Pachter Reveals David Jaffe’s New Game Before E3

Can Wedbush Morgan Securities analysts Michael Pachter Keep a secret? Apparently not. The man has revealed David Jaffe’s new game before E3.

In a very long conversation on Game Trailers Bonus Round with Geoff Keighley, featuring editors from GameInformer and GiantBomb, Michael Pachter let loose Jaffe’s new upcoming game while talking in the “Sony at E3″ segment of the show.

“So I think that unfortunately Sony really does have good first party content, none Move first party content like David Jaffe’s Twisted Metal 2 Game,” he said.

[Bereaver]

Actually, I think it's true. Everyone has been talking about the possibility it would be "like" twisted metal, but have a different name. And this kinda points to that option too.

-edit-

Yeah, it does suck when someone spoils your secrets.

[FangBlade]

Just seeing hes face makes me wanna kill him.
And I dont give a shit about all this drama, It's a matter of principle.

[abc1233]

to be fair, jaffe did call pachter his bitch XD

[lociefer]

Omg Twisted Metal, YESSS , this made my day, so freakin happy , and ya pachter ur still jaffes bitch

[HolyOrangeCows]

Both Pachter and Shane SHATterfield with the Bonus Round are full of crap. I'll wait for an official announcement.

[GamerSciz]

That's because everyone is Jaffes bitch. He could care less about what people think of him. All I know is that I wouldn't cross him. He scares the crap outta me but I totally respect the guy for his ingenious work and creativity. If I were Pachter I would be sleeping with one eye open...

[Millah]

He most likely signed an NDA if he had access to this kind of info. So, he'll pay for it in the end.

If I was Jaffe, I'd be pissed seeing Pachter and that annoying face of his, spilling one of my secrets.

[ReservoirDog316]

You might wanna work on that temper you have there. Read what you just wrote, it's pretty serious.

[mikeslemonade]

Why are yall mad that this got leaked? Anything we know earlier is a good thing for us because we don't have to wait any longer to know. The only loser here is Patcher, jaffe's development team, and the publisher.

[Hideo_Kojima]

I like Pachter...

I remember before he was famous a year or 2 ago I used to like it when he came on Bonus Round.

He gives good opinions.

[Noctis Aftermath]

I wouldn't call this official, pachter most likely done it just to get himself in the headlines AGAIN.

[callahan09]

"unfortunately" Sony has good first-party content? Why would he use that word - unfortunately? How is it unfortunate? I didn't see the show, so I'm just reading the quote out of context, though. Anybody can explain?

[sinncross]

They were talking about the PS Move and how they feel that E3 will have to be about strong software for the device or else the Natal is going to upstage it (because Patcher knows of a lot of devs working on Natal stuff).

The 'unfortunately' was said because he believes that there may not be strong enough first party content for the Move to really accelerate it above the Natal in regards to what will be shown at E3.

Personally I think he mixed up his words (cause he repeated 'I think' twice before moving into that line)

But that is pretty much the gist of the 'unfortunately'.

hope this helps :)

[vhero]

He used unfortunately as he has openly come out and said he is a wii fanboy.

[marinelife9]

Jaffe can't possibly be happy nor is Sony. I'm sure whatever he was shown he had to sign a NDA.

I can't believe this site is trying to defend all the times Pachter was wrong. If you throw enough $#!+ at a wall some is bound to stick.

[WhittO]

lol, wow I bet Jaffe is furious! He did say he is NOT developing twisted Metal and I believe him, BUT, that doesn't mean it cant be called something else!

I think it's 95% true.

[TrailerParkSupervisr]

Jaffe is knows for blowing blue birds up our asses....and I don't mind. the guys a genius.

[sikbeta]

Jaffe is Gonna beat Pachter ass so bad lol

Great News If this is Twisted Metal F*CK YEAH!!!!

[raztad]

Patcher is officially a MORON, and I would totally understand if Sony blacklist him.

[morganfell]

Bigger than Pachter's remarks though are the comments from Andy McNamara at the 2:38 mark. Apparently this is a game no one knows about on the PS3 and will be on the cover of Game Informer.

And if you listen to the way Pachter's mention Jaffe's game, Pachter isn't saying that with any sense of certainty. He states it like anyone else in the public would say it that is guessing. I think the game will be Twisted Metal as well but I don't think that Pachter was stating it with the confidence of "I have seen this and can tell you that is exactly what it is."

If you want to see how wrong these guys are just listen to Gerstmann say that Sony won't push 3D at this year's E3. I wonder how he feels about those remarks now that KZ3 is out - concerning which he was obviously in the dark.

[SuperM]

exactly. this isnt news. pachter didnt reveal anything.

