This week heralded the end of the Calling All Cars saga, as David Jaffe finally saw the lights go out on his PSN baby. He’s got a set of final thoughts over on his blog — he says that as his first online game, it was definitely a learning experience, and while there were good times, it wasn’t the most fun he’d ever had. He’s suprisingly regretful about the whole thing: He says that he seriously thinks he probably should have “made it war themed and ‘ditched’ the cartoony stuff,” and that it was really a problem of expectation. At $10, he says, they were expecting gamers buying downloadable titles to just be “sampling them like candy,” not looking for a full game experience.

But we wouldn’t worry too much about Jaffe — while he jokes that the CAC server shutdown “marks the beginning of the end of my career,” we’re sure there’s still more fun to be had from that mind of his. We’re hoping to see what he’s got planned next by the time E3 rolls around this year.
