Itagaki missnöjd över betygen på Devil's Third

I fredags släpptes det Wii U-exklusiva Devil's Third och mannen bakom spelet, Tomonobu Itagaki, har nu öppet gått ut och kritiserat den europeiska spelkåren. Itagaki ville först och främst tacka sina fans som plockade upp ett exemplar av spelet, för att strax därefter rikta en stor kritik till recensenterna som inte valde att ge Devil's Third ett högre betyg. Itagaki gissar att de allra flesta som recenserade spelet inte granskade det särskilt noga och inte utvärderade det ordentligt.

"Thank you for playing our Devil's Third.

I believe that those of you who actually have the game in your hands are more than satisfied with how interesting and fun the game is.

Unfortunately the scores we've been receiving in Europe are pretty awful. Some of the criticism we're getting is constructive and fair - I can accept that. But in general, I'm going to guess that most of the people reviewing the game weren't given a chance to evaluate it properly.

Just as one example, we designed the online multiplayer mode to be enjoyed together with tons of people, but it seems dozens of reviewers were only allowed to try the game in a closed environment.

That's extremely unfortunate for everyone involved. As you can imagine, no one can effectively evaluate the playability of multiplayer games under these conditions."

Vi belönade Devil's Third med en sexa i vår recension. Ett betyg som troligen inte får Itagaki att jubla särskilt mycket.
