Top 5 PS4 Exclusive Indie Games We Can't Wait to Hear More About at E3 2015

OnlySP: In the lead up to the launch of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, Sony did a number of great initiatives, one being engaging numerous indie developers and advertising them as not just a side project of consoles, but one of the main reasons to own a PS4. Even after the release of the PS4, Sony has shown their commitment to the indie scene and established themselves as the indie box (a term which has good and bad connotations), a place for not only for AAA experiences, but for interesting and unique games from independent developers.

rime for sure will be great

[Wingsfan24]

It's an interesting game for sure.

Man, I just finished Alien: Isolation the other day...not sure I can handle another experience like that so soon lol. Really looking forward to SOMA though so I might have to just buckle my seatbelt and "enjoy" the ride.

[Neonridr]

can't wait for SOMA. Amnesia was one of my favorite "scary games".

[MasterCornholio]

Ooo Indies.

My list

1. The Witness
2. No Mans Sky
3. Hellblade
4. Wild
5. Ryme

[Rimeskeem]

1) is are Hellblade and WiLD indies?
2) Rime*

[_-EDMIX-_]

Hellblade is being self published and Ninja Theory owns the IP, I believe that is what an indie is ie independent in its creation, no publisher other then themselves has any influence on that title.

WiLD may not be seen as an indie as Sony is publishing it, (news to me), thus clearly it doesn't just have a independence to do what evers lol, its has a publisher that might dictate certain things.

Same with Rime and even Everyone Gone To Rapture (maybe more so with Everyone's Gone To Rapture as Sony is publishing and owns the IP)

I mean they may have started out independent in concept and maybe thats enough for some to consider them still independent in some respect. (as a game concept anyway).

Ie if we made a game about flying in space and Sony now wants to publish or buy the ip, I feel in some regard the first game can still be called indie as its concept was birthed from an independent entity as suppose to a publisher coming in and saying "we need space game...bring us space game" lol.

But you bring up a great point. Indie means independent and being owned, published or the IP not being owned by the team etc would clearly mean its not independent in some regard. Its been up for debate for some time among gamers as to what that actually means, I tend to lean on the "is it owned, being published" concept.

No Man's Sky not exclusive

[MasterCornholio]

Its console exclusive though.

[Rimgal]

Everybody’s gone to the Rapture is not an indie game. Is being founded by Sony, co produce by Sony Santa Monica, and Sony owns the IP.

[Wingsfan24]

Developed by The Chinese Room, who is an independent studio. SSM is providing support for it, like they did with many other indie titles.

[Rimgal]

Just like SSM supported Ready at Dawn with The Order, and Sony Japan supported From Software with Bloodborne.

Do you consider those games to be Indie as well?

Sony owns and founded those IPs, therefore they are not Indie games.

[Wingsfan24]

The IP may be owned by Sony, but it is being developed by an independent studio, which is The Chinese Room. They partnered with Sony, therefore they are not owned by Sony.

No need to be snotty with the rhetoric there.

[Rimgal]

Just like The Order 1886 was developed by Ready at Dawn, which is an independent studio.

From Software is also an Independent studio. So by your logic Bloodborne is an indie game.

And by your logic we can even go further. Insomniac is an independent studio as well. So by your logic Sunset Overdrive is an indie game.

Everybody’s gone to the Rapture is owned by Sony, and fully paid by them. It's not an indie game, and not even close to it.

my list:
Rime
WiLD
The Forest
No Man's Sky
Starbound
Vanishing of Ethan Carter

[KilluaX3]

Not exclusives

[MasterCornholio]

But they are console exclusives right?

[WizzroSupreme]

All I really want for Christmas this year from Playstation is some No Man's Sky and some Witness for my virtual stocking.

[TWB]

Rime!

Havent heard about it in a while, hoping some news from the E3.

[Nodoze]

Where is Galak-Z?? I am SO looking forward to that game. It has gone silent and was supposed to be released last year.
