THQ is looking to get rid of Devil’s Third

5/16/12 4:00pm

The father of balls hard modern Ninja Gaiden series, Dead or Alive games, and boob physics has run out of luck it would seem. While he was able to establish a new studio (Valhalla Games) after his rough departure from Tecmo, THQ has decided that his new game no longer fits their agenda. Instead THQ president Brian Farrell feels

"The profitability profile for Devil's Third no longer met our internal threshold and we are currently in discussions with third parties regarding the future of this title… There were a couple of unforeseen events that happened during the development of Devil's Third. One was the company that Valhalla was using for the engine went out of business, so we had to assist Itagaki and the team with a new engine – it took a fair amount of time and cost a fair amount of money."

While they don’t specifically say which company was developing the engine, it sucks that all this is really coming about because THQ just doesn’t have the money to help them finish it. Activision did the same thing with True Crime: Hong Kong and Square Enix bought that game up keeping United Front on it and changing the name to Sleeping Dogs. There may be hope for Itagaki yet.

Hopefully something like this will slap a bit of humility into Itagaki....pompous git. Biggest contribution the guy ever made to the craft was making us all look like a bunch of perverts.

I don't blame THQ, they still have the Warhammer 40k licence and there are millions of fans of the WH40k universe in the world (including me) that would probably purchase anything related to 40k. Hopefully with Company of Heroes 2,THQ won't be in a financial trouble for a while.

I would buy it off of THQ if I had the capital.
