David Jaffe's blog entry on what happened at E3 |
David Jaffe is a pretty cool guy. Not because he's crazy enough to create something like God of War or Twisted Metal, but because his blog entries put a smile on our faces. His latest entry is all about the E3 experience, something far different than it was years ago.
Like some guys in the industry (even Hideo Kojima), Jaffe obviously isn't fond of how E3 is like today. "E3 was so lame this year," he posted on his blog. To be fair, he found it cool that getting hands on games is less messy this time, but he expressed his anger at the event quite clearly.
Another that he finds noteworthy during E3 was actually meeting with Nintendo's big man, Shigeru Miyamoto. His thoughts on it:
Maybe I should have gone: 'You have made some of the best games- hell,
the best pieces of entertainment EVER but since MARIO 64, I have not
loved anything you have done? I have respected all you have brought to
the industry and world, especially in the last POST-Mario 64 years but
for me personally, none of it floated my boat? But still dude, thanks
so so so much for pretty much creating the modern incarnating of this
industry?"
And then he would have just looked at me and said: 'You are fat. Use Wii Fit for 2 months and call me back. Bye fatso'
As you would've guessed, it didn't go exactly as planned. Jaffe was still happy that he got a picture with him, which you can see above. What they talked about, we wouldn't know. When the man behind the most brutal titles meets the man known worldwide to make family games, we can't even imagine what would happen.

I wish that more game developers were like this, because of the fierce competition between the 3 consoles they all seem to be hostile to each other, throwing insults and bashing each others console over the internet ect.
Wouldn't it be refreshing to see Phil Harrison and Peter Moore shaking hands or something?
hell no......
especially not Peter Moore... he ruined the dreamcast
Phil Harrison isn't a developer. Developers have more brains.
Phil Harrison, Peter Dille, David Krakker, Howard Stringer, Kaz Hirai, Michael Eiphram, and gang are basically professional liars. Make the competitor's product seem inferior and their product seem superior. No they're not very good at it, it's just people are very stupid and believe them.
Peter Moore is kinda the same thing but he really isn't a liar. I read the interview where Peter Moore publically apoligized for the 360's defects, and I was thinking "wow sony would never say anything like that." They would never admit a mistake, apologize, or take a huge financial loss to fix it. MS will make statments and say the strengths and weaknesses of each system (of course favoring the 360.) They just don't resort to lying or trash talking. They're after a smarter consumer. I have far more respect for Microsoft and Nintendo.
Sony is getting desperate, and it shows in how they attack their competitors. Failing systems in the past have used similar last ditch measures. Next there will be kamikaze attacks against Microsoft production facilities if that fails. Then they'll say "see they can't produce systems anymore."
funny. "When the man behind the most brutal titles meets the man known worldwide to make family games, we can't even imagine what would happen."
lol
Anyway, it's the same for me, after mario 64, I never played his games... Now I'm playing Jaffe's games, lol.
ps: I LOVE god of war games!
It would be nice to see that but really its more exciting to see competitive business and it really drives the industry cause of competition
I have way more respect for microsoft and nintendo then I do for
