Mother Russia Bleeds PS4

The debut game from Paris-based developer Le Cartel takes the classic four-player brawler, grabs it by its throat, and punches it in the face. Set in an alternate USSR, four hardened fighters with crippling drug addictions rise up against an oppressive crime regime with nothing but their bare hands and hunger for vengeance. Mother Russia Bleeds is harsh, unrelenting, and unapologetically violent — taking the beat ‘em up genre to a dark and twisted place that PlayStation fans won’t soon forget.

Mother Russia Bleeds hits PS4 next year with four-player co-op both online and on the couch.

Eitr PS4

Devolver Digital, Eitr 01Some people might recognize Eitr from the gorgeous GIFs that developer Eneme Entertainment has been posting on their development blog for the past six months. The striking presentation and lush animations beautifully tell the tale of the Shield Maiden and her quest to rid the great tree Yggdrasil of the wretched substance eitr, and restore light to the nine realms it connects.

The ultra tight combat, fresh new experience system, and Norse mythology influence make Eitr one of the more unique action RPGs coming to PS4 next year.

Hatoful Boyfriend: Holiday Star

The loveable birds of Hatoful Boyfriend are back in the remastered, holiday-themed sequel Hatoful Boyfriend: Holiday Star! Travel to fantastically styled worlds, meet interesting new chickadees, and find romance in the elegantly designed winter wonderlands.

Dust the snow off your wings and take flight with familiar faces and new friends alike in extraordinary adventures hatched from the whimsical mind of the series creator Hato Moa and developer Mediatonic.

Ronin PS4/Vita

Ronin is a stylish, turn-based action platformer following the exploits of a vengeful heroine determined to strike down five prominent figures of a powerful corporation.

Developed by Tomasz Wacławek — who also works full time at Shadow Warrior 2 developer Flying Wild Hog — players must move with precision by meticulously planning out each silent step, soaring leap, and devastating swing of the blade.

Ronin will hit PS4 and PS Vita in late 2015

Crossing Souls PS4/Vita

Crossing Souls is a vibrant, action-adventure game about a group of neighborhood buddies that set out on a quest to save their town and our world from government conspirators and shadowy forces.

Players will switch between five unassuming heroes on the fly to take advantage of each one’s unique attacks and abilities in a battle against local authorities, evil specters, and creatures of unknown origin. The brilliant colors and classic Saturday morning cartoon aesthetic are truly something special so keep an eye on developer Fourattic for more super rad updates as the game marches towards launch on PS4 and PS Vita!

Fun Fact: the developer is called Fourattic because their office is in an attic they rent out from a woman in their hometown of Seville, Spain!

Freedom Planet when?!

That's the one Indie game I want to grace my OLED.

Some nice selection of games though, might check out Eitr.
 
Hatoful Boyfriend: Holiday Star

FUCKING WOW it was weird enough that they did the base game, but the sequel too?!

I'd highly recommend this if you liked the first one, btw. It's even more fucked up than the first and some parts actually border on psychological horror, others are really, really sad/poignant. You can't say much more without spoiling it. I also just realised you can describe the first game that way too, but this one doubles down on all those things. Enjoy!

Do we even have a solid date for the original Hatoful Boyfriend yet? It's weird that they are talking about Holiday Star before that's out.
 
We're in the Sony E3 booth and we're doing PS4/Vita (and PC and other platforms).

Here are some E3 impressions of our game from Kat Bailey at USGamer: http://www.usgamer.net/articles/on-...-and-why-im-struggling-with-super-mario-maker

Zeboyd Games has quietly been one of the best indie RPG developers for a while now, Cthulhu Saves the World in particular standing out for its outstanding soundtrack, strong battle system, and hilarious script (as I told Robert, I got into Cthulhu Saves the World because it made me laugh within the first five minutes of booting it up). Cosmic Star Heroine is their magnum opus, though. It is miles beyond anything they've done before, with lovingly crafted cutscenes and an atmospheric soundtrack; and in terms of presentation, it stands with anything I've seen on the SNES. It makes me glad that I got lost in the Sony booth.
 
I've been looking for anything on N++. It looks from their twitter like they're there but there's zero footage. Anyone see anything?

No, I've been looking for E3 footage, but found nothing.

They did update their blog last Friday saying it was just about to go through initial certification.
 
My gaming tastes have clearly changed. Don't get me wrong, I'm stoked for an FF VII remake and excited for The Last Guardian... But I wanted to see more indies! Thanks for posting this!
 
Looking at the list.

It's small because a lot of promotional money and pull went toward getting Shenmue 3?

Or it might be because Indie devs have a ton of things to put software on?

Anyhow.

Chock me up for Freedom Planet Vita as well.

No longer boycotting the Wolfenstein franchise
I think this is a new announcement: Willy Chyr's Relativity for PS4

A lot of previously announced games are being shown, many just haven't really been highlighted online yet.

I've seen some release updates on a few indie/digital titles:

Everybody's Gone to Rapture - August 11
Volume - August 18
Galak-Z - Summer
The Tomorrow Children - Fall
Fat Princess Adventures - 2015 TBD
Abzu - first half of 2016


There was a montage of games towards the end of the Sony conference. One of the games shown for just a couple of seconds was sidescroller - it looked like a fantasy world and showed the player fighting a knight in dark armor. Can anyone ID this game?

That is Death's Gambit. Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNZyFJacZGQ
 
Ronin looks a little derivative of Gunpoint but that game owned so whatever. Mother Russia Bleeds looks like it is full of stereotypes. I don't know what to make of Crossing Souls, overall cool trailer.

Super Hyper Cube looked very Polytron. The aesthetic will sit very nicely alongside N++
