Why Compulsion Games Partnered With Xbox For We Happy Few

Compulsion Games community developer Naila Hadjas spoke with We Write Things about why the studio decided to team up with Microsoft.

[PhoenixUp]

Xbox One could always use more intriguing exclusives like this

[Patriot4Life]

Agreed - this game will be a day one purchase for me.

Now all we need is a release date for Cup Head...I am glad that the developer is not rushing it but man its been a long time since Cup Head was announced.

[medman]

I'm also wondering when Below is going to show up.

[darthv72]

It may not be exclusive but i dont see why that matters. Obviously they came to some sort of agreement and it looks like an interesting clockwork orange style game. I liked that movie, i will probably like this game.

[Kribwalker]

I bought the early access but I'm Waiting till it's done so I can enjoy it. I'm pretty sure it's like ark where it's cheaper to buy it early

[Liqu1d]

It's not exclusive though, not even a Windows 10 exclusive.

[Kribwalker]

So far the only confirmation of a PS4 version is "never say never" so yes it is possible it will release on the PS4, it's not currently announced or available to play on PS4

[Liqu1d]

I never even mentioned PS4 Kribtroll. The game is available on Steam and Win10 isn't required, it's still not an exclusive even if a PS4 version doesn't happen.

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Nice interview love the game

[jmetalhead77812]

I haven't really played it since it was first available in the preview program. Has it improved much? There were elements in the game that I really liked, but got disinterested after a while. Felt it had/has great potential

[Dark_Knightmare2]

Isn't this coming to PS4 also

[FITgamer]

Yeah and it's already on Steam.

[Nintendo4Lifex]

Source please?

[Dark_Knightmare2]

I googled it and the developers said on twitter never say never and when this was announced at ms e3 it said making its console debut so it does seem it will eventually come to PS4.

[Dark_Knightmare2]

Got to love fanboys who downvote an innocent question

[Krysis]

Yeah there are PLENTY on this site

[ONESHOTV2]

Krysis---- I agree too many especially when you call out a certain company lol

[candystop]

Well to be honest not sure. I guess we will find out come E3.

[Elda]

Nope.

[mkis007]

It's not a sure thing, but it's also not a locked down Ms exclusive.

[Dark_Knightmare2]

Yeah that's true I have an x1 also but these kinds of games I just prefer to play on my PS4 but as you can see asking a simple innocent question gets you downvoted by insecure fanboys

[XXanderXX]

Better question is why not .

[sk8ofmnd]

Honestly i totally forgot about this game. I havent legit been super pumped for an xb game since ori and the blind forest and before that was sunset overdrive. I hope they announce exclusives that arent going to take 3 or 4 years to release.

[Kribwalker]

Phil already said they aren't announcing games until they are close to release now. E3 will be interesting

[EatCrow]

Really curious to see what xbox has in store.
I already know what Sony will bring. Thats a no brainer. But xbox is a questions mark.

[ASBO-5]

Because they figured "hell needs money??"

[DialgaMarine]

I remember this game getting hyped up, watched the original footage, and it just looks awful... I like the idea, as Orwellian settings in books like 1984 and Brave New World is still an amazing concept, but this game looks like a PS2 could have run it.

[ONESHOTV2]

DialgaMarine-- well for one it's not on the PS2 or the 4 and as a PC gamer that knows what he is saying I will have to say no the PS2 could not have run this game even if the looks like that.

[shinoff2183]

I read about a ps4 release, any idea how long.

[Darkfist_Flames]

they shouldv just cancel it, and release it to ps4, i mean who want to play single player game when you can just play multiplatform multiplayer games, according to xbox fans xD

[ONESHOTV2]

Darkfist_Flames----- wow man that comment is low you are the definition of a radical sony fan. http://imgur.com/SLiiDaO

[EatCrow]

He doesn't like xbox because, well he likes playstation.
Some people like to limit themselves. I don't know why anyone would ever attack a company because they prefer the competition and by doing so blindly attack people who like said company.

[EatCrow]

Im an xbox fan. Also playstation but as an xbox fan let me correct you here.
I like games.

[ShadowWolf712]

“Microsoft really liked the project and were very supportive of our vision."

Translation: Moneyhat.

[EatCrow]

Game preview. It's a feature. Not really a moneyhat

[andrewsquall]

Strange decision since PS4 owners all got to play their other game Contrast as it was a PS Plus title literally launch day on PS4. They created a massive fanbase instantly on PS4 and then choose to lock them out of their next game for now??? There is absolutely no benefit from them releasing it on Xbone as a timed exclusive. https://www.polygon.com/201... It "will make its console debut on Xbox One" as Microsoft said.
It would be different if the game was out now since its a much smaller team than a AAA title but only being made on a single console for now, its still taking ages to be finished.

I understand early access for a game like Minecraft or Lego Worlds since they are very aimless sandbox style games that will get more features and larger as the development goes on. But what is there to benefit playing an unfinished story based game like Bioshock???

Its pure suicide like the way EA signed over Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare and Peggle 2 at the start of the gen. It was back at the time when there weren't lots of games out for either console and they decided to cut off millions of potential sales. Then they released PVZ the same day The Last of Us Remastered came out and nobody cared then. Its funny how no other deals like that were made with EA since.

[GoodnessGreatness]

$$MONEY$$

[jjb1981]

I can't wait for this game to be finished. I will be getting it for PC though. The premise of the game is creepy - something similar to how bioshock intrigued me.

[WickedLester]

"We Happy Few"

Isn't that the name of the Xbox fan base?
