David Jaffe has never been one to muzzle his thoughts, and when he gets riled up about something, he's very quick to take himself to a keyboard and vent his frustrations. He infamously aired his grievances about a review on Joystiq on his public blog, and he was certain that the comments about his DICE session would quickly be filling up with comments like "Jaffe's a fuckin' idiot."

Jaffe readily admits that he got into video games because of the allure of movies and that he wanted to put that type of storytelling into gaming.

Watch his keynote below to find out why.
