talk about the discovery channel !

THIS GAME BETTER COME TO THE U.S.

MaximusPrime5817d ago

and WHOLE OF EUROPE. PLEASE PLEASE RECONSIDER SONY!

PoSTedUP5817d ago (Edited 5817d ago )

yea sony makes mistakes by keeping some games in japan only, that is their home land though, but i think they have somewhat of a wrong idea on which games will sell ok and which games will not. i see this game selling alot just because the graphics are stunning.

and its one of the first games of its kind with amazing graphics.

LiquifiedArt5817d ago (Edited 5817d ago )

Its one of those games you have on during a holiday. with some relaxing music in the background.

You get the jist of the translation.

Translated Some of the text....

"Animals and nature and how it is to touch the player's mood. Met with success in animals is also nice photo, a binocular observation mirror is also nice. Africa's car can run on earth. What is worrisome is the player's alter ego as a person walks, how animals react to it. Character players as they touch the animals, but it would be fun

Africa can enjoy a variety of perspectives menu is also evident. Currently, the third person point of view, bird's-eye perspective of the animal's point of view there have been confirmed, but many may point of view? In addition, a specific location set up in the perspective of the observation point, it can be done."

looks better then any 360 games this year.

well it isnt really that hard to beat like 4 games

playb3yond

Bits-N-Kibbles5817d ago (Edited 5817d ago )

At first i read your comment and got that you said every 360 game was going to better than this, lol... woops, my bad...

Looks pretty tight, I also hope they release it in all regions too including Antarctica.

They should rename this game "Planet Earth the Game" (i mean it is blu-ray only too)

PoSTedUP5817d ago

people live in Antarctica?

^ ^ ya learn something new every day ^ ^

eagle215817d ago

That is simply breathtaking! Wow! This will be a major hit in Japan.

Don't worry about close minded gamers. Get this out everywhere! :)

tweaker5817d ago (Edited 5817d ago )

They should really release this game worldwide. How hard is it to translate the language in this game? I'm guessing there won't be much text or dialogue in this game. Or it could already be in english or multi-lingual then thats perfectly fine with me. I'll just import it. I can speak Japanese but can't read it. My GF reads, writes, and speaks Japanese way better than me and I used to live in Japan. She has never been there, ever. lol

I agree with you about the close-minded gamers. HA. They should really broaden up and give these types of games a shot. :)

eagle215817d ago

Planet Earth on Blu-ray has been a top seller since the format was released. That crowd and the discovery channel fans (who doesn't like watching discovery every now and again) would love this.

Kids would love it too. It's educational and again, breathtaking!

"Animals react as you walk", that is all I needed to read..

@liqifiedart, thanks for translating! :)

achira5817d ago

graphics look really good. i hope this game comes to europe and america.

Which Launch Title Would Make You Buy a PS4?

That illustrious Sony press event on February 20th is just one week away, and with the PS4 reveal entirely possible (in a huge venue nonetheless), we wanted to end our three weeks of PS4 questions on the games. So, the PlayStation LifeStyle staff was asked:

Which Launch Title Would Make You Buy a PS4?
-PSLS

TrendyGamers4107d ago

Uncharted 4 would definitely make me buy one.

Relientk774107d ago

That's exactly the game I want

blitz06234107d ago

Killzone 4
NEW Naughty Dog IP

RGB4106d ago

Uncharted 4 (Got Vita day 1 because of Golden Abyss)
Gran Turismo 6
Killzone 4

The Getaway... would be epic, think Sony cancelled that because the PS3 couldn't handle a fully mapped City of London with HD visuals.

unchartedxplorer4107d ago

Maybe Gran Turismo 6.. now that'll be awesome

Hanif-8764107d ago

If that's a release title i'd buy two PS4's ;-)

JoGam4107d ago

I'll buy all so far. No game i heard coming out seems wack.

akaakaaka4107d ago

Idk uncharted 4 will be like a bonus..

for me it will be more like the PS4! And the new technology ..
good games will come out eventually ..

But if it launch with
Killzone or a new GG IP, or MS4, TLOU I will make lines a day before!! Or will find a way to get it earlier from the "black market"

Saigon4107d ago

it doesn't matter to me because it is a day one purchase regardless of the games...This is the same with the new Xbox also...

Snookies124107d ago

Are we sure there will be one? I mean, look at the history of Naughty Dog. Crash 1-3(PS1), Jak and Daxter 1-3(PS2), Uncharted 1-3(PS3). Those are main games sure, but they seem as if they like making new trilogies for each generation.