[Reibooi]

If it's true. It seems like it's a new series like Twisted Metal but not Twisted Metal.

Notice how he said Twisted Metal 2. Not Twisted Metal Black 2. And then added or what ever they are gonna call it.

It seems to me like it may be a successor to Twisted Metal. Which would explain Jaffe saying the game was not Twisted Metal because Technically he would not be lying by saying that.

[zootang]

@Reibooi

Destruction Derby HD With a Jaffe twist. One can only hope

[Reibooi]

o.o

The thought of that makes me very very happy.

[tplarkin7]

He was just joking.

[Downtown boogey]

This is old as hell and he was kidding!!

[kesvalk]

sooo,he is aways wrong... but now he right? i call all of this BS.

[knight626]

i agree i was watching the video and he actually said twister metal and he said take that jaffe

[DarkSpawnClone]

Twisted Metal Relaunch confirmed :P i think it will be a relaunch cause he did say that if he was going to make a new twisted metal game he was going to do a relaunch which is GREAT!!! oh man!!!! OMG!!! TWISTED METAL!!! FUCKING Triple A!!!! YES!!!! the last game i played was twisted metal black,tbh is was ok but not as good as the first 4.it went all weird in TM:black i didn't like it as much.but i love twisted metal on the ps1 i spent most of my time playing twisted metal!! as of course Sweet tooth(needles) and minion i did like in 4 how you could make your own car that would be cool in TM for ps3 if you could make your own car to fight it out online with imo..PLEASE BE AT E3!!! i hope this comes out this year! but i don't think it will maybe 2011!! WOOO!!! I'm so preordering this as soon as it confirmed by jaffe and sony!,i cant wait to here those sweet beautiful words from Calypso‎ "Welcome To Twisted Metal!!" I LOVE TWISTED METAL <3
i feel like a giggling school girl XD! i have been so happy about a game in forever!

[Faztkiller]

I think he was just joking around, Jaffe didn't seem to upset
http://twitter.com/davidsco...

[Ps_alm3k]

he is upset, but he forgave already.

when i get upset with somebody, they will usually know, but i will forgive them on the spot by just say saying don't worry or sarcastically call them B@@$@#!! and say j/k. it should be fine, but im sure he will not get told anymore secret. thats all.

[FOXDIE]

the article has one big big big flaw, the bonus round is not an live show. They would edit that out if it was true.

[RememberThe357]

I think he was just going off the rumors not any actual inside info.

[wxer]

what a dick
and he is always wrong, why dose PPL give a shit about what he says ?

[Oztheboss]

Christ... Jaffe already said that he's NOT doing Twisted Metal. Pachter was only having some fun.

[NeutralGamer]

Oh my god!
Patcher is a Xbot fanboy and a spoil troller!

[yoshiro]

and i can annouce other one
http://img248.imageshack.us... you know the image, dont need to traslate

[sinncross]

Infamous 2 is going to rock as long as they get rid of the floaty jumping and the automatic clinging.

[cLiCK_sLiCK9]

"Huge PS3 exclusive sequel announcement on the next ROPS"

I hope I translated right.

[yoghurt]

blimey, infamous 2 huh, suprised nobody else has reported that or written an article about the discovery

Nice one, so far then we have LBP2, KZ3, Jaffe's game, GT5 and now Infamous 2 - looks like Sony is on a roll!

[vhero]

Wasn't keen on infamous I didn't like the underground bit to get powers completely ruined the game for me. Hopefully the sequel will do away with silly bits like that.

[villevalorox]

thw bad thing I found with infamous, was once you beat the story mode it was so boring to just go around the city. just like gta4

[pwnsause]

:)

you made me a happy person today yoshiro.

[Ether]

Here me, ye God of gaming.

Let this be true.

[Al Bundy]

And so it will be, my son.

[sikbeta]

Infamous 2! Holly... Awesome!!!!

[bjornbear]

funny...its a portuguese magazine? tuga ou brazuca? =P

[yoshiro]

tuga ;)

[-MD-]

I played and beat Infamous but I never would have guessed what that image was.

[ExgamerLegends2]

Pachter's about to go on somebody's hit list.

[Alcohog]

What a bitch.

[yojoe26]

Dare I get excited again? What if this turns out to be a hoax or misunderstanding as well? Doop!! Too late. I'm officially excited!!!!!!!

[bjornbear]

my future prediction:

patcher will be butt raped by sony AND jaffe

[keysy420]

he didnt reveal any game he was joking

[Doc Sony]

It really sucks that I didn't play Twisted Metal back in the day, as a result I find it hard to get excited for a game about cars with guns grafted to them, racing around blowing shit up.

I'm sure there's a bit more to it than that but still, I wish it was something else.

Can't help it.

