 It's like Frank West of Dead Rising. Am I right?    |

 Hm, journalist with seemingly only half of an idea of what he's talking about and no first-hand experience (of the game) dislikes something based on an idea of what could be in it or what it might be like.    |

 Could be interesting, but how will it be fun? The player's role is to hang back and watch the action, but not take part in directing it. Sounds like there won't be enough agency in it for most players get engaged (at least until more info comes out, anyway).  |

 Um, don't most-all war journalists make half the story about themselves and provide "war porn"? I don't see many videos from war journalists where they're just filming happy people in perfectly intact neighborhoods, providing commentary where they aren't referring to themselves every 5 seconds and talking about how dangerous what they're doing is. |

 The concept is interesting. I watched a gameplay trailer and the gameplay was... not so much.  |

 Is this another attempt at games as art?  |

 It could even go so far as to be games as political commentary. 
 But if by "art game" you mean "probably no fun", then yes.

 There's a semi-rare game that was released here in the US for the PS2 that was basically this only with Lovecraftian monsters. You played a camera man for a famous woman reporter, and got points for getting good shots and for saving the reporter; usually by running really fast and bumping into her to knock her out of the way of stuff since you are presumably invincible, sometimes by directing her as she shoots stuff. |

 That was never actually released in America. Had to import it. |

 Yeah, I noticed when I looked...I had seen it being played in English before so I assumed it made it here. EU only in English I guess. |
