Jaffe Doesn’t Like Lying, but You Gotta Do What You Gotta Do
Those of you reading this who aren’t nerds will know that college football coaches are in tough spots when they’re thinking of changing schools. They get hounded constantly by the press about it, and if they tell everybody they’re thinking of going somewhere else people at their schools hate them, and if they say they have no interest in another job and then leave everyone says they’re liars, like my beloved Coach Nick Saban, King of the Crimson Tide. There’s actually game stuff after the jump.
This is kinda like what David Jaffe has been doing all year when he kept saying there was no Twisted Metal PS3 game in the works, and then, whoops, there was. “And people say to me, ‘Well, you could have said no comment.’ I’m like, ‘No comment is the same as saying… it’s what people say when they don’t want to answer you,’ ” he told Joystiq. And I don’t blame him. It’s not a surprise if it’s not a surprise, right?
And I like his reasoning for wanting it to be a surprise. “And it used to be you’d come and you didn’t know what you were going to find on the show floor and that was a big part of the fun and you walk from booth to booth and you just discover stuff.” I agree, Dave. Keep fighting the good fight, if it means we get crazy surprises at E3.
