If anything companies like capcom and square enix making the games that people want simply comes down to the realisation that what they were doing wasn't working for them. None of this has anything to do with the ps4...


Maybe you're right or maybe they now know what their gamers want. But yeah, that's a valid way to look at things as well.

Well its going to get a lot of indie titles. That's for sure...

If those indies are games like Outlast, No Man's Sky, Rime or Wild that people like the brand them as indies, to me these are mid-tier games.

I think this is a problem in recent years, and why people just assume the mid-tier games are gone.  They truly aren't.  Many just switched to online distribution to save money, which, unfortunately, caused many to just lump into the HUGE category that is indie games.  Many of these games are technically indies in the sense that the devs are independently owned, but in terms of scale, their games are definitely the mid-tier games of today.  There are also mid-tier physical releases, which Bound By Flame is the first to come to mind, and I'm sure there are others.

I think the success of the PS4 will definitely lead to a little more diversity in gaming.  It will definitely lead to Japanese devs/pubs taking more risks in porting their games over to NA, since they'll have a larger PS install base to sell to.
