Ouya gets Robotoki exclusive game

Remember our coverage on the Android-powered console known as Ouya, which has apparently raised more than $5 million in funds through Kickstarter and yet they need more cash capital to woo developers? Well, we have already received word that this particular console platform will be getting a Robotoki exclusive game, which is a prequel to Human Element. While there is still considerable debate concerning the possibility of the Ouya console being a success, it is nice to see developer Robotoki step forward to announce that they are working on an Ouya exclusive – before the hardware has even been released.

From what we have heard on the Internet, it does seem as though the Human Element game is going to be an amazing title, but you will need tons of patience before the game is actually playable, since it is touted to be released sometime in 2015. 2015! That’s light years away by video game standards, so hopefully by the time Human Element rolls out, it will not look dated in any way compared to current generation titles then.

After all the excitement from the Yves Behar-designed OUYA console’s massive Kickstarter campaign fades away, like every other console it will be judged on the quality of its games we finally have the name of one. Robotoki president Robert Bowling — best known as @fourzerotwo on Twitter and formerly as a producer from Infinity Ward for the Call of Duty series — has announced plans to bring an “episodic prequel” to the company’s first game Human Element exclusively to OUYA. While not much is known about Human Element yet other than that it’s a survival game set in a zombie apocalypse scheduled for release in 2015, although Bowling is promising OUYA backers will get exclusive access to updates during development. He can also be counted among that group, cheerfully noting in a video along with the announcement that he’s contributed $10,000 to the cause. That’s one project on the list — any bets on which developer will be next to hitch their game to the bandwagon?
