Development on Wii U shooter "going smoothly", still on track for release next year.

Tomonobu Itagaki has high hopes for his over-the-top shooter Devil's Third, claiming that the upcoming Wii U exclusive will 'demolish the standard' of online multiplayer set by existing console games.

Taking to his Facebook page, Itagaki claimed that he had looked at online shooters Call of Duty, Battlefield, Gears of War and Halo while designing the action shooter and "added totally brand new playabilities that only we can create".

[Devil's Third] demolishes the standard of past console games in on-line multi-play," he said, later adding: "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."

Devil's Third was rescued by Nintendo following THQ's collapse with the game now set to release in 2015.

"Development is going smoothly," Itagaki added. "In [other] words we [finished] editing ending movie the other day."

A first look at the game's online multiplayer was revealed during this year's E3 with the mode said to blend "clan-based action, resource management and strategy".

Well,it certainly looks fun! But the random nature of things like killing with bananas and swords and machine guns all at the same time,could prove unappealing.

But hopefully it's online modes are plenty!

it can be as good as he want and it would still flopp

and i doubt that he is able to have a game with the quality of one of these franchises

It certainly looks interesting... But I shall remain cautious cause it hasn't convinced me quite yet

garrys mod meets ut...

I admire Itagaki's brazen nature. He's actually a very good fit with Nintendo.

He doesn't allow himself or his team to fall under duress and simply follow other 3rd party developers in making the game for X1 or PS4. He sees himself capable of really moving the needle when it comes to the genre. And dammit if you consider what he did with NG he has the right to do so.

Based on what I've seen so far, I'm really looking forward to the clans/community aspect of this game.

I'll also add that I still want Wario as a playable character in this game. Just for giggles.

lol ok bro.

I know it's a different title, but this is pretty much just a reposting of quotes from this thread in a different format:
