Let me use my Expert Detective skills on this one.

The Devil: of course, Microsoft,what else? *winkwink*
Third: The Devil's third CONSOLE, which is the Xbox One

So it is obvious that the Devil's Third is coming for Xbox One.

Bam!

Mind blown. So they planned it all along, cheeky bastards.
 
After all this time, this game better play sublime. Sub-par graphics can be forgiven, hell even slight performance issues given the development hell this game has been in, but the combat system for both guns and meele better blow my mind.
Doubt it, given how far Itagaki was up Microsoft's ass.

It amazes how much some people are desperate for a new 3rd party exclusive WiiU game, they are willing to suggest something that makes no sense outside of "well Bayonetta 2 is exclusive!"

Its nothing but a bunch of wishful thinking with hint of spite. This game would never be a good fit for the WiiU.

Are we even expecting next-gen?

I have a feeling this one has missed the boat. I sincerely hope not, we need another NG:B in the world.
 
Bilson seemed to have real soft spot for this game when it was still at THQ. Ninja Gaiden Black is an utter masterpiece. I have high hopes for this.
 
Looking forward to Devil's Third. It's going to be interesting to see what Itagaki has came up with outside of DOA and Ninja Gaiden. He's designed some of the best games ever made so I completely trust him and his team.
 
At least they've confirmed they are revealing it this year.

Almost excited about it again
 
You can see that we've upgraded our title logo. I wanted to go for the metallic feeling of the Breitling that I love so much. But I don't really wanna tell you exactly why, sorry ;D"

Classic Itagaki.
 
confirming that he will "finally reveal" the long-awaited third-person shooter "this year".
Wait, what? Is this really going to be a 3PS or is it a typo/mistake? I had assumed that it was going to be a third person action game in the vein of Ninja Gaiden or Devil May Cry or Bayonetta..
 
Exactly. Although I imagine switching gens and remaining multi plat would be a nightmare for a unproven dev.
Yea, that's my only fear why it will be an exclusive. That ain't cheap. Regardless, its crazy to think this game is actually going to get news in the future.
 
I hope MS or Sony haven't snapped it up for next gen exclusivity. I want new games on those platforms not promised gen 7 multiplats.

Itagaki loves MS, MS teases us with a Japanese exclusive - It fits.

I think this is a big possibility as MS seems to be sticking to their old formula as the 360 IE money hat many great Japanese games at the start of the gen while many of the Sony 3td parties stick to the PS2/3
 
They best not be expecting sales north of 10k then. Total niche game we know next to nothing about, made by a guy most people have already forgotten. Doesn't bode well for any kind of commercial success.

You think they'll release it without any publicity whatsoever? Interesting...
 
Thanks for the link! Hype..
deflated. :(

Well I think it was early footage, I remember the game was still year or two from release when they revealed it, with all the action games that came out since, the game could be a lot more different now. The concept in the video seems pretty interesting at least.
 
+1 for X1 exclusive.

tho, it overlaps with Sunset Overdrive a lot (3rd person very actionny game).

but looking at PS4 vs X1 numbers, MS might be better off cannibilizing its own sales in order to lure more gamers with a shit ton of worthy exclusive games.

Day 1. Itagaki must have bet his immortal mojo on its success.

PS : Parkour system is the new cover system.
 
a hopeful scenario for this game/Valhalla

- Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo/Amazon pay millions and millions for Devil's Third.
- Game become mega hit somehow.
- Facebook buy the IP from Itakagi for a billion.
- Itakagi buys Ninja Gaiden IP back from Tecmo.
- Itakagi burn NGZ and NG3 source codes and bury them next to E.T cartridges.
- Valhalla Release NGB on steam.
- Itakagi reboot Ninja Gaiden and give a real NG game.
 
Glad to see that it's still being worked on and that it will finally release period. For what he and his top guys in the team has done to the action genre with Ninja Gaiden, he deserves success.
 
It's NOT going to be published by Nintendo.
This is not something along the lines of Bayonetta 2, my bet is that the publisher is either Microsoft or Bethesda.
But i was told it's not Nintendo.
 
imagine the meltdowns if Nintendo is pulling a bayonetta 2 with this...

I don't think it would be comparable, because Bayonetta was a sequel with an established fanbase. No-one really knows anything about Devil's Third, and most view it with cynicism due to its ongoing development issues.
 
I'd be surprised if it wasn't Microsoft.

Word. He has a good relationship with MS that is well documented over the years. I think I read somewhere that when he put Master Chief in DOA, he personally gave the game code back to Bungie...Not 100% sure where I read that, but I remember something like that happening.
