Ah, I got it, my bad. Didn't think of the original blog post, it was a weird considering the first game was announced less than half an hour later.
Shuhei Yoshida introduces PlayStation Indies; 9 Exciting Titles To Be Announced
- Thread starter Pingal Pratyush
- Start date
Yeah, EDGE Magazine noted that it's reminiscent of Superliminal and the like, but its actually been in development for longer iirc.
Thanks, add to wishlist so I don't forget.it's supposed to be coming to PC this year. i assume same time for ps4/ps5
Fantastic news and glad Sony is putting more emphasis on indies and independent developers again
Thas awesome news. I subbed for a whole year. So I hope they actually improve NOW with better selections as the months go bye.
I'm happy to see a dedicated and renewed focus on indies from Sony. I felt like they've been weak in that area for a while. Shu is perfect for the job!
Between this, Manifold Garden, and Superliminal there's never been a better time for first-person puzzlers with trippy mechanics! Hoping this becomes a subgenre on it's own, I love these games!
Guessing the big improvements are planned for when the PS5 releases.
This is pretty interesting! Cool that they cover a lot of genres with these games.
As the trailer says PS5 and PS4 I would guess its at or after the PS5 launch. FIST mentioned coming soon to PS4.
I think all PS4 first party games will be permanently added to PS Now after the PS5 launches. Maybe excluding LOU2 and Ghosts till a later date.
Nah, they weren't going to talk about PS5 games until the reveal.
The reveal event has basically opened the floodgates on their new plans.
Add PSNow to a bundle for PS+ you cowards
Lemme upgrade for $1 a month also (lol)
Gimme that good competition

This was already announced by Annapurna a couple of months back. Already in my Steam wishlist. EDIT: February even.
The really should have done some SEO work before deciding on the title.
These are 'new to PlayStation' Indies. I think all of them so far were already announced.
Ah right that makes sense. Yeah it's my favourite genre so I was all over this when it was announced.
I was hoping the Yoshida initiative would be working in partnership with indies on some original projects, rather than porting stuff already in the works for PC. Maybe that's still to come.
technically it was announced all the way back in 2011. by "debut" i think they mean the games debuting on playstation.
I meant first person puzzlers but I can't disagree with your statement either ;)
it's honestly pretty crazy how they have a game to show in almost every event/stream/presentation by the platform holders. they have so many great upcoming games.
That's what I thought until they mentioned Hello Neighbour. Was hoping it would be like ID@Xbox Game Pass where the indie games debut on the service, but with some of these indie games debuting on Now day one.
Still they'll need indies for ps plus since they won't be able to offer brand new AAA games. Unless they do sth special like TLOUII factions available for plus or sth.
Well I'm sure that one isn't coming to PlayStation...
(I Googled to confirm my suspicions, and yes indeed it's one of those uncanny valley Western developed porn games. Joy.)
Yeah, I seem to remember them having the strongest indie push of the big three, and then it just fell by the wayside and they've had the worst for years now.
Yeeeeeaaaaah. Love me some Shuhei and Indies ❤
I always wondered how they do support those Indies teams. Giving them fund? Not charging for dev kits? Taking less than 30% on each sale? Giving spotlight to them? I would really love to know and see how this is done
Nonetheless, I would appreciate if they keep this initiative strong. I remember when PS4 launched and there were so many interesting Indies and almost every month of PS+ featured one.

True but that is also where the PS4's amazing library will come into use for them both on PS+ and PS Now.

Sweet! love Amanita games, Machinarium and Botanicula were great, that's the last one I've played and it's been a long time.
Well if you remember those times, you also remember every PS+ blog post and indie game announcement being inundated with "more indie trash?!?" and "why only filler games?" and "I'm canceling my sub if we dont start getting AAA PS+ games"
People talk about them abandoning indies, but there was a ton of mudslinging going on from 2014-2016ish, lest we forget the ole IndieStation 4 crap that people threw around. They never abandoned them, but yeah i can agree they did pull back after the No Man's Sky debacle, Everyone's Gone to the Rapture fell flat, Rime languishing, etc and AAA games picked up steam considerably.
Now indies are thriving on PSVR, though. Tons of great stuff to find there
