And these days Greg doesn't even want to speak to Jaffe. That's sad. Yeah, Jaffe is very straightforward. But he is really honest, he's not a slime ball. To bad he doesn't make games anymore. But I'm loving his podcasts these days!
What a great interview and show, which just demonstrates the passion, honesty, humour and caliber of both IGN and David Jaffe. Loved the blend of comedy with the discussion of topics. Very informative and entertaining. I already had high respect of Jaffe and of course Greg, but this interview just shows how genuine they both really are. Thanks IGN for delivering this free to the masses and thanks David for always thinking about the community first... BEYOND!
It would be great to see this extended version of the interviews as its own show. Each week, one game director, one on one with Greg. Could be a great talk show.
IGN is something else. Look at those posters in the background, showing what all the PS3 games would look like if they were games for the Atari 2600. To me, that's real proof that nobody on IGN's staff has ever played a game on the Atari 2600.
Agree. I would blame the artist who did them though, not IGN specifically. I wouldnt pay an artist for work and not display it (unless it really sucked)
It's so shocking and fresh to see someone so open and honest like Mr. Jaffe. Never holds back on what he thinks or censors himself and I never get a whif of bullshit from him. He lays everything out in the open and if you don't like it, fuck off. I highly respect him for that and I think he's definitely one of the most interesting people in the business. He's absolutely right about why people are fat, me being just that.
David Jaffe is absolutely awesome. Been playing his games since Twisted Metal 2. I've still got my original copy for the PS1. Can't wait for Twisted Metal to come out on the 14th.
David Jaffe is one of those developers who gamers know is going to put out the best product possible because this is what he loves. It's obvious he loves video games just as much as the rest of us, and that's awesome that he doesn't hide behind his PR curtain all the time. He's there, with us.
@MonkersX It's not that stories in games suck. What he meant is that when a game attempts to devote their time into the story but a little on gameplay, if that story sucked then what else do you have? Honestly most people that play Call of Duty don't really give a crap about the story and just want to have fun with their friends to kick ass. Sometimes a game doesn't really need a good story to drive people in. People didn't play games 15-30 years ago because of a story, they wanted to have fun.
@MonkersX But honestly, the best stories of Twisted Metal were in Twisted Metal Black. They might not be the best stories but they were definately dark and a bit evil. Seriously though, Twisted Metal is more or so loved for it's gameplay, the stories are an added bonus and they seem much better than previous installments since I saw a live video of people in machinima playing it and you can really see a difference.
Great interview he seems like a great guy and I dislike the online pass like jaffe said in a roundabout way it hurts the used market but I under stand why they do it so no hard feelings hope to see a twisted metal 2 you rock jaffe a 17 year twisted metal fan salutes and praises you please don't let this series die!
@CornFleeaX Don't worry about Jaffe he knows how to deal with it, they actually talk about that kind of stuff towards the ending of the interview, they're just messing with eachother...
Why were most of the informative parts edited out? The actual show just showed the fat discussion and the awkwardness of the couch. This was a really good interview, but I never would've realized that without seeing the extended one.
Online passes are fine in theory... as long as the internet connection is consistent and strong enough. Failing this, online passes become a major issue, getting in the way of enjoying the games we purchased...
I gotta be honest I was aware of Twisted Metal but I wasn't that bothered by it. After watching this I think I'm gonna get it. I like Jaffe's honesty it's refreshing and good to see... Awesome interview, I really am liking the START channel. BEYOND!!! xD
@15thCrypt I'm not saying it's the same as pirating. I'm saying as far as the developers/publishers care, it is the same. It doesn't matter whether they're pirating or buying used games, the creators don't get money at all. If a game has online features, then the creators need to spend money on the servers and stuff. New game buyers will be paying for the servers while used game buyers will be getting the game cheaper and not have to pay for them. It's unfair to the developers.
It's not just like a used car. It's like a used ANYTHING else you can buy. DVD's, CD's, Records, China, T.V's, Furniture, Cars, Toys, Cell Phones....The list goes on and on. I guess video games are special?
Twisted metal still has the potential I've been a twisted metal fan when i was a kid, but to be quite honest, the last one just didn't have that same kind of feel for some reason.. I'd really like to see a new twisted metal though.
The day gaming goes completely digital is the day i quit. I want my games to be on a disc i can keep. The industry needs to stop this push for all digital everything. Im not the only one who feels this way either.
