The Dangers Of The Devil’s Third Release Date

NE: "I can’t help but wonder, however, whether the specific release dates may be a bad idea, and if the American release should follow suit or approach the release date a different way."

I hate say this but the game is sent to die.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3662d ago

because you people are the reason many great games and devs go under and go independent.

EricWeichhart3662d ago

I don't think the game will fail but it is quite a bad idea. There will be two exclusives competing between themselves for the online.

wheresmymonkey3662d ago

That's like saying Activision shouldn't release Destiny and CoD.

Besides Splatoon and Devils third are very different games, with very differnt audiences. Though there is going to be some crossover I don't think the parents that bought their kids splatoon are going to let them anywhere near Devils Third. Likewise i am sure there are some gamers out there that don't like the non confrontation play of Splatoon but will love hacking up the compeition in Devils Third.

But more the merrier on the WiiU i say.

gamingpro3662d ago

Most gamers will get both, I don't see the issue here, I've got splatoon but that won't stop me getting devil's third, the more the merryier.

If nothing was coming out then no doubt the article would read Wii u drought no games or something like that.

wonderfulmonkeyman3662d ago

Agreed. Splatoon is a wonderful game, but this has been on my hit list for even longer than Splatoon. Having Splatoon won't make me not want this.
The single player component feels like it'll be more story heavy than Splatoon was, and that's just one more good reason to pick it up.

CouldHaveYelledUiiW3662d ago

I agree with you both,
games look great and they are both shooter but look and play very differently.
-There is no harm in having 2 shooters out at the same time.

The only thing I can see as a problem is maybe the hype.
The article talked about the lack of build up for this game.
Gamers like me have known about this game before it was slated for a Nintendo Plat. but I am not sure what the rest of the community knows.

But
I am certain that Nintendo is going to Strongly Feature this game at E3 like they did Splatoon. (They did show a lot last E3 too).

Devil 3rd's Dev, Valhalla, said
that they trust Nintendo's upcoming marketing for the game.
And they also hinted at a new graphical and gameplay overhaul (to show come E3).

SO,
I am Excited.
I hope all other gamers check this out too.

Talk about a kick in the nutter butters

naruga3089d ago (Edited 3089d ago )

this game creator payed his idiocy to change the development for exclusive release on a dying hopeless console with the best way ....the game was generally good i liked it and was the closest thing to a hardcore Ninja Gaiden we could get on new consoles ....but literaly its creator was idiot as f..k to undermine his game (it was obviously downgraded for Wii u) and release it exclusively on a underpowered system for some cash,destroyed his name in a moment

rjason123088d ago (Edited 3088d ago )

Oh boo hoo. Someone didn't get a game to come to their system.

@Edmix
Believe me I know the feeling haha, just pushing out a similar statement many others make, just cause.

ShaunCameron3088d ago (Edited 3088d ago )

@ rjason

Apparently.

@ XisThatKid

How did they ask for it? You know the company responsible for the engine used to make the OG game went under forcing Itagaki to scrap it and start over, right? Not to mention THQ, its original publisher, eventually withdrawing support before going under. As for it becoming a Wii U exclusive, Nintendo was the one willing to help Itagaki with the funding to finish making the game.

_-EDMIX-_3088d ago

This is easily one of the stupidest investments I've ever seen any company ever make for an exclusive by a third party. I'm surprised you think the game is any good at all because I don't really believe the Wii U made this game bad, believe it was going to be bad regardless of where it was. The Wii U has a handful of really great games please do not blame the hardware for how crappy this game actually is. To my understanding when you create a game for a specific piece of Hardware your job is to adapt. So do not blame the hardware for why this game was horrible blame the developer for even downgrading the game in the first place as opposed to adapting to their situation. If you have to downgrade a game so significantly that it begins to affect the design and quality you're probably not supposed to be downgrading it in the first place to such a platform. I don't blame the platform in this respect I blame the developer because they chose to continue despite knowing the hardware differences. The regular Wii U exclusives don't have that problem because they were made to actually work on that platform...

@rjason- could be because it sounds to me like he basically likes the game but he's angry at the decision of it being exclusive somewhere else

XisThatKid3088d ago (Edited 3088d ago )

I have not felt so selfish about a game before. I like many waited and waited patiently since this games release and out of no where Wii U exclusive. At the time i didn't have a Wii u and honestly i wanted it for ps3 but that never happened nor for 4. Anyway i honestly am glad this happened. Save for the innocent dev and people involved But i never wanted a game to fail so badly. Not to mention when i finally played it i think it sucks imho. I'm fine with exclusives but when a game's announced for your console or platform of choice then retracted they're asking for it.

bouzebbal3088d ago

he had no big name to start with.. this same guy did the same to DOA4 and Ninja Gaiden for 360 and in the end he talks s### about Team Ninja about NG3 and DOA5. He's a loser !

blackblades3089d ago

Ikr it looked interesting in the beginning before it became an nintendo exclusive. Don't know what happened when it became an exclusive.

_-EDMIX-_3088d ago

Who knows , it was probably always going to be bad.

Ravenor3088d ago

A lot happens when a game gets developed. A proof of concept demo or pre rendered video being received well doesn't necessarily equate to a game game being good.

BLKxSEPTEMBER3088d ago

I'm still looking to buy a copy at a reasonable price.

ocelot073088d ago

Depends on where you are located. Here in the UK you can pick this up for around £12.

BLKxSEPTEMBER3088d ago

I'm in California. I haven't seen a hard copy yet.

xMANB3ARP1G3088d ago

bro you wont they made so few copies they are mostly locked in cages atm in ppls collections waiting for the value to skyrocket.

BLKxSEPTEMBER3088d ago

Yeah that's what I figured.

xMANB3ARP1G3088d ago

i only say that because im in the same boat all physical copies near me were scooped up day one and ebay had a field day

alfcrippinjr3088d ago

and this is why we should not support nintendo any more
they done it with the wii and they killed the ds off for no reason.

total bad for business

ShaunCameron3088d ago

Um. You can still get the main D3rd game, albeit digitally. The only thing they killed here was the online multiplayer.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3088d ago

Wait why are peopole acting like they care now? You didn't when it was released.

gangsta_red3088d ago

Yea, I haven't heard a peep or a whisper of this game since its debut.

gamer78043088d ago

its the principle of it, i don't like seeing any games shut down so quickly

Chaos_Order3088d ago

I don't think Itagaki is crazy for making a Wii U exclusive.

I think he's crazy for pushing out a half baked, flawed as all hell, generic gore fest on the Wii U without making use of any of the console's specific features, and throwing his toys out of the pram when people criticise it.

The ups, downs and future of Tomonobu Itagaki's Devil's Third

Tomonobu Itagaki, outspoken former leader of Tecmo's Team Ninja and current leader of Valhalla Game Studios, has spent the last eight years of his life working on the action game Devil's Third.

PhoenixUp3136d ago

Sucks to spend eight years on a project only to have it flop

MilkMan3136d ago

Love the interview. He's a great developer and I liked Devils Third.
