I think Jaffe is just fucking around.
Yup.

Was just about to say this. Darksiders has him beaten to the punch and its awesome.

What I was gonna say.

Considering there's a serious lack of story driven coop games out there these days I would be down with that part at least. God of War may not be the best choice for it though and the annoying character thing doesn't seem overly viable in the way that someone would actually want to be anything other then P1.
Honestly, the ending he's describing would leave me with a very bad taste in my mouth.
It's like Jak and Daxter, except with Jak killing Daxter at the end.
Lol, already spreading around I see.

First post etc etc
Although there's still a chance this game could have co-op. I'm hoping not but we'll see.

Why does anyone still listen to this guy? He's got an opinion for EVERYTHING and could probably have spent less time talking and more time making sure Twisted Metal PS3 was actually, you know, worthy of the series.

I'm genuinely curious what about coop people think is a bad thing for any game. It can easily be done in a way that doesn't harm the single player experience whatsoever and only brings positive things to the game for the people that wish to play the coop.
This is the kind of mentality that has led to a real crappy lack of good online coop story based games this gen and it sucks as someone who loves coop in any game.

This seems like a backhanded comment about the direction God of War has taken...

I love the reactions Jaffe's opinions get out of people. Dude is responsible for two highly regarded Sony IPs yet every time he expresses an opinion, people give him shit for it.

If by different myths, he means whole other mythologies, like whole other pantheons of Gods and mythical creatures and world views, then I like the sound of that in an action game. I've always liked that sort of mythical matchup approach, like with Rise of Legends or Age of Mythology. I think he's just referring to other bits so far unused by the franchise.
These next few months will be a clusterfuck trying to decipher who is being facetious just to stir shit up and who is earnestly completely crazy about a product of entertainment. Fun times!

So basically Darksiders.
Because he made two IPs, everybody should never disagree with what he says? Not that I agree or disagree with things he says.
I love it.
I'm of the belief that you can't have a good story based experience with co-op. You have to find someone who plays just like you and it's just easier to focus on the game when someone else is not there.
I know some will disagree with that but that's just me. Someone must agree with me though because there's virtually 0 story based co-op games. The one I can think of that comes to mind immediately is RE5 and that was terrible and hampered by forced co-op (AI was stupid as hell and a detriment).
edit: I prefer co-op being done where it has its own mode from the main menu so people who like that can get it and yet it doesn't invade single player. Portal 2 is a good example of that being done.

I'd love to see it either more like Okami or Dark Souls in the world approach.
He gives an opinion because somebody asked him. Is that such a big deal?
And by reading his answer I think he's just fucking around, some of you take things too seriously.

But why should it matter as long as your single player is perfectly intact? The coop partner doesn't need to stay if you are playing one player so the AI shouldn't even be a issue. With a little effort it offers no downside to people that want single player and nothing but upside to people that love coop.

Jaffe is just brainstorming because he got asked a question.
Not replying when you get asked a question makes you a rude ass motherfucker.

Yeah that's exactly what I meant, dude. The Jaffe-hate is a little strong around these parts and I'm sure I'm not the only one who notices it is all I'm saying.
This. No co-op, thanks
There's too many factors to consider. Extra resources and manpower to tack that on. If they just ignore it altogether then it's not an issue, and you still have a hundred other games to play co-op in. I'm not sure what would make god of war so special in that regard.

Fat chance.
The direction that the series has headed post part 1 is one of copying the formula exactly, changing as little as possible to appease the fanbase. That's a damn shame.
Jaffe had cool ideas on how to move forward. Check out this teaser that was visible in the GoW1 extra disk.

Now there's a worthy sequel. But alas. So I think this interview is just him lashing out and taking the piss.

I don't think god of war is special, I think i mentioned that it may not be the best fit for coop in one of my posts but I just don't like the mentality that since RE5 didn't do it well developers shouldn't try. Me and many of the people I know desperately want more online coop in games that isn't regulated to some side part or minigame or something and I simply don't think it would harm the single player experience if done correctly.

well Jaffe has been a huge Darksiders fan, so it would have obviously resonated here. Jaffe you are a member here, comments?

I hope GOW doesn't have co-op, not for the main story anyway, that would be shit.
He was presumably asked what he would do if he were making GoW Ascension. It's not like he's just randomly mouthing off unprompted.

Please tell me this is a quote from somebody in the playstation smash bros thread and not actually, you know, a serious post...

Similar things were said by Nintendo fanboys when 3D Dot Game Heroes was unveiled.

Thanks for reminding me about that game, gonna have to pick it up at some point.
With GoW:A I would like to see sword/spear & shield Kratos, so at the very least the combat feels entirely different from what we've already experienced.

/thread.
He releases the new twisted metal with an essentially broken multiplayer for months. Then he announces hes leaving esp to start a new company making mobile games, and acts like he's God and we should all kiss his ass because hes still involved with fixing his unpolished twisted metal game. He just rubs me the wrong way, and the more he talks, the more he annoys the shit out of me.

Same. I don't like the idea of co-op in a God of War game, unless it's a separate campaign. I remember listening to Weekend Confirmed and Jeff Cannata mentioning he thought co-op in the new God of War would be cool.
Not to me...
