Forums - Sony Discussion - Have Sony listened to previous E3 complains?

After the complains about Sony saying Indies weren't relevant anymore this year we got the pre-E3 reveals from Sony focusing more on no-AAA games.

This seems like a compromise between the plenty of Indies during 2013 E3 and no Indies last year.

Do you think this is the best approach or would you rather see they go plenty of Indies on E3 or the opposite and don't even have these on pre-show?

Sony never once said indies weren’t relevant anymore. They simply stated that they won’t be as crucial to PS4 going forward, as they were at the beginning of the gen. Clearly they still find indies to be relevant, considering we get so many each month. They’re just not going to market the majority of indies the same way they market their AAA WWS titles.

Indies launching on PS4 isn't the same as they not thinking it's not relevant.

Indies launching on PS4 isn't the same as they not thinking it's not relevant.

 But my point is they still advertise them and support them; they simply don’t have a whole entire segment devoted to them during shows like E3.

I think Sony handled this very well. Announcements in the usual pre-show usually get overshadowed by the big hitters, so a countdown like this gives each reveal a little more publicity, a little more exposure.

This also clears the way for Sony E3 to strictly focus on the thing people most want: the huge AAA games, without wasting their time on VR or indies.




Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

Sorry but I don't see they doing it like they done to NMS anymore... so the advertise isn't really showing it to be relevant.
