E3 2016: We Happy Few Trailer

One of the highlights of Microsoft’s press conference at E3 2016 was the We Happy Few trailer, which underlined Xbox’s commitment to indie titles.

This game looks part A Clockwork Orange, with its British setting, complete with traditional bobbies with truncheons. The dystopian setting features a society that is kept complacent through ‘Joy’ pills. The protagonist decides not to take his and begins to see life for what it really is. But nobody likes a ‘downer’, so if you don’t take your Joy, you end up running from the authorities.

We Happy Few looks like a really intriguing setting. Check it out for yourself here:

Chella Ramanan

Chella hails from the UK and joined Gameindustry.com around the year 2000. It was so many moons ago, she can't quite remember. Back then, the only women you saw in the games industry were in bikinis and vertiginous heels at trade shows - oh how times have changed, kind of. Chella started as a humble reviewer, but soon became our European Correspondent and keeps us on top of industry happenings across the Pond. She tends to like the weird Japanese games we've never heard of, so that's good for making us look all-encompassing and stuff. Chella does like games, so don't be fooled by the copious amount of columns devoted to bemoaning the lack of variety in the industry. When she's not surfing (the sea, not the internet) or camping up mountains, Chella likes a good action RPG (especially if it's sci-fi), anything with a good narrative and like we said, the weirder the better. She's also a regular in the GiN Lounge, but that's just because we like her accent.
