One of the most enjoyable mainstays of Sony's conferences is the annual indie sizzle reel, which shows off the latest smaller games due for digital release in the near-future, giving said games a giant stage while not clogging up the conference with extended looks at each.

This year broke with tradition by foregoing the indie reel altogether, to the disappointment of many viewers. It's possible that the PSVR reel ended up taking the indie reel's place, but considering the show's barely hour-long run-time, was there really not enough room for both?

Sony has always had an embarrassment of riches as far as indie titles are concerned, so one has to wonder why they didn't take the opportunity to show off their latest projects.
