But he wants to be known for his work not his words....

I'm sure Salvador Dali said the same thing...
This interview, combined with his 1up show appearance... has made me a jaffe fan. Not really of his games per say, but I like his openness. It's nice to hear someone speak their mind and not have it watered down by endless PR. I don't agree with everything he's saying, but you can tell that he is just being honest about it. That he second-guesses himself, and ponders what is right, where games are/should be heading... I think these are things a lot of developers are wondering right now.

He shot himself in the foot yet again. Wow, the man really is not that bright. GoW was trying it's hardest to be nothing BUT an expierence like that of a film.
Oh well, just watch his 1up interview. The man needs to just make more Twisted Metal. Now that he has more exposure, all he is doing is saying one thing and doing the other. Power trips are fun!
I'm pretty torn about the "no cinemas" thing he talks about.
I agree with what he says, that they are usually meaningless on the game mechanics level and that they break the pace.
But I do belive that it's so not because of some different brain level that the player uses, but mostly because the cutscenes in games are 99% completly and utterly shit. Bad writing, bad camera, bad editing, bad, bad, bad.
Of course no one wants to sit through 2-10 minutes of amateur level cinematography every 30 minutes or so and that they break the pace.
It all comes down to emotions and not parts of the brains. Creating games is about creating emotions in the player, everything else is just a set of tools.
So make the damn cutscenes match this and don't take the easy road "cutscenes are BAD! throw them out!".

Additionally, take the RE4 cutscenes - I never let that controller off during them

He has press commitments to fulfill. He also said that after E3 he'd be trying to "go away" for a bit, but that he'd be fulfilling all existing PR commitments up until then. But he may be compelled from time to time to provide interviews still, beyond E3.
