That's possible yeah. They already have a timer exclusivity deal going on for that too. I just find it sad that MS has not taken the opportunity to add them to XGS. Their cinematic third person games would be a great fit for them and Game Pass. Also these people know their tech, could do great things for Xbox. Especially now that it seems Remedy has their s*** together, since Control is releasing on time without any real issues.
Then again, Control is basically QB2 and uses many assets of the game as well it seems.
Yeah it's a shame because AW was great. The dlc was fine too, the standalone American Nightmare wasn't too great however and QB really was just way too short. Those live action episodes should have been game chapters.
I guess I can't blame MS then, their track record indeed isn't stellar. On the other hand, neither is that of Undead Labs and Compulsion, yet they did acquire them. My guess is that Remedy is much more expensive. Still with all that said I wish this "renewed" Remedy was part of Xbox. I can't deny that if a Alan Wake 2 is made and exclusive to PS5.... I'm gonna be sad. Even when I still will be playing it, since I do intend to get a PS5 this time around.
Ah yes, but Playground said the same thing. Wanting to remain independent and then that E3 we all know what happened.
Both Matt and ZhugeX on Era have said there is merit to this, it could mean that Sony have been considering bidding on them, but decided not to, or are indeed interested but I could take a long time before we really know it. There also have been visits from Shuhei to Remedy and vice versa.
And yeah you're right, I'll just play it on PS5 then but it's just odd, Remedy exclusive to Sony. Even when I knew better I kept hoping it would become a Xbox studio, I think they are a great fit. Especially if they get the resources they need, plus I find that MS needs more AAA games. New IPs at that that aren't Halo, Gears or Forza.
