Both the company and 'Twisted Metal' creator Jaffe are reportedly moving to casual and mobile games.
The Salt Lake City Tribune reported yesterday that Eat Sleep Play, the game developer started by Scott Campbell, Gene Martin and David Jaffee back in 2007, has laid off eight employees and made a shift in direction. The company will now be transitioning to casual, mobile games.
"It’s a platform that is in our pockets almost 24/7," says company co-founder Scott Campbell. "You can certainly reach a lot more people. That’s pretty exciting for us."
Campbell also revealed that David Jaffe - the man behind 'Twisted Metal' - is going to be leaving the company do to the same. "He’s got some projects that he’s excited about," says Campbell, "so we’re kind of going down two separate paths."

The 'Twisted Metal' Demo is Coming January 31st
Fri Jan 27, 2012 at 12:30 PM ETTags: Twisted Metal, PlayStation 3, David Jaffe, Demos (all tags)
Next Tuesday, you'll finally get to check out the return of crazy vehicular combat.
It's hard to tell just what to think of 'Twisted Metal.' It could be a fantastic return to form or end up being a disappointing follow-up to a game series we know and love. Either way, you'll be able to find out for yourself next Tuesday, when the demo hits PSN.The demo, like most demos these days, focuses exclusively on the multiplayer sections of the game. Just what we'll be getting is a bit vague, and there's no word on whether we'll be able to enjoy offline multiplayer or be limited to the online mode.
If you're still up in the air on 'Twisted Metal,' you'll have a full two weeks to try it out before pulling the trigger on a purchase.

David Jaffe Talks 'Twisted Metal' Demo, Day One Patch, Online Pass and More
Mon Jan 23, 2012 at 12:30 PM ETTags: David Jaffe, Twisted Metal, Demos, PSN Pass (all tags)
The good news is that yes, we will be seeing a demo of 'Twisted Metal' coming in the next few weeks.
David Jaffe is the man behind 'Twisted Metal' and one of the few people in the game industry to really wear his heart on his sleeve. For better or for worse, he says what he means and doesn't sugar coat anything. In his latest video to the fans, he goes over his thoughts on PSN Pass and gives some details on what to expect from 'Twisted Metal.'
The bad news first. 'Twisted Metal' will be using PSN Pass - a one-time-use code that's required to play the game online. The inclusion of PSN Pass means that, unless you're planning on sticking to local play only, you won't be able to go online. Jaffe says that he's against the use but that Sony has their reasons and he understands them.
Of course, that's offset a bit by the good news of a 'Twisted Metal' demo coming in the next few weeks - certainly before the February 14th launch according to Jaffe.

Sony Rumored to be Working on a 'Smash Bros.' Style Fighter with Sony Game Stars
Tue Nov 29, 2011 at 11:30 AM ETTags: Sony, PlayStation 3, SuperBot Entertainment, Sweet Tooth, Twisted Metal, Kratos, God of War, Rumors and Speculation (all tags)
Characters that may have been inadvertently revealed so far are Sweet Tooth, Kratos and a naked, featureless lady.
Nintendo has had a great deal of success with the 'Smash Bros.' series of games. They're equal parts fun fighting game and trip straight past memory lane and right onto the nostalgia superhighway. If you played Nintendo games as a kid, there's plenty there that will spark up those feelings that make you get the NES out of the closet.
If rumors and speculation hold true, and they do more often than you might think, Sony is going to be working on a similar game of their own. Twitter pictures posted and then removed by Chris Molina of SuperBot Entertainment sure make it look like that's the case.
And just who is SuperBot Entertainment? From the company overview, they are "an exclusive developer of Sony Computer Entertainment America and are currently in production of a yet-to-be announced PS3 title."
We're calling this rumor pretty damn plausible.
