THAT'S IT FOR NOW...SEE YOU SOON.

Well the last few posts have caused more of a stir than I had hoped. One day I will learn my lesson: that people don't read the whole post, hell people don't tend to read the post at all, but rather a truncated version of the post posted on another website with just the part of the post that is inflamitory enough to get the haters in a tizzy and get hits on the site(s) in question.

But that's ok; I mean, it's the net right? You take the good with the bad; and I've had a hell of a lot of good from it and for that- as well as for the bad- I am grateful.

But for the time being, I'm going to go dark. My stylings have upset some folks within the biz I care very much about and that I can not live with. For me, it's always been silly, stupid fun...you know, giving what I get, talking like alot of folks on geeky message boards do, trash talking,etc. But I guess some folks have taken it to heart and that's not cool for me. End of the day, even the folks who spew much venom my way, I probably would like very much in real life. As I've said before, we're all geeks and if you can't get along with a fellow geek, then what's the point.

Anyway, so CAC is coming out...soon? I dunno. It's done, so I'm just waiting now for the official word. I'm sure you'll see the press release when Sony lets it out. But I will be playing online for sure, so hope to see you guys in the game!

But you know, I gotta get off a final parting shot before I go:

TO THE LAME ASS WEBSITE THAT SHALL GO UNNAMED- Fuck you, guys. Go fuck yourselves. What other developer makes a fucking change to a game when a review (IGN's in this case) has a good, valid point and is willing to open the fucking code up at the risk of more bugs to make the game better? Amazing.But hey, you guys are great, you guys rock. I hope Kotaku fucking puts your ass out of business, wanna be fucktards. And if you were actual journalists you would have read the motherfucking quote I posted on NEOGAF where I said because of the two bugs we needed to fix (not because I was afraid of the bargin bin) we had a window of opp. to fix the magnet problem. Assholes...total fucking assholes.

Ok, that's it. I will be back soon with an announcement and the next stage of this blog (and my life!) I'll post the news- assuming it all happens as planed...you never know- sometime this summer. I'll keep ya'll posted as the blog will remain open. Nothing set in stone, but the hope is to let you guys know what is up sometime in July.

Take it easy, have a GREAT first part of the summer. I will miss you guys!

David

ps. oh and JUST to make it CLEAR since it doesn't seem to be: I like GAMESPOT, have respect for them, always have. Hell I pay for the damn thing every year. I don't agree with the review but I've always dug the folks over there and continue to do so. Hope they will like our next game alot more!

David Jaffe,

I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!!! OMG. I had so much fun tonight playing with all of my friends. It makes me want to run out right now and get a second controller so me and my buddy can play coop online.

Anonymous said...

not sure if you still check this posts Dave but I love the game.

been playing it all day and can't get enough. its so nice to finally have a game like this for the ps3 (or sony for that matter). it always seemed like xbox or nintendo always had options for these kind of party games.

anywho, online name is "Mango". hope to see you online.
cheers

Good show santa monica studios. I only played for about an hour last night, but it was a blast. I was even smiling when my non gaming future wife beat my ass on her first try...

Dave, just wanted to say that CAC is hilariously fun! I was laughing out loud the whole time playing it. Oh and the front-end: Who did it? I like the characters expressions when you make a selection - too funny. Online is a blast (I got pwnd bad). The artwork and music is irresistible and the gameplay is over the top frantic.

Great game David and everyone on the team.

David and all that worked on CAC,

I downloaded Calling All Cars! today, (as well as PS1's Jumping Flash!, but that's another story).

The first game I played was offline and was Single Play. When I first play them, I normally am unintentionally critical of "casual" games like this since I tend to favor bigger, single-player focused games, but CAC! managed to be fun from the start. I normally don't do this, but the second game I played I went straight online, even if I had no experience with it. Usually with games I spend a lot of time in single player modes before I feel confident enough to go online, but I am glad CAC! didn't force me to do this.

I like how simple it is, since all the moves my car can make are learned from the start and then all I have to do is play the game, instead of worrying about learning more of the game before I can feel competitive when I play against others.

