Dunno.. was listening to a podast from lastweek (Joystiq). Start listening at 22.00, it took Microsoft 3 months to reply to an Indie developer who wanted to work for them. It doesn't really seem they care.

Of course they do, but that doesn't make the topic title any less misleading.

Oooo look at all those Playstation games.
Sony are doing some very impressive things at the start of the new gen/end of the old gen.

OP just copied the Blog post's title -- I agree he probably should have mentioned the source in the title, but still, plenty of people in here who've actually read the content properly. Which is good. Still think the title could do with a change btw... "Indie Developers Choose PS4, PS3, PS Vita", says Sony
Hotline miami is a really nice get, and spelunky looks awesome too - not actually played that

GAF isn't known as a forum that favors any single platform. You simply see what you choose to see. And yes, there are alot of Sony threads this week because Sony is making a big push at GDC and PAX while MS and Nintendo are not.

it's LoudNinja. what you expect
Vita is really carving out a future for itself as a very viable albeit niche player in the market. At this point, that's exactly what it needs to be doing. It's dead as a mainstream retail success, but it's got a hell of a lot to offer other area's of the market.
I bought and sold a launch Vita, and up until recently I didn't regret that for even a second, but between PS+ and recent gains with the indie market, I'm pining for one now.

Well this goes back to the Rob Crossley piece on CVG about Microsoft not courting these small and middle-sized devs at GDC, and it not really being a very wise thing to do.

reminds me of farnham rant about how gametrailers was giving so much ps4 coverage, and the wiiU didn't get the same treatment. man, that thread was pure gold.
Lol Warriors! Come out and plaaaaaaay!
I want more iOS and PSN/XBLA games on Vita. No excuse for iOS games not to be ported as the iPad hardware is too similar to Vita.

Phoenix Wright
Ghost Trick
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Crazy Taxi
The Room

Kaz is bringing the King back to it's throne.
I'm not one for your average indie, but Hotline Miami is superb. One of the best soundtracks I've heard in gaming.

Any examples of how they're being severely underestimated?
MS doesn't get much recognition on these boards compared to Sony but to say Gaf is Sony land is beyond stretching the truth.

What would be a good price for Unity for PS mobile? PSM SDK costs $99, but you won't need it if you use Unity, so maybe $250? Does that sound fair?
I do agree that SCE needs to solve the performance issues with PSM. I heard that it's nearly impossible to try to create a 3D game on there.

I talked to the programmer for "They Bleed Pixels" at PAX, and he said he doesn't plan on bringing the game to XBLA because he said this exactly:
"They [MS] didn't just drop indie support, they threw it on the ground and stomped on it. They don't care anymore."
Also, a lot of devs talked about how they used XNA tools (MS's tools) to make their games, but now since it's dropped (as of last month) they don't plan on working with it anymore and are looking for other "venues" and "platforms" to go to.
I think things are very bleak for MS, and the longer they hold out on announcing their next platform AND their tools for them, it'll only get worse.
Its me what?I copy and paste the title and have a link to it in the op.
I will asked for a title change though.Man people always trying to start something.

Microsoft has a very strong indie lineup perhaps better than the ps3 ever had. I guess perception is reality. Microsoft suffers in the quantity of big retail releases for the past few years. XBLA is really great.

PS3 has not suffered at all really. That includes retail and PSN which is arguably as good as XBLA despite some opinions.
The best thing about 360 is the XBLA games not really the XBLA service (pay to play).

My biggest problem with the ps3 is not having very many great first party games. They release a lot of games I am not interested in or games that are serious let downs.

Now they do, and for all of this generation they have, but this is about next gen. And it sounds like Sony is doing a better job than Microsoft at securing next gen indie titles.
I'm guessing he's referring to your Sony love. It's not like you hide it. It's also not a bad thing since you rarely if ever bag on other platforms. You simply love Sony. I'm not sure why it needs a title change. It's accurate. Indies are coming to Vita and PS4. That's the story. The fanboy angle isn't yours, it's more the people that say stupid shit like, "LOL Sony is running away with this already!" before one console has even been announced. Meanwhile there's Nintendo over there also providing a nice home to indies. At the end of the day, it looks like between iOS/Android, Sony, and Nintendo indies aren't going anywhere. Thank god for that. It's still weird to see Microsoft give them the middle finger though (starting with the killing of XNA).

I think they've slowed down a little in that regard. Still a good solid and somewhat diverse last year but you can tell things are winding down and they are focused on next gen.

XBLA is in fact a pay-to-play service. Just like Steam. Just like the eshop. Just like PSN. I'm guessing it was your attempt to take a veiled shot at *XBL*, which XBLA is not. Anyone can buy and play XBLA titles, and anyone can download and play the XBLA demos regardless of subscription.

You've posted similar things in several threads, but do is it your own speculation or have you heard something to indicate they'll be doing this. Because securing the big blockbusters as exclusives, something that they didn't even do this gen, would be extremely expensive. Black Ops 2 for example made 1b in 15 days. Activision is able to do that by releasing it on every platform possible. Do you think that MS would be willing to pay them whatever needed to offset the money that they'll no longer get from releasing their games on non-MS platforms?

Castle Crashers/Alien Hominid <- I don't care if these are technically indie or not. They are must-haves.
What's so hard to understand Sony. Also, while you're doing things, do Dyad!
Obviously I don't care if it's not on Vita. Indies = handheld now.
We know Terraria could be coming to Vita but anyone know if Minecraft is a possibility at all?

Wait, you don't approve of a positive Playstation thread? I'm shocked.
It's the "tittle" of a Playstation blog post.
Maybe you should read morn than the thread title?

I believe that the remote play is a requirement for PS4 titles. The Witcher 3 developer mentioned it in an interview a week or so ago I believe
Here it is

I don't care where the the thread tittle came from. He should have had the sense to change it.
This would work out so freaking amazing especially if retail games are Day 1 DD and I can play over wifi at work ;P
My biggest question is going to be about the laggggggg

vita remote play requirement for ps4 games would be pretty cool.
who would've known, noobasaur shitting up yet another sony thread.
It's "title" not "tittle". Not sure getting this up in arms about the title is worth it but then again I'm trying to mellow out!

I still don't see what's wrong with the thread title. Did the indie devs in question not choose to develop for PS4/Vita? It seems like they did. Is your problem that you're reading the title and adding in your mind "...over PC/Xbox/iOS/Nintendo"? Because they have'nt done that. They'd be morons to choose one platform. They're indies. They need as much exposure they can get. Sony's struggled with indies for a long time, which is why the title fits. They're finally getting their act together.
