Gamasutra- Sony's Adam Boyes explains how the platform holder hopes to attract "really art-house stuff" to PlayStation Network via its Pub Fund program, and lays out the way in which the publisher works with indies.
USG: “At DICE 2020, Adam Boyes tells us about maintaining Iron Galaxy without crunch, developing ports, and more.”
Well I do, cause a proper console competition makes each company to go out and try to be the best and this can create lots of gaming opportunities and new fresh ideas from every side, for example the era with the PS2 games or Xbox with games like Ninja Gaiden or Otogi so damn Awesome games, or from Nintendo Gamecube games like Metroid Prime and Resident Evil 4, each one have their own personal taste and their games look awesome in that time.
But sadly todays console wars is an effing joke, Nintendo just releasing effing old multiplatform games looking pretty damn bad and for new stuff is none, more Mario, Pokemons or Zelda , really miss the days when a release of a Mario game or Zelda was so damn special , but since they milked them so damn much they are now so god damn annoying to hear even those names. MS in the other hand is just a PR BS machine they are just pure talk not even going to waste my time writing all their fails.
So in the end Playstation is literally alone in the top of this gaming industry with no worthy competitor, lets hope they continue with their gaming ideology and so keep maintaining this gaming industry as big as it is now, because with out them this gaming industry would it be just a cheap entertaining industry.
So I only skimmed and did keyword searching here because the article is really long
But it looks like he doesn't even mention console wars anywhere
Iron Galaxy CEO Adam Boyes talks about Diablo III on Switch, Blizzard's new era of openness, trust and respect for third-party devs,, Skyrim's Switch port, and next-gen consoles
Also Blizzard becoming worst as a result of ppl leave I'm right or wrong here?
Who cares about any of that, it’s all about games.
And blizzard has been slacking.
Why is Adam sucking off Blizzard? Because they let him port Diablo? Run Iron Galaxy, Extinction was a miserable failure. Adam Boyes was phenomenal at Sony, but i'm starting to lose respect.
I'll always remember Iron Galaxy for their atrocious Vita ports. Too bad they didn't put the same effort into Jack & Daxter..
GI: "Watch us share exclusive gameplay impressions for Insomniac's Spider-Man, and interview Ready Player One's author and Adam Boyes."
It's interesting that they've dropped the changes for patches.
Everyone should fully embrace indies. I've enjoyed more indie games than AAA games over the past couple of years. They provide a great escape from the homogeneity of modern AAA gaming, where everything is either trying to clone CoD or Uncharted.
Indie games will play a big part in the nex gen of gaming.
AAA developers have too much money riding on a game that they can not afford to take chance - indie developers can afford to take more risk and they dont have share holders rushing them or telling them what can and can not be in a game.
Here is hoping the indies next gen keep there freedom but also get hardware that is affordable can can provide stunning graphics and physics.
So focus on indie titles AS WELL as core?
I can dig it........
