I'd hate to have to sell people on something I knew was a steaming pile of shit.

ScorpiusX3480d ago

It not being on my preferred system Voids your sale pitch .

wonderfulmonkeyman3480d ago (Edited 3480d ago )

No, you not being a multiconsole gamer voids it.
And as someone who's loved having multiple systems every gen, trust me when I say; it's worth it to change from single to multi.
You'll have a much larger variety than any one system alone can ever provide.

ScorpiusX3480d ago

You Enjoy supporting everyone that's fine even great for you , me am more selective about who I support and how . You enjoy the game when you get it .

rjason123480d ago

It's true though, I can only support one system, and I pick Nintendo, cause that's where all my favorite franchises are, then near the end of the gen or after the gen, I pick up the remaining systems one by one, and get the gems I missed out on.

Segata3480d ago

Can't be that selective if you play Xbone

MrBrofist3480d ago

Mane, keep it real.

Nobody is checking for this game like talking about.

Why do you think this guy is trying to push it on others to try it?

DVAcme3480d ago (Edited 3480d ago )

I won't buy it just because it's an Itagaki game. I hate that creep.

Edit: So the story of the game is that there's a major international incident and an elite soldier is forced to kill the members of his former outfit? Where have I heard this before?

*sigh* Itagaki, the only thing you sold me is a need to play Metal Gear Solid 1 again.

jay23480d ago

I enjoyed it Go9d game from the UK here

leemass243480d ago

for those who actually dont own a wii u and judging this game on videos, the multiplayer is actually really fun and thats not just my opinion 90% Of miiverse says the same thing, the campaign however i would say is ok at best, its really no different from any other standard shooter, go here kill these go there kill them but you have boss fights and melee weapons. i wouldnt listen to reviews too much as iv found devils third one of those games were there is no middle ground you either like it or completely hate it.

Talk about a kick in the nutter butters

naruga3085d ago (Edited 3085d 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

rjason123084d ago (Edited 3084d 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.

ShaunCameron3084d ago (Edited 3084d 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-_3084d 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

XisThatKid3084d ago (Edited 3084d 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.

bouzebbal3084d 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 !

blackblades3085d 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-_3084d ago

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

Ravenor3084d 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.

BLKxSEPTEMBER3084d ago

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

ocelot073084d ago

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

BLKxSEPTEMBER3084d ago

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

xMANB3ARP1G3084d 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.

BLKxSEPTEMBER3084d ago

Yeah that's what I figured.

xMANB3ARP1G3084d 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

alfcrippinjr3084d 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

ShaunCameron3084d ago

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

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3084d ago

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

gangsta_red3084d ago

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

gamer78043084d ago

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

Chaos_Order3084d 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.

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.

PhoenixUp3132d ago

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

MilkMan3132d ago

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