Why is Remedy exclusively developing games for MS?

Do they have some kind of deal or something?

Probably, which is stupid right?; they are a pc developer who've made Max Payne which sold 5 million on the PC. SAGE_OF_FIRE

My theory: MS needs more 360 exclusives to compete with Sony and move units. Alan Wake going 360 exclusive was because of Heavy Rain being a PS3 exclusive.

MS: "Here's lots of money, make games only for us."
Remedy: "How much does that say? *millions of dollars* Oh sure!"

[QUOTE="SAGE_OF_FIRE"][QUOTE="percech"] Well, MS publishes pc games too which is odd to me why they forced Remedy to not make AW for pc as well. I mean, I love AW but it didn't seem to be the kind of game that would sell systems if that's what MS was looking for.WilliamRLBaker

Alan Wake goes to PC: LOL Xbox has no exclusives I can play it on PC just like Mass Effect 1.

Alan Wake is 360 exclusive: How come its exclusive why would they not put it on PC how dare they!!

Remedy is staying exclusive because they are independent developers and they don't have the resources to make a AAA multiplatform game unless they hire more staff. They pooled all their resources into making the Alan Wake engine for 5 years which was made specifically for the 360.

The sales weren't great and that would be more than enough for them to sever ties with Microsoft but apparently they enjoy the relationship with them to stick around.

Quantic Dream however were overlooked by other publishers and "Heavy Rain" is their most successful game thanks to Sony's support, which is why they're willing to be 2nd party developers for Sony.

I downloaded Death Rally on my iPhone, so no, Remedy isn't an exclusive developer for MS.

Because Remedy sold out

[QUOTE="SAGE_OF_FIRE"][QUOTE="LookAnDrolL"] Yes they do... ensemble rings any bellsAncientDozer

yup, there needs to be a sticky about this. its not rocket science, and everyone should be THANK MS for closing Ensemble, they slacked off, and they don't know math

"We wanted to create something that was 30 percent the same, 30 percent borrowed and 30 percent innovative. I think we tried to do too much."

Because they sold their souls to MS, aka took MS's check for exclusitivity because no one else wants to develop for them.

Obviously

they hopefully will stop now. after the failure commercially and critically that was Alan Wake.

i'd enjoy greatly to experience their games on other platforms :D.

Turn 10, Rare, and Lionhead are 1st party subsidiaries of Microsoft.

Remedy is an independent 3rd party.

Once again, Death Rally is on iTunes.

An 8.5 score on GS and an 83 on Metacritic is a critical failure now?.