But I'll try to keep an open mind since I kinda did enjoy playing Hardware online when I firat got my PS2.

[BrutallyBlunt]

Jaffe is an attention seeking whore anyways so this long drawn out reveal is getting ridiculous. Most people thought it was Twisted Metal all along with all the hints. They already announced Little Big Planet 2 and Killzone 3. To me this just shows how deep the exclusives are on the Playstation 3.

I love the Twisted Metal games but I don't feel one bit of empathy towards David. If the guy wasn't so vocal to begin with then I would feel bad about the leak.

[Briefcase Joe]

He and Jaffe like each other. He clearly said it jokingly. Also, when has he ever been right?

[DelbertGrady]

I know one gnome that will be very unhappy about this. Pachter better up his magic defense.

[readiandnot]

http://n4g.com/news/528962/...

[FanboyAttack]

There's alot of "articles" like this where one line is copied from the original video. I would think its pretty hard for the mods to catch everything. One of them has to go. I vote this one!

[FanboyAttack]

I hope it's not Twisted Metal. Twisted Metal is a garbage game.

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi__]

"Can Wedbush Morgan Securities analysts Michael Pachter Keep his mouth shut for just one second? Apparently not" ;-D

[BBAM]

ignoring the fact Jaffe clearly stated his next game is NOT twisted metal 2 over on his twitter account;
Pachter was obviously joking. Think the author just got a little over excited...

[yoshiro]

patcher the clown...he likes to be the center of all attentions

[BrutallyBlunt]

They both do. Maybe Jaffe's next game is really him and Pachter going toe to toe with Sackboy as a referee. Sackboy can then bring out charts and graphs showing sales data and future prognosis for Pachter to analyze while Jaffe will play the role of the Buzz games host.

[Dellis]

Twisted Metal would be a huge flop, gamers of today who own PS3 don't remember that Ip,

[supremacy]

than why would anyone be in this thread talking about it? and in the official PlayStation forums asking for a ps3 make of the franchise? no offense bro but if its one thing i know is that most PlayStation gamers never forget their franchises/games.

just because we got games like infamous, uncharted, killzone and littlebigplanet, motorstorm ect... dont mean we suddenly have forgotten about the syphone filters, omega boosts, legend of dragoon, dark clouds,Sly cooper, jak and daxter, wildarms ect and specially the twisted metals

go ahead ask them what PlayStation classic they will like to see make return on the ps3..
trust me you be surprise, how picky we PlayStation gamers have become over the years and how spoil we ve gotten that if you try to shove the same 2(halo and gears of war, nothing personal as these two are great ips) ips down our throats year after year, we start to get disappointed.

[cmrbe]

I will never forget Omega Boost.That was one crazy game. Sad that Poly didn't make another one but then i understand because they are now only focusing on GT.

Another PS game that i want a PS3 version really bad is Colony Wars or bast radius. I don't know why Sony haven't release a good space sim since the PS1 days.

Colony Wars 1 and 2 are off the hook so good that it hurts there hasn't been any new iteration. The amazing story and cinamatics as well as the space dog fights were amazing.

[TheHater]

Patcher was joking when he said that and wasn't even sure. It was just an assumption by his part.

[X-Frame]

Of course he means the game is now going to be called, "Twistier Metal".

[THE_JUDGE]

I don't think Patcher actually knows what ESP is working on. He obviously get his news from GI and GB like he said so he only knows what he's read and like the rest of us we have read that Jaffe is working on a new Twisted Metal and thats why he said it. He is an analyst, a poor one at that, but his job isn't to really know about games his job is to guess what game companies are going to make a profit.

[Sameh]

Do you guys really think they'd have included it in the episode if it is true? No.

[bligmerk]

Pachter has been wrong so many times in so many areas, it is no longer funny. That article claiming he is "connected" is ridiculous. Connected to his finger pulling stuff out of his read end -- maybe. And what is with that statement "unfortunately Sony has good first party content"? That was idiotic, no matter how you spin it.

[peeps]

i didn't even realise he said that when i watched the show lol watching it again now i can see why. to me it sounds more joking around calling it twisted metal '2' because it wouldn't be twisted metal 2 would it lol i mean theres been twisted metal 1-4 followed by twisted metals with subtitles after.

oh also, that picture that showed up recently... i'm 99% sure it's an old screen from harbour city i.e. the twisted metal for ps2 that got cancelled

[karan8624]

What a dick

[N4BmpS]

You as much as this game has been kept a secret, this isn't how it should have been revealed. Good Job Pachter(douche). I knew he wasn't the type to keep his mouth closed. Maybe this is false info but I just don't think so. Who knows though.

[davedagamer]

Don't we already have Blur/Split Second/Mod Nation Racers?

