Remedy: We're too small to bring Alan Wake to PC
Posted on Wednesday, 31 March 2010 by Speed, source: DigitalSpy
In what must be the lamest excuse heard in years, Remedy Entertainment's franchise development head Oskari Häkkinen said in an interview that the reason for not bringing Alan Wake to PC is because they're a "small studio".
"We're a small studio, about 50 people. Concentrating on one platform is just a lot easier for us where we're smaller than other studios, and its just been focused, focusing on one platform and getting that done. We have no plans for PC right now."
This is in quite some contrast with Microsoft's statement that the Xbox360 was actually the best fitted platform for the game."Some games are more suited for the intimacy of the PC, and others are best played from the couch in front of a larger TV screen. We ultimately realised that the most compelling way to experience "Alan Wake" was on the Xbox 360 platform, so we focused on making it an Xbox 360 exclusive.
So if you're a small studio, what prohibits you from releasing a game on one platform and then bringing it to another? It's not like we don't see it happening all the time!In other news:
