Forums - Gaming - Oh Look. Another Gorgeous Indie Game On The PS4.

I'm hoping that the PC version is still in the works.

It is not only this one... id@xbox is rejecting a lot of indie games mainly because the lack of online play.

next indie game sony paid for to take it away from other platforms or at least to get it first. seems like sony is even worse right now as microsoft ever was if it comes to that. at least if we talk about the amount of games they pay for and not the amount of money they use for it.


Not saying Sony isn't paying, but the primary reasons most indie games are exclusive to Sony is because Microsoft were dicks to the indie devs on policy. Since Sony has been getting all of the support Microsoft has realized the error of their ways and is softening up to indie devs by making their policies easier because they dont want to lose to Sony. Yet another smart backtrack. Essentially Sony will never be as bad as Microsoft when it comes to paying up because internally they still make more.



yay good job sony buying a game to be a timed exclusive on the PlayStation and preventing it to be played where it was already announced to launch on

Well, I didn't really mean that Sony takes them away from Xbox in this thread and more PC which I also mentioned in the post Bananaking quoted some hours ago. I know that there are some reasons why Indies don't really like to support Xbox (even when the 360 has the biggest amount of Indie games) but Sony said on the stage something like "first on Playstation" even to games like Holtine Miami 2 (I think that was also on the stage) and I simply didn't believe that a game like Hotline Miami 2 would come first on Playstation when the whole success of Hotline Miami was because of the PC community. 

If these games (also games like Oddworld) will come at the same time on PC it is another story and you can forget what I posted but then Sony shouldn't call that first on Playstation to confuse me But if these games really come later on PC I'm very sure that Sony paid for that or that they said something like "stage time if you make it first on Playstation" which is pretty much the same as paying money since stage time is worth a lot.

I only mentioned Microsoft because people complain about them paying to get the games earlier and didn't really mean that the games would also release on Xbox at the same time without Sony.

That's at least how I remember this thread.

I wish that was the case, but sadly it's not.



People can criticise Sony for paying something to indies (probably Royalty Advances)... but hold on a minute, they wouldn't be rushing to Sony if MS hadn't had done such a shoddy job of their indie stuff to begin with. In fact if you were an indie MS didn't even care, they weren't interested. As many indies rightly said at the time.

Now if i was an indie and I compared the two, I would naturally be going towards Sony, its selling more consoles and has had the better attitude. If sony were also saying we will give you some cash to release on our platform first... then guess what I would do.

MS are finally picking up the dropped ball, but there will still be some lingering issues with it, and some indies will still decide to move across to PS4 rather than XBO. I'm sure it will get better as MS build their reputation with the indie community.

Somehow I don't equate being give £20k or something the same as paying tens of millions of £'s (or more) for a AAA game. There are tons of indie games out there that MS could pick up for nothing, AAA games are a different kettle of fish.



Making an indie game : Dead of Day!

Ergh... you can get me to care about indies on the Vita but they will be staying far away from my PS4 unless its something like kingdom come. I didnt pay 400 euros to play indie games.

Dude...Resogun


Nope. Not my cup of tea.

Indeed, resogun is nothing more than a game that most played for a couple of hours and give up on it, if they didn't it is because they want to get the platinum trophy and then not touch it anymore...and that game then always get mentioned in discussions like this...

Just curious. Do you think that reviewers who praised the game only played it for a few hours and then gave up on it?

Can't answer this honestly, how should I know? Would not be surprised if some of them did. 
Resogun only get mentioned so much because it is an exclusive game with a high metacric score.
Go on PSn right now and I bet almost all of the PS4 owners will be playing a game that is a port from PS3.
