Sony is really focused on supporting independent games recently and at GDC they are showing off no less than 25 titles for PS3, PS Vita and PS Mobile. Gems like Spelunky, Hotline Miami, Ibb and Obb, Guacamelee and Thomas Was Alone to name a few. The recent announcement to make the approval process easier bode well for the future. The fact that Sony employed former gaming press individuals like Nick Suttner and Shane Bettenhausen who are doing a great job to promote the indie scene and pick up independent developers has made a huge difference.
Sony has patented to add multiple dialogue modes to let players switch between how many conversations with NPCs they want in the game.
Sony is like the only ones outta the 3 that has atuff like like this pop up changing thing in ways.
Genuine Enabling Technology was seeking damages, claiming the tech allowing PlayStation consoles and controllers to communicate infringes its rights.
Sounds like patent trolling they tried the same thing against Nintendo with the same pattern.
Motion and control input traversing over higher and lower frequencies seperate from each other allowing the controller to do both
So to recoup the money Genuine is going to take on Nintendo or Microsoft next. I hate patent lawyers they are some of the worst bottom feeders out there.
Sea of Thieves is the first Rare-developed game to launch for a PlayStation console, and Sony was heavily involved in helping the studio bring the swashbuckling pirate romp to its flagship console.
Out of curiosity could any of these ms games going to ps5 have been leaked by Sony themselves? Not Sony but someone at Sony
sony isn't about to let some console wars get in the way of trying to make microsoft become a third party dev by showing them that they make more money with them than without them. of course with that in mind they'd help them. it's also doubly so because microsoft are bringing what is considered a popular game over that can also make sony money
Nice.
Still don't want it though.
Tell me Killer Instinct is coming to PS5 and then we'll talk.
This is why Sony will rule the hardcore gamers. They keep games at the forefront and have the guts to show up at GDC.
Marching foward.
(the people who disagreed with this should truly be a shamed of themselfs)
I'm all about the indie scene and a big supporter of all or anything independent. From movies, music and definitely games. I was probably one of the few who bought indie games on 360 just because.
For this next gen I don't think I'll be able to have all three systems seeing how doing that this gen was sort of a waste but if PS4 can secure or have an open pipe line (like Steam)and bring in games like Hotline:Miami then I will definitely be on board.
Sony, your love is killing me.
There are a lot of reasons why this focus on indie devs is good for sony.
One other reason is to really attract mobile devs and gamers to PS.These will not be android games.
