(ANDROID) Enki Bilal influences?

By silenceindigo, in Android

Hello everyone,

The gorgeous visual style and sinister thematic content of ANDROID , as presented by the teaser trailer, is very reminiscent of Serbian comic artist Enki Bilal's NIKOPOL and HATZFELD series and others of the genre. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enki_Bilal ) Likewise, the teaser's voice and tone was reminescent of the earliest trailer for the I AM LEGEND movie about the jailbreak.

I wonder if this thematic influence (far-future cyberpunk, I would dare say) has had a deliberate influence or if it is just coincidence?

Cheers for the whole FFG tearm! Great work for making art out of games, I look forward to buying ANDROID as soon as it's released and I hope to see more theme-intensive games in the future...

Well I really like Bilal, but Android doesn't remind me of him really. Bilal's collors are fluid and "leak" out of their boundaries.

Apart from the cyberpunk think I don't think they have anything similar.

Go read the Nikopol Trilogy and the Hatzfeld Tetralogy. They are great comics and deeply political ones.

I didn't read Hatzfeld, but I don't see much connection form Nikopol to Android. Much more Bladerunner.

I can't wait to get my hands on this one...
