If Devil's Third were to be fixed / remastered - would you buy it?

For all the hate its getting, it's hard to deny the concept is really appealing. Ninja Gaiden meets Call of Duty, a touch of Saints Row weirdness, with a ridiculous, terrible storyline that would make John Woo,  Steven Segal, or Jean Claude Van Damme proud? Sounds amazing.

What's holding the game back doesn't seem to be it's concept or design - it's the technical execution. The biggest complaints are controls and framerate. And while some degree of skill and familiarity with the game could help a player overcome those challenges, those kind of setbacks in particular do tend to make games feel unfair and not fun. A lot people who are looking past those technical shortcomings are hyped -- it looks like fun. A lot of us see the fun that could be there, but don't want to suffer for it.

Say 3-4 months go by, the framerate issues are fixed and the controls are tightened up a bit. The game costs say, $30 - would you buy it?

Say a year or two goes by, and the entire game is overhauled to run 60 fps, better controls and some other gameplay and graphical overhauls - would you buy it? Maybe even a second time?

I can't help but think even with the troubles it's facing, Devil's Third will in time become a successful IP due to a dedicated fanbase who have conditioned themselves to overlook the game's current failures. And that one day, DT will get retooled and it will be the great game we all know it was truly meant to be.

I for one don't plan to buy the game at launch in this state - but if it had better framerate it would be a day 1 purchase for me.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

No. Even if it was good, I still couldn't care less about the game itself.



bet: lost

Eh, possibly, but I wasn't even super excited about this game to begin with.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

NO. It has always looked like an awful game to me. If great reviews were to prove me wrong I would reconsider, but so far they are not...



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.

[Prediction Made 6/18/2014]

Nope, was never interested.

maybe (?) on NX ? not only fixed but also with improved graphics ?



Why not? The game looks fun, regardless of its technical problems.



I'm getting it day 1, I genuinely think it looks fun. It has technical issues sure, but no more than the yearly update of Assassins Creed, that most people lap up.



For sure. If the problems that it has were fixed and it were cheaper I don't see why I wouldn't buy it.



The game have not released and people talking about a remastered edition already? Wow!
