David Jaffe Creates New Studio, Partners With Sony 13
njkid1 writes "David Jaffe is now the former Creative Director for SCEA Santa Monica Studios. He's confirmed rumours that he was revving up his own studio, and has partnered with Incognito's Scott Campbell to form a group called 'Eat, Sleep, Play'. The company has partnered exclusively with SCEA on a multi-year, multi-title deal 'to create titles for the PlayStation family of products, with the first slated for release in 2008.' It will be based out of Utah (cheap rent), and Jaffe notes that they did ask around with other companies before partnering with Sony. Their first title will be Twisted Metal: Head On for the PS2. The title will use some unreleased material from the last Twisted Metal title, and combine that with a documentary on the series."
So their first title... (Score:5, Funny)

Probably the reason they went with a Twisted Metal sequel is to make easy money. This is the same with every publisher. After one title under their belt along with some slush funds, they can proceed with a creative/risky venture.
OR... they realize people buy sequels and proceed with more of the same in order to generate even _more_ easy money. Risky venture, easy money, risky venture easy money... hmmmm I'm sure they'll have a really tough time deciding.
(doesn't apply to all developers, but definitely to most of them)
