E3 2013 Sony PlayStation 4 - oprainfall

Sony certainly showed their love for indie developers at this year’s gamescom. A plethora of indie titles were announced for the PlayStation 4 and PS Vita, and the word “exclusive” was thrown around quite a lot. I was impressed with a few of these games, and I am sure that most of you will be able to find something that suits you as well. With the price drop for the Vita and the influx of indie support, Sony certainly made many fans happy today and even remarked on the fact that they are putting the games and gamers first.

The following are PS3, PS4, and PS Vita indie games that were announced:

 

Rogue Legacy (Cellar Door Games)
