Vatan
When
games take place in the future, there’s usually a good chance that in
it huge corporations are calling the shots, everything’s a little
grimy, and the world has a suspiciously Bladerunner-esque feel to it.Now Fy Software is taking this common theme, and spinning it
180 degrees.Instead of
playing a hero who is out to change the system, and bring down the evil
corporations oppressing the masses, players will take the role of one of
their minions fighting to maintain the status quo in the upcoming FPS, Vatan.
Another
interesting thing in store for Vatan is that the game will be
both lush, and green, not just a ceaseless cavalcade of
drab, gray environments like so many similarly themed games that have
come before.Don’t get us
wrong, there’ll be plenty of barren, desolate
places
to wander through too.It’s
just nice to see that Fy Software envisions a dark, oppressive future
that still has time to appreciate a fine sense of interior design, and
landscape architecture.
The
usual promises of an immersing story, brilliant physics engine, and
flashy graphics are being made for Vatan, claims that we hear in just
about every press release for every first person shooter to ever be
released.Hopefully, they
all turn out to be true.Whatever
the case, the ball is squarely in Fy Software’s court now, and it’s
up to them to deliver.So
far it looks like they

have
a few interesting ideas up their sleeves with a new twist on a popular
style of story.Now we just
have to wait and see if they can follow through with the rest of the
product.
