Developer Confirms Devil's Third Still In Production

Tomonobu Itagaki won't be taking Devil's Third to E3 this year.

confirmed publisher [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/trailers/5869-Devils-Third-Trailer] yet but, said Itagaki to Famitsu, the dearth of news about the title since its announcement way back when is all part of his strategy. "It's like we're continuing to go along under the surface," says he, "waiting for the right timing to launch our missiles."

Those missiles won't be launched at E3, Itagaki confirms. The timing just isn't right. But this game is important to Itagaki; "[it's] part of the reason I went independent, after all," he told Famitsu. No news on gameplay yet, except that he's building it up "Itagaki-style" and really hopes it will surprise people. This is the title that got caught up in the THQ itself has dissolved [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/117276-THQ-Abandons-Devils-Third].

Best of luck to Valhalla Game Studios; hopefully its Devil's Third won't have to wait till Ragnarok for a release.

If Itagaki's managed to make a game even half as polished as Ninja Gaiden Black, then this needs to be picked up by a publisher.

Finally, someone else who understands what a masterpiece NGB was! Nobody wants to believe me when I say NGB was a difficult action game done right.

Too bad Tecmo Koei decided to fuck Itagaki sideways. Team Ninja hasn't been the same without him; DoA5's fighting system is clunky (granted, so was DoA4), and NGRE is still a mess. :/

Agreed on the publisher comment. Aren't shooters of all kinds all the rage right now? And being made by everyone's favorite outspoken "rock star," I'm surprised more publishers aren't jumping at the chance.
