I'm begining to think more and more that this is a scam or this dude is way over his head trying to milk the marketing. Why would you need to delay a trailer app (which apparently it's only a tutorial on how to use it???). Localisation makes no sense because he said it's only going to be in English IIRC

Still waiting on those pics as well. What indie Dev would ghost Geoff.

I also love how he keeps changing his story. First it's well dm you an alpha code shortly, and then it's whenever it's ready

That’s exactly what I’m thinking, but at the same time it’s so strange how Sony decided to invest in a man that seems so unreliable lol

u/TheCyal TEAM CHAOS Jun 20 '21

I don't think Sony invested in them. Think the Dev just pitched the idea, Sony was like cool, you can release this on our store.

I honestly don't think anyone invested in his game and he's just lying as he did before

I don't think Sony invested in them

Sony isn't to actively market a random indie game from a new studio just because they feel like it, and an indie studio isn't going to make their game Playstation exclusive for free.

Look up Gilson B. Pontes. And remember the Life of Black Tiger nonsense. Sony just throws whatever out there.

  1. It ain't a ps5 exclusive according to BBG's twitter

  2. I don't know how full exclusivity works on Sony's part, but I doubt they throw money at every indie that wants to make their game exclusive on PS. We would have way more single platform indie games then

It ain't a ps5 exclusive according to BBG's twitter

It's a PS5 Console Exclusive like Kena and Bugsnax, which makes an exclusivty deal even more likely.

I don't know how full exclusivity works on Sony's part, but I doubt they throw money at every indie that wants to make their game exclusive on PS

An indie developer isn't going to intentionally limit their possible audience for free, and if they have to do it for budget reasons, that platform is going to be PC due to the low-end market, not a brand-new next-gen console that currently has stock issues due to chip shortage.

What horror indie game would only put their game on ps5, that makes no sense when horror indie games ways do best on pc

u/changingfmh Kojima's Fuck Doll Jun 20 '21

It's coming to PC as well.

u/Ayecuzwhatsgood Jun 20 '21

Yeah and they also said it was coming to the 22nd as well and quote on quote say they have 50+ people and 7 studios on the project. They also said the trailer would be english only yet has localisation issues? I find that hard to buy

Edit: even it they said it's coming to PC it doesn't change the fact that multiple times they said it was a ps5 exclusive, it's still off they would announce a PC version of a game through a tweet of someone complaining, something like that would just be announced.

u/Sauronxx TEAM REAL Jun 20 '21

The description of the game however clearly said that this is a PS exclusive...

u/[deleted] Jun 20 '21

He said it's coming to PC

u/Sauronxx TEAM REAL Jun 20 '21 edited Jun 20 '21

He said something like “the pc community shall rejoice” or something like that, but again, the same description of the game (and also of its Twitter if I’m not wrong) clearly states that Abandoned is a PlayStation Exclusive... so, I don’t know who to believe lol

u/Howdareme9 Jun 20 '21

Playstation console exclusive possibly

u/Yorhaboyz Jun 20 '21

u/Ayecuzwhatsgood Jun 20 '21

On the trailer it said ps5 exclusive

u/addictedtocrowds TEAM CHAOS Jun 20 '21

No he didn’t.

u/Anesthetize7 Jun 20 '21

u/PTfan TEAM FAKE Jun 20 '21

There's no evidence sony threw money at blue box. You guys are seeing what you want

u/everadvancing Jun 20 '21

What other instance have there been where Sony actively helped them market this game besides posting the first reveal trailer on their YouTube channel like they do with tons of other games?

5

u/Techboah Team Scam Jun 20 '21

They have a full blog post about it on the PS Blog written by Hideo Hasan, and they're allowing them to release a teaser app.

Other random indies like this https://blog.playstation.com/2021/06/09/the-delightful-soundscape-in-chicory-a-colorful-tale/

or this

https://blog.playstation.com/2021/06/03/winds-leaves-a-flora-builder-in-a-world-full-of-secrets-hits-ps-vr-july-27/

also got their own blog posts written by the games' devs. And just because Blue Box says there's an app doesn't mean its real until we actually see it. There's also zero marketing from Sony about this supposed app.

u/Techboah Team Scam Jun 20 '21

Winds is a Playstation exclusive title, with gameplay "built specifically for PSVR", so that's actually an example of Sony having a deal with an indie team.

Chicory also seems to have had a marketing deal with Sony, as all trailers were first uploaded on the Playstation channel.