HarryMasonHerpderp4106d ago

The Last Guardian or FF Versus XIII.
(I know they are supposed to be PS3 games)

4106d ago
morkendo234106d ago (Edited 4106d ago )

WHAT GAME WILL MAKE YOU BUY A PS4??

GRAN TURISMO 6, NEW RATCHET AND CLANK, SLY COOPER,JAX AN DAXTER,NEW GRADIUS, NEW NEED FOR SPEED, HD METAL SLUG,CONTRA......

superterabyte4106d ago

Wedge194107d ago

That picture feels so inappropriate... but it's just a rocket with Kaz's face... right? Is that the first look at a first party launch game?

TrendyGamers4107d ago

Will it be called Rocket Launcher Extreme?

Shadow Flare4107d ago

It should be called Kazooka!

4107d ago
Godmars2904107d ago

Something I'd like to play which is actually playable?

Too general?

Hicken4107d ago

Not really. If I tried to be specific, I'd come up with SO MANY titles.

Legend of Dragoon
Gran Turismo
Uncharted
Killzone
.hack
Xenosaga
Valkyria Chronicles

And probably a good thirty I can't think of.

thirtyandnerdy4107d ago

The thing I'm wondering about the next gen consoles is, for example, whether we'll see a second round of titles like Crysis 3 come out for them. You know, it'll initially launch on PS3, 360 and PC ... but then down the road will the new consoles get a version with improved graphics, etc. !!! Ya? Na?

Fyflin4107d ago

I'm expecting this with GTA V, and wouldn't be surprised to see an upgraded version of Bioshock Infinite

ftwrthtx4107d ago

It needs a new IP with a pedigreed developer

doctorstrange4107d ago

Pedigreed? Is that like Activision?

ftwrthtx4107d ago

A developer with a pedigree would be Naughty Dog or David Cage

The Best Games Never to Get a Worldwide Release

IGN:
Last week, we brought you the games that time forgot - those games stuck in development limbo that they may never escape. But there's another category of lost games: the ones that never make it out of Japan. Back in the PlayStation 2 era (and the SNES era before that), there were hundreds and hundreds of them every year. Now there are many fewer, but the odd one still slips through the net.

A quick glance through this generation's consoles reveals a range of gems which have sadly never been given the chance to shine on the global stage. While there's always the option to import, wouldn't it be wonderful if we could forget about exchange rates and taxes and pick up these titles a little closer to home?

Reconsidering PS3′s Afrika

BigShinyRobot: Afrika is Rhino Studio’s first attempt at creating a game on the PS3. Unfortunately, reviews have been mostly unfavorable as it just doesn’t appeal to most audiences. Most people I talk to about it just assume that it’s just insanely boring. Actually, I’d be willing to bet that most gamers today who would even turn it on wouldn’t last 15 minutes before switching it out for Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto. The reason, I believe, is that modern gamers need that constant barrage of stimulation to the senses and this game is presented at a much slower pace. However, I have always been a huge supporter of new ideas because the thought of another cookie-cutter FPS makes me gag. I will admit that my first impressions of Afrika were……well, a bit off.

i wanted this game a lot, but when i tried it it sucked a lot.
It could have been very good game if:
1. Huge open world
2. Rpg elements, like stats how long you survived in the wild, what you acomplished, many side quests, secrets, seling rare photos and for cash buying all kinds of cool items and so on.

But i repeat first and most important thing should have been huge open world and freedom.

rezzah4598d ago

It's not that the game sucked, you just don't have a passion for animals and a lot of patience.

This game focuses on the habitats of real animals, not pokemon.

it also goes on to show you the lifestyle, in a sense, of a photographer who takes pictures of animals for a living.

The game takes a very realistic point of view, it doesn't do fantasy which is why people like you dislike the game.

Ramas4598d ago

you do not get me, i liked the idea a lot and it could have been very good game. (i like animals)
If it would be posibble to have freedom and huge area to explore not instanced missions it would have been much better game.

rezzah4598d ago (Edited 4598d ago )

The areas are already huge, the sense of how big they actually are would really sink in if we didn't have the jeep to drive around in.

Also any game would be far more awesome, or at least we may think (sometimes areas are too big for one's liking), with bug areas but it also puts a strain on what is within that environment. Notice that the biggest area had the most open space? That's to reduce lag with so much going on at once in a small area. It is easy to spot a slight lag in animal movements when driving really fast in a tight area.

Edit: What I'm trying to say is enjoy it for what it is, not what you want it to be or could of been.
