List of Games on Display in Sony's GDC Both
- Thread starter Vanillalite
- Start date
I think InFamous is only there because its launches this week.
Helldivers is so awesome.
It's ridiculous how much I'm looking forward to it because it's a game based around concepts from 15 years ago that so few games have used in the last 5 years. (Friendly fire.)

There's also 4 related Infamous talks, so it's not surprising:

I wish they would eventually release the conferences to the public a la Steam Dev Days. I would love to catch the Sony conferences with the new tech and the other one with Naughty Dog. That and Occulus Rift.
Devs probably want an event of there own though. We get E3 but GDC is so great for just the art of making games.

The weight of indie content in their booth is not happenstance. This is a developer conference where a large proportion of the attendees now identify as 'indie' (per the GDC2013 survey). Sony presumably wants to show it is serious about showcasing and promoting such developers' content.
This isn't about promoting their own games.

No more Phil and no more Fez 2. Gotta find work where you can get it.

They release a portion of the archive Vault to free access.
For example:

http://www.gdcvault.com/free/gdc-12
http://www.gdcvault.com/free/gdc-11
etc.
It's taken from the promo shot of the borderlands 2 vita bundle. But even still, the important thing is framerate (even the console versions struggled to be 30fps) and audio. I'm 99.99% sure it will be sub-native resolution, but if the framerate is solid, and the audio is not a horribly compressed mess, I will get it.

I don't mind the indie focus, I just want stuff I haven't played before.

Too many bloody indie games.
I want more maintstream titles.

Its a conference for Game Devs, not typically to showcase games but tools/engines
10 of the 15 games you couldn't have played before unless you're a person that gets early access to preview builds from publishers.
11 if you never got to play Sportsfriend while they showed that around the country.

start tweeting @Yosp they need to hear it. Although, he did say last year it would only be indie or AAA, no middle tier games anymore....
Cellar Door, Trapdoor were the people who made Warp, right?

Or people can pay attention to what this venue is and/or read the thread.
E3.

Oh, I know, I was replying directly to his point.
This is where the discussion should be:
You know of the fuckton of retail games coming, the appearance of tons of indie games didn't make those go away. GDC just isn't the place to show them for any publisher.

I want nine of those games:
Counterspy
Infamous Second Son
Hohokum
Child of Light
Rogue Legacy
Sportsfriends
Towerfall Ascension
Borderlands 2
Luftrausers
Sony really is doing an amazing job attracting indie games to their platform right now.

For what's supposed to be a hardcore gaming forum, you'd think there would be more general awareness of what an annual industry conference that's been going on for over 25 years is mainly about.

Didn't a number of those games have various issues at launch?

The majority of those titles are new games that have not been on other platforms.
I think we're going to be pleasantly surprised.

I'm not talking about this list in particular. More in general. PS4 PC ports get me less excited than even PSV PC stuff.

Agreed and sorry if I came off as combative.
On top of these smaller titles (Hell Divers the only one I'm familiar with), I wonder if we'll be getting some good insight through engine demos on what's coming next. Epic Game's always were interesting at GDC for that reason, as well as their engine being the spearhead of a lot of last gen titles.

Well, here are ten games. The system is also less than ix months old. Games will come in time. Rime, Everyone's Gone to the Rapture, The Witness, etc... In the meantime enjoy the fact that a variety of games are being made available.
AAA games sell consoles and build hype, yes. The smaller niche of games keeps players using them in the interim between big budget games. Couple this with PS+ and you've got a pretty great outlook.
Microsoft, on the other hand, has been fairly myopic with their lineup of "smaller" titles. Besides Titanfall, I can't think of another console exclusive I'm jazzed to play on the Xbox One right now, big or small. As much as I really LIKE Titanfall, one game isn't enough to justify the $499 asking price.
The delineation between PS + and XBL Gold is that I feel as if I am paying for something of value. So many features I already have to spend money on are behind a paywall, such as Netflix, Hulu, and so on. Why do I need to give Microsoft money to have features offered for free on the PlayStation Network, Steam, and Nintendo's online component? It's like I'm just throwing money into an abyss.

Hell yes.
That doesn't mean it won't show up

You are going to hate this new generation then. Games are polarizing now. The middle tier game is gone. Get ready for a handful of AAA franchises and a ton of indies.
Well my guess is that they needed work now that Phil Fish decided to give up...
They are both small indie devs from Montreal so it's not that much of a stretch.
They really aren't. Stuff like The Witness are the new mid tier. They are indie as well, but even then they might be more impressive than mid tier games in the past.

E3 for that my friend. Like always.
Plus it makes sense, Polytron is releasing Fez on a bunch of other platforms (Including PS4)
But i'm actually not sure who's working on it, Renaud Bédard went to work for Capygames.
Polytron lists 2 employees, and I was under the assumption it was Phil and Renaud.

You knew what the lineup for the first year was like when you bought your PS4. Maybe you shouldn't have bought it in the first place
I want as many good games as possible. Regardless of their team size or financial backing.

Any extra footage you could throw up on youtube? A lot of us won't be at GDC........
Urgh yeah, I'd like to put up some new footage if I get time. We just got a bunch of new backgrounds in, so now you're flying over planets and seeing crazy space storms and flying through asteroid belts and shiz, it looks real neat.