PS3 officially dusted off!

Good job, guys!

~ Carlos

hey guys, quick question. whats the deal with the games with password requirments?

MW said...

So, you can't save this game? I play two matches in One-Player mode in a row, and the game doesn't save for me. So, all of my effort is lost when I cut the system off... I don't get it.

Carlos M. said...

Mango, I'm assuming they're private games, although I haven't tried going to one of them so I'm just guessing.

only saves a completed tournament. its only 4 maps so keep trying ;)

but another weird thing is that the ps3 switch over to 4:3 when playing on a SDTV? No problems with other games, BD or downloaded, really strange..?

small games are cool but bigger games are cooler and everybody know that...

Mr. Jaffe,

Would you please comment on the game sharing feature that the PS3 allows? There is some confusion over what users can and can't do with sharing.

Do you support this? Does this result in fewer sales in your opinion? Is it stealing in your opinion?

Here is an article on it:

Many thanks,

Scott

I think you did a GREAT job, David! I haven't had this much fun with a game in a long, long time. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy all the great games out there, but with CAC, you can just pick it up, round up some friends and/or head online and have a great time. VERY well executed and can't wait until you open up again!

I have faith in you. Keep doing what you love.

Nino Mojo said...

David Jaffe's problem is that he's an adult making games that are played by a lot of people, including immature teenage morons, and his work and views get judged by them too.

I love your work David, and I love that you're so honest.

Jaffe you tosser, I enjoyed reading your site. Come back! :P

If I had a dime for each time that I heard them preach... Well I'd have wicked thoughts upon my brain

Joel said...

i think its about time you restart your blog again.

haha. maybe just steer clear of gaming news and stuff that gets peoples blood boiling for a while.


remember the post about going antique shopping.


why dont you do some of those for a while.

and then slowly creep back to gaming news.

seems like a perfect plan!

David--WTF, you were my fav geek of all time!!! Just read something about you and the Oscars and all 2 of your friends, so true! But at least you got me to eat that apple in front of a camera for that short film contest. Write me back, nerd! --Tracy (of course it was Singer) Diziere

hahaha, some of you are actually calling out joystiq for writing an accurate article? they use similies and metaphors for everything, that's their fucking style. And swearing off blogs cuz of one post makes me laugh even more, it's like a stupid women trying to give the silent treatment, but the husband just ignores her till she crawls back and realizes she was being stupid.

Excellent website. Good work. Very useful. I will bookmark!

GoW was mediocre. A hormone-driven 13-year-old boy's wet dream. The only difference here is that this situation has shown that Jaffe is more of a whiny, self-important bitch than most 13-year-olds.

Nice temper tantrum. Good luck riding the GoW franchise into the ground.

Hey! Shut up, loose bowels.
Gee! You are just a fucking stupid shit in the asshole.

What a crybaby. Calling All Cars is a bad game. Burger King's Big Bumpin is better.

to quote SEGABastard:

Why bow down to this lunatic? Is God of War really so great that it justifies this dude acting like a 13 year old GameFAQs dumbass?

Unknown said...

I just a PS3 2 weeks ago and stumble upon this game.

WTH this game rocks.. .I really want more CAC expansion/maps what have you.. whoever said a bad thing about this game doesn't know anything about games. I'm glad you ranted against them.

Now back to more CAC! stuff please :) I ran and bought 2 more controllers so everyone can play 4 player madness!

Hi David or Mr. Jaffe or whatever you prefer to be called! I am a huge fan of yours. Not just because of your incredible games but because of your personality. I don't care what anyone says...You fuckin rock man!! Keep being real and personable despite the "haters" out there. Also, don't let those fuckin reviews rile you up. Those reviewer assholes don't know the stress, care, and work that goes behind making a game, nor do they understand or care about what the individual designer may be going through at the time. But anyway...I have a question. What kind of advice do you have for someone trying to break into the gaming industry? Now take into consideration that I live in Houston, Texas...i.e. no game developer opportunities.
