It was announced this morning that indie-game studio Roll7's break-out, skate-out hit OlliOlli has been nominated for Best Sports Game in the British Academy Games Awards.
Studio Director Simon Bennett notes, "To be held in the same regard as such sports titles as FIFA, Forza and Trials is a massive accolade in itself. To do it with Skateboarding; my favourite sport, is just mental!"
Series creator and hardcore skater John Ribbins continues, "I wish I was Indie and cool enough not to care about the BAFTAs, but I do, and its frickin’ awesome!"
Roll7 would like to thank everyone who has ever played OllIOlli. From the tried-it-once haters, to the hardcore grinders - every single player, writer, content creator - it means the world to us!
Finally, Tom Hegarty, Roll7's third Director, concludes the sentiment with the apt: "YEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH"
