Somehow I've missed all coverage as it pertains to this game. Sounds promising! Will check it out as soon as possible.

I like hearing that the singleplayer has a large scope. Whenever a game has online multiplayer I always worry about the single player campaign. Don't let us down Gaki!

I just cannot get over how awful the design of the main/player character is.

The multiplayer looked like lots of fun. Like Red Faction Guerilla levels of fun
. I'm just worried that the community will be too small.

This was the game with the drumming Vin Diesel protagonist right?

he's just ugly. hopefully the game is good.
I really want to give this game a chance, like really bad because I miss my annual Itagaki game but , it's been stuck in development hell for 6 years , 7 by the time it comes out and it's gone through 2 different publishers AND it's an online focused title coming out exclusively for the wii U .... a console where most would just as well play mario kart or smash brothers online.
At best I can see 250,000 people buying this game , at worst it might only sell half that which means it's online community will be pretty anemic.
Maybe I'm just being super pessimistic individual about it but ... I dunno

Them screenshots man.... mmmmm so good! Really looking forward to this. The multiplayer looks too good, might rival timesplitters in the fun that you can have in a FPS multiplayer.
Yeah i hope they polish it up, but the multplayer already looks great. They better market the hell out of it
This is the stuff I bought the Wii U for. Never been too fond of Nintendo's first party games. Games that don't adhere to popular standard, but do their own unique thing.
This and Xenoblade X are my most anticipated games for next year. Its a shame there will be no No More Heroes 3 now
When the heck are we going to here something about Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem.

I wish this game was a more conventional action game,but i hope it turns fine after some months of polish, whatever it is.

I dont get why people think online will die so fast
AC4, Splinter Cell BL, both WiiU COD games you can go online now and have no trouble finding matches
even 007 Legends a few months ago I was able to go online and always find a TDM games with people
All those games prob sold under 100k on WiiU outside maybe the COD game which are prob more
Devils third will be exclusive and WiiU install base will be much bigger when it comes out, even if only 1000 people are online, thats enough to play, as long as you can get in a game

In Itagaki I trust. I don't blame him for NG2, the Tecmo politics were fucked.

I can still (pretty easily) find people to play Ninja Gaiden 3 with.
I think it's funny that people act as if this problem is inherent of the Wii U. Look at Killzone on the PS4...some online communities just die.
Devil's Third's multiplayer looks insane enough that I could see it building up a pretty sizeable cult-following. Not COD huge (that wasn't going to happen regardless of platform) but enough that you'll be able to play online without much hassle.

A masked Hayabusa rip off would have been better than a generic bald man covered in sanskrit tattoos.
He looks like a character designed inside a create-a-wrestler editor.
I recently watched gameplay footage for Devil's Third, and I couldn't believe how similar it looked to CoD, at least in first person mode. Also, why does this game look like a 360 launch title? I know graphics aren't everything, but they still matter. You don't need the best hardware around to make your game look good.
Getting Infamous Second Son release vibes here, I don't understand your point of view personally
if they let me put a damn shirt on the guy, t-shirt, muscle shirt, open button down, something, I'll be able to tolerate the dude.

Itagaki's name alone got me interested.
That footage made me re think that. Jesus that game looks awful

Totally looking forward to this.
I don't think the Protag is awful, just ugly, but that is why I like him.

This game need to be presented to players in a better way, they did a poor job in the last E3.
I trust Itagaki but I expect some degree of roughness in the game, the development has been nothing but difficult for the team.

Forgot about Starfox and Splatoon. I'm leery of Splatoon. I'm sure it will be good, but I get a really immature feeling from it. Most Nintendo games are neutral in audience target but this one definitely seems to be childish.

I read and liked his update on FB, so then Itagaki sends me a friend request. Is this a thing?

I really don't get it. I'm interested, but I don't get it. So modern military shooter but with some Timesplitters-esque multiplayer shenanigans mixed with Payday character customization? The art direction is nigh abysmal, but the game in concept is weird enough to make me want to see more.

When was the last time Itagaki was associated with a good game? 2004?

Yeah, this is just so wacky that I have to buy it know what the hell is going on.

Will there be a Wave Race 64 themed level? Apparently Itagaki is a huge fan of Wave Race.

Considering how rough Hyrule Warriors looked when it debuted versus the final product I'm willing to withhold judgment. I wish Itagaki was more focused on his inherent strengths rather than a Western shooter influence, but maybe he'll pull it off. And I can only imagine Nintendo's involvement and input will result in a deeper more polished product. Regardless of the outcome, I'm sure we all can't wait for ninjablade to shit up the inevitable OT of another Wii U game he has no serious intention of buying or playing with mysterious impunity.

It'll be fine. As long as the MP is fun and engaging, the community will be there. Blops 2 still had plenty of people to have matches with no problem.
Show us what you got Itagaki.
Itagaki is pouring his heart and soul into this project so there's no way this can end up flat out bad. I refuse to believe it. At the very least, I expect RE6-syndrome where combat is an absolute thrill and everything else turns off the majority of people except the people with good tastes.
I don't know. I'm sure Mikami was the same with Evil Within and yet that game was pretty flawed.

June 3, 2008, buddy. Until Devil's Third is released.
And yet it was one of the best games this year and my personal GotY. The fact that it didn't surpass RE4 is not a flaw, it's only natural.
TEW worst enemy is Tango itself. While it had an excellent director and a few veteran key people making sure the basis of the game was exceptional, It suffered by the newly formed dev team and the unfortunate selection of an engine.
If this same team make another game, using another engine, with the experience they have gathered, it will be amazing. I already expect the DLC to be a step forward.
Itagaki (and Valhalla) may suffer from the same problems. While the director obviously has talent, and i'm sure he has key people he trusts taking care of different tasks of the game, the newly found team may face obstacles not because they lack good direction, but because they lack experience.
This may be problematic, but in the end i believe that Itagaki's direction and Nintendo's assistance, as they always offer it in projects they publish, will make the game at least very decent, and also offer the basis for the newly formed studio to do better in the future.
As i always believe, newly formed devs, leaving the nest and making one of their own is only a good thing. I said it for Platinumgames, i said it for Tango, and I'm saying it for Valhalla/Itagaki.
