Jaffe’s New Game Is Looking a lot Less Twisted

01/29/2010 Written by Anthony Severino

David Jaffe’s latest game has long been rumored to be a Twisted Metal game, ever since a PlayStation 3 ad featured an image of mushroom dust cloud in the shape of clown, leading many to believe it was a hint of a new Twisted Metal game for the PS3.

Now, after Jaffe’s latest comments, it appears we may have been thrown a curveball and EatSleepPlay’s next game will be a completely new IP.

In a recent video, posted today on Jaffe’s personal blog, the vocal developer talks how proud he is of the recent announcement of God of War III being featured on Slurpee cups, even having its own “Kratos Fury” flavor.

Jaffe then goes on to speak about his hopes  for his latest project to reach that same milestone, mentioning that type of treatment is usually reserved for sequels, hinting that his latest game is the first game in what could end up being another very successful franchise.

“Maybe with the sequel, usually the first ones don’t, you know you got to build your fan base and it’s gotta do well. But hopefully we’re on the road, one day we can get something like that for what we’re working on.”

Don’t be so modest David Jaffe, if you hadn’t had a hand in God of War, it might not be the success it is today. Twisted Metal didn’t do too bad either, it’s only one of the most recognizable PlayStation franchises in existence.

Even if it’s not a PS3 Twisted Metal that EatSleepPlay is working on, we’re excited to play whatever they’ve been dreaming up. How about you? Disappointed it might not be Twisted Metal or happy for something fresh?

Thanks to TheHater for the tip!

    I am happy that its a New IP. I love new IP because they always bring new characters, story, and gameplay to love and hate :)

  2. Xael says:

    New IP is welcomed, but man I can only imagine now what a Twisted Metal game on the PS3 will look like

  3. Timewarp says:

    either way i’m ok. A new IP or a sequel to twisted metal would be awesome.

  4. Karum says:

    I’m very interested to hear in what Jaffe is working on, the man has a sound track record.

  5. He mentions something about “Scripts for the characters”…hmmm..every character in the Twisted Metal game has their own storyline, right? Perhaps the first quote is to just throw people off.

  6. Hope that’s not a Twisted Metal game…the game was good but not something to create a huge fanbase like GoW.
    I say…bring on a new IP that will surpass even GoW

  7. People are annoying. Just because there is a clown in a mushroom cloud of dust, people assume a twisted metal game?? That does not point towards a twisted metal game. It doesnt even look like that clown fro twisted metal, what was his name, sweettooth?

    Annoying. People are so idiotic.

  8. wtGp says:

    we really need a twisted metal game for this console generation

  9. Natiej85 says:

    I’ll be happy for a new IP that can save that twisted metal crap for the PSP. Shit the PS2 is still out there make a twisted metal that pushes that machine to the max so that regular people can have something to look forward to other than lame half ass games like Ultimate Alliance 2. A twisted metal that is solely for PS2 and maybe have a port for the PSP.

  10. They clown mushroom cloud was confirmed to symbolize “an explosion of fun and excitment” for a PS3 add campaign long ago by Sony, it has nothing to do with Twisted Metal. I’m pretty sure where all this TM talk is coming from is that the letters “TWISTED METAL PS3″ appeared in a video of the Eat Sleep Play Twisted Metal Head On PS2 game.

  11. SolidCake_ says:

    the clown looks more like Bozo to me, so it’s probably Bozo, Gotham City. Or perhaps
    Bozo, Grand Theft Auto 5.

  12. I hope we can at least get a Twisted Metal HD or something on the PSN…I really only ever played the first one. Was looking forward to a PS3 version with sweet HD graphics.

  13. Max Murray says:

    Be cool my babies, as coco would say.

    I’m sure no matter what, this generation we’ll see both a new TM and something new from Jaffe. He’s highly sought after by Sony. We won’t be disappointed.

  14. giese095 says:

    any new IP is great news….but I would still love to see Twisted Metal on the PS3

  15. Max Power says:

    You should check out Jaffes’ blog again and look to the right under the brain.

  16. name says:

    a little both.
    excited if its a new IP to see what its going to be.
    but than i love twisted metal so much and we have very few car combat games on the ps3.
    id be excited for either but id rather it be a new twisted metal game but open world kinda like burnout paradise rage mode.

  17. lemmy78 says:

    Perhaps it was to tease people that S.Kings ‘IT’ is coming to Blu-Ray? lololol
    “DONT YOU WANT A BALLOON,THEY ALLLLL FLOAT”
    Twisted Metal would be cooler tho………..

  18. Richy2k9 says:

    hello …

    something new also would be good ;)

    cheers!

  19. Whatever Jaffe’s new game is, i’ll be keeping a keen eye on it. That is, just as long as it’s not an FPS.

  20. Ulquiorra says:

    OMG….he is making TWISTED METAL for the ps3…its been confirmed a billion times now by various sources, not to mention ALL the leaked documents that said “TWISTED METAL” on it, the leaked picture of ROADKILL, and the leaked milestone email about TWISTED METAL…TM is coming, he’s just re-inventing the wheel so to speak for the game’s formula..

    end rant
