Earlier this week we learned that David Jaffe would be leaving Twisted Metal developer Eat Sleep Play to pursue a more causal side of video game development. Now, sitting down on the DICE 2012 edition of the Joystiq Show, Jaffe has revealed what lies in his future.
“I will be with Eat Sleep Play until we finish what’s called the ‘maintenance contract’ we have and have been working on with Sony. That will allow us, post-launch, to stay and address issues that there’s no way we can know of. Cleaning things up in terms of balance, bugs, tuning, tweaks.”
This ‘maintenance contract’ runs until the end of March.
“There’s no corporate filings, there’s no official company name yet; 99 percent of my day is Twisted Metal right now. There’s four games
I would love to do, the one I do really depends on the team I can put together and the money that I can find to make it.” From the sounds of this, Jaffe has had his exit planned for quite a while now.
Jaffe recently sat down with Game Informer and revealed that there are no DLC or sequel plans for Twisted Metal. However, this doesn’t mean he has left the series for good.
“You never know what the future holds, I’d love to make another Twisted down the road with these guys one day, if that opportunity presents itself.”
