Jane: You think their afraid?

Dave: I think their bringing diapers to the show. I think they're... you know...

Jesus, did he really say that? Diapers? Common, really, that kind of think you would harldy expect some 12 year old ****** on an internet forum to say. I would have expected from, I assume, a highly educated game dev a bit more sophisticated trashtalking and not kindregarden level remarks ...

You can compare David Jaffe with 12 year old "ph@n80ys" (I hope that makes it through the filter) when 12 year olds deliver one of the more important games of the last 5 years.

Programmers, game developers... they're like the ultimate nerds, do you really expect a nerd to have highly sophisticated communication skills and well developed manners
Educated he may be, but he's not like a head of a multinational corporation who's educated on smooth PR talk.

Edit: After reading his blog... yes, I think the guy was maybe a bit drunk while giving the tinterview.
I recommend you do not read it if you are sensitive to harsh language

This is why IMO we have games that are rushed, are becoming less groundbreaking (more clones), and mostly built on hype. I for one DO care about what a company promises or "advertises" (and I have held off on buying a console due to it) and make sure to remind them when they dont deliver. We need to hold MS, Sony, Nintendo or whoever accountable for what they are promising to produce. Again IMO all the companies mentioned above are only becoming worse and we as consumers let them off to easily for their "misleading" statements about games or hardware etc. For example: I have always felt that if a developer or console maker chooses to use CGI trailers then by all means use them. Just dont refer or insinuate they are in game play due to using the game engine etc. (which we all know can be argued in number of different ways). I'm sure I am in the minority of this thinking (and holding a grudge ) but I can tell you that if many more people protested to which ever console maker or developer (from words to their hard earned $$) then these companies might be more forthcoming (well a little more ).

Then again in this day in age I really dont see that happening.

Sorry for the Babble just back from Gal-Bladder surgery

It's a bit of a double edged sword. We crave early info yet we go crazy over delays and changes. I think if a game is not ready it should be delayed as opposed to rushed. I personally like getting early info on games but I understand it's all subject to change.

As for the CG stuff I think next gen. games will look similar, especially in-engine cut scenes. Many things we have seen in real-time offer similar quality to what has been done in those CG trailers; the thing to remember is that they use camera angles and animations that will not be available in game.

To me the most impressive ps3 thing was the guy from Spiderman and that was real-time. It seemed to have far more expensive effects than what is needed for killzone if you ignore the insane levels of AA.

Doesnt change the fact that he talks like a 12 year old brat. I have seen a lot of people act like total asses especially in the universities and some of them had phds etc. but couldnt communicate properly and were very hostile. Having a PHD or in this case being a game designer does not give you a free pass to act very immaturely.

Its smack talk from an intelligent man, far above that of which a 12year old brat could achieve.
Jaffe is seperate from KK/Allard/Moore (etc.) because when he says shit he doesn't sound like a corporate shill (although he almost certainly is).

If there's any difference between first gen PS3 games and second gen 360 games, it probably will say something. (One could argue we've already seen )

Oh ya...and that would be a really strong argument.

The HDDVD demo surprised me. I didn't expect it so soon (assuming they showed working hardware)...

I was curious about this too. imagine if they HD-DVD addon came with an extra large hard drive for music downloads, High def movie downloads, and general media server- ish features? that would be pretty cool...

nono, you use your pc. that way you can distribute throughout your home to many displays, and not affect your gaming while doing it.

although, it would be nice to get a 120gb HDD and fill it with content if you were going on a trip or something.

just wait till vista gets here. vista + directTV..i have good feeling about
