Welp so much for the rumor. I'm definitely looking forward to this. Hoping for Sports Story to be dated, and Axiom Verge 2 or Silksong as well would be amazing. Last December's had some great titles (OddWorld, Talos Principle, Survivalists), so I'm hopeful for another good showing.
With respect, I really hope the vast majority of this Nindies Direct is about previously unannounced games. We all know those games are coming, because they've been in previous Directs. Release dates are for Twitter... I hope.
It seems like a bad idea to follow a community for something where you have zero information about the next game. GTA6 could be 3 or 4 years off for all we know. At least with Nintendo, we knew there was a 95% chance there'd be a Direct in the first 3 months of the year.
@Dezzy I'd say this place is handling the wait for a Direct better than the internet is for PS5 and that is something that you'd expect would've been revealed in the first 3 months of the year based on the past. Whether the silence is due to coronavirus, a very strong PS4 Q2 2020 or something else who knows.
@Dezzy I fully expect there to be an entire Pikmin 4 section on Reddit entirely run by @Octane where he hypes himself up constantly over the game and replies to himself on an hourly basis

I think they're deliberately holding the main PS5 reveal until after Last of Us and Tsushina have both released. It might overshadow them to some extent.
After all I was right about Nintendo deliberately holding the Direct until after Animal Crossing released! Publishers do think like that. They want their fans focusing on 1 particular thing at a time, rather than just bombard them with 1000 things.
@gcunit Honestly I get it usually I'm the same way, but at the same time those three titles I requested in particular are sequels to some of my favorite Switch titles in general, so I'm making an exception. But yeah, I want primarily new stuff too, luckily most stuff from the past is already out.

Yeah there are users on that subreddit very suspiciously called Monotane, Duotane, Triotane, Quartotane......

You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
@Dezzy To be honest, I only joined to talk concepts about maps. And to see what people thought about my Michigan concept map. And then all this hype started about an incoming announcement. Followed by an announcement of an announcement. So I just stayed to enjoy the entertainment.

I think this explains his mysterious absence from here. We’re onto him!

This brings back memories of the good ol Zelda Wii U days. Great times talking about grass tbh
Jason Schreier just tweeted that we should expect delays in future games thanks to the coronavirus, though not the ones in the next month or two. This could be why Nintendo are not keen to hold a Direct, they aren’t confident of getting the games done resulting in a lot of delays.

Can't imagine Naughty Dog or CD Projekt letting their people work from home while they're mid-crunch. They'll prob just ask people to get tested and then continue as normal.
