Shuhei Yoshida introduces PlayStation Indies; 9 Exciting Titles To Be Announced
- Thread starter Pingal Pratyush
- Start date
Guacamelee 3, Shovel Knight 2, new Supergiant game and Playstation All Stars 2. im soooo excited :D
btw, most of SCEJ titles in late 2000s-early 2010s were technically indies (if you remove publishing rights, of course) – Trash Panic, Tokyo Jungle, The Last Guy, Rain, Echochrome, etc.
Here's video with Koji Igarashi and Yohei Kataoka that sheds light on how Tokyo Jungle was created:
yes, Net Yaroze too
The story of Net Yaroze, Sony's first indie push
Most independent developers would likely be horrified if implicated in a console war. In the last year or so it's becom…

What does this even mean? Back stab? Maybe those level of discourse threads should of remained open.
OT: hoping there's is at least two games are smaller/shorter 3rd person adventure games.
Edit: This FIST game looks fun.

What makes this statement nonsense is this initiative starts now and the first game FIST releases soon on PS4.
They always down with the indies in the beginning lets see how this pans out next year around this time. Better than nothing tho
It could have started yesterday and it still wouldn't guarentee that, in the long run, Sony won't ditch indies once next gen is up and running. It's a possibility. However! I'm looking forward to these reveals, and I hope that, with Yoshida now in charge, PlayStation will take indies seriously through the whole gen.
Exciting stuff!
Anyway - Bugsnax thread? Bugsnax thread.
I'd take a release date for this over any new indie.

Spelunky 2, Humanity, Jupiter & Mars, Tetris Effect, etc.
That was announced/released not so long ago.
But they didn't this gen. Sounds like concern trolling for me.
Man, not to say that the game won't be fun or doesn't have quirky charm, but Bugsnax is a tired meme already
No, don't expect that. Indies are crucial for subscription services.
Take a look at my post history before you start with that shit. Unless you want me to baselessly accuse you of being fragile to criticism of your favourite corporate entity?
What your post history has to do with your false statement? Sony supported indies from the beginning till the end of this gen.
So that's not "criticism", that's literally concern trolling.
Did Sony have a similar initiative on the PS3 or at the beginning of this generation that died halfway through? Asking because of this discussion about whether they give up on indies or not (I'm not going to quote everyone).
Im a little concerned but definitely not trolling. Of course Sony will always have indie games on its platform I was mostly getting at the marketing of them. These are great steps just hope it continues well into the lifespan of PS5.
Now this is what will make me interested in a PS5 the most tbh, even though I'm getting one anyways.
PS4 early indie game scene was the shit.

I don't think they necessarily "ditched indies" as some have alleged, but they certainly lost interest in showcasing or publishing them.
They flat-out dropped What Remains of Edith Finch, and it went on to a high-Metacritic and many awards nominations.
For a second there it felt like Sony wasn't paying pushing for indie gaming as much. Good to see this happening!
