Remedy Has Been Thinking About Going Multiplatform For A While

The developers of Max Payne 1-2, Quantum Break, and Alan Wake don’t want to make games for one (two) platform(s).

Sam Lake, the creative director of the studio, told GameReactor that the Finnish team has been wanting to go multiplatform, and with P7, which will be published by 505 Games, they will be able to achieve that:

„Well, multiplatform for us has obviously been, as an indie developer, something we’ve been thinking about for a long time. I mean, we had a good, long relationship with Microsoft, but creating exclusives for them is creating exclusive content for their platforms. Now we have the opportunity…As a creator, you always hope that your creation could be there for as big of an audience as possible, and multiplatform obviously makes that possible in a new way. So that was definitely our goal.

We have a brilliant coding team, these days we actually have three tracks running inside Remedy. We have two game projects, we have P7 and then we are working with Smilegate, the Korean publisher, on a story campaign mode for their CROSSFIRE 2, but the third track is actually Northlight. It’s now kind of running on its own and serving both game projects at the same time. I think the opportunity of working with 505 Games is also to learn new things. I mean, they have a slightly different approach and there’s always room for more innovation, more growth and having a new perspective to try out new things.”

Too bad we don’t know much, if anything, about P7. Maybe the Finns will show some of it later this year…

Still, she likes puzzle and story-oriented games, like Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments, which is her favourite title.
