Remedy with the knowledge:
When we were discussing with publishers three years ago, many of them were quite doubtful about what would be the [AAA blockbuster] single-player game's future," Virtala admitted. "Now, with the success of many of Sony's games, the success that Ubisoft has shown, we are seeing that single-player games are stronger now than they have ever been."
"Not everyone loves Remedy games, and that's fine with us," Virtala said. "We know there is a certain group of gamers that really likes what we do, and there is a certain part of the media that loves what we do. And also developers, who like to make the type of games that we do. We believe in what we're doing, and there are enough people who share that view."
I'm thankful for Sony for showing the world how single player games can be great success stories. Remedy have been great storytellers but they could probably still improve a lot in terms of producing games that are easy to sell to a bigger audience. I hope they don't have to, mind.
