News Blips:
Game designer David Jaffe is a bit ambiguous about him and his new, not-Twisted Metal game appearing at E3. Yesterday, Twitter user Balflearspgc (Jose Guerrero) asked Jaffe via Twitter what he thought about a supposed list of games that companies will be showing off at E3, which included "Twisted Metal: Harbor City," a currently unannounced entry in the series Jaffe helped create. The developer responded by stating, "Well I assure you 100% that is not accurate. If my game would be at E3, I would be there. ALSO we are NOT making that game." Anyone want to translate what that means exactly?
Current reigning Street Fighter 4 champion Daigo "The Beast" Umehara signs an endorsement deal with accessory maker Mad Catz. Daigo is to represent the company at various international events and bring his unique perspective to the company as a consultant as they develop new products. What about a Nike shoe deal next? I already got a slogan they can use: Just ha-dou-ken it. Yeah? Anyone? [1UP]
Polaroid to release video game accessories in the UK. The company that's noted for its instant-print cameras is dipping its toes into the video game realm by producing sensor bars, battery packs, controllers, etc. for current generation consoles beginning this May. I'm not certain, but I don't think that any of these particular accessories will have photo-taking or printing capabilities. Lame. [MCVUK]
