Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 6 Comments
Tomonobu Itagaki is continuing to share a few details about Devil’s Third over on his Facebook page. Here’s a roundup of the latest information:
– Devil’s Third meaning has to do with music
– Might be referring to a “tritone,” a musical interval composed of three whole tunes or six half tones
– This is colloquially sometimes referred to as “The Devil’s Interval”
– Unknown right now if this is what he meant
On whether Devil’s Third will feature both a single and multiplayer campaign:
“We made this game for single play (campaign) and online online multiplay gamers. ‘Cuz I know I have to respond to expectations by both gamers. So, in fact, we invested double amount of resources than general development in this industry, to accomplish to develop this game. I can’t show you specific length of single play mode, ‘cuz we’re still tuning this game. But you can estimate the total length of single play mode, by my saying above.”
Itagaki also said that the specs for Devil’s Third, which includes framerate and resolution, are still being worked on.
