When I first saw Rime I also thought it should be on the list of one of the games to watch out for in 2015. Agreed.

leganord3833d ago

This can probably be said of other games in that list, but how is Rime an indie game? It's being made by a studio of ~20 veteran developers and published by Sony.

Being a small sized project compared to the AAA behemots doesn't automatically make a game indie, just like David Cage's games are not indie despite being pretentious garbage.

This is why I hate the term 'indie' as its used today...the same could be said about 'indie rock', most of those guys are on major labels & their albums & tours cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to promote & create. Will Rime see a boxed in store release? That's about the only qualifier that makes any sense these days, and soon that will be a no go as well once we see the AAA titles proliferate to a point where boxed copies are harder to find. Rime looks amazing no matter what label people need to put on it, and 'indie' games are typically some of the most memorable experiences I've had in the past 2 gens, its high time they be recognized for their quality, and I think 2015 will be the year they really get their due...can't wait to see a game like Rime or Everybody's Gone to the Rapture put up AAA numbers.

How is Rime not on this list?? That game looks incredible, especially with its ico feel about it. And that open world one where you can be different things. I can't remember what it's called :/

Out of this list though, inside and ori and the blind Forrest are my most anticipated. Ori was part of the reason I got an Xbox in the end!

Whitey2k3834d ago

My reason to got ps4 is ethan Carter . Wild . Rime . No mans sky . Everybody gone to rapture . Insomia or What ever u call it

ninsigma3834d ago (Edited 3834d ago )

By getting an Xbox in The end I meant after a year of it being out after having the ps4 since launch. You are more than welcome to reply to my comments, but don't turn a legit topic into your stupid fanboy wars. Bubble down.

Edit:
Oh and wild was the one I couldn't remember the name of. Thank you for that.

No Man's Sky (Switch 2) - Hello Games' Classic Without Cuts Or Concessions | NintendoLife

"No Man's Sky - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition brings this excellent, constantly evolving space survival adventure to your new Nintendo console in fine style. This is an almost-perfect match for other versions of the game, barring some very minor hiccups here and there.

Combat is still a bit naff, especially in space, and hardcore pirates might not get all they need from the systems in place here, but other than that, this is an almost perfect port of an almighty behemoth of a game. The sky, it seems, really has no limits." - PJ O'Reilly | NintendoLife

I am tempted to get the switch 1 version.

Do it! It's still on sale until next week, then score your free upgrade.

It's so nice being able to continue our save from other platforms while on the go. (For me, PS5, PC & VR) I'm headed out of town this weekend and I plan on taking it with me. :)

That's a nice little surprise.

Honestly I gotta hand it to Hello Games. They really turned this game into something else with their dedication to it. A rocky start, but the game is unrecognizable to what we had at launch.

MAN, Hello Games just keeps on trucking with this game, and are REALLY showing other developers how to earn some good will with their fans.
