"Devil's Third demolishes past games in multiplayer"

Itagaki talks up the Wii U exclusive.
Jonas Mäki Editor Sweden 23 November 2014

It's a somewhat cocky quote for a headline, no? Guess who's been posting on Facebook during the weekend? That's right, Tomonobu Itagaki, the most (in)famous motormouth in the video game industry. This time he's been posting excerpts from the development of Devil's Third on Facebook and had the following golden nuggets to share:

1. Devil's Third is a strong fusion between action games and shooters.
2. Devil's Third development is going smoothly. In other words, we finished editing the closing movie the other day.
3. Devil's Third will be released next year. Nintendo has already announced this in their press release.
4. The scale of Devil's Third‘s story mode is greater than that of Ninja Gaiden.
5. Devil's Third demolishes the standard of past console games in online multiplayer.
6. Almost all specifications I wanted to do were implemented. I got an up-close look at the great forerunners Call of Duty, Battlefield, Gears of War, and my beloved Halo. On that basis, we added completely new level of playability that only we can create.
7. Anyone can enjoy this game; from casual gamers to hard-core gamers. Let me put it this way. You guys can throw a fun party, or can kill each other in realistic war. You can play your heart out.
8. This is all I can disclose to you today. I can't tell you when the war will begin. It's the way the world goes. I really want to tell you more, my fans waiting with crushing frustration.
