Ill stick with uncharted 4

Indie doesn't mean small budget.

"sony developed indies"...what?

Makes no sense to me either...

@lostrib: Just a general term for relatively smaller budget and cheaper games, don't have get too anal

I need to be inside Alienation

Well at least PS4 will have something other than blood borne. what a drought.

Even if it is some crappy indies.

'Sony developed indies?'

Do you understand the meaning of the term indie?

Most of them dont look particular interesting except for the "Wild" one

@bigfatmistake: Until Dawn is awesome.

No cuphead, no deal.

@lostrib: ok fixed it so maybe people can discuss the games now

I personally am interested in Shadow of the Beast, Alienation and Wild....Matterfall and Bound looks intriguing but not enough info....wattam could be hit or miss

Never thought a console would top the PS2 yet here we are with PS4.

Alienation is going to be fun, from the creators of the best launch title this gen, helps that it's releasing in a month. Matterfall will also probably be good but we still don't even know what it is.

The Tomorrow Children beta was fun, some impressive stuff going on in that game. WiLD is probably the one I find most interesting overall.

Alienation has some promise, looking forward to it

Just give me Alienation already. Have that reserved and I can't wait until it's released. Drawn to Death and Shadow of the Beast looks good too though.

Drawn to death looks fucking horrible

I'm confused. Are they indie or are they Sony developed ?

Alienation and shadow of the beast look awesome. Interested in matterfall but we haven't seen much of it.

Id like to play Shadow of The Beast because I liked the original games on the Amiga. I wouldnt buy a PS4 to play it though.

Alienation looks like Helldivers so I definitely want that game, Shadow of the Beast looks pretty bad as too.

@getyeryayasout: Alienation is going to be god tier.

The sad thing is only 4 of those games look worth buying

@cainetao11: Yes, plus Horizon: Zero Dawn and Ni-Oh.

Wild looks amazing and I expect it will be a full priced retail game like NMS. Alienation looks really good too.

I would like to try Wild.

But "Sony co-devolped/published Indies" is a contradictory statement

Looks good to me.

Alienation looks great

That is NOT what Indie means. Indie is a shortening of Independent, as in the game is independently funded and published by it's developer.

If Sony, or any other major publisher funds or helps publish the game it is NOT indie. It has nothing to do with the pricing, budget or size of the game.

Wild is the only thing I'm interested in of that bunch.

I want to experience wattam at some point. looks too stupid not to. But I'd say Alienation and Wild are the two that have me most interested.

See TC?That's the problem. Quantity over quality. Hardly any title out of these can hold a candle to a one-two-three punch combo of Oxenfree, The Flame in the Flood and Superhot, not to mention Cuphead, Below, Ashen and Timbleweed Park that are coming on X1 later on and not on PS4.

And each of them oozes handpicked auteur-like quality not wankfest-like hollow pretentious exuberance.

These are not indies whole point of an indie is that it is self published

I agree.

I don't know I think TC listed those specifics games because they speak quality. Q games already impressive looking The Tomorrow Children, Giant Sparrow new game after the award winning The Unfinished Swan, Ray man creator Wild. Heck even a new project from the makers of Katamari Damacy. Seems to me like quality indie games are on both platforms.

also Alienation and Matterfall by the creators of Super Stardust and Resogun, both very highly rated, and Drawn to Death by David Jaffe.

Don't dissmiss a game just because its associated with Sony.
