Concept has merit but it just needed something more. I can't tell you what it needs but it just looked limited, like an indie game not a fully fledged one. Hopefully they show more later that gives me a reason to get excited.

I'm glad nintendo is taking a calculated risk

They need to advertise the crap out of it on Nickelodeon. It looks like it would fit perfectly with that demographic.

Haha, that's what I immediately thought of when I saw the orange inkblots. 

Game looks really cool, kind of like de Blob in the way that the players paint the environment, but combined with some pretty radical mechanics. It's qute refreshing, and I bet that it works too.



Looks like Nickelodeon like others have said.  Looks like an interesting concept though and I might look into it further.  I wouldn't mind a shooting game that is less violent and serious.

Oh look, another game for kids. Like they don't have them enough on WiiU((

Wii U is for kids that's why, not for big boys like us. Need some real guns, blood, heads exploding, all that cool stuff, otherwise it ain't mature enough for us.

Needs to prove itself a bit more then I can decide.

I'm just worried about online multiplayer, and if Nintendo can handle it.


Mario Kart 8 would like to have a few words with you then.

 

@thread

The game looks like a neat idea, and certainly it's an "out of the blue" game concept. It looks cool, and I'll keep an eye on it.

Also, for people actually complaining about "another kids/family" game.....first, get over yourself, and second, Watch_Dogs, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Bayonetta 2, and now Devil's Third, hell, even the new Zelda....would all like to say hello.

Don't forget about cussing and boobs.



I'm cautiously optimistic. Definitely looks unique.

Devil's Third has all that stuff covered. And not much else to offer, from the looks of it.



yes and no.

there are a lot of cool ideas for sure. but as far as the cosmetics go. i'm not bashing it for being kiddy in any way but something about these squid people just didn't feel as interesting as i would hope. i don't know how to phrase this right, i don't want to come off like an ass. i just don't care about the characters i guess. i'm not drawn into wanting to know more about them. i didn't take away any sense of personality.
