Sony respond to Jaffe's Blu-ray remarks

Yesterday, Game Trailers asked God of War creator David Jaffe what he would change concerning the PS3. Jaffe responded that "I probably would have taken the Blu-ray out and sold it for less money."
Today, Sony gave GamePro an official response to Jaffe's much-hyped Blu-ray comments, saying that Jaffe "has earned the right to speak his mind on anything he wants when it comes to videogames."
"While we respect [Jaffe's] opinion, we feel strongly that the future of gaming lies in the ability to deliver more to the consumer -- more gameplay options, more lifelike graphics, more dynamic sound -- all in high definition," Sony's Dave Karakker continues. "To do that, you need a storage vehicle such as the 50 GB Blu-ray disc, because your standard 9 GB DVD simply can't handle the demands of true next-generation gaming."

 from your post it seems that they are somehow insulting Jaffe. where ddid they do that, i missed the part when they insulted him. i saw the part where they respected his opinion and stated theirs though.

Does Sony always have to stick its foot in its mouth everytime it speaks.General_X

Sadly... Yes:|

Zone of the Enders 2nd Runner, MGS2, and FFX is good enough. Either way, as the world's biggest GOW fan, my point is there are a lot of other great looking PS2 games.

Heck, SONY's GT4 outshines GOW and SONY's SotC is great looking too.

Either way, they respected Jaffe's Opinion, and stated theirs, and that post was designed to make it as though SONY attacked Jaffe.

Furthermore, we will see how Jaffe feels when is is making GOW 3 on PS3.

Uh....no I'm not, pay attention.

You realize you are defending a terribly biased post, right? Sony didn't attack Jaffe, and God of War isn't the best looking PS2 game EVAH! (But it is one of the top 20). Jaffe didn't even do God of War II, Barlog did, and that is better looking than JAFFE's God of War.

Yeah, You didn't know that, wow. Haha. I guess you thought I was talking about God of War II, but I wasn't since Jaffe merely produced Chris Barlog's Game. Snap.

Comparing ZoE2, MGS2, GT4 to Gow1.

Either Way, GT4 will probably go down as the #1 anyways, who knows. 

That means that lemmings are stuck with last gen gaming:lol:silverjiken

No it means sony's pr succeeded in convincing you....

GAMETRAILERS CUT THE PART WHERE Jaffe said about blue ray, to see what he actually said go to

http://www.gamepro.com/news.cfm?article_id=108709 I hope they didn't just make this up too....

So disc space is the new penis war?tomarlyn

LMAO!!! 

I miss the old penis war.

Blu-Ray is not needed for Video Games, and is a waste of money.

  Sony says the needed word again.

  Why hell isn't Devs taking advantage of the greatness that is blu-ray. I payed for it, cows and Sony say how great and important it is, blu-Ray has yet to offer us jack. Is it wrong for me to be upset over this? Is it wrong for Sony and Devs to claim how important Blu-Ray is for next gen games? Sony claims I need this pricey techknology, but then they don't take advantage of it in their games?

NO one asked which is MORE IMPRESSIVE, they (and Myself) were talking about WHAT LOOKED BETTER.

Same reason applies to RE-Make on Cube Vs. RE4. RE-make blows it away when it comes to Looks, but RE4 is more impressive for sure.

LOOKS is the name of the game.

what are these true next gen games that Sony are talking about that 360 can't handle?, I keep hearing about Blu-ray but so far it seems to have had zero impact on gaming. Sony need to stop talking about their "true next gen gaming format" that so far has delivered nothing to gamers, and start talking about the games.Bullets4Brains

Well, duh.

CD Rom was primarily used for the first year of the PS2's life, and DVD ROM was left on the sidelines. New Tech takes awhile to adopt.

It is also possible that it isn't needed, either way, IT's Too early to tell. Think ABOUT IT.

They would remind anyone who said what David said, no matter how had up they are. You make it sound like Sony is attacking David.

Well, I agree with that.  When I read Jaffe's original rant, I was surprised Sony granted him that kind of latitude, and it is def. interesting. However, it would be even more awesome if he said this after he completed God of War 3 for PS3. That would show he actually developed a full fledged Retail game and didn't need it. 

He is right though, as I can see with my 360, DVD is fine, and it up to SONY to prove otherwise.

Microsoft may aswell come out with a PR release aimed at sony saying...

 "Is the magic in the board? or the hands that use it?"

 The majority of the greatest games out at the moment don't even use more then dvd9, sony is pushing a format through a console, its as simple as that.
