Resogun dev: cool things are coming for indies on PS4
Even though most indie developers are quite happy about the current Sony policy for PlayStation 4, things may get even better, according to Housemarque‘s Community Manager Tommaso De Benetti, who spoke with Edge.
Sony seems to have a solid strategy for indies on PS4, and we are aware of a number of cool things that are coming on the platform sooner or later. It’s not just a stunt for the launch, they want indies to have a specific role in bringing new customers in on the hardware.
Hopefully the response we are having will push Sony to invest even more in smaller titles – there’s clearly demand for them on other platforms, and there’s no reason why they couldn’t do extremely well on the new consoles as well. Also, indies are often a great fit with people that cannot dedicate 100 hours to a single game because of work, family constraints or just general time availability. The audience is out there, and Sony knows it. So far, we are really pleased with their attitude towards new ways to enjoy games.
It’s hard to speculate at this point what these cool things could be, but surely Sony seems on the right track. By the way, if you by any chance own Playstation 4 and PlayStation Plus and you didn’t already download Resogun (Housemarque’s PS4 launch title), please do: it’s absolutely a blast to play.
