David Jafffe: No More Interview Until Next Project Is Revealed

In David Jaffe's latest Flixn cast, he stated that he turned down an interview for the first time in a while. He says he wants to wait until Eat Sleep Play reveals their next title. He will be turning down interviews from now on until that game is revealed. Let's hope (or know) it's Twisted Metal on the PLAYSTATION 3.

Jaffe: Twisted Metal PS3 Is His Next Project

Looks like Extra Twisted Edition was right. Brian Crecente of Kotaku was able to contact Jaffe who is at DICE this week. Jaffe seemed disappointed his "Twisted Metal is coming on PSThree" code was cracked so early (read linked post).

He confirmed it's coming but left no comment on whether it will be on a Blu-Ray disc or a downloadable title.

Twisted Metal IS Coming to the PLAYSTATION 3

David Jaffe did mention that their latest title would be hidden on Twisted Metal: Head-On: Extra Twisted Edition, and the guys over at GameFAQs were able to crack the code.

In the Dark Past video featured on the game disc, random numbers display throughout the video such as "19 23 9 18". If you put all these numbers together in alphabetical cousins, it spells "Twisted Metal is coming on PSThree".

Jaffe, you sly dog. Did you think the gaming community couldn't figure it out? Well, pretty clever. We'll have more on this when we find out.

Surfer Girl: Twisted Metal PLAYSTATION 3 to be PSN Title

A commenter asked Surfer Girl (the girl with the inside scoop) on her blog if she knew anything about a Twisted Metal on the PLAYSTATION 3.

She replied that the game is coming out on the PLAYSTATION Network. Hopefully, it will have a blu-ray disc release as well.

Jaffe Hinting at PLAYSTATION 3 Twisted Metal Title?

In a new blog entry on the PlayStation.Blog where David Jaffe reveals a plethora of information regarding the upcoming Twisted Metal: Head-On: Extra Twisted Edition, he hints at something that Twisted Metal fans have been wanting for a while.

"Oh, and have I mentioned that buried deep within this mammoth package is the answer to a question that TM fans have been asking us for quite a while now? No? Oh, well now I have. But good luck finding it! It’s buried pretty deep!"

Could Jaffe be hinting at a Twisted Metal game coming for the PLAYSTATION 3? "Let's hope so" seems to be all we've been saying for the past day.

In other news, Twisted Metal: Head-On: Extra Twisted Edition is only going to cost $19.99 upon it's release, it includes four lost levels from Twisted Metal: Black, and comes with a documentary on the series.

Surfer Girl: Twisted Metal, Heavy Rain, Street Fighter IV, More

Surfer Girl, we still have no idea who she is, and how she is getting her information, but we still report it, for some strange reason. Here is her latest:

1) The Jet Moto series is alive in the same way a rock is. Twisted Metal has a future on that new console that ends with a 3.
2) An Animal Crossing MMO would not see release outside of Japan, NoA and NoE are obstinate in only wanting limited online functionality in the title.
3) F-Zero is coming to Wii and possibly, but probably not, being developed by Monster Games (according to someone with a rather legimate email address).
4) A new Skies of Arcadia for the Wii seems to be a yes.
5) No Wave Race, Luigi's Mansion's 2, Excitebike (it's called Nitrobike) or 1080 for Wii. Punch-Out for Wii, if it has gone beyond the prototype that was made last year, is a remake of the original NES title.
6) KHIII, if it is coming out. is definitely coming to the Wii, they need the game's demographics (which lean a bit younger than your average SquareEnix fanboy) to purchase the title. [Seems Only Like a Prediction]
7) Sega does not want to bring back Shenmue. If I wanted to see the story conclude, I wouldn't be pushing for a game that probably is not going to happen, I'd be pushing for a graphic novel version (which is far more feasible than another extremely expensive game that would probably not break even).
8) Microsoft is not dropping Rare.
9) Heavy Rain an "adventure game" that features a number of things I've never seen before in a game and it has been in production for at least two years by now..
10) No Wario World sequel.
11) The next KOTOR is being worked on at BioWare, pre-production and some early production has been done internally at LucasArts, though.
12) Nintendo is most likely co-publishing Itadaki Street DS here stateside and the game is almost certainly to get a new name (and I have been told it was Nintendo's idea to release the game outside of Japan). If the game does well, Itadaki Street PSP may be released stateside. It's a Wonderful World is coming stateside next year as well.
13) Next year, I'm looking forward to Brutal Legend, Blocks, LMNO, Alive, Hail to the Chimp, Alan Wake, Prince of Persia, Heavy Rain, fl0wer, Getaway, Duke Nukem Forever (not that I cared for the previous games, but you have to wonder what was done with ten years of development), Max Payne 3, thatgamecompany's third PS3 game, The Outsider, Lego Batman, Pain, No More Heroes, Mushroom Men, Spore, as well as I few others I have forgotten.
14) Capcom character could happen in SSBB (I'd say Mega Man, who has his own Wii-exclusive coming next year), but a Square character seems highly unlikely.
15) Ghostbusters game is coming 2009, likely not being developed by ZootFly, and is coming to PS360 and possibly Wii.
16) Street Fighter IV is 2d/3d/cell-shaded on the PS360.
17) A new PSP is three or four years away
18) Beyond Good & Evil 2 is coming is PS360Wii.
19) Activision has a title that supports the Wii Zapper coming in the near future.
20) Factor 5 would like to develop for Wii, but there are not any concrete plans for a title.

Max Payne 3? Twisted Metal for the PLAYSTATION 3? Beyond Good & Evil 2? Sounds like it's gonna be a good year.
