NowGamer: "To discuss the gap between indie and AAA, as well as what the future holds for the industry we spoke to Gone Home developer Steve Gaynor, Far Cry 3 and Child of Light creative director Patrick Plourde and Molleindustria's Paolo Pedercini."
Dave writes: "If you’re a fan of walking simulators, then the name probably sticks in the throat, but let’s ‘own it’ and chuck the best and mightiest of the genre into a bear pit and let them have at it! Hoo-rah! As with most genre lists, there’s some controversy about what does or doesn’t constitute a walking simulator. Dialogue and navigation is preferred over puzzles and more intensive interaction like combat or QTEs. Jumping/crouching is positively frowned upon. Strap on your hiking boots and let’s ramble!"
Starting today, Drawful 2, Gone Home, Hob, and Totally Reliable Delivery Service are free at Epic Games Store. The free game offers run until April 9 at 10 AM. Once you claim them, they’re yours to keep.
If you're a fan of the narrative-driven walking simulator genre, then these titles really need to be in your Switch games library.
I'm more interested in indie games these days than I am AAA. Until big budget games start coming up with new ideas, that'll likely stay that way.
