Jonathan Blow on the XBOX One's always online strategy

according to blow on twitter(too lazy to go through his tweets) he doesn't even know what Self publishing on ps4 means himself, he's under contractual work so he can't comment further.


Not worried about MS and Indies they have had some of the best this year, and we will find out their plan at build in 2 weeks.




certain games can go further, some are shorter depends on the developer pretty much

But I've never heard any saying you need to connect every 24 hours

I'm not sure about that either. when we were talking about this before, I tried it on my laptop, and it didn't work until I set it up again while online. and I did use offline mode on it a long time ago. dude was talking about he knew people that have been offline for "years". I'm not sure why anyone would even do that. anyway, it seemed clear none of them had first hand knowledge of how it works

The guy who said that (Klepek) just got into PC gaming about a month ago. Most of them are console gamers outside of Brad Shoemaker and Vinny on that show I believe.

I just found these:

a lot of people here are saying it's two weeks

steam is time limited to two weeks in offline mode...this fix helps :: Help and Tips

but here Valve claims it's just a bug, and offline is designed to work indefinitely

They won't allow him to self publish, you will find out the power of the self publishing indie soon enough friend. They trying to take money out his pocket

Some of the biggest & most innovative PC games the last year have come from Indies, winter is coming for MS.

Could you name some of these games?

That indefinite response from the valve employee is very interesting

I pretty sure they play all 3rd party games on PCs

The biggest was a mod that put a 3 year old Indie Game into the top selling spot on steam.

There's talk that the standalone could make it to PS4 too.

DayZ was a mod just like how Counter Strike came to be, correct? I wouldn't call that an indie game. Who is making the stand alone version? DayZ Standalone - DayZ Wiki
So in your only attempt to show off the power of indie games you have failed. All I'm saying is indie games for the most part are useless boring games. I was hoping there was a bunch of games I didn't know about. Guess not? And I read somewhere that DayZ wouldn't be coming to Xbox One because of Class 4 (State of Decay online MMO)

Yeah maybe right now because the PC versions of the games look so much better, but I remember a time in where they basically never talked about the PC. They pretty much have no choice but to at this point

nvm

Bohemia Interactive is an independent developer

I see. I just read up some more and Insomniac games is an independent developer too
From what I gathered, if you have a decent game you can have a 3rd party help publish a game. Konami has a big program, so does Microsoft studios. I'm sure a bunch more as well. But thanks for clearing that up for me

the problem is gamers only get what these big publishers think is a "decent game". if developers can 'self publish', gamers can get that shyt straight from bolivia

It was a mod to a indie game, Bohemia Interactive is an indie developer, and the person who made the mod worked for them to begin with :fukkyapost:

And the fact of the matter is games like that have a chance to exist on PS4, because they do not require a publisher, which is what the DayZ creator said here -

DayZ creator Dean Hall has similar views when it comes to taking his game to the market.

"Yeah, we talked to both of them," he revealed. "But, as I'm sure you're aware, Sony lets you self-publish and they don't make you pay for updates. Microsoft requires you to have a publisher. They have no digital distribution strategy and they require you to pay $10,000, or whatever it is, for updates.

"We like [Sony]. I like what I saw on the PS4. I like what I saw on the Xbox in a lot of cases as well. I'm not s***ting on them. I'm kind of hopeful that Microsoft has just forgot to talk about its indie support. Maybe I'm being a bit naive."

It has nothing to do with Class 4 being on Xbox

A lot of studios don't want a publisher if they don't need one, there is a middle ground between high budget games, and shytty low budget games that the Indie developers can fill.
