David Jaffe (Dave Jaffe, as to some of his friends) Was born in December 1st 1971, in Birmingham Alabama. (He hasn't really talked about his childhood to the public.) As we jump in to 1993, David jaffe and One of his friends were stuck in LA traffic and a thought came to Jaffe, "What if my car had guns and missile's?" And that is where the idea for Twisted Metal came from (1995). David jaffe contacted Sony and told him the idea of the game. They liked the idea and put him and part of his team with Singletrac, in Utah. During the early stages of development, Twisted metal was going to be a pizza delivery game, But as time went on, It went though name changes. Codename Firestorm, Then changed to High Octane, Urban assault, Cars and missile's. Then it was named twisted metal. It was released in 1995, and sold 1.12 million units. They then developed Warhawk, and twisted metal 2. After twisted metal 2, The rights where handed to 989 studios, and they released Twisted metal 3, and 4. In 2000, Singletrac released Twisted metal Small brawl, But David jaffe was not part of it as much. Sony and Singletrac where unhappy of Twisted metal 3 and 4. In 2001, Singletrac was changed over to Incognito entertainment. They then proceeded to work on Twisted metal black (2001) For the ps2. Twisted metal black was a much darker, and grimmer game then the first 4 twisted metals. It was the first Twisted metal game to receive the M rating. If you bought the network adapter for the ps2, you would receive Twisted metal black online with your purchase. In March 22 2005, God of war was released, and just 2 days later Twisted metal Head on was released For the psp, but it is known as the underrated twisted metal.
