Alan Wake to get a sequel, to remain exclusive to Microsoft

alanwake_aloneRemedy is happy not only with Alan Wake but also with Microsoft, so much so that they're pledging a sequel for the game and exclusivity to the publisher. This was revealed in franchise development head Oskari Hakkinen's interview with Eurogamer.

 

 

 

 

"Microsoft put a lot of beef behind [Alan Wake] for it to be an exclusive for the 360. They feel it's an important tile for their portfolio. It fits into their portfoloio among other games like Gears of War, Halo and Forza."

 

 

 

 

Moving forward on the sequel, Hakkinen stressed that while a sequel of the game is imminent, this does not necessarily guarantee that Part 2 will also be finding its way to the PC. Right now though, the team is busy at work on the DLCs for Alan Wake and has in fact "haven't had a chance to get out to Redmond, Microsoft Game Studios, and discuss anything further of how we move on."

Screw them. They dropped off my radar when they canceled the PC version. I'm sure that with Microsoft's "wonderful" backing, the second won't be coming to PC either.

am still holding out for the pc version, but somehow, i don't think they're ever picking it up again. and to think it could have done really well on pc.

why was it even exclusive? the game sold bad, i mean really bad it only sold around 0.5 million copies! the developers should know that 360 fanboys just love shooters just like most M$ exclusives! so why dont the developers use their brain and port the game onto the ps3. Because if they dont make money from this game then i doubt they will be able to make a sequel unless microsoft bribe them of course...

The game is exclusive to MS because they're the ones who funded development for the game. From the Bright Falls mini-series to ads, and so-forth. You think the funding for all of that came from Remedy's pocket?

Also funny how you pull the "360 fanboys only like shooters" card ignoring the fact that the PS3s most recent top sellers (UC2, KZ2, Resistance 2) are primarily shooters moreso than anything else.

Not to mention, if MS and Remedy weren't satisfied with Alan Wake's performance, they clearly wouldn't be talking about a sequel so soon.

Leave the fanboy talk at the door.

Look at GTA IV. It was funded by Sony and was supposed to be a PS3 exclusive, until M$ shoved money towards Rockstar. Same with Star Ocean 4, funded by M$ but they still made a PS3 version.
