Devil’s Third producer Tomonobu Itagaki says his latest video game, Devil’s Third, will become a breakthrough for the industry and that it will take the third person shooter genre to the next level. Speaking in Famitsu, Itagaki explained that he didn’t want to let down the fans, and that drives him to keep working on the game.
“When I became independent and thought what I’d create next, I had a strong desire to challenge myself with new things,” he said. “Therefore I decided to create a completely new shooter game by using all the skills I have gained from making action games and fighting games – so Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive fans alike would want to play it.”
Itagaki added that “I didn’t want to betray fans. I didn’t want people to throw away their anticipation. The game is a grand sum of the work from all of the developers, so I really hope you pick it up. I think the game will become a breakthrough in the industry and take shooters to the next level.”
