David Jaffe: “I remember being on a panel with Harvey Smith a few years ago and he was talking about how he wanted to make a game about death. Harvey was talking about DEATH as a force, as the thing that rips lives apart, that turns the circle of life. You know, a deep, meaningful game.
And I loved it. Loved the promise of it.
But I asked him then: what is the actual GAMEPLAY!?!? What do you DO with the controller?!?!†That’s a really good question, and for a while I pondered it so much, I almost lost my faith in videogames.
