Kratos said: I still don't understand how some people (not everyone mind you) still think that some indie games dont count as being something important to a console and which automatically leads to Sony having a bad/terrible showing. I mean I have seen a lot more interesting gameplay mechanics/concepts, and artstyle/visuals coming from indie games than most new AAA games. And sony showed a shit ton indie games this year. Hell I would even consider some of the indie games shown to be mid-tier games. Which I think the industry needs more of to be honest (mid tier games rule!!!) |
You know how it is. Some people will always downplay the games that have an indie vibe to it, because they believe AAA high-octane shooters are gonna solely push the industry forward. Ironically, people are getting jaded and tired of some of those franchises. But they want bragging rights, so let them have it. Shuhei Yoshida has mentioned that the development of AAA games has got expensive lately, so it makes sense for the developers to create smaller games that won't compromise the company's financials. Take Crytek for example. But I'm going way off here. Sure, indie games won't always have the success they expect, being Resogun and Journey the exception. But they give the console a breath of fresh air. We don't have to complain that the only thing we have are generic shooters. Ignore the people that say that PS4 only has indie games. Just remember where the multiplats AAA games will look better
