I like Jaffe but I'm tired of this "OMG I CREATED A HUGE GAME AND IT ALMOST KILLED ME SO ONLY SMALL GAMES NOW LOL" bullshit. Lots of people created even bigger games and didn't complain like this dude.
I couldn't agree more. I think the guy's personal problems/psyche had a lote more to do with him being burnt out, than him actually making a huge game. Lots of developers make huge games, and you don't see them acting like they almost died on the cross like Jesus.
Also, I'm tired of Jaffe and gamers talking about "Heartland". That game was a stupid political emo moment for Jaffe, and I think it never had a chance of being made. I think Jaffe knows that, and chooses to play up his poltical statements by talking about it all the time. Regardless, I think Sony heard the concept for that one, and was like "Hmm, we'll take a pass on that one buddy".
