Eat Sleep Play co-founder David Jaffe has revealed to Joystiq that he felt he had to lie about the existence of a new Twisted Metal game in order to ensure the title came as a surprise during E3.
Speaking of E3’s past, Jaffe said: “They used to be about surprises. And it used to be you’d come and you didn’t know what you were going to find on the show floor and that was a big part of the fun and you walk from booth to booth and you just discover stuff.”
“The last, I don’t know, four or five years everything gets either announced or leaked before and I was just like… Sony called about four months ago and said, ‘Let’s make Twisted a surprise and let’s close the show with it.’ I was like, ‘Hell yeah! Let’s do that.’ But it kind of necessitated being kind of sneaky about it. To me giving fans an actual genuine E3 surprise was more valuable to me than sort of being totally honest when people ask me questions.”
