GAMING NEWSJaffe Explains GDC Pull-OutPosted on Monday, March 7 @ 10:39:41 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff
Unfortunately, that never happened. Twisted Metal's GDC showing was pulled from the schedule last Monday. Literally, Jaffe and company pulled their game from the conference at the last possible moment. Jaffe explained the move on his blog yesterday: There were a ton of awesome announcements and showings at GDC but would Twisted Metal benefit from coverage "away from the bombast of the epic story based games and announcements/displays of next-gen tech" that much? When I think about it, Twisted Metal's GDC showing was scheduled for 8 o'clock on Wednesday night. Here's a few tips to get Twisted Metal that much needed time and attention: Give journalists a good two hours with the game on Wednesday night. That's plenty of hands-on time and attention. Next: have no embargo. Nearly everything I saw at GDC had an embargo for Friday or Monday. With a ton of time playing the game and the ability to write and post something that night, Twisted Metal would have had plenty of space to itself. Showing off the game despite it being sandwiched in between all of those big announcements sure would have gone a long way towards showing how Twisted Metal is "really fun and really special in today's market." This particular moment of enlightenment also really busted all the fun we were having about issues Jaffe and Sony could be having after Jaffe's comments about Twisted Metal flopping were taken out of context. Oh well! I guess we'll have to wait until Jaffe rolls up to the Game Revolution offices or E3 (where there will be ZERO big announcements or epic story based games, right?).
