Only counts if there are more than 83.4 developers working on a game! I can't enjoy a game unless it's from a big publisher!

Wait, what? ResoGun is free on PS+? Omigosh, that game is SO Defender, hell yes.



Sorry all I see is f2p games and indie titles on the PS4 Gamescom conference.

The definition of a game is:

"AAA" title developed by 9001 developers. Moar developers = Moar game...We must learn from the large developer team that made games like Resident Evil 6! The pinnacle of excellence.

The best article about Sony conference I can found...

Analysis: Confidence underlies Sony's crowd-pleasing Gamescom showing





MS kind of asked for it. Microsoft basically handed the wealth of indie devs over to Sony with their anti-consumer anti-indie policies. Sony slaughtered them today in a very unorthodox way. I normally dont like the games the showed, but there was one game in particular that looked like an Ico game without the chick. Ever since Journey, Shadow Complex and the Walking Dead games I am definitely a fan of smaller games.

The problem is they didn't announce a single new AAA game for ps4. Just like at E3. If they would've announced just ONE, it would've been an amazing conference, since they did have a lot of other great announcements and reveals.

At E3 we got the Order 1886

One question: Is Journey AAA?
