please do... like many others, I have an busy life, and dont have time to spend 30 hours on a game. I want something to hop in and out for 10 minutes or so.
PSN games make sense too as it is only $10, so you cant go wrong (I am still banging my head at buying 3 PS3 games that I ended up not playing for more than 20 minutes).
And if you make an demo, do it time limited for sure, or you will be giving too much. Maybe in 2-3 months to spice up the interest in game?
Thats cool thing about PSN games, you can always re-introduce them later on to get more sales, and its all cream too.

Impressive looking early/launch XBox car-combat title. Twisted Metal : Toon if you will. Was rapidly overshadowed, and ported to the Cube and PS2 IIRC. Cars bent and warped impressively, but the actual gameplay was a bit, umm... well...Wario64 said:

Jaffe - War of the Monsters PSN!
Come on man, you can use the Dual Shake for when the character is impaled to pull the object out.

Jaffe: Are you concerned in any way that devoting so much attention to smaller downloadable games might affect your reputation as a high-profile game designer or that it is a misuse of "resources" (i.e. you)?
As cool as it is to see so much attention focused on this new-ish distribution format, I think a lot of us just assumed you would do something huge to follow up God of War. Especially when these smaller games are being released on a $500-$600 console, it seems like for the time being, the system really needs to sell on the strengths of its hardware. No matter how good a EDI game is, it'll never be the one that convinces someone to buy the platform (no offense).
Can you respond to any of this?

Yeah, he said that earlier in the thread. Which is the reason I suggested the approach that I did. I understand the concern from the business perspective but I don't see "no demo" as a smart solution to the problem.Kittonwy said:

Bishop,
I have found one of the best ways to get into trouble is to worry too much about your reputation. My motto has always been: follow your gut.
And so far, it's done good for me...and my gut says: downloadable smaller games are where I want to be right now.
As a game director, I just can't see myself going back to big, huge games for a loooooong time. You know how it goes, anything can happen. But for now, this is my new home (as a director, not creative director) and I'm loving it!
I hope players give our stuff a chance and- if they like it- support us so we can keep doing it!

But you're going to stay involved with the God of War franchise in some capacity right?
Are you planning to do something completely unconventional on PSN in the future?
I can completely understand the perspective for why a PSN game should not have a demo, as I too have downloaded demos before and kept them without ever purchasing the game - XBLA games like Bejeweled. However, games that fall under that category usually have a very simple core mechanic. Take flOw for example, if I had access to a demo, I probably would not have purchased the full game. I had my fill of the game and the rest would just be all the same, give or take what are mostly aesthetic changes.
Beyond what's seen in the trailer earlier on in the thread, is there any depth to the game? Or is it just "more of the same" jumping into 4 different environments. Looks like it'd wear thin from early impressions. I'm interested, I just don't part with $10 that easily.
Now, Mortal Kombat II with online play for $5, that's an immediate buy.

no demo? sigh....PSN will not be getting much of my money. Would it really hurt to make a demo that would only play 5-10 times and then tell you to purchase if you want to play again?
hell...rent the game for 24 hrs at 1 dollar....anything is better than tossing 10 dollars out the door for something you may not like. If we can rent movies on xbox live it shouldnt be hard to do it with these little arcade games.

I may be wrong butmckmas8808 said:
-creative director would bounce out after a few weeks, not working day to day on the title
-game director would be running meetings every day about every single detail of everything that comes up during development
I wish I had known that non technical jobs existed(and were practical) in the industry before I started my post secondary schooling.

David, Do you think your future PSN games will need 8 months of development ? do you think you could decrease this time of development, say to 6 months only for example ?
because honestly I think 8 months for a PSN game is a bit long (I mean its costy, lol)
because honestly I think 8 months for a PSN game is a bit long
(I mean its costy, lol)My mind about demo or not is that it should be at least half way. I originally thought it up about pay to play games though. If not a full demo the game should have a really basic program that lets you explore how it performs and the controls.
In a game like Calling all Cars case
-a slice of one of the maps, maybe even a dumbed down jail
-one weapon box
-no choice of car
-just one ai car ment to give a simple idea of how the weapons work
then attach a video at the end of the micro demo or engine demo showing what the game is like in actual play.
Maybe I will start something and the standard one room demo will take off
