It's a bit frustrating to see that people still associate indies with those type of games when in truth indies are becoming associated with these games instead:

Unfortunately, none of the games you linked have actually been released yet. The fact remains that the vast majority of indie games are low-budget games with low production values, which in turn limits the kind of genres they can fit in. This is why most indie games are 2D platformers or puzzle games.

While I would love to believe that games like Natural Selection 2, Red Orchestra 2 or Amnesia will become the norm for indies, I'm not going to hold my breath. Also keep in mind that many of these devs are only indie because they lack the funding or connections to sign a project with a big publisher. I believe the Amnesia devs even said in an interview that they want to make console games.
