Rime isn't an indie because its first party.  Source = the guy said it in the conference

Published by Sony, true, but the dev is independent and it started out as just an indie

Isn't it being co-developed by SSM as well? Does it still fit with the definition of an indie? I'm not sure. Whatever the case, its extremely impressive.

The term "indie" needs to die.

First of all, it's a misnomer. "Independent" would be any studio not owned by a publisher. Insomniac is independent, for example.

Second, many "indie" studios of today are run by industry veterans with solid financial backing and a fair number of employees. Some of them are closer to the bigger developers than they are to the two person teams making games in their basements.

Finally, judging games by arbitrary labels is silly. I look at the game and decide based ON THE GAME ITSELF whether or not I want to play it, not on the size of the studio. I wish we could get over this, "that looks good but is it indie?" nonsense.

Looks like The Wind Waker. Which is a good thing, I love it and how adventurous it looks !

The PS4 seems to be getting a lot of cool things in the future, which is also good.

Because it's short. 5 bucks says you can play through this in less than 3h(normal speed).


How the hell do you know it's short? Did they say anything about that or the pricing? If you dont know anything, dont talk like you know.

it looks amazing and totally up my alley in terms of art and gameplay.

this is quickly turning out to be one of the best generations for games.

Youtube commenters are especially guilty of this crap

YouTube commenters are always terrible.

It's not an indie title, it's being published by Sony. That's about as non-independent as you can get.

I'm kinda hopeful some of the bigger "indie" titles like this will actually start getting small physical print runs. Sony can manage it for Freedom Wars (which won't sell much) and InFAMOUS: First Light (which is DLC). I'm sure they can manage it with stuff like this too, and it gets them a bit more exposure.


Me too, it would be crazy if such game was only digital



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:
