Forums - Sales Discussion - MS: Alan Wake missed sales expectations, Remedy on limbo

And no, not the game Limbo, whatever Remedy is doing they aren't going to publish it,

Microsoft Studios hasn't signed next Alan Wake project, would 'love to work with Remedy again'
by Christopher Grant on Jun 10th 2011 1:00AM

Oskari Häkkinen, head of franchise development for Finnish developer Remedy Entertainment, told Joystiq last month that, in fact, a new Alan Wake project was under development. Admittedly, we were getting a little ahead of ourselves when we arrived at E3 this year in full Alan Wake cosplay so the absence of the latest A. Wake project – rumored to be an XBLA title called Alan Wake's Night Springs – hit us pretty hard.

So we tracked down Microsoft Studios chief Phil Spencer to grill him about Remedy's reveal and the dearth of Alan Wake games in Microsoft's E3 lineup. "I read that," Spencer said, laughing about the news. "I don't know that they've signed it with anybody." While Spencer told us that Wake "didn't sell as well as we would have liked," he was clear that it wouldn't affect their working relationship. "I'd love to work with Remedy again," he told us. "We have ongoing conversations with them."

So if Microsoft isn't privy to what Remedy's working on, who is? "I think the stuff they're doing now they wanted to incubate, Mattias and the team," Spencer said. "They wanted to incubate internally. Like I said, I don't think they've signed it with anybody."

Well we knew that, but I reckon M$ will still sign on for a sequel, they need to keep the hardcore happy



I'm not sure how much they expected considering the weak advertising, which is surprising from MS. I don't think i've even seen the game outside of the internet.



ah wat

Exactly! They go into overdrive to market Halo (like it really needs it) and expect titles like this to sell itself. Microsoft clearly doesn't get it...



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

MS get your shit together.



 

Wow this is disoppointing. It's almost as if I hope they went with Sony instead.



this title is misunderstanding



stop being babies and sign it MS, its not like your swimming in your own IPs. just dont pull a Sega and do a Conduit 2 type deal.

Better yet Remedy, screw it, go multiplat

That's what the headline is suppose to say.
