Lol. Why does it even matter if games are made independently or not. Quinton has no point


It doesn't matter. I'm all for indies. However, there's a few other people who do not believe that indies aren't Sony's main focus - despite the evidence. This whole argument basically started with people refusing to acknowledge that there are some Sony fans that are a bit upset with Sony's new direction with both the PS4 and the Vita in regards to indies.

Making smaller games is easier and quicker than making AAA games, therefore it is natural to believe that when you need to get titles onto a console, indie titles would be a simple thing to achieve... because there are more people making indie games than AAA.

To suggest that indie games is Sony's main focus, nah thats rubbish. There focus is getting games of all types and genres onto their console to help fill in the gap that is currently there because both 3rd party and Sony need to get upto speed on moving to a new gen.

Now.. after the conference could we also say that MS's main focus is on indies as well then because they had a big show reel of indie games coming exclusive to XBO.

Personally i dont think either console manufacturer's *main* focus is on that, just on trying to make sure people have stuff to play in the 1st year life of the console. After September, i hope this wont need to come up again, because the AAA games should start coming through at quite a pace, for a good while at least (we all know summers are usually crap).



Making an indie game : Dead of Day!
