Known for directing the Twisted Metal and God of War series, David Scott Jaffe is an American Game Designer born in 1971 in Birmingham, Alabama.
We know little about David’s early life since he has not spoken much about his childhood. Jaffe completed his schooling at Mountain Brook High School, a prestigious school in Alabama located in a suburb called Mountain Brook. After graduating from school, David attended the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.
David got the idea for one of his most famous creations, Twisted Metal, in 1995 when he was stuck in California traffic. As he was stuck in traffic with his friend, he thought about how it would be if his car had inbuilt guns and missiles. He pitched the idea to Sony, who liked the idea and put David on their team.
Twisted Metal was released in 1995 and went on to sell over 1.12 million units. In 2001, Twisted Metal Black was released which was a much grimmer and darker version of the game.
Jaffe completed his work on God of War which was released on March 22, 2005, and later won first place as IGN’s best PS2 game of all time. Both Twisted Metal Black and God of War featured in IGN’s “Top 25 games of all time” where Twisted Metal Black secured 9th place.
LOVE the new GOD OF WAR. But man, I sure don’t get why the puzzles are tuned like this. https://t.co/LKYj6wkhVF

In 2014 David announced Drawn to Death, a PS4 exclusive, which was produced by his own studio, ‘The Bartlet Jones Supernatural Detective Agency’. Drawn to Death received mixed reviews from the gaming community, for which he expressed his disdain.
You can see David in his live stream, ‘Gabbin’ + Games’, formerly ‘The Jaffe Stream’ which you can find on YouTube where he talks about the video game industry and world events, to name a few.
