Yep still looks like a low budget F2P shooter.

Gunz The Duel did all this shit 10+ years ago. I love the fuck out of Ninja Gaiden, but even I can't defend this crap.

This is the Wii U version of one of those PS2 action games that you always used see at Gamestop and it looked sorta cool from the cover so you pick it up and look at the screenshots and you think "Hmm...maybe I'll rent it sometime" but you never do.

thisismyusername · « **Reply #6 on:** June 09, 2015, 10:41:43 PM »

It's a janky multiplayer shooter.

All those years for this?

I'd maybe give it a try if it wasn't Wii U only. But it is, so...

This looked awful when they showed it off last year. I thought maybe it had just been cancelled since then.

This is the first game developed by Tomonobu Itagaki after leaving Tecmo in 2008 and forming his own game studio, Valhalla Game Studios, with other members of Team Ninja who left Tecmo in 2009.

It's switched engines three times?!? Who does he think he is? George Broussard?

Quote

Devil's Third switched engines during its development, as the company responsible for making its original engine closed down. Since that time, Valhalla Game Studios have continued development using an adaptation of video game developer Relic Entertainment's engine. Although a version of Devil's Third for the Wii U was not confirmed at the time, Itagaki reported that the game would run perfectly fine on the system. Devil's Third then used the same game engine as Darksiders II. It now uses Unreal Engine 3 as the main game engine.

Ninja Gaiden 2 was 2008, so 2009. Close to... 6-7 years now. To be fair, THQ going under knocked a year or two onto that due to lack of funding/publishers. But still... eesh.

Someone at Nintendo saw Devil's Third and thought it was a good idea to fund its development.

Someone at Nintendo saw that the WiiU had zero titles coming, and thought that this might fill that gap. Sadly, the mistaken assumption was that a responsible schedule would also be in play.

As far as I've heard, Valhalla has not suffered layoffs. The game was shopped around prior to THQ tanking, and prooooobably picked up sponsorship without a gap. This means that they have consistently had staff working on it. The delays are more likely due to switching engines and the inability to "find the fun" in gameplay which is outside of the studio's skillset, and --without going too far out on a limb -- the cult of personality surrounding an overly revered game creator's auteur vision.

thisismyusername · « **Reply #27 on:** July 15, 2015, 10:08:43 PM »

True. And if you look at that initial trailer, the game concepts are still there. You still have the SHOOT SLICE YOU IT'S STRAIGHT UP DAWG TIME in the game. It's just poorly executed.

Devil’s Third runs in 30 FPS. Itagaki promises that this massive shooter (emphasis on massive) is enjoyable at 30 FPS.

Itagaki decided not to use split screen for online and offline play. Instead, the single player campaign uses the full power of the Wii U console.

Devil’s Third does not have voice chat. The bandwidth that would have been used for this feature was instead used for 16 player multiplayer.

Finally, Itagaki shares his recommendations for how to playDevil’s Third:

· Pro Controller

· USB keyboard

· Wired internet

In an earlier post, Itagaki explained why they recommend the Pro Controller and a USB keyboard over the GamePad. He feels the face buttons are crowded on the GamePad, so you can make mistakes with inputs. The analogs are also too far apart, making it difficult to get a graps of the battlefield. Lastly, and practically, the GamePad is not suitable for many hours of play, and they designed Devil’s Third for long play sessions.

Valhalla chimed in and explained that it comes down to multiplayer, which they intend to house tens of thousands of players.

I dunno, I'm usually one to play super janky so-bad-it's-good games, or play hardcore underrated action games. But almost all the impressions coming from this one is that it's neither. It's just apparently a really crappy game that's not fun to play.

I was going to get this no matter what because hey, Itagaki! But I'm gonna skip it now.

Fuck, this looks like good jank circa 2009 PS3. WTF happened? Engine change I know, but why bother changing engines if it's less capable/or you're less adept at it as a developer $:-\$

Rufus · « **Reply #44 on:** July 20, 2015, 08:41:15 PM »

They lost the rights to whatever engine they were using because it was tied with THQ somehow.

An engine change alone doesn't explain the stark differences though, unless they had to scrap absolutely everything because of it. No idea how plausible that is. My gut says not very. They may just have used it as an excuse to re-work the entire thing, because sunk cost fallacy.

Purrp Skirrp · « **Reply #45 on:** July 20, 2015, 08:58:08 PM »

Oh right. Well if the game that was based around that video wasn't delivering gameplay wise then, then there's no way in hell it's delivering now. Looks far worse than it did in previous states. Too bad, I remember thinking Ninja Gaiden was the shit.

NoA localizing the WiiU version. Valhalla porting the multiplayer to PC as a F2P game.

XSeed got a raw deal in this thanks to Siliconera being awful, but I guess not having that game in their repertoire might be a mixed blessing.