Still fuck with the beats, still not loving police Still rock my khakis with a cuff and a crease Still got love for the streets, reppin' 213 (For life) Still the beats bang, still doing my thang Since I left ain't too much changed, still I'm representing for them gangstas all across the world Still hitting them corners in them lo-lo's, girl (Still taking my time to perfect the beat And I still got love for the streets, it's the D-R-E) Still Jaffe!
I don't mind about online passes because games with online multiplayer I tend to purchase them at launch because I want to play with people that are at the same level as me right when I get it. If i was to buy the game later in 5 month I wouldn't enjoy online as much as I would at launch because I people would be owning me. Only games that I would buy used are the single player games only like god of war for example.
I'm fine with online passes as long as it's included with new copies. I completely understand and support online passes with used games as long as the combination of the used price/online pass are still under the price of new. Example new game is $60 used game is $20-35 with online pass being $5-10. I think that would be perfectly acceptable. That way all parties are getting a deal, Gamerob I mean gamestop get's their cut, developers are getting money and the consumer pays less.
@joevictor53 its not just about buying things at launch though for example, a game after a year or so might just hit 20 bucks used but new would be about 26 bucks yes, 6 is not a lot of money but sometimes people just dont have enough which is why people like me would buy things used & there was that time about 2 years ago when used games were more expensive so I bought new games instead I have no problem buying new games & pre-order sometimes but 15 for a pass just cuz it was used is messed up
I personally love twisted metal. I got the game and I'm amazing at it. I learn new mechanics every time I play. The game is extremely addictive, just give it a chance. If only I had the money to buy the game.
I didn't much like online passes untill this video and I still don't really like them but I respect them alot more. and can some one please answer me this: do you have to buy an online pass only once or is it once per year???
@15thCrypt (cont) online credit, in the end thats kinda wasting money because if you have ANY credit leftover and have nothing left to buy it feels a bit like you wasted that few bucks I know not everyone buys dlcs, Im one of them (most dlc dont seem like a big deal to me) also youll see I never said they make enough money, I try to stay away from that excuse as much as possible, I just said they get some extra money from dlc I understand the reason they do this and I do sympathize with them in
@joevictor53 I never said age was an actual matter I said EXAMPLE, I used a certain age as an example to how some gamers just cant afford things, as a result its unfair to both parties when are there never any new games around? lots of times, unless the game is like a year or 2 old (and even then) every copy out might be used, that is the cases a lot in some stores and in order to buy stuff online you either need a credit card (which once again, becomes annoying for some ages) or buy cards worth
@orwell9788 I guess I should have utilized my space more to expand and say that by the time I would be purchasing a game used it would be at that price (20-35). I wasn't trying to say that the used price is that low on release day. We all know that Gamestop only drops the price by $5 which isn't worth it. I'd rather the money went to the developers. I'm a patient person and very few games call for preorder. I'm also an older gamer so much of my funds go to bills.
@15thCrypt (cont) Also, so what if they're only 14? When I was 14, I only bought about 2-3 games a year. They can save up money they get like pocket money or money they get for birthdays, etc. When are there never any new games around? I can understand if you're talking about old games from 2 or 3 generations ago but not relatively new games. Everything from this generation is available new online. Not everyone buys DLC. They already have enough money? The same excuse pirates use?
funny how jaffee promoted the heck out of twisted metal and when the game launched he jumps ship. don't get me wrong, i had it pre-ordered and played it for about a month, even now i play it once a week. it's just that why couldn't sony, ESP, somebody fix the online.
The algorithm blessed me and now you.
The same
I love it.
Today's my day
Jaffe has aged 30 years in under a decade
I really envy David Jaffe. He has no filter, and he says what is on his mind you gotta respect that.
And these days Greg doesn't even want to speak to Jaffe. That's sad. Yeah, Jaffe is very straightforward. But he is really honest, he's not a slime ball. To bad he doesn't make games anymore. But I'm loving his podcasts these days!
Love both of em....
Jaffe Has Looks so young here 9 years makes a pretty massive difference.
Please keep posting these extended versions, totally worth watching
Jaffe has 2 of the best games on the early playstations. That’s amazing.
Twisted Metal.
God of War.
@Fear Kratos who's those two next to David?are they still in the business
What a great interview and show, which just demonstrates the passion, honesty, humour and caliber of both IGN and David Jaffe. Loved the blend of comedy with the discussion of topics.

It would be great to see this extended version of the interviews as its own show. Each week, one game director, one on one with Greg. Could be a great talk show.
Lol, I'm not really surprised about the f-bomb warning with Papa Jaffe being on the stage (baby Jaffe in this case, I guess)
Go to his YT channel. He swears all the time
Holy shit I had no idea this is what Jaffe looked like a decade ago. He is a grey old man now ! Still has the same exact tendencies though.
I love Jaffe's no-bullshit attitude. He seems to really speak his mind.
IGN is something else. Look at those posters in the background, showing what all the PS3 games would look like if they were games for the Atari 2600. To me, that's real proof that nobody on IGN's staff has ever played a game on the Atari 2600.

best up at noon interview ever! never gets old
David Jaffe is fucking awesome.
that was a great interview Greg, the best one i have seen with jaffe good job
This is pretty funny lol. I liked Greg and David's chemistry. Jaffe, love him or hate him, is one of the most entertaining dudes in the business.
Dropping a Beyond! into Up at Noon? Probably the best advertising Podcast Beyond! could get.
Start is the best thing IGN has created in a long time
Brilliant interview! Really really liked it!
HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE TWISTED METAL!!!!!!
IT FUCKIN ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!
@carlos2240182 He wasn't fired, he left Eat Sleep Play himself. He is making a new Studio in San Diego after Twisted Metal comes out.
really involved and hilarious interview loved it!
It's so shocking and fresh to see someone so open and honest like Mr. Jaffe. Never holds back on what he thinks or censors himself and I never get a whif of bullshit from him.

David Jaffe is absolutely awesome. Been playing his games since Twisted Metal 2. I've still got my original copy for the PS1. Can't wait for Twisted Metal to come out on the 14th.
great video as always
I would watch literally ANYTHING with Greg Miller in it. I could watch him eat cereal and be giggling hysterically.
BEYOND!
great fun to watch. Keep entertaining us Greg.
David Jaffe is one of those developers who gamers know is going to put out the best product possible because this is what he loves. It's obvious he loves video games just as much as the rest of us, and that's awesome that he doesn't hide behind his PR curtain all the time. He's there, with us.
awesome interview!! BEYOND!!!!!
My favorite franchise and my favorite developer! Aside from subturannian it is definitely my #2 game.
I want one of those background posters
David Jaffe was a great guest. Keep em coming IGN!
Keep up the good work guys. The world needs more high quality video game coverage. Don't let those producers tell you its too long.
HOLY SHIT... Jaffe actually said BEYOND! This will be a day to remember. One for the history books.
Is it still possible to join the demo at this stage?
Someone please help me out here.
I know this is pretty much impossible, but if Greggy can get Miyamoto on here, I will worship him forever.
"Its not 1995, why should I care about Twisted Metal" Thats why I love Greg Miller, he asks questions I would ask.
Lol, David Jaffe breaks the fourth wall repeatedly. Love this guy. Love the game!
this will be my first time playing twisted metal but im really loking forward to it BEYOOOOND!
Is it still possible to join the demo at this stage?
We used to have Twisted Metals battles back in the days. We used to play for hours. I can;t wait for Twisted Metal
@MonkersX It's not that stories in games suck.

19:55 I replayed that part a million times lol.
I wish more game developers were this interesting and funny in interviews.
Great interview he seems like a great guy and I dislike the online pass like jaffe said in a roundabout way it hurts the used market but I under stand why they do it so no hard feelings hope to see a twisted metal 2 you rock jaffe a 17 year twisted metal fan salutes and praises you please don't let this series die!
@CornFleeaX Don't worry about Jaffe he knows how to deal with it, they actually talk about that kind of stuff towards the ending of the interview, they're just messing with eachother...
this was a great interview, i really enjoyed it. and shout out to Jaffe, made me laugh pretty hard
Nice interview.
Why were most of the informative parts edited out? The actual show just showed the fat discussion and the awkwardness of the couch. This was a really good interview, but I never would've realized that without seeing the extended one.
Freakin love this interview!
Online passes are fine in theory... as long as the internet connection is consistent and strong enough. Failing this, online passes become a major issue, getting in the way of enjoying the games we purchased...
This was a quality interview. Jaffe is a genius.

