I have no idea to expect. Well, I know it's not a fighting game. I hope it's not a shooter. I know he said that he wanted to do a WWII shooter and he likes Halo and Gears of War. I'm guessing that we'll find out on Monday at the Microsoft press conference.

he´s going to unveil his new project tonight on the Game Trailers E3 All Access thingy

So that´s probably what they were meaning when they said "... and don´t miss a schocking surprise, when one of the most a legendary... unveils his top secret new project...bla,bla,bla"

uncensored trailer:

http://www.eurogamer.net/videos/itagakis-new-game-devils-third?size=hd

As for first thoughts not what i was expecting or hoping for, was really hoping for something with a bit more style and to be honest something a little more fantasy and less western, i know that Itagaki is all for the western market,

Im defiantly interested, i mean this is basicly the frisking team behind NG and DOA, and you got to keep in mind that this is still in development, it’s probably going to happen but i hope that there’s more than just swords, i want claws scythes and staffs

And i don’t think its going to be better then NG i suppose you could argue that it’s not going after NG

Iv been reading the kotaku interview and they say that some of the stuff in the trailer is from THQ and not Valhalla, which sort of leaves me hoping that the final product isn’t going to be “WET” not that i didn’t like WET i actually really enjoyed it, Itagaki also said that it’s a shooter with Hack and Slash added i would much prefer a Hack and Slash with shooter added

I suppose its way to early to make any solid decisions but like i say i can’t see it out doing NG or DOA, i mean i can’t see it having the sort of story that NG has, yes NG has no story but we have threads on the back story of NG and who it fits in with DOA and on the character and theories on why things happen or are even said in NG and i can’t see all that happening in Devil’s Third

Its a shooter I dont mind, but its not sci-fi as I like them.

Modern and realistic without any sci-fi or fantasy twist to it bores me alot, let alone the look of things.

When I saw it the first thing I thought was WET but probably better melee engine.

Throw in Crackdown for some freeroaming style and you got it in one package.

I waited for NG2 for years and I got dissapointed except the combat (thank you) but after that I wondered if Itagaki lost his creativity and obviously with this game, he has.

Sorry Itagaki but I wont bother your games anymore until I see a fantasy or sci-fi game coming from you, and I have a gutfeeling he will focus on american market which is shooters.

Though I dont understand why some are surprised it is a shooter when he said in a few interviews that he was interested in shooting genre.

I am suprised he did a shooter but its not just because he's not done one before. Its the approach they are taking more than anything.

There is no fantasy. No sci fi. The Japanese art I admired in the other two series looks to be gone. Besides the speed of the combat there is nothing (at this point anyway) that they added that appeals to me through his past games. But this is still early days and the game is a long way off. I may change my mind once I learn more. But that was my point the whole time. Not just with Devils Third but with Sigma 2.

Its not about who is making the game. Its about what flavours they are using. Every developer in the world can make a game that doesn't appeal to you or that you just can't seem to like no matter what you have yourself believe. Even if you are the most hardcore fan of their work.

This is based off my first impression and until I learn more about this game I don't know what to think of the game properly. But at this point in time it doesn't appeal to me.

Yuck! it has that filthy unreal engine look..... it has potential
but come on I came up with something like this when i was in tenth grade
i know not everything has to be sci-fi but if they put a few space and Asian levels in this
i might think about.................. what you gave lost planet 2 a 6 outta 10 are you nuts this game rocks!!
