How is Sony blocking a major feature of a game which is supported by three other major gaming platforms (Switch, Xbox and PC) good for indie developers? VGC bans people who post facts now? Wow.

It's not blocking cross play. It's blocking Microsoft. There is a difference, Sony has been supporting cross play since PS3. It's quite remarkable that Phil Spencer is able to alter the way that people remember history, or how he can project one of their weaknesses onto Sony and make it seem like it's Sonys fault. (Oh, unlike other companies we announce and release our games within a short time frame...(this actually turned out false. Time to release vs announce is shorter on PlayStation)) or trying to tell people xo X is the only true 4K console...Then proceeds to show E3 trailers with checker board upscaling.

 

but anyway, Sony supports cross play. They have for a long time.

I remember they said it was Microsoft why Rocket League wasn't cross play on all three but yet that seems to be untrue. Especially with Rocket League and Minecraft being cross play for MS, Ninty and PC.

On Topic: I guess depending on the dev you may get a different answer about who is easier to work with...



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

I think Microsoft did a better job supporting indie games by showing them off at their conference than Sony though.

Good on Sony for the positive review. But I do want all online games to be as fully cross platform as possible. So I hope Sony relents on this policy.

Xbox One probably has a few hundred indie games, it certainly feels that way.

So I'm not under the impression MS is not very difficult to work with. Unfortunately for MS, its bigger news if a studio has an issue with them versus not.

Exactly, there are also many indie games on Xbox One.

So how difficult can it really be?

Many developers getting their games on X1 is not a story. Some claiming its difficult is a story though.

Another click bait indy dev thread with off topic responses on the first page.

Indy M - likes Microsoft
Indy S - likes Sony
Indy N - likes Nintendo

Fanboy M - Yep Microsoft is the best for Indies
Fanboy S - Yep Sony is the best for Indies
Fanboy N - Yep Nintendo is the best for Indies.


How about a simple it all depends on who the INDY are dealing with at M S or N.

Good employees make good experiences, shit employees make shit experiences.

How about we agree on one thing if an INDY dev releases a game on that platform they happy to put up with whatever to get the money. After all can't buy pussy and coke without the money.

Even with their army of first party developers, Sony always reaches out to 3rd party, and most people should know this since the PS1 days. It's the main reason why PS1 was so successful, and it help pave the way for PS2, 3, 4, and soon PS5.

Meanwhile Sony do that on 2014 2015 2016 on Games com E3 and PSX but because on 2014, 2015 has no big AAA games ps4 was a indie console that has no games right?

Also 2016 PSX has tons of  indie games but noone remeber that because Uncharted, Horizon, Nier, Nioh, Gravity Rush 2  and Last of  us 2 has steal the show :)

But because MS  now 4 years later has  no AAA exclusive and show 40 indies we call them  better on indies

 

P.S  Indies game that coming on next 2 months, Nex Machina already out, Matterfall, Pyre, Hellblade, absolver all ps4 and pc
