Video interview w/ David Jaffe on God of War 3

Which is to say, when GameTrailers asked him what's up with God of War 3, David Jaffe says that he's opened his notebook and started jotting ideas down "four days ago". But that doesn't mean they're in development now! (a) Team's busy concentrating on God of War 2. (Deux), no money from Sony yet. But (iii) if the reception for Kratos Part II is good, perhaps there will be a go-ahead for the Third, and all those paper ideas may finally see the Blu-Ray light of day.

The rest of the interview reveals a lot about David Jaffe the man and the developer, and not just David Jaffe as the mad mind (and loud mouth) behind God of War. Hear his opinions on the SIXAXIS, and the Wiimote; hear his gratitude to Microsoft for Xbox Live's trailblazing, and his hopes that PlayStation Network will be just as good - or even better.

Oh, and hear him describe himself as a "B-level game designer ("Okay, C") who's not arrogant, who's not cocky", and who only comes off like that because when guys who shove a microphone in his face ask for his opinion, he gives it. And his love for the guys at NeoGAF. That is one healthy ego behind that mad mind (and the loud mouth). And note that he's saying all this, plus the Wii and 360 stuff, with someone from SCEA Marketing by his side. That is one HEALTHY ego from SCE-Santa Monica. Wonder what they put in the water up there.

This man, has got to be the coolest developer this side of itagaki. What is also great is how much praise this guy gave xbox live. Isn't usually the microsoft devs that piss on sony?

» Let there be a GOW 3

Jaffe seem like a pretty cool guy and I hope GOW 3 will be in developement for the PS3. GOW is still one of the best action games out there and it would be great to see what Jaffe and his team can come up with on the PS3. Still waiting for GOW 2

Dave Jaffe is i'll say one of the coolest developers i have seen, and i like the fact that he voices his opinion and u can tell by his loud mouth (i like the fact that he has a loud mouth, really voices his opinion). But all in all, Jaffe seems real, and down to earth, and wether or not he is a B level developer (or C), he still makes good games. funny he mentioned not being as good as Devil May Cry, but honestly i had more fun playin GOW than DMC. just my 2 cents

» lol, yeah

and yes I too had more fun in GOW, at least compared to DMC3 ( but loved the 1 more than GOW ).



and no he's not a "b" nor "c" dev, he's really good and I give him an A because god of war is on it's own, it's one of the best action platformer I played and the only lacking thing for me was a longer scenario, lol. I just wanted the game to be longer, because it was great!!!



I'm waiting for GOW2 and really hope they'll do the game on the ps3, this would be soooo cool! great graphics, great game, badass hero!!



note: poor sony exec., he just wanted to place some sentences lol.



ps: I ( and a lot of other people ) had a phone conversation with david jaffe :D. how? simple lol, for those who have finished the game, you can earn 2 phone numbers ( free to call ) to listen to really cool stuff ( you listen to david jeff getting killed by kratos, lol ).!!!



I hope in GOW2 we'll have some phone numbers too!

» i farted

I like how he dodged around the questions about Sony and the PS3 lol...



Do you think the SIXAXIS is any good? Well I dunno yet, but im looking forward to trying it out.



Do you think Sony Network will be as good as Xbox Live? Well I dunno, xbox live is pretty good.



And he also said this game will be multiplatform, another exclusive of Sony's lost? Probably...

» Agreed

His 'B-level designer' rant was awesome. If he's really 'drunk as ****', and alcohol is the perfect truth-serum, then this dude is AWESOME!



I also liked his shoutout to the strengths of the other 2 consoles; he's a good sport.

» you make me sick

you see that guy above? The imposter vietone? yeah, well he lost his way out of the 1up forums. Gawd dude, i never realized how gay fanbois can get, especially after reading a whole 9 page forum about console sales. I'm dropping my role as sony fanboi and becoming a pacifist. Maybe go buy curry for poor kids in India or something.

» Multiplatform?

Watch it again. The Sony rep was saying GoW would be multiplatform on the PS3. i.e. Multiplatform in the sense that the series would be available on both PS2 and PS3.



Dummy...

» Multiplat GoW 3

My guess is PS3 & PSP, both fully integrated and with multiplayer component, maybe online coop. Pretty sweet!

» Wow

I *****ing love him now, drunken interviews kick ass. I liked the comment about DMC also. lol

» Great Interview

The same interview would have been better if he had one of the girls at the playboy mansion on his lap or something.
