US version of Afrika upgraded with trophies

From an interview about Afrika with siliconera

That was going to be my next question! What kind of modifications are you making?

First and foremost there is going to be a trophy system, which wasn't in the Asian release or Japanese release. There have been other suggestions from us and other parties. So, we've been working with Rhino Soft and Sony now to tweak it. Obviously, that's not the final version out there so we're trying to see what we can do to help make it a touch better.

trophy support is always a plus! replay value just skyrocketed haha =P

badz1495446d ago

I was seriously considering to get the Asian version just to spend some money but with trophies in the US version, I think I'll wait for that 1 instead plus, I still need to get inFAMOUS!

MGOelite5446d ago

im still not buying this crap

xabmol5446d ago

I am, and can't wait to play this.

I love Discovery and National Geographic.
Hell I would even call my self an Photography hobbyist, got a Pentax K10 and K1000 about a dozen lenses and I just love framing stuff...
but this game does not turn me on at all.

I would not mind trying it out but I would not call that excitement.

deeznuts5446d ago

Isis06, "but this game does not turn me on at all."

Your problem is that you're relying on a game to turn you on. You should really look for a real animal for that instead. or better yet a female like the rest of us. :)

JL5445d ago

I agree xambol. I can't wait to play this either. I think the thing here is you can't so much go into this looking at it as a game, but rather an "experience". The graphics are stunning on this thing from what I've seen. And while I won't call myself a National Geographic fan or something, i do sometimes like watching wildlife stuff like that from time to time. And have always thought a safari would be cool. This seems to pretty much deliver that as close as it can without actually going to Africa (cause i'm not really every going there). I'll definitely be getting this. I had also intended to import the Asian/English version at one point, then they finally announced it coming over here this year. And now with the additional content and stuff added to it, that solidifies my choice of waiting for the US release. Can