>What Remains of Edith Finch from Giant Sparrow for PlayStation 4 and PC, the latter of which is no longer a production of Sony Interactive Entertainment. Both are due out in Q1 2017.
Reports are that all indies that were part of San Diego studio's incubation program have been cancelled and studios have been moved out. Sony is also no longer funding indie projects in Europe, which may affect projects like WiLD.
So will PS4 no longer be the "indie platform"?

>What Remains of Edith Finch from Giant Sparrow for PlayStation 4 and PC, the latter of which is no longer a production of Sony Interactive Entertainment.
Honestly who fucking wrote that sentence and thought it was a good idea?
So can I expect thousand of twitter snapshot threads of raging numales?
Did NMS kill the """"Dedicated"""" and """"love"""" for """indies"""
I don't understand why they would do that. Yoshida has weird priorities, man.
Oh God YES
Maybe the sales numbers haven't been that great and they figure indie developers are going to port their games to Playstation anyway, so might as well not assume the development costs.
maye«be it's because of
Good, the overwhelming majority of indie games are shit anyways
>Sony Cancels internal indie incubated projects
Sony finally realizes that nobody believes in indies anymore.
SJW and corrupted gaming journalists killed off indies gaming forever due to their lies and bullshit shillings.
>that one comment
All that matters is WiLD.
>which may affect projects like WiLD.
I'd be fucking mad.
Pretty much. Also expect an influx of "SONY SUX!" threads by triggered beta cuck numale devs here on Sup Forums.
no mans buy strikes again
Yoshida is no longer head of Sony WWS. Shawn Layden was put in the position when they reorganized under the SIE banner and moved main operations to the USA. Yoshida is just a VP at SIEJ now.
>So will PS4 no longer be the "indie platform"?
No but most likely wont just fund any nobody who want money for his project
Good. Indie programmers are faggots.
Genuinely hope for a second holocaust in which these niggers are purged off the face of the earth and they no longer have to pretend to be starving hobos with macbooks begging for starbucks shitwater.
and people expected VR support...
so the huge ass hurt caused by no mans sky probably made sony reconsider indie games?

