In light of the reception, the game’s creator, Tomonobu Itagaki, has come out in its defence. Itagaki posted the following message to his Facebook:
[Dear media guys and gamers]
It seems that the world is in disorder…no way. I feel that the informations on Devil’s Third are tangled.
So I decided to tell you guys about the Specifications and recommended playing devices best suited for Devil’s Third, plus useful infomation for you guys.
I felt the time has come for me to talk about.
[About the specifications of Devil’s Third]
Frame rate: 30fps.
*note: I promise you can fully enjoy this MASSIVE shooter with 30 fps.Split Screen: This game don’t have split screen feature for both offline and online play. ‘Cuz I used all the power of Wii U for single player. That was tough tradeoff for me. Plz understand.
Voice chat: We don’t equip voice chat feature. ‘Cuz we had maxed out its bandwidth to achieve online play by 16 users.
