12 Big New Indie Games Announced For PS4 & PS Vita

Nidhogg, Chasm, Spelunky PS4, Skulls of the Shogun, Drifter, Apotheon & more coming to PS4 & PS Vita

[DVS-Zev]

Some really great games there.Drifter looking really good.Nidhogg, apotheon and skulls of shogun are day one buys as well.

I'm really digging these little indie titles lately.Some of the bigger indie devs (warframe, outlast etc) are great too but i have had so much fun with the smaller games.I probably put some 100 hours or so into Don't starve and half as much into Mercenary kings by now.They're a nice change of pace from the usual $60 rinse and repeat mediocre games i bought over the last 8 years.

Sony must be making a killing with all these download games to the PS4 since it launched. I can imagine that all these indie developers making PS4 games has raked in a lot of revenue

[DigitalRaptor]

Yeah, it really is great business for these indie devs as they know PlayStation fans are big supporters of these smaller downloadables.

Recent example is Towerfall Ascension selling best on PS4: http://www.gamespot.com/art...

[DemonChicken]

Argeed I brought alot especially with my PS+, dat sales xD

This is really how a company should approach digital and online, and not enforcing it via DRM.

Sony's new plan to only come out with 1 first party blockbuster title per year and the rest being indie, so lame.

[Kingthrash360]

360's last blockbuster...alan wake in 2011.
whats lame?
and 1 blockbuster a year??????
infamous ss, the order, drive club.in this comment ill leave out the remakes like tlou..and halo 2. because they are awsome games but from another generation and are not new incoming games.
xbox1 1st party blockbusters.....ummm sunset and tf are not first party games sunset neither is dr3 and ryse..thos are also 3rd party games...but if we are talking exclusive blockbusters then this year x1 has...tf...no that wasnt an exclusive,...umm QB. and sunset..which hasnt been seen yet to call it an "blockbuster" so only QB? smh really whats more lame than a system with the least blockbusters AND not many indies AND the worst versions of 3rd party games...ALL AT A HIGHER PRICE...smh thats LAME in comparison no?

i love games..i dont care if its and indie or AA or AAA if its fun i'm all for it. my most anticipated games are rime and the order.
indies that hit systems are a great thing for gaming and classic award winning games like fez, the walking dead and journey are all worth the price and are truly engaging games. indies are awsome and proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you dont need to spend millions to make a great goty caliber game.....i cant stand wannabe gamers, real gamers have a passion that goes beyond whats most popular or whats trending or the differance between indie and AAA "blockbuster" games. but u wouldn't understand what i mean by that..would you.

[crxss]

alan wake really? lmao

like i said, this is their NEW plan. just look at the title of this article if you can't see it. games that are already far in development are not apart of this. i'm a huge sony fan and it's just sad to see we wont see the 2-3 blockbusters a year from sony. they're gonna take less risks which is smart but sad seeing how releasing multiple blockbusters a year is how they've made their brand. they're pretty much putting all the burden on ND, could be why so many changes are happening over there.

also the order's going to be a 2015 release. and driveclub was supposed to be a launch title lol

[Zero-One]

You obviously have no brain if you believe consoles always have the best games during it's beginning years.

[jessupj]

So I guess when MS virtually abandoned the 360 in the last half of last generation that was catatonic?

[Kingthrash360]

awsomeness....i like gamessss! the more the merrier!
i got my eye on drifter.

[Prime157]

All of them look so fun to me. Drifter and source especially.

[amnalehu]

Keep and eye out for "To Leave". Looks very promising.

[DigitalRaptor]

Dayum Sony.

I'm usually pretty up to date with indie releases, but I'm going to have to go through this list and see which ones appeal to me. Spelunky is a big one, as well as Jamestown and Source, but the rest are a mystery to me.

[incendy35]

For those interested you can play "I believe" all of these right now. Just go to http://store.steampowered.c...

No need to wait, plus the requirements on almost all of them is really low!

Edit: why are people disagreeing with a helpful link? : (

[PSN-JeRzYzFyNeSt]

no thanks ill wait for them on PS4.. so it feels fresh

[Neonridr]

because everyone hates PC gamers apparently. Thanks for the link, I may check out one or two of them. No offense to all the PS4 owners here, but why not buy them on the PC for like half the cost you are going to pay on the PS4? Again, most of these titles have low system requirements. Or are you all just going to wait and hope that a bunch of these end up as the PS+ titles?

