Everyone seems to be loving the self-pub route! I think if you can afford it, that's the way to go to maintain control of your creative design.

Ju3994d ago (Edited 3994d ago )

I think that's quite brave from Sony. And a huge shift in philosophy. It's mighty risky as well, but Apple seems to be quite successful with it. Why shouldn't it work on consoles. I hope it will. Cheaper prices and much more variety should be the result. The big pubs will need to adjust sooner or later I guess.

Dead_Cell3994d ago (Edited 3994d ago )

Instead of just buying exclusivity for a developers work Sony seems to be going all out to just make the console enjoyable and easy work for the developers, thus encouraging work to come to them. Smart move. The PS4 is being received entirely differently to how the PS3 was at this point.

Musicians, filmmakers and various other artists have been doing it for years. Its about time indie devs get to step out of the shadows and step into the limelight.

While many indie games have been released in the past, in order to get noticed, they had to offer their games super cheap, or even free to get noticed. Now, with services like Steam and PSN as platforms to showcase their work, they stand a greater chance of actually turning a profit from their hard work.

It's yet another PS4 F2P that I'll be playing.

doctorstrange3995d ago

Better start saving. Oh wait.

wastedcells3994d ago

Surprised how much free to play is coming to PS4. Something like 2-3 games in the launch window and 2 at launch.

HammadTheBeast3994d ago

Blacklights actually really fun. It's fast paced, but also has a feeling of tactical game play, you can dominate without it being EZ mode, but you'll need skills.

Excellent interview. Looking forward to playing this on PS4.

Virtual_Reality3994d ago (Edited 3994d ago )

The game is fun as a F2P. But I've heard it will have 4vs4 battles on PS4 instead 8vs8. Hopefully they increase the cap.

Goodjob by Atlus with the fast localization, nothing i hate more then when a japanese game takes ages to localize.

r214069d ago

Should be a quick and fast localization process. All they gotta do is translate the text and add in English voices :) I assume of course, dont really know the whole process they do with these games.

sherimae24134069d ago

r214069d ago

Releases in Japan during July whilst it gets released world wide in English during August :D

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's the Basiscape guys since they do the soundtracks to all of the Vanillaware games. I love their Muramasa soundtrack.

DivineAssault 4069d ago

XBLA Shooting Gallery

"So you’re stuck in your dorm room/apartment/house/parent’s house and you have nothing to play. You want to play a shooter but you’re sick of what you’ve got so you peruse the Xbox Live Arcade to find cheap thrills (no not like that…). But there are so many of them. Well to help you in your search for some cheap entertainment I have spent some time getting to know four of these arcade shooters and, like any good friend, I have judged them. And for your reading pleasure I have listed them in order from least favorite to favorite. Enjoy." - Caleb from Leviathyn.com.

I always look at Gotham City Imposers as Team Fortress in Gotham. Yet, I still have yet to buy it. Is it worth it?
