I would guess the story goes like this:

The long development of the game, the loss and gain of a new publisher had to have had a horrible impact on the overall project management and caused severe turnover of staff at Valhalla.

Nintendo probably thought development on the game was much further along than they first thought and jumped in. Just like with Hyrule Warriors and Bayonetta 2, someone at Nintendo SPD thought this was a fantastic idea after a long night of drinking with the developer and got the project green-lit pretty quickly.

When Valhalla asked Nintendo for more resouces for cinematics, art assets, etc, Nintendo backed away for cost reasons. Valhalla then had a shoestring budget to complete the game. To achieve the highest quality possible, Itagaki maintained the smallest staff possible so he could stretch the money he had over a longer period so he could maintain a comprehensive feel for the game.

No voice chat is probably to avoid people being scared away by rude people on the chat, since this is clearly aimed at kids and there's less emphasis on tactics and more on fun.
Wait a minute, that was an entirely different game.

I have a really bad feeling about this game...

Haha for all the negativity in here, that video actually really makes me want to play the game! It just looks pure fun! :D In a crass late 90s/early 00's action game kind of way.

You may not believe this but most people move their character around the given track during MK8 gameplay.

Definitely underwhelming, especially compared to other shooters on the PS3,4 and Xbox 360,One

welcome to the internet.   i'm in no mood to defend a game i couldn't care less about but i do like bitching about the toxicity on the internet.  ...and if the internet has to screen cap a low relsolution youtube video of a unoptimized capture focused on the worst shadow or asset or patch of grass in the entire game to ensure they can tell eveyone the games "a broken peice of shit" well you better believe the internet will invest hundereds of hours in getting that screenshot to share with the world. 

i don't know anything about devils third but i've played other games the internet would have you believe is broken and i'll just say the internet is a lying piece of shit most of the time.

It  -  was  -  a  -  screen  -  shot.

What am I supposed to do, pretend it doesn't exist?  That makes no bloody sense.  You might as well flame people for picking out nice screen shots, as well.  There are dozens out there with flat textures or building that lack detail.  Should I not talk about them because you don't like it?  Should we pretend the game didn't have a troubled development process because you're feeling sensitive?  Sorry, no.

Seriously, talk about silly.

Still no voice chat... Oh ninty.

What, exactly, is your problem with my post and what is it that I'm telling you?  Please, enlighten me.

There wasnt, honestly I just found it funny how big the differnces where between all those pics from the same game.

Thats why I did the "what you expect" "what people say you ll get" "what youtube says".

It wasnt ment to be about you, or implying you said anything negative about the game.

It was supposed to be light hearted and fun, and show most of us dont really know what to expect from the game yet.