[candy_mafia]

Let's do the Math....

Sony+Indies+PSNxPS+ equals one happy PS4 owner :)

[Xdone]

* high fives *

[candy_mafia]

We got Stick it to the Man today too!

I'm so happy to sub PS+, it's the most giving service I ever signed up to. I still have PS3 and D/L all the PS+ games on my 1TB HDD.

Tons of games with an estimated value of over $1000 accumulated over the years I been a PS+ subscriber!

Crazy when it's put like that huh? lulz :)

[jessupj]

PSN Plus...

The gift that keeps on giving.

[Everlastingfate]

I didn't buy either of these systems so that I can play a bunch of 16-bit Indie games. Where are the tripple A titles?

[GarrusVakarian]

"Where are the tripple A titles?"

E3?

They are getting indies out of the way NOW so that they don't take up as much time at E3. Also, if you genuinely believe that they are all just "16-bit inide games" then you are ignorant.

[Mackonthemoon]

A triple A title means it has a big budget. Doesn't necessarily mean it's a masterpiece. Most indies lack budgets to have superb graphics, but the gameplay is often amazing. Don't be quick to judge. Play a few indies you might like them.

[kingdom18]

At E3. If Indies were really Sony's big guns they wouldn't be announcing them now.

[andibandit]

Your own fault for buying early.... my first console was a Sega Master Entertainment system, and by experience i've learned to wait.

[Clogmaster]

Triple A titles like Too Human? Lair? Haze? Or PS3 Skyrim?

The movie Water World?

Money means potential, doesn't guarantee anything though.

[crxss]

expect less AAA titles from Sony. 1 a year after 2015 probably.

[Zero-One]

Sheesh, gamers like you don't know what they want anymore do they? They stated they everything feels the same at the end of the previous gen, but now that indies are shaking the formula, they now want to go back to the sameness of AAA? Just fucking pick!

[SoulSercher620]

Then you bought the systems too early. Your fault not theirs. Should've waited.

[uth11]

For a system with "no games" I can't keep up! :)

[unicron7]

I know right? Playstation is doooOooooomed. Says the guys who's main console of choice has less games and inferior tech. I sometimes wonder what world they are living in.

[godofboobees]

Axiom verge looks so fun to play

[candy_mafia]

Nice to see so much exposure for Indie Devs and great relationships with Indie studios. I can't wait to play all the best exclusive PS4/X1/Wii U Indie games.

#childoflight ;)
#spelunky ;)
#below ;)
#cloudberrykingdom ;)

I love having access to all the consoles. I get to play the best and worst of everything!

[Stick89]

Child of Light isn't indie :/

[Zero-One]

Still, it's fairly rare to see games like Child of Light these days.

[Tripl3seis]

Child of light is awesome love that game

[mysteryraz11]

when is rime and shadow of the beast coming out

[jspsc123]

I must be the only one who doesn't like indie or free to play games. I have had a PS4 and PS+ since day 1 and downloaded everything that was free and have been disappointed.

[Neonridr]

Resogun was a great game, very addictive. Contrast was ok, had a good idea but the game didn't feel very fleshed out by the time you got to the end. Don't Starve was ok, just a PC port. Outlast was fantastic, I had already played it on the PC, but giving it a second go to get the trophies. Dead Nation is a fun game, even better with a friend. Mercenary Kings is cool as a co-op game, but if you're not a fan of Metal Slug or Contra, then this game won't really appeal to you. Stick it to the Man looks cool, but definitely a little wacky and out there.

I wouldn't say I am disappointed, but I would like to see more original games show up as the PS+ games, and not just ports.

[SoulSercher620]

I will always welcome indies. More games the better. I'd rather have indies coming than no games at all.

And for those complaining they didn't buy the PS4 to play indies:

You knew full well what the launch lineup was and that there wasn't going to be a ton of AAA games early into 2014 yet you bought the system anyway. It's no one's fault but your own. If you're one of these people then you bought the system too early. Plain and simple. You need to have something called patience.

[MAULxx]

Jamestown is marvelous. I have it on steam but I'll be getting for the PS4.

[Neonridr]

Chasm looks ridiculously fun. Can't wait to try that out.