shiggy diggy doo

Where in the article says that you nig?
post it
>sony funded indie game
Yeah, I keep mine upstairs in my bungalow
It just means that Sony has halted support for some indie studios. Not necessarily all of them.
Look no further than Far point.
I believe it is because those studios have been making shit games as of late, and it is no longer worth Sonys time.
Same desu. Indies belong on their cuck platform. Hopefully PS+ will be about decent games now and not indie garbage.
>The new publisher is run by a team of video games veterans whose credits include Journey, God of War, Mortal Kombat, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, Flower, and Fat Princess.
Wow what an exceptionally shit track record. Fuck you OP I thought the indies lost an output but in fact they've just gained another.
For it to get to this point there must have been some really bad relations. Sony probably gave indies too much reign over the production of their game and things were taking too long with nothing to show. That and NMS must have hurt Sony's faith in indies to actually start cancelling shit.
They halted Wattam and Rime in the last few months as well and a few unannounced games were silently cancelled or the devs have left San Diego as well.
Farpoint devs are established mobile devs anyway so they aren't really indie.
>stop funding indie games
The best news Sony has put out this whole year.
...
Feels to me like they got burnt hard on supporting NMS. Wonder if it kills that puppet game about communism, that actually looked interesting to me.
>Farpoint devs are established mobile devs anyway so they aren't really indie.
Wew..
But so were most of those devs that they stopped the funding for.
Didn't expect Annapurna to ever become a video game level.
I was interested in Edith Finch because the premise is cool and I'd like to see improvements (if any) after The Unfinished Story, but I already had low expectations for it, thanks to the sloppy art projects that Sony has been funding lately.
>Everybody's Gone to the Rapture
Some of the best music and voice-acting ever in a game, but it's still literally a walking sim, has no puzzles. Nothing more than a slightly interactive radio drama.
>Bound
Structure of the game is too repetitive, especially for one like this. Platforming is hard but not satisfying, and I experienced way too many bugs. There's nothing interesting about the story or the emotions conveyed.
I wouldn't mind if these art games were as polished as Journey or Inside for example, but they're not. Sony and the devs should stop bothering if they won't enforce higher standards.
That game already released last month user, it's F2P.
>which may affect projects like WiLD
>Wonder if it kills that puppet game about communism
That was released last month
...
As someone who hates the PS4 I'm actually happy for this. Maybe ps Plus might get better in the future. That's a big maybe.
Indies have sucked for the past year so I don't see a problem
Valve needs to cut off early access so Indies have to actually have quality content before we hand over money
Indie games are shit. fuck sony for forcing them onto plus subscribers instead of retail games that actually have value.
It also released as a F2P and the review scores were so bad that the lead developer went crazy on Neogaf and Twitter on top of that.
It really does sound like the indie experiment is over, especially since all of the execs at Sony who were claiming they were the future back in 2013 have left Sony.
That's what I'm hoping. I'm not planning to renew this month but also there's still a bunch of indies on the store so plan on another year of indies before we see AAA games.
HOW WILL SONY BRIBE GAME JOURNOS NOW?
with expensive trips to japan, game award seats, commercials
More like buying them a new dildo and paying for their transition.
Oh yes this is great FUCK those indie games haha, AAA is where it's big publishers wooooo
Sony first party has been so incredibly strong lately they can easily afford to just cut off a whole bunch of potential video gam-
oh wait
That wasn't funny mate.
It was true but not funny.
>No Man's Sky killed indie games
Nice.
>with expensive trips to japan
It's working for capcom. look at all those faggot game journalist fellating RE7
Sean Murray did this.
I'd take AAA over shit like NMS or indie stuff like that any day of the week
It looked actually interesting, what went wrong?
t. numale cuck indie developer out of a cushy job at Sony because he procrastinated to long without getting anything done
>which may affect projects like WiLD
Pls god no
NMS taught them not to trust indie fucking shits
fuck indieshit
It doesn't nothing like that in the article though
Beside the guy behind Wild already has experience in vidya like Beyond Good and Evil, so they might not give him the boot
you should watch easy allies. it's the most cringeworthy one .
>DUDE I WUZ TOTES CRAWLIN CUZ SCARY MOMENTS BRAH!
>PSVR™ TOTES ENHANCES DA EXPERIENCE™ BRAH !
>BRAH THIS GUNNA BE DA BEST SCURRIEST RESI EVER !
>BRAH RESI IS BACK BRAH !
>This indie game was shit so all indie games are shit
...
Incredibly grindy and boring game mechanics and still needed you to make microtransaction purchases to make any sort of progress. Looked good but it was pretty shit in the end.
Can anybody tell me some good indie games?
I know Undertale is one.
What did you guys seriously expect would happen after shit like this:
youtube.com
They saw ahead of the curve and decided to cut their losses instead of becoming a laughing stock.
i dont know why this would affect Wild, it's not some indie shit
michel ancel has actually made games before (rayman, beyond good and evil)
it's not going to be as easy as that user
sony is just stopping the funding of development games
indie games will still be published on ps4 and still used for PS+ fodder
Such is the fate of F2P
Well, by a funny coincidence they really are.
anything by Klei, specially Invisible Inc.
great now if only they could stop funding capcom next
I'm crashing indie games WITH NO SURVIVORS
>Ripping off Rez on a fucking Playstation device
The balls of these indie developers. We're like a decade away from China-tier copyright infringing.
(You)
what happened to it did sony cancel funding for it and went on yet another temper tantrum and canceled this game as well?
That's a lot of hubbub over a game that's already been made and published a dozen times.
whats the leade dev's name?
What games, by comparison, aren't shit?
What's funny is that Rez is already on PS4
Mommy
>No Man's Lie killed publishers funding indie games
typical pretentious sony crap.
>didn't say anything about the asian indie team.. Bing Yang you lucky dog.
>expensive trips to japan

Dylan Cuthbert. Same guy who did games like X and StarFox for Nintendo years ago.
> SONY pulls funding.
> may cancel some games and make studios go under
Guess they weren't that ....
Independant!
no seriously does anyone actually know what indie stands for? It's not low-production games in general.
now a days indie is just a buzzword in order to generate hype, and help deflect and soften criticism
it got a 9 from IGN
Did Phil suck their cocks?
Guess that's the ultimate irony, a game about communism getting destroyed by capitalist business model.
In this case given creative freedom without publisher involvement beyond funding. I bet most of the indie developers took what Sony gave them for granted and had it all planned out that they'd "work" on a game for a decade off Sony's tab then release something made in 3 months and refresh. The jew of the rising sun caught on though, no disciprine no product no fundseru.
They had a general idea
>communist mining and rebuilding your town
And that's all they ever did. Mindlessly mine for few resources and turn in resource. In the end it was never fun even if you spent money or didn't. Unfortunate since most of Q-Games' games are actually fun
Pretty much yeah, whenever I hear indie I just immediately think of a low effort budget platformer with artsy or pixel graphics and a shit tumblr or social agenda fueled story with kneejerk dialogues.
Most likely made by pasty white kids who think they look sophisticated and interesting because they have a scraggly beard, and ugly-as-sin tattoos or a flamboyant punk hairstyle with obnoxious colouring. Oh and token minorities and females,of course!.
Indie scene had promise. It has however been jacked by those too talentless to make anything good yet too proudful to work in a competent studio.
SONY was inviting a den of snakes into their pockets and should've pulled out earlier. Or atleast put more effort into actually inspecting and guiding the devs. No one is gonna produce something good if u just give them frre money and say "go wild". They'll go wild with your cash, not the product.
>tfw you realize that by irrevocably ruining the public's hope/trust in indie games Sean Murray is the unsung hero of Sup Forums
Thank god. Indieshit should stay indieshit.
He choked on them.
He died for our sins

Why was anyone referring to these games as "indie" if they were being bankrolled by Sony?
They are not made by big name devs?
That is great news. Indie shit needs to fucking die.
