"Shahid Kamal Ahmad is the most important man in PlayStation gaming right now. And you don't even know who he is.
Well, you probably don't, but if that's the case, you most certainly will. Think about how big the last few months have been for Sony and indie development. Shahid Ahmad is responsible for most of it."
IGN: "If our two-hour hands-on preview is any indication of the rest of the game, then Visions of Mana's fresh take on battle and class systems not only gives it the potential to meet the success of the originals but possibly even the chance to surpass them."
It's balancing old and new, then, and embracing a sort of breezy retro simplicity. Pleasing as that is, though, it so far feels a little shallow by comparison to other genre heavy-hitters. Despite moving to an open world and offering sumptuous presentation, Visions of Mana clings to the past and lacks truly fresh ideas of its own. It's a welcome return and a fun, bubbly, frivolous experience, but the Mana series looks set to remain in the shadow of Square Enix's premiere franchises for now.
Hopes are high as Open Roads allows us to take in a Game Pass, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC road trip.
I'm really impressed by Sony's push to embrace indies. It doesn't feel like a gimmick or afterthought. The people seem to actually give a damn. Support the indie devs!
I know who he is, he is doing a killer job at SCEE. I think the entire 10 man team deserves alot of praise, for what they are doing. Sony as a company is just embracing indie gaming, with the new indie store(can still find them on the normal store pages) and all these delicious indie games like Hotline Miami and Guacamelee.
I definitely can see indie games being very successful for the ps4 & if u have a ps vita, u can take your game on the go. PSN will definitely improve drastically with the ps4.
keep up the good work shahid... ^_^
