PlayStation Indie Showcase in a Half-Hour

Weird thing just happened for Skulls.

Sony deleted the post they made about the game coming to PS4 and PS Vita, and made a new post about it just coming to PS4.

Here's the old one: http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...58.1848j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8

Notice how the old post makes reference of cross-platform multiplayer, etc.

And there’s so much multiplayer to go around! Skulls supports cross-platform, asynchronous multiplayer, so you can battle across PS4 and Vita, taking turns at your leisure. We also have Team Deathmatch modes with the Deadly Alliance feature, which lets you team up with another general… until one of you winds up stabbing the other in the back (It’s inevitable!).

New one completely got rid of that.
 
Some of these look really good.

But I don't have money to buy all of them :( I need some Steam like sales on PS4 to grab an handful of them in the Summer. Do it Sony!

Really great announcement. Good stuff Sony.

Probably not quite sure if they can make launch the same date yet? Something like that?
 
We need some new threads for this or a major thread title update.

How many games were just announced for PS4 in total? Crazy.
 
Because MS wants to Shackle them to Xbox first. Sony treats Indies like Princesses and gives them the freedom they want to release whenever they feel ready. Sony does not force them into parity.
MS just wants day one parity, not exclusivity. Sony had the same rule last generation, they'd have it now if they didn't already have the generation in the bag, so they don't need to.

If it's like the majority of the other indie games on PS3, they all eventually go on deep discount with a PS+ membership.
 
FUCKING YES!!!

Also like someone said. Very interesting way to reveal these games, but this is probably the best way. I'm hoping Sony brings the HEAT at E3

Honestly this has been an amazing week for Sony and the PS4. Destiny footage this past monday, DriveClub trailer and release date. FW release and now this. Will Sony give us something tomorrow?
 
Axiom Verge looks amazing and seems set to fill that Metroid void that is in all our hearts.

I see a PS4 happening in the next few months at this rate too, damn it Sony.

Sony didn't have day one parity last generation the way ID@Xbox has been described or we wouldn't have seen Limbo and Braid come to PS3.

What's the budget on these titles?
What's the opposite of AAA? I think it's "Junk"
 
I've not had a chance to watch through every game trailer yet, but Drifter looks really good for and I will more than likely be getting that.

Who do we thank? Shahid? Probably Shahid. :)

Well those games were initially published by MS, so I'm not sure in that sense, but certainly disc games were forced to offer exclusive content if they were on 360 exclusively first.
 
You may be able to get all 12 of the games for the cost of 1 CoD game.
All I'm reading is that Adam Boyes fucked up with the COD map pack deal and you're playing defense by hyping these "games."

I'd take any COD map over any of these games any day of the week. At least those are 60fps.

As shitt as all that stuff is, that's still not what the current gripe from people is with ID@Xbox. Search term: Launch day parity.

Hopefully I can grab the ones I'm more interested.

I think a centralised sale like the Summer sale would be more beneficial than sporadic sales since you are expecting and could put some money on the side for those games.
 
I want Nidhogg and Chasm on Vita. :( Chasm's demo left me really wanting for a lot more, a year or two ago. It's pretty much my type of game.

Axiom Verge looks fucking amazing and I hadn't even heard about it until now. It being for Vita makes me a happy camper.

Proper pixel art, none of that rotatey, different scales stuff.

Glad to see I'm not the only one that has this pet peeve! I've hated different scales even way back in SMB3's giant world. I also hate it when it's just pixelated sprites on a larger resolution and pixels don't even line up. Yuck.
 
My god... So many games... pretty soon the store is going to be crazy to navigate.
Isn't it already? Most of the time I can only find games by searching their names and I get all sorts of things mixed up with them as a result.
 
Which are Vita? Axiom, Drifter and Skulls?

I would have liked Chasm - but it's still pretty good.

I think Chasm is being developed by just one guy right? I would not be surprised to see many of these show up on Vita, but they need to prioritize release with limited manpower.

And now they don't have the same rule. And you have no proof of that acusation. I'm tired of this stupid narrative people are trying to push that if this generation went a different way, Sony would do these things. You have no proof, and honestly, it doesn't matter unless we are strictly talking theoreticals.
Well, they just got more pre-release attention from Sony than they would have ever received from Valve. So there is that. :)
I also imagine you will start seeing more of these games featured on the demo unit sizzle reels.
Ouch. But true. Valve just can't win with Greenlight it seems.

Oh Benny...
 
Axiom Verge is a pub fund game, so there's likely a small period of exclusivity, no?

Yup! I wasn't aware it was Pub Fund.

What's the difference between many and most?

Many refers to an indefinite, large number of something. Most is the superlative form of many. People generally use the term "many" to reference "a lot" of something, and "most" to reference "a majority" of something.
