After seeing Microsoft's Inside Xbox and Sony's PS5 event. As well as aton of indie showcases. I've noticed a ton of indie games that look they got a decent budget. Yes Indies existed during this generation and as well as PS3/360 generation. But I feel now there is a shift of type of games that Indies are making. Before a vast majority of indie games were 2D games.
Now we are getting a ton of indie games that look like some of these AAA games. Seeing some of these games and finding out only a handful of people have developed the game is shocking. I think thanks to easier game development, ray tracing more and more indie games will look higher budget.
We used to complain back in the PS3/360 generation that we are missing cool AA games and getting the same generic AAA games taking no risks. I feel that thanks to Indies they are producing cool looking games the lack of game variety is a thing of the past.
