The Indie Megabooth is dominating PAX East 2015

Apparently, Sony and Microsoft weren't kidding when they said they were committed to indie games on the PS4 and Xbox One. While Microsoft has a booth at PAX East 2015 — showing off Halo 5, Battlefield Hardline, Smite, and a few other fairly large games — Sony is noticeably absent; however, both are sponsors of the PAX Indie Megabooth, a giant section of the show floor dedicated to indie games.

Outside of a few titles, like Blizzard's Overwatch or EA's Battlefield Hardline, there's not much in terms of blockbuster games. There's a real shift towards the indie scene and it's definitely noticeable here on the show floor.

That's not a bad thing either. If the last few years have taught us anything, with Sony's and Microsoft's push towards indie acceptance, it's that even a studio of just a few developers can push out a game that can stand side-by-side, or even above, a game with hundreds of developers. Money isn't everything when it comes to games, and simply put, the risk of a triple A game is just too much for many publishers at this time; sometimes you just need a unique style or an innovative idea. This year's PAX East 2015 Indie Megabooth was filled with booth. Although the above video is just a quick booth walkthrough, we will have previews of some of the more interesting titles we got to see.
