We knew that David Jaffe wouldn’t be able to stay away for long. The veteran PlayStation employee – who’s behind some of the platform holder’s biggest properties, including God of War and Twisted Metal – looks set to reveal his latest project at Sony’s forthcoming PlayStation Experience fan event. Of course, the developer hasn’t simply come out and said that.
Those of you familiar with the luminary’s previous ruses won’t be surprised to learn that a URL for his latest company, The Bartlet Jones Supernatural Detective Agency, briefly appeared in a teaser trailer for the manufacturer’s upcoming convention earlier today. The link takes you to a page in which Jaffe is shown eating what appears to be porridge in a rather uncouth manner.
According to the developer’s Linked In page, the brand new studio is headed up by several former SCEA employees, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see whatever the firm’s working on launch as a PlayStation 4 or Vita exclusive. Despite the spooky vibes in the video, though, Jaffe himself claims that he’s not making a “horror game” even though he’d “love to [...] one day”.
Of course, this is the same man that said that he wasn’t going to be at E3 – and then subsequently rolled up during Sony’s press conference in an ice cream truck.

Man I would love a Twisted Metal on the PS4. That right there would make owning the PS4 worth it for me.
Well, I've thought that a new God of War will be announced, since a lot of things seem to be leading up to it, but I figured that would be announced as being lead by the director of God of War 3. Could be this, I suppose, but based on the teaser images, the image on the website, and the whole premise of the teaser, it seems like something completely different.
@sajoey If I recall GoW 3 director Stig Asmussen was heading that cancelled SSM project and then left the studio. The rumor is that Cory Barlog diredtor of GoW 2 might be working on a GoW reboot. What Jaffe is doing is anyone's guess.
Plain oven chips, that's all I got.
Oh yes. I am getting double excited now.
Marcy hold all my calls!
Goddess of War!
Plot twist: Vita gets ignored!
This won't be God of War. Jaffe has started up a new studio with a bunch of SCEA veterans and is working on a new game.
Yea no God Of War here. He was done with that long ago.
He is also the tool that said people don't want a story in games, so this will probably be, yet another, mutiplayer focused turd of a game.
@Tasuki - Yeah that would be F...... Awesome!
