Itagaki's New Game is Devil's Third

Andriasang: One of the big surprises is that the game is multiplatform for both PS3 and Xbox 360. Given Itagaki's history at Team Ninja, many had been expecting an Xbox 360 exclusive release. Asked about the selection of platforms, Itagaki said, "This way, a greater number of fans would be able to play it."

Valhalla is working on the PS3 version. In fact, Itagaki says they created a team specifically for making the game multiplatform. "If we didn't write the game engine code, it wouldn't be 'Devil's Third.' Engineers who wrote code for the PlayStation 3 CELL and RSX are also taking part." He also said that they're receiving support from THQ.

Wasn't impressed by the trailer.

Boy30005069d ago (Edited 5069d ago )

Looked really cool to me, people can hate him all they want but he rarly under delivers.

Conloles5069d ago

I agree looked pretty generic also why is this up here theres been like 4 links saying its his new game.

JoySticksFTW5069d ago

the game looks stylish and fun

Hopefully there's a good story to go along with it

MisterNiwa5069d ago

It impressed me that Itagaki was okay with a PS3 version, lol.

Megaton5069d ago

Reminded me of Wet.

I'm not a fan of Itagaki in the slightest. Dude sports an ego like he's one of the pioneers of the industry. All he's really famous for are over-sized pixeltits, shallow fighting games, and bad camera angles.

ninja gaiden series
are shallow fighting games!!!!!!!!!
sir u dont know what are u talking about
seriously how old are you?

Megaton5069d ago (Edited 5069d ago )

Um, no. I wasn't talking about NG since well, you know, it's not a fighting game. DOA is the shallow fighting game series. Did I really just have to explain that to you? And you're questioning my age...

Jamegohanssj55069d ago

Once again I'll say it. GAME OF THE YEAR!

TGSI

Boy30005069d ago

What does TGSI stand for ?

raztad5069d ago

I liked what I saw in this trailer. Looks like Ninja Gaiden in a modern world ninja setting.

I hope the PS3 version is up to par and no a piss poor port. Looking forward to it.

MrGunny945069d ago

Im looking forward for this game, hope to dont be a dissapoint...

N4realGMRZ5069d ago

You wasn't impressed and? Please continue I hope you have something worthwhile to say or discuss.........so go on........wasn't impressed and?

blizzard_cool5069d ago

... because it wasn't really something that would WOW you?

bjornbear5069d ago

he wasn't impressed.

its usually very hard to point out why something doesn't impress you, since nothing sticks out to your attention, thus why it doesn't impress you.

N4realGMRZ5069d ago (Edited 5069d ago )

U see i understand that he wasnt impressed but what i want to know is why he wasnt impressed....why? if your going to make a comment say something with substance for example Blizzard_cool "because it wasnt something that would wow you" that would have made sense but to come on and just say something for saying something sake is something that has polluted this forum for to long.........let gets rid of the junky pre-teen comments and start conversations with substance....

R6ex5069d ago

Weird combination, if you'd ask me ...

I would have much preferred NG3 instead.

jay25069d ago (Edited 5069d ago )

What's the obsession with so many people on sequels, I'm up for that BUT new IP's from grate people shouldn't be b&**&@ at, and wanted over game number 3.

midgard2275069d ago

cuz devil may cry didnt work, and hayabusa didnt fight guys with machine guns and rocket launchers.....

Talk about a kick in the nutter butters

naruga2671d ago (Edited 2671d 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

rjason122670d ago (Edited 2670d 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.

ShaunCameron2670d ago (Edited 2670d 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-_2670d 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

XisThatKid2670d ago (Edited 2670d 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.

bouzebbal2670d 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 !

blackblades2671d 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-_2670d ago

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

Ravenor2670d 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.

BLKxSEPTEMBER2670d ago

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

ocelot072670d ago

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

BLKxSEPTEMBER2670d ago

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

xMANB3ARP1G2670d 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.

BLKxSEPTEMBER2670d ago

Yeah that's what I figured.

xMANB3ARP1G2670d 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

alfcrippinjr2670d 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

ShaunCameron2670d ago

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

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory2670d ago

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

gangsta_red2670d ago

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

gamer78042670d ago

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

Chaos_Order2670d 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.

PhoenixUp2718d ago

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

MilkMan2718d ago

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