Shocked the GoW and Twisted Metal guy is a manchild. Loved those series but glad video game narrative is slowly evolving past that.
I think there's a place for campy bullshit, it just shouldn't be the main mode of operation
we need at least one more good twisted metal before the industry is allowed to move on.
We need a norse GoW style reboot of it because that would be an insane trainwreck, so perfect
Don’t even mention it, my hopes are up now. Not cool lol.
I genuinely enjoyed the Twisted Metal tv series, so I won't complain too loudly.
There's definitely still a place for man-child gamelets full of exploding corpses and blood-drenched screens. But when your franchise is 20 years old, your target audience isn't going to be horny teenagers anymore.
His problem is that he's also an old dude. He doesn't know how to make a game that appeals to a bunch of horny teenagers anymore, because he still conceives of "horny teenager" through the '90s/'00s era lens and not the '10s/'20s revival. Jaffe will never make the Vaporwave Transfem-Catgirl FALGSC climate apocolypse game that the modern generation craves. So he either has to mint off the Millennial Greek Classic nerds who all grew up and turned into family guys or retire to his mansion in SoCal and give up on releasing another platinum title.