That BEYOND healed a long hurt.
David's great, he's such a humble guy.

hey u still watchin this
It's not just like a used car. It's like a used ANYTHING else you can buy. DVD's, CD's, Records, China, T.V's, Furniture, Cars, Toys, Cell Phones....The list goes on and on. I guess video games are special?
Twisted metal still has the potential
I've been a twisted metal fan when i was a kid, but to be quite honest, the last one just didn't have that same kind of feel for some reason..

Let the man talk as long as he wants ffs! The interview is too short, want more of David Jaffe! Hilarious! Good job, Greg!
"u dont know me dave jaffe!!!" LOL xD
I love David Jaffe! Getting Twisted Metal for sure
Also the guy on the very right of the couch looks like a young version of Jeff Goldbloom hahahahaha
Twisted Metal forever
Still fuck with the beats, still not loving police
Still rock my khakis with a cuff and a crease
Still got love for the streets, reppin' 213 (For life)
Still the beats bang, still doing my thang
Since I left ain't too much changed, still
I'm representing for them gangstas all across the world
Still hitting them corners in them lo-lo's, girl
(Still taking my time to perfect the beat
And I still got love for the streets, it's the D-R-E)
Still Jaffe!
The best argument against used games was on last week's Beyond
Why does Jaffe remind me so much of an older Jeremy Renner
jaffe is just straight up a cool entertaining dude
EPIC INTERVIEW!!! And that BEYOND! Was fucking epic.
11:00
A good game is made and upheld by a great developing team.
This is why this one is so great.
Twisted Metal coming back is great it's a genre that needed to come back in this saturated market of shooters
I don't mind about online passes because games with online multiplayer I tend to purchase them at launch because I want to play with people that are at the same level as me right when I get it. If i was to buy the game later in 5 month I wouldn't enjoy online as much as I would at launch because I people would be owning me. Only games that I would buy used are the single player games only like god of war for example.
Greg should interview Ken Levine from Irrational Games
He definitely just shit when he asked that too, check the tense up for the last minute save attempt.
Jaffe is so fun to listen to.
wow they cut out so much
I'm fine with online passes as long as it's included with new copies. I completely understand and support online passes with used games as long as the combination of the used price/online pass are still under the price of new.

I have no problem buying new games & pre-order sometimes but 15 for a pass just cuz it was used is messed up
Beyonnd! This should've been the pilot episode 4sure!
Back when you could curse on IGN
Jaffe is the best man. I'm going to go try the Twisted Metal Beta right now. BEYOND!
I personally love twisted metal. I got the game and I'm amazing at it. I learn new mechanics every time I play. The game is extremely addictive, just give it a chance. If only I had the money to buy the game.

Huge Twisted Metal fan. TM: Black, in my opinion, was one of the best PS2 games I played.
@15thCrypt (cont) online credit, in the end thats kinda wasting money because if you have ANY credit leftover and have nothing left to buy it feels a bit like you wasted that few bucks
I know not everyone buys dlcs, Im one of them (most dlc dont seem like a big deal to me)
also youll see I never said they make enough money, I try to stay away from that excuse as much as possible, I just said they get some extra money from dlc
I understand the reason they do this and I do sympathize with them in
I for one am getting Twisted Metal
YES!! HE FINALLY SAID IT!! BEYOND!!
Omg - Jaffe said beyond!!!!!! Impossible
HE SAID BEYOND!!!
@joevictor53 I never said age was an actual matter
I said EXAMPLE, I used a certain age as an example to how some gamers just cant afford things, as a result its unfair to both parties
when are there never any new games around? lots of times, unless the game is like a year or 2 old (and even then) every copy out might be used, that is the cases a lot in some stores and in order to buy stuff online you either need a credit card (which once again, becomes annoying for some ages) or buy cards worth
i created a twitter just in order to follow david
This guy is a Rockstar

"Did you just shit!?"
there is truth behind every joke, if greggy boy had ripped abs he would not be calling him fat
