Jaffe committed to casual games...
David Jaffe’s best known as the director of God of War, but it’s smaller downloadable games such as his upcoming Calling All Cars that have won him over as a developer.
Addressing negative pre-release criticism from gamers about Calling All Cars, Jaffe wrote in his blog, “I'm no longer interested in going head to head with the likes of Halo, Mass Effect, Resistance, Devil May Cry 4, etc. Hell, I don't even want to go head to head against our own GOD OF WAR. I just want to do smaller, simpler games that focus on the fun.” “So regarding those [negative] comments, if they come from folks who have never even thought—and never will think—about giving arcade and casual games a shot, then I really don't care that Calling All Cars is not floating their boat.” Recent interviews with Jaffe also have revealed for his newfound attraction to development of smaller games. “…We are going to work our butts off to make you love our smaller, downloadable stuff,” he added. Jaffe also said that games such as Mario Kart, Elite Beat Agents, Diner Dash and Bookworm are his “new competition.”
