独立开发者

    随着手机游戏的崛起，大量新生代游戏玩家开始对各种独立开发的小型游戏趋之若鹜。如今，下一代游戏开发成本居高不下。在这种情况下，独立开发的独家游戏可能将拥有更大的舞台。而凭借PS 4的魔力，索尼赢得了更多游戏开发者的青睐。在本届E 3新闻发布会上，索尼把独立开发游戏也请上了台，与自己斥巨资开发的独家游戏同台亮相。微软也有独立开发的游戏，但是开发者却照样纷纷涌向索尼，只因为索尼对他们更厚道。像《章鱼奶爸：致命捕获》（Octodad: Deadliest Catch）、Transistor 和 Outlast这些游戏在索尼的E 3展台上也都获得了最好的展示空间。索尼这么安排有充分的道理。因为这些也都是很棒的游戏，而且价格要低得多。

The indies

    With the rise of mobile gaming, there's a huge new audience of gamers who are gobbling up smaller, indie-developed games. With development costs rising for "AAA" next gen games, exclusive indie titles could play a bigger role with next gen. Sony is winning over game developers with PS4, embracing indies to the point of featuring them on stage at its E3 press conference alongside its big budget exclusives. Yes, Microsoft offers indie games, but developers are flocking to Sony because the company is treating them better. Games like Octodad: Deadliest Catch,Transistor and Outlast were also given prime space at Sony's E3 booth, and for good reason. These are great games, just at a much lower price point.
