Support NeoGAF

[DICKS AHOY]

Watch as a portion of GAF goes from hating Fish to loving him with one single quote.

Not that he isn't totally right mind you. Abysmal reveal.

 

[oVerde]

Phil Fish just redeemed himself in the eyes of a lot of gaffers.

we're supposed to *not* like Phil Fish right?

[LiquidMetal14]

The ONLY terrible things we've heard are many contradictory reports about how discs are going to work and that backwards compatibility is a no go.

Everything else seems pretty reasonable.

People primarily seem angry because they didn't SHOW enough games, so oh no, Microsoft, despite having announced that they're doing more games than either of their comptitors, isn't making a box for games anymore.

Admittedly, I am disappointed about the games mainly but the platform is not what am I asking for at all.

I know E3 will shed some positive news for them but with all the other negative bits, it's hard to make much of a positive opinion on the whole on the new Xbox.

 

[Heart of Black]

Lots more people reacted... I love the picking and choosing of who is an indie dev worth quoting...

 

[sajj316]

Indie, the Vita loves you!!!!

With Love,
The Vital
<3

Seriously, the indies have better avenues to get content on! MS found a new girlfriend!

 

[Zia]

James Silva's quote is shameful.

 

[Oersted]

If it was exactly the same, then Indies would have a similar level of buzz for Wii U. Now while I doubt any indies would say Wii U is a bad environment for them - Nintendo has made great strides and definitely deserves credit, as did Microsoft for the way they pushed indie products on XBLA - there's also no doubt that a clear preference has emerged in the new gen, and that IS because Sony is simply pushing and supporting way harder.

WiiU has Unity support and indies games frontload, PS3/PS4/Vita will have. There is always more buzz about what will happen, then what had happened. And regarding, 3DS, well of course they have bigger/better and more exclusive indie support than Vita.

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

OMG that Phil Fish quote!! :lol

 

[STG!]

Yep, it was expected they would not be pleased. I was not happy with this too.

LOL, this fucking dog gets funnier and funnier!

 

[newjeruse]

James Silva's quote is shameful.

Reads like a PR statement.

 

[RawkHawk2010]

but the D-pad looks really nice.

This speaks volumes about the amount of good things Xbox One has going for it.

 

[Zia]

Reads like a PR statement.

Well, he owes his career to Microsoft, but come on. Expect better of him.

 

[boingball]

Phil Fish's quote is AMAZING.

Hey, if Riccitiello can be right from time to time while still being the devil, then so can Fish.

 

[JWong]

Phil Fish's quote is AMAZING.

Buzzwords like "Rocket Science!" and "Science and Magic".

Those were such obvious BS from the conference.

 

[hwy_61]

Phil Fish's quote is AMAZING.

As soon as I saw his name, I knew it was going to be gold.

 

[Brinbe]

OH man, that Phil Fish quote. And fuck I forget that they did delay this shit a month. Wow, all that time for absolute garbage. Time well-spent!

 

[Brokun]

That was pretty amazing to read all of those diplomatic quotes and then finish with

What a giant load of shit that was!

Ah Phil, never change.

 

[Froli]

Sorry if this is already posted.

 

[Quicksilver4648]

Phil Fish is still an a-hole but I'll let him slide this time. His comment is too true to be ignored.

 

[isual]

well said Phil.

definitely mah nigga

 

[Kreunt]

Phil Fish is the hero GAF deserves.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

It seems like most of them don't want to burn bridges with MS. The mere fact that they mostly talk about the other non-gaming features of the console speaks volumes pf the conference.

Sorry if this is already posted.

So I guess no Minecraft for XB1?

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Yep, it was expected they would not be pleased. I was not happy with this too.

You see, people on here always find a way to impress me. I don't have the creativity to make such a great gif.