[supremacy]

i just that's a joke and you are just being sarcastic, blur/split second and modnation racers? look twisted metal is a classic.

twisted metal isn't just about the cars and explosions, twisted metal is also about the characters and their stories. something that all those games you just mention clearly lack.

also twisted is more of a battle arena type game, its not a racer trying to be another need for speed or a mario kart.

with that said twisted metal like GTA is an original ip that had several clones try and dethrone it in many forms such as.. vigilante 8,death race,full auto ect and so to say who cares about a franchise that other companies have tried to clone and try take its thunder away.. just sounds a bit ignorant to me my friend.

Furthermore Like every original successful ip one must recognize it for what it is and acknowledge their significance in the gaming industry.

[DigitalAnalog]

That's double-FAIL!

And a WIN for gamers.

-End statement

[AEtherbane]

Bonus Room is not LIVE. They would have covered it up if it was so detrimental to Sony or Jaffe. So for all you haters out there, look at it this way, Jaffe says its not twisted metal, and i doubt he's lying, so i doubt Pachter was being serious.

[JonnyBigBoss]

Wow, Gersttman was on the show too. Great video from GameTrailers.

Sony has a LOT of exclusives coming out..

[Reborn]

DC Universe?

Haven't seen much about it..

Anyways, if this is true, I cant wait.

[LiViNgLeGaCY]

Good. Good for him. The man was spending way too much time teasing, and not revealing, if you ask me. I'm glad this happened.

[DarkSpawnClone]

Here is some intro Videos of Twisted metal to get yah Hyped up :P OMFG i cant wait!
TM4

[DarkSpawnClone]

:O a disagree fairy , some people don't like twisted metal shame ;/ the xboxers don't know what there missing! seriously Twisted metal is AWESOME!!! no fan boy could turn this game down! Cars with guns and rockets? how can you turn that down.

[LevDog]

Man what a long smooth shaft with a mushroom top that guy is.. HE HATES SONY.. HaHa he is made they have more first party devs?

Anyways This is great news.. I wanted it to be twisted metal and it was.. ModNation got me back into cars games.. This might be the icing on the cake.. Just want I needed after the over saturation of shooters..

[barakiu]

pretty lame N4G

[Mamajuana]

What's up with all this stuff being leaked before E3, it was like that last year also. I wonder if Jaffe and/or Sony is upset about this.

[evilmonkey501]

Twisted metal sucked anyways in my opinion. Its the only Jaffe game I didn't like. I'd much rather buy Modnation racers.

[VenGencE999]

Who ever posted this poor attempt at journalism is a complete tool. You take an old clip and put on a shiny new label on it to garner quick, curious and eager hits from gamers waiting for new gaming info for shameless attention.

loser

[Alcohog]

Time for me to make a prediction, Pachter. You will face a penalty from Eat, Sleep, Play and SONY for breach of NDA.

[Matthew94]

did jaffe not say that he WASNT making a new TM game?? anyone forget this?

[KILLERAPP]

I am really impress how Sony this year has manage to keep all there surprises secret unlike last year, none of these four guys no anything more than those game that everyone knows already, Sony has something in the dark to surprise us all I just can’t think what the hell it is... Am also exited about the game he talks about been in the cover of Game Informer, he talks about a first party game he has seen and he is very impress with what game could it be???

[orion456]

It's obviously a joke. Do you all lack the social skills necessary to tell when somebody's telling a joke. Lesson 1: When somebody laughs when making some sort of statement, they're probably joking

[Dioxinis]

I disagree i DO want the full console experience i just CANT without a second analog stick! SOME games work fine BUT i NEED another analog stick if your going to be making portable shooters in addition to some other games! i mean you guys (sony) would do FANTASTIC if you had a COD game which was basically equivalent to the console version! make it work over a 3g/4g network and thats REALLY portable gaming

[Prcko]

As i said,twisted metal:Harbor city!!!
One more ps3 exclusive!
IT ONLY DOES EVERYTHING!!!

[despair]

riiight like anyone is going to tell patcher anything of real value or substance.

hope its twisted metal though

[thehitman]

This was already put on N4G and omg TWISTED METAL BEEN CONFIRMED FOR F&CKING 2 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Run_bare]

I hope Kojima reveal Zone of Enders 3

[TheDudeLasse]

Judging by the comment section, people post comments based on the title of the story. Pachter is just guessing like he always does on the Bonusround.

[oguzsasi]

Please just shut the hell up dude! If you wanna be famouse just do your job! Dont run after gaming sites to make money all day long to tell lies! jesus!!!

[yog-sothot]

The new Jaffe's game might very well be a Twisted Metal title, but Pachter was just joking for God's sake !

videogame journalism is getting worse every day
