Forums - Gaming Discussion - Sony dominates the indie scene at GDC by showcasing 25 games


most them game already pc

Around the Network

as long as those indie games are big and story driven games I will care about them.



I think the important point here is with what they showed and Sony and some Indie Devs said in the last few days is that the PS4/Sony is the 1st choice now for Indie Developers.
Looks promising - Another big point for Sony
What do they still have left to make better?
Better architecture?Check
Better Online Service?Check
1st Choice for 3rd Party cause easiest to develop for platform?Check
Indie Support?Check

They really fixed all the issues..That is impressive



Already on PC that I know of:

Blacklight Retribution
Primal Carnage
Limbo
Hotline Miami
Thomas was Alone
A Virus Named Tom

So not that many. But great to see them come to a Sony console (or consoles). Rain looks especially good :)

Primal Carnage: Genesis is an entirely different game from the PC game

"In the early stages of development, it became clear that we wanted Primal Carnage: Genesis to champion an immersive story driven experience. How do we tell that story? We looked into several different storytelling methods and happened upon the episodic approach. It was a difficult decision for us, given the relative newness of episodic storytelling."

Meanwhile, the PC game is a PVP shooter

Edit: So that makes...5 games out of 25 = most. 

And @Zane: Since when did PC matter? It didn't matter when Minecraft came to 360 apparently

Oh is it? Cool, I'll have to check that out :)

Already one F2P game announced for PS4 (Blacklight). Hope there will be more coming.

Reminds me of COD but at least its free to play.

That Primal Rage game looks pretty cool too but I'd need to see some gameplay to see if it would be worth a buy.

But how many "already" on PC?


I'm going to edit my post to not include that carnage game as I see it is different than the PC release. But before I answer that, why does it matter if the games are already released on PC or not? Many of these titles appear to be in early development stages, it would be impossible for the PC version to already be out.

Most of these games I would never touch being on a PC but as a PS4 game, especially if free to play like Blacklight Retribution.....its a must-download for me.
As far as we know these are PS4 console exclusives.

Interesting, why wouldn't you want to play these games on the PC? You can probably find them for cheaper, especially if you catch them during sales. That being said, hopefully the PS4 indie scene sees a healthy amount of sales to keep business flowing.