 

[soul creator]

My guess is they're taking more of an Apple approach to indie games. Apple never does anything special to get all the major cell phone games, they just started with a relatively cheap and easy to use platform. If the whole "windows 8 core is used for apps" thing is true, they maybe games just become part of the normal app outreach

Would be interesting to see what the performance differences are, though

 

[maquiladora]

Yep, it was expected they would not be pleased. I was not happy with this too.

Best gif today.

 

[twinturbo2]

Phil Fish's quote is AMAZING.

Yeah, I responded to him on twitter and got blocked by him.

I probably shouldn't have called him a one-hit-wonder, though, even if that is accurate.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Actually agree with Phil here. I really hope PS4 takes this opportunity to sweep these disgruntled indie devs off their feet. Support for indie devs is going to be very important 'next gen' I believe. I'm sure many others do as well.

 

[UrbanRats]

I find it very weird their total lack of indie presence, given that they basically launched the phenomenon on consoles, with the 360.

Are you even able to self publish on Xbone?

 

[Glorified G]

The whole presentation felt sort of awkward, but the D-pad looks really nice.

lol. dat backhanded compliment.

 

[1-D_FTW]

Zero to hero :lol

 

[Windu]

Sorry if this is already posted.

shit, my car has a radio. I want to drive, not listen to music!

 

[Zoramon089]

That about puts it into perspective right there. Just a staggering unveiling.



I mean, I don't know the price of dev kits, but Sony is actively courting Indie's every which way to Sunday, has provided the most expansive set of tools available yet on a Sony platform for Indie devs, promotes their Indie games front and center, endless support.

They really changed their fortunes around. Indie devs can't stop saying positive things about PS4.

Well, Nintendo has Unity 4 Pro for free and has practically given away dev kits...I mean, it's almost like paying indie devs to develop for the system.

 

[Mael]

shit, my car has a radio. I want to drive, not listen to music!

If Ford spend half of the time of the unveiling of its next car talking about how the radio is awesome and all you'd have a point.

 

[VeryGooster]

Fish is the Kanye west of the gaming community.

"Don Mattrick doesn't care about indie people."

"Indie Developers Won’t Be Able to Self-Publish on Xbox One"

 

[Maxrunner]

It is amazing how much extra push Sony is putting toward Indie's this gen. Yet another in a long list of ways Microsoft fucked its unveil. Sony is now the de facto Indie system of choice lol



Except Sony's, since they spent an inordinate amount of time detailing how their new platform benefits Indies

Nintendo is also being aggressive towards indie developments but since it's Nintendo it's going to continue to get ignored...

 

[DBT85]

Just just got put up from TwoTribes on twitter, developer of Toki Tori 2. They earlier expressed dismay that they can't self publish on XBONE.

To be fair, I don't think they haven't done on any xbox.

Speaks volumes, just what the fuck do MS think they'll benefit from pissing off indie developers? More money? Hardly....

GAF is not a hivemind. If its the same people then I can understand what your saying.

 

[Glorified G]

shit, my car has a radio. I want to drive, not listen to music!

That would be my reaction if I went to an auto show and the presenter spent half an hour talking about quickly you can turn the dial on the radio

 

[IonicSnake]

I must have been living under a rock but who's Phil Fish and why is he so hated?

 

[jmdajr]

That Fez dude is gonna die an early death.

 

[jmdajr]

I must have been living under a rock but who's Phil Fish and why is he so hated?

He's the developers of FEZ. If you watch the Indie game movie on netflix he just comes off as a real high strung asshole.

 

[Morokh]

Sorry if this is already posted.

well he still says he will be getting one :

for someone who has been bitching so hard about Steam it doesn't make sense at all xD

 

[flippedb]

I really hope Wii U ends up being a house for indies, since One looks pretty bad and we still don't know much about Sony's approach.

 

[Off-Kilter]

As someone who strongly dislikes Phil Fish, that quote was outstanding.

 

[Meelow]

Think this is from the creator of ANNA that indie game.

except jokes on me im an Indie Media Convergence Developer, and ps4/U just don't have the convergences. TV TV TV TV TV TV TV TV
