PlayStationing writes: "Journey is perhaps one of the most famous and successful examples of indie games in recent memory, being a critically acclaimed darling and winning several Game of The Year awards, despite many believing that a download-only game would never win such an award. Sony’s senior business development manager Shahid Ahmad has been leading the charge to bring more indie titles to the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita for a few years now, and it’s definitely working."
Games Asylum: "Even though the Vampire Survivors influenced ‘auto shooter’ genre isn’t long in the tooth, I’m still surprised that it has taken this long for a Roman gladiator-themed rendition to come along – especially with a sequel to Ridley Scott’s 2000 box office hit Gladiator imminent. It’s thematically perfect, with its circular arena in which one man stands alone against hordes of enemies, grabbing loot as they survive one wave to the next."
Sparking Zero is doing what Xenoverse won't.
Ben Sledge from TheGamer Writes "I’m already impressed with Supergiant’s commitment to improving body diversity in the Hades 2 technical test."
There's a reason they're called 'gods' and not 'regular people'. It's nice they've diversified even more but gods looking godly wasn't exactly a glaring issue with the first game.
No one had an issue with that besides a very select group of people that try to push their own agenda.
I LOVE indie games, don't care what other people think (unless they agree) i've enjoyed so many this gen, I recently finished Brothers, it's a superb game i'm really glad I got to play it (thanks PS+) it's such a charming game
The problem is some people have trouble having an imagination, their brains are locked off to new experiences
Sony truly loves indies because they are the filler for AAA and AA for what we are waiting for months on end and Sony knows this!
Indies are o.k but consoles need triple A (because the PC will always be the best platform for indies and unlike triple A titles, you don't really need a high end pc to play indies, so consoles have literally 0 advantages over pcs when it comes to indies)
My favorite PS4 game by far is Resogun, at least as far as exclusives go. And Journey was probably my favorite game on PS3 last gen. And my favorite game overall this gen is Super Time Force. The indie scene is killing it!
I have nothing against indie games, but I have a sneaking suspicion that Sony is going after them so much so they can bolster the PS4's offerings and put out less AAA content, or at least have something in between long years of development.
That's just a feeling I've had ever since this huge indie push started.
