Devil's Third Review | IGN

Vince Ingentio - "With weak combat, useless violence, and pay-to-win multiplayer, Devil's Third is not worth your time."

TwoForce3211d ago

Oh no ! This is not good at all, my friend !

NukaCola3211d ago (Edited 3211d ago )

How long has this been in development to turn out so poorly?

Skate-AK3211d ago

Around 5 years and 3 engines. Straight up development hell.

DivineAssault 3211d ago

Too bad.. I wouldve bought it too.. I wanted another good 3rd party game for my wii u besides bayonetta 2.. I doubt im going to see any either.. Oh well, with starfox and zelda coming, im happy.. I got all the 1st party games i buy nintendo consoles for regardless

HavokPants3211d ago

it's ign they're reviews are as meaningless as the select button on the dualshock2 controller

InTheLab3211d ago

But the review is consistent with every other review, right?

deadpoolio3163211d ago

Really cause 99% of the reviews for Devils Turd have been just as low....Im sorry and I love Itagaki's work but this game is just bad clearly its not mixed its generally all negative reactions.

NarooN3211d ago

Dunno what games you played but a lot of the ones I played on PS2 had a relevant use for the Select button...

TheFirstClassic3211d ago

When everyone is giving the game a 3, you can safety make an assumption that the game is trash. Numbers aren't everything, but if something earns a score that low...

i'm just saying don't trust reviews i mean it's just my opinion to not trust other peoples opinions plus i have seen pretty decent reviews

holdmyown833210d ago

U must have it already and are trying to justify your purchase.

_-EDMIX-_3211d ago

I knew this game was going to be bad, I just knew something was wrong with it, yet all we heard was "its alpha" I mean..the writing was on the wall with this game likely being very bad.

Relientk773211d ago

This game has been getting terrible reviews

Talk about a kick in the nutter butters

naruga2718d ago (Edited 2718d 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

rjason122717d ago (Edited 2717d 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.

ShaunCameron2717d ago (Edited 2716d 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-_2717d 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

XisThatKid2717d ago (Edited 2717d 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.

bouzebbal2716d 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 !

blackblades2718d 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-_2717d ago

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

Ravenor2717d 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.

BLKxSEPTEMBER2717d ago

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

ocelot072717d ago

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

BLKxSEPTEMBER2717d ago

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

xMANB3ARP1G2716d 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.

BLKxSEPTEMBER2716d ago

Yeah that's what I figured.

xMANB3ARP1G2716d 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

alfcrippinjr2717d 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

ShaunCameron2717d ago

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

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory2717d ago

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

gangsta_red2717d ago

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

gamer78042716d ago

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

Chaos_Order2717d 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.

PhoenixUp2765d ago

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

MilkMan2765d ago

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