R.I.P. Calling All Cars! Online, 2007-2010
By Dr. Eleanor Vance | Published on January 01, 0001
Today marked the end of online support for Calling All Cars!, the debut PlayStation [[link]] Network game from David Jaffe‘s Eat Sleep Play studio, leading the outspoken developer to eulogize the game and express his thoughts about its cool reception.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Jaffe wrote about Calling All Car!’s success, or lack thereof, in his typically frank fashion last night. “I’d say she had a good run online, but she really didn’t,” Jaffe laments on his
personal blog. “With the exception of the first few hours when the game hit PSN, there were never more than 3-5 people playing at a time. [[link]] Until tonite, that is, when a handful of loyal CAC supporters came out to say their goodbyes.”
While clearly proud of the game, Jaffe writes “the game had it’s flaws for sure.” “The biggest
one being a lack of stickiness,” he writes. “Even playing tonite after 3 very, very fun matches full of shouting and overtimes and comebacks, I was done. I didn’t want to play anymore.” He also
lays blame on the game’s mechanics (lack of defense, lack of team-based play), the abandoned “XXX rated vibe” and the $10 asking price for a $500-600 console.
“I guess we just didn’t know what the hell kind of game was expected of us, truth be told,” Jaffe writes. There’s a lot of Jaffe brand honesty in the Calling All Cars! “funeral for [[link]] a friend.” Worth the read. Funeral For A Friend [DavidJaffe.biz]

The progressive jackpots are thrilling, and it's exciting to watch the jackpot amounts grow as more players spin the reels. I hope they add even more jackpot slots because it adds a lot of excitement to the gameplay. The mobile interface is smooth and intuitive.
