Video interview w/ David Jaffe on God of War 3

Which is to say, when GameTrailers asked him what’s up with God of War 3, David Jaffe says that he’s opened his notebook and started jotting ideas down “four days ago”. But that doesn’t mean they’re in development now! (a) Team’s busy concentrating on God of War 2. (Deux), no money from Sony yet. But (iii) if the reception for Kratos Part II is good, perhaps there will be a go-ahead for the Third, and all those paper ideas may finally see the Blu-Ray light of day.

The rest of the interview reveals a lot about David Jaffe the man and the developer, and not just David Jaffe as the mad mind (and loud mouth) behind God of War. Hear his opinions on the SIXAXIS, and the Wiimote; hear his gratitude to Microsoft for Xbox Live‘s trailblazing, and his hopes that PlayStation Network will be just as good – or even better.

Oh, and hear him describe himself as a “B-level game designer (“Okay, C”) who’s not arrogant, who’s not cocky”, and who only comes off like that because when guys who shove a microphone in his face ask for his opinion, he gives it. And his love for the guys at NeoGAF. That is one healthy ego behind that mad mind (and the loud mouth). And note that he’s saying all this, plus the Wii and 360 stuff, with someone from SCEA Marketing by his side. That is one HEALTHY ego from SCE-Santa Monica. Wonder what they put in the water up there.
