Sacred Symbols+, Episode 498 | Moriarty x Jaffe: New Year, Same Us
Added 2026-01-17 17:00:18 +0000 UTCPlease welcome storied game designer David Jaffe to Sacred+ for his first appearance of 2026. Today, I (Colin) invited him onto the show to discuss a bunch of topics in our trademark freeform style, with lots of tangents and interruptions: How we manage the endless choice of 'what game to play next,' the way the gaming industry has been morphed and altered by social media and Discord, what it's like helping to create God of War and Twisted Metal only to see them take on a life of their own, if there's any 'fixing' Call of Duty, the trouble (or lack thereof) with AI art, and more. Please enjoy, and have a great weekend.

OMG as an artist I have so much I want to say to Jaffe.

2026-02-02 23:37:53 +0000 UTCIt’s genuinely so depressing to hear Jaffe talk about AI… like damn some people are just dumb and you’d never know otherwise

2026-01-23 23:05:32 +0000 UTCColin should do these Colin x jaffe episodes with an AI avatar that looks and sounds just like Jaffe and can train itself to have the same opinions Jaffe does by all his publicly available streams and videos from YouTube like all these shit AI companies have and then Colin can save himself the fee Jaffe normally gets, maybe he would get the idea that this isn’t a good path for us all to take. Who am I kidding tho

2026-01-23 21:00:08 +0000 UTCIt’s a good thing Jaffe would likely never get the call to come back for more twisted metal or God of War because I would never buy it knowing he would absolutely encourage his team to use genAI given his stance.

2026-01-23 20:49:12 +0000 UTCWhy Jaffe hasn't been added to LSM proper (per his streaming suggestion) is bewildering. I love how he always wants to be part of it.

2026-01-23 18:27:13 +0000 UTCLove Jaffe, except for his love of AI. Great episode 👍

2026-01-23 12:48:41 +0000 UTCWeekly show would be good but I struggle with the amount of content there already is

2026-01-23 08:33:13 +0000 UTCMore Jaffe is a great idea. I do think though that 2 times a week is the sweet spot. He also fascinates me because I could not disagree with him more on so many things but I still enjoy him on the show and appreciate his insight.
