The Escapist Is Airing A "Direct-Style" Indie Showcase On 11th June - Will Feature Over 70 Games

The Escapist is still around?!?

70 seems like too much. Quality over quantity please.

I watched yesterday wholesale direct and, after 20 minutes, that was impossible to watch. Every game sucks. An original nintendo direct is really different

Good thing to know that gaming news won’t be quiet

@mesome713 It's across 4 days with developers all over the world. Not saying they'll all be amazing games, but 70 seems pretty reasonable. It's not like they're all from a single developer.

@Kazran14 Very true, just scared having so many will cause most to be lost. But your right, this is most likely the best way to shine light on them.

Without something like this, less people would be able to hear the word.

only worth it if Yahtzee roasts each of them in turn

Hoping for video games and not avant-garde art house installations that lack playability or structure. There's too much rubbish indie stuff on the Nintendo shop.

The Guerilla showcase is the most interesting of these summer shebangs to me. But I’ll keep an eye on this through the news section here. Doesn’t look like that Wholesome Games thing produced much of note...

Nintendo: "They called me a madman..."

I enjoy the escapists output, particularly Zero Punctuation. Not a massive fan of their latest subscription plan though. Hopefully they won't hide or give early access to the showcase behind a pay wall.

Hoping for release dates for all those games with vague summer and fall release windows

The Escapist had 3 things going for them, Zero Punctuation, their forums and Jim Sterling. Jim Sterling left, they banned everyone for anything from their forums, and Zero Punctuations shtick got old.
