David Jaffe Speaks on PS4 & Xbox 720

A man who needs no introduction, David Jaffe has made known his stance on what’s to come with a new generation of consoles. 

When asked “if he was ready” for the next wave of consoles, he said, “I couldn’t care less about next-gen. I started at Sony Imagesoft doing Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis games, and I went through that to PS1, then PS2, PS3, Vita… You go through the cycle enough and you realize today’s ‘Oh my fucking God’ is tomorrow’s ‘Ehh, whatever’.

Though, he did hold back his harsh words for one area of gaming – A.I.

"Ultimately, this is all going to be yesterday's news and it's about the experience, the game. Unless we're talking about holodecks, or AI that's so amazing it can actually write a compelling story around you procedurally based on your choices, I'm not interested."

David Jaffe has been hop-skotching around the industry lately, and he’s already announced that he will be leaving developer Eat, Sleep, Play after Twisted Metal releases around the world.

Mr. Jaffe’s next move will definitely be an interesting one, but he has a knack for being in the right place at the right time.
