"A recent press release came in through email and from the @Nnooo Twitter account alerting everyone to the news that the Sydney-based developer of escapeVektor on Vita is now an approved PS4 developer. Sony Computer Entertainment Europe approved them for development on PlayStation 4 and they are already hard at work on a new game."
Former EA developer and the founder of indie developer Nnooo, Nic Watt, has revealed an EA Pokémon competitor was in the works.
Wouldn't they normally just buy a company who is working on a Pokemon like a game. Then close them and make them do something else?
Pokemon Battle Revolution was pretty awesome, but we need another game like Pokemon Colosseum, with multiple regions to explore. Hoenn, Kanto, Johto, Sinnoh. Where we can traverse all those regions defeating their respective gym leaders and Elite Fours. With all pokemon available, all wrapped up with a pretty good story. Why has Nintendo not done this yet? That has triple A all over it. Could be a potential GOTY.
Mark from PN2 reviews Blast 'em Bunnies by Aussie studio, Nnooo.
"Blast ’em Bunnies isn’t your typical console experience. It feels more like the best kind of mobile game combined with a classic arcade shooter, brought over to the big boys leagues with extra content. It’s the perfect antidote between bouts of The Division or Halo."
AA writes, "With the launch of Blast ‘Em Bunnies imminent, Analog Addiction had a chance to speak to one of the creative minds behind these games, Nnooo Creative Director and Founder Nic Watt."
This is an early sign of the Indie push, nothing else. PS4, like the Vita, digital games market will be driven by award winning contenders made by Indies. Guacamelee, Sound Shapes and Journey come to mind.
That's good, the more developers the better.
