Itagaki: Devil's Third is 'best game ever'

Dead Or Alive And Ninja Gaiden creator Tomonobu Itagaki has claimed that his new third-person shooter is very good. Okay, exceptional. Okay, the best video game of all time.

Pfft. I think it's time for Itagaki to get the hell out of the gaming industry.

Sev5032d ago

I think he's a lunatic and he's completely full of himself, but I don't think he needs to get the hell out of the gaming industry.

About this quote, what developer in their right mind would say their game sucks, or say something along the lines of "this game is good, but many others are better".

Of course they're going to say it's the best, especially someone as eccentric and cocky as Itagaki.

Where's that N4G user Pizzagaki been? I get a good laugh ever time I see him.

Palodios5032d ago

He's a gaming legend... He practically pioneered gravity-induced boob jiggle.

Umm... and he made some ninja game or something.

Xbox Avatars Shoe5032d ago

We all know Kinect Adventures is the best game ever.

/sarcasm

AAACE55032d ago

You gotta give this guy credit... He knows how to promote any project he works on! We will keep an eye out for it just to see if it lives up to his claims.

Clever Mf I tell you!

YoungKingDoran5032d ago

so uh... did pizzagaki become cookiegaki? ive always wondered...

Whitefox7895032d ago

Well Itagaki if thats true, then Hideo Kojima must be crazy for saying he was disappointed in MGS 4 two months before its released.

*Off topic*
Your right where the heck is Pizzagaki?

Its ok to judge the guy because of his words but lets wait for a demo and final product before we punch the guy in his mouth.

Maybe the game dont have the graphic quality that YOU WANT AND DEMAND but the game play can be the best of his kind. If you judge the quality of a game by his graphics YOU are a damn moron.

Game: an amusement or pastime, a competitive activity involving skill, chance, or endurance on the part of two or more persons who play according to a set of rules, usually for their own amusement or for that of spectators.

I dont see anything about Visual, Graphics, The way it looks in the definition of GAME people.

VsAssassin5032d ago

Did you eat the humble pie I reserved for Sir Itagaki? It was here in the fridge earlier...

Theonik5032d ago

He just couldn't resist the thought of pie.

Godmars2905032d ago

I heard Sony sprinkled a generous helping of Steamworks before he wolfed it down...

WIIIS15032d ago

I like this guy, he's as humble as Hideo Kojima, maybe a bit less though.

Forbidden_Darkness5032d ago

Dont shun Kojima, Itagaki doesn't even come close to his awesomeness.

dorron5032d ago

Yeah, what you say, Itagaki...who cares...

crzyjackbauer5032d ago

I hate this guy
seriously what a douche he says that everytime he makes a game
Itagaki go kill yourself please

Cloudberry5032d ago

.
As for "the best game ever"...

As long as I could enjoy it, that would be enough for me.

Talk about a kick in the nutter butters

naruga2687d ago (Edited 2687d 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

rjason122686d ago (Edited 2686d 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.

ShaunCameron2686d ago (Edited 2685d 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-_2686d 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

XisThatKid2686d ago (Edited 2686d 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.

bouzebbal2685d 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 !

blackblades2687d 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-_2686d ago

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

Ravenor2686d 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.

BLKxSEPTEMBER2686d ago

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

ocelot072686d ago

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

BLKxSEPTEMBER2686d ago

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

xMANB3ARP1G2686d 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.

BLKxSEPTEMBER2685d ago

Yeah that's what I figured.

xMANB3ARP1G2685d 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

alfcrippinjr2686d 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

ShaunCameron2686d ago

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

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory2686d ago

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

gangsta_red2686d ago

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

gamer78042686d ago

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

Chaos_Order2686d 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.

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

MilkMan2734d ago

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