In this special feature, Nick talks to Douglas Wilson about the no-graphics, all-physical party game Johann Sebastian Joust, as well as the new Sportsfriends package!
After having my interview with Jim Boone, Senior Producer behind the upcoming Saints Row IV game, he decided to ask the Daily Reaction crew of Seb and Dan a question that really made us stop and think. - PSLS
INTERESTING?! Are you kidding me? Revolutionary, and did you see how smooth curved lines are now? HOLY SH**

Sportfriends is developed by a foursome of ingenuity rarely seen in the videogame world. Developers Noah Sasso, Ben Foddy, Doug Wilson and Ramiro Cobretta have created the Kickstarter package know as “Sportsfriends” Think of it like Wii U meet’s Werner Herzog. PS talked to the minds behind this great new idea.
They might not have huge marketing budget or the fancy limos of big studios, but indie developers are able to push the boundaries of what games can do, forcing the industry to change with them. The Daily Reaction team of Seb and Dan discuss how, and get a little teary eyed in the process. - PSLS
I really hope we see a bigger indie movement next gen as there some interesting titles created over the last few years.
Well it's not even a question of creativity. I think you need indie games as a means of exploring ideas that big publishers are too scared to take a financial risk on. There have been tons of ideas within the last two or three years in the indie scene that have gone on to be aped by bigger retail titles.
In fact, I'm surprised that the narrative style of Bastion hasn't shown up in more games since it came out.

2014 will be awsome!
Some really powerful indie games out there, truly the best place to look for something different.
Hopefully. But they need to give developers a realistic reason to switch from iOS and Google Play, which are far larger markets.
I agree with doctor strange. Unifying with those mobile platforms will make PlayStstion Mobile more attractive to indie devs.
I hope so, current mobile games are just plain horrible. EA remade Theme Park and made it utter garbage that charges you at every turn.
Someone needs to turn those games around to show it's not just about repetitive instruction/endless fees
I think the massive AAA games are just too big and limbering to really innovate. Indie games can move and react fluildly.
