Rounding Up Sony's PlayStation Experience Indie Announcements And Trailers
Sony had a number of indie game announcements during its PlayStation Experience press conference today, and we've rounded them up in one place.
Indie, or course, does not necessarily always imply the literal translation of the word, but rather defines a smaller, more artistic game made by a small group of creators. Here's what was featured during Sony's press conference today.
Brutal
With an art direction inspired by ASCII art, Brutal really has an aesthetic all its own.
Day of the Tentacle
The classic LucasArts point-and-click adventure game is making its triumphant return on PlayStation 4.
