David Jaffe leaves Sony, starts EAT SLEEP PLAY with Incognito founder |
Ó
Remember when David Jaffe, the developer of God of War and other highly-respected games, said that he has a big announcement to make? Well, he just blogged that he is leaving Sony to start his own company. It will be known as EAT SLEEP PLAY and Jaffe will be joined by the founder of Incognito Scott Campbell in this endeavor. So far, the company already has a total of three game console/handheld exclusive deals with Sony.
David Jaffe mentioned that they are hoping to release their first original title some time in 2008. Waiting for that doesn't mean though that we'll be having some dry spells.
The company already plans on putting out a port of Twisted Metal: Head On to the PlayStation 2 this Christmas season. Jaffe gave a few points on why this PSP to PS2 port will rock your socks off:
- It has the original Head On title but it's now running at 60fps and has resed up textures as well as some gameplay tweaks.
- It has 5-7 levels from the never released Twisted Metal Black: Part II
- It has a documentary on the history of the series.

So...It's kinda like...Nobuo Uematsu leaving SquareEnix to start off his own company, but with games instead of composing music. Interesting.
its like justin timberlake leaving nsync to go on a solo career
Just like justin timberlake leaving nsync to go on a solo career.. what are you fooking retarded or something? Its actually more like, hes leaving sony in the hopes that he can make products for other platforms as well, e.g.. xbox 360, wii, ds and PC.. jeez...
Just to add a little more to the original story that should have been mentioned.
The new studio that Jaffe has formed has also gone into an exclusive partnership with Sony.
Although he's left Sony, he's still working for them, just at from within his own company.
the new full page ads are very annoying
why degrade your site like every other game news site qj?
you had some class
i kinda knew he would say that... though it's not really that surprising
He's still only with Sony
It's cool that he's developping exclusives for sony at least, since it's them who made him. So I think it's a pretty good decision, I mean, he's at the top of his career and starting his own company is the best move he could do, and it's the best timing for this. The only thing I'm unsure is: will this be good for us? I hope that he's gonna finish god of war 3 at least!!! And I hope the games he'll make will be as big as god of war 3 (he'll need a lot of money and I'm not sure if he has it..). Or this could also release his potential, maybe sony put limits on his work and now he'll be free to do even better games? (not sure of that at all...). Anyway, it's a good move for him, I just hope it's as good for us... At least he still do exclusives with sony so he surely have a partership with them, and if he have, he'll surely complete god of war (with the partnership with sony, since the name "gow" is a sony copyright).
ps: I really hope he's gonna do god of war 3, and I HATE remakes, so I hope he's not gonna do remakes after remakes (since it pays a lot)...
ROFELION!!!
lawl@games for xbox360
xbox is doomed and about the wii why waste time with this POS, just stay with PS2/PSP then, it has waaay better graphics
Traitor!!
I hope he die a horrible death...
I Dnt No Who The ***** This Guy Is?????????????????????????????
It's not really much of a surprise. It'll give Jaffe complete freedom to do what he wants which can only mean great things for us gamers (or atleast us with sony systems). Nice to see that his relationship with Sony is still intact.
Honestly, working WITH Sony and not FOR Sony is exactly what Jaffe needs to bloom. I wish all the best to him and his team.
That goes back to what I've been arguing about for the longest time, Sony cares for their relationships, keeps their friends very close and in the end can get exclusive deals with said devs on trust alone. Microsoft on the other hand throws money at devs to win them over... which when in a tight spot... won't help them.
Honestly, with his very little work on both GoW2 and GoW for the PSP... I doubt Jaffe will have his hand in the GoW cookie pot. It's an established franchise and other members of Sony's team (including Cory Barlog [sp?] head of dev behind GoW2/PSP) can handle the job.
I think financially he'll be fine. He's still got ties with Sony and if he asked for some assistance I'm willing to be that they'd give it to him.
And calling all cars was ass!
You saw this coming? So, you can see the future eh?
Did you see this "stfu idiot" coming too?
i wonder what he thinks of Heavenly Sword.......being a rip off n' all
amen to that,
twisted metals gonna blow mayonnaise with this ***** in charge
lol another psp to ps2 port. psp is only worth it for emulation.
i dont like that much cause he always complains and has a temper'...........he b- itches soo much' but he did give me my favoritist game
im soo excited for the TM: black 2 levels
i was hoping a new fully destructible' terrain warping, 60 player deathmatch on TM:Carnage for the ps3
CODEMAYHEM.NET!

we have friendly members devoted to helping you with your hacking needs. our site is large enough to have a good community but not so big that your questions are left un-anwsered. =)
I don't care who the ***** this guy is!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But it could help or hinder his stuff....
But also, he probably wants to do something OTHER then GOW, and if he stayed with sony maybe he would be forced to continue the franchise.
But, as hush said, with an established franchise like GOW, one man is not really needed as the whole dev team has a feel for how GOW should turn out.
Also, it's mostly about the artists and writers, who keep the aesthetic the same...then add a few gameplay tweaks and voila....
Hey... Dnt Copy My Name.....
