamecube never sold for a lost, wii never sold for a lost, ds never sold for a loss and these gave them great wealth.....3ds sold for a loss but it was nowhere close to ps3 and 360 when it came to losing money so was the Wii U, Nintendo will never take a ps3/360 type of lost, so for him to think all these negative things he just have a hate against Nintendo........he say none of Nintendo games kept him in but anyone can say the same about any games, I do not like Killzone or a few other sony exclusives and yes I own only a ps3 last gen, I played a lot of multiplatform games on it, but I am not alone, if you look at sony first party and compare it to microsoft and nintendo none of their games beside grand tursimo can keep up....nintendo had mario kart wii who sold 30 million before it got bundle with every wii how can any first party keep up with nintendo first party sales, so there is nothing he can say bad about nintendo......I got my Wii U last year and experience all the wii games I miss, if anything I should say sorry Nintendo that I bail out on the Wii last gen it was a great console.....I am talking gameplay wise, I have fun, graphic wise I prefer my ps3, but there were some great looking wii games, but still this guy is wrong and he need to get his head check....if anyone should sell it would be between sony or microsoft, but if that happen 3rd parties would be sad because they cannot compete on a Nintendo console no one on a nintendo console with let them get away with micro transaction and all these other bullshits sony and microsoft let happen
Wait so Nintendo who has over 10 BILLION DOLLARS in cash in the bank ... should sell itself???
David Jaffe, stick to making n playing video games ... no one needs your financial advice.
