Sony is into indie games. Uncharted and God of War may have been its tent-pole exclusives in the PS3 era, but no less talked about were its smaller titles — things like Flower, Journey and Unfinished Swan. In recent months, we’ve heard a whole lot more about Sony’s commitment to small developers, and today a few new interesting games surfaced on the Playstation Blog. We’ve got Hohokum, Doki-Doki Universe and Counter-Spy — what look like three fun little games with some interesting visuals. They’ll be available on PS3, PS4, and most interestingly, PS Vita.
“Another month has passed us by and during it, many incredible indie games released so let's celebrate the 12 best from March 2024.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
“February is always a short month but it sure didn't feel like it with all of the top-quality indies that released during it. Let's dive right in!” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
“It's a new year and with that comes a fresh batch of indies so here are the very best of 2024 so far. I hope you enjoy this look back. 😊” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
PSV needs huge retail software to help move hardware
I really don't see the PSV as in need of saving.
I think only KH3 could save the Vita
PSV Doesnt need saving.
it will fall into place soon enough... I have a feeling the PS4 will really help it,
Stop with the 'save' nonsense.
The Vita will never outsell the 3DS in the market it's currently in. Nintendo own your typical handheld enthusiast and have the biggest asset in that market too: nostalgia.
Sony actually made mention a couple of times, prior to and after the launch of the Vita, that they didn't see themselves in the same market as Nintendo. If any intelligent discussion about the ups and downs of the Vita is ever going to take place, we really need to put those comparative arguments to one side ... They don't serve us well.
Quite clearly Sony are going for the hobbyist, tech savvy crowd. This means that 'mass market' isn't a criteria for Sony at the moment -- and may never be. Indie titles are at the forefront of that strategy. There have always been those that follow and those that are niche, be it music, movies, books etc. It's a smaller market but has more 'credibility' (or at least appears to have). I could go into how these people are ironically STILL following but I won't.
Sony want to make money. They make a product and sell it. It either makes them money or loses them money. If it makes money they keep it. If it loses money they drop it. They DO NOT look anywhere but the profits, so why do the fans of these companies always look at the 'race'? Sony don't, I don't and neither should you.
If you have games that you like to play on the Vita, play them. Be assured that Sony are doing their utmost to give the Vita an identity and encourage innovative Indie devs to bring their games to the handheld. It will keep on selling and keep on getting support.
Forget FINISH line and think BOTTOM line.
