Yeah, indie games... I'd rather pay and play Uncharted 4 or GoW IV than all those games combined for free.

I guess you wont play games like devil third, splatoon or Mario maker then singe they are not more ambitious than most of these indies games

I'll buy Splatoon, looks amazing, creative and fun. Won't be buying Devil's Third and Mario Maker indeed. Good guess! 

Though I suggest you watch the analysis of GameXplain on the latest Mario Maker trailer. It might be more ambitous than you previously thought and they still have plenty to show. I'll maybe get it if they add a singleplayer (with co-op) and a brand new art style that doesn't look like trash (New Super Mario Bros. style, I like the retro styles, but they're not enough to warrant a purchase for me). If they add a Paper Mario style I'll be really tempted. 


Your cant buy splatoon, you dont like indies... Or do you mean that some indies can be good ? So why not take a loot at some of these indie games in this list to learn than a lot are as ambitious as these Nintendo indie games?

Splatoon isn't indie and I never said I didn't like indies. I said I don't care for most of them. 

Unless you know what Splatoon will be like at launch I don't know how you can spout such things. ;) 

Splatoon is original, and I always wanted a paintball type of game from Nintendo, so this is a dream come through. Always thought it would be Mario though.

Unless you know all the indie games in the list in the OP and know what they will be like at launch, how can you say you'd rather have uncharted 4 then all those games combined for free.

Look at the track record of most indie devs.

Then take a look at Naughty Dog and Santa Monica Studios. 



Let's just hope that they're not shovelware.



I edited the title a bit to clarify that they're indie games. OPs are completely different but title was a bit similar to http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=194808&page=1#.

I have more fun with flash games on my phone and laptop than I ever had with indies. I find them to be a waste of my money. Now, if they start releasing them for free, then I might care for indie games on any console I own.

Shovel Knight is hurp hurp hurp.

But cereally, Shovel Knight is the only game on that list worth getting. Buy it Playstation people!

Shovel Knight and Retro City Rampage are both on my must buy. I was going to get it on Steam but I'm going to switch to PSN in order to be able to play it on my PS4 and Vita.



I don't understand, indies don't impact the amount of AA/ AAA's releasing, nor does it change the fact that PS4 has more retail exclusives then the XOne in 2015.



It's very important to a gaming platform that they have a varied set of games, not only in style and genre, but also price. This is what the PS4 is doing very well and beating MS/Nintendo at easily. It might not push lots more consoles but it makes the console feel/look more valuable that it has these games. Even from a PR point of view, if you follow certain developers and you hear... our game is going on PS4... its all about perception.

Most of the indie games I am not personally fussed about, but there some that I am... and with the number of games I buy and the range, it's important that they are available.

Anyone who complains about the amount of indie games don't really understand gaming, it's not just about the AAA games, it's about ensuring your customers don't have to go elsewhere for the types of games they want, and guess what they might not be the types of games that some people want to play.
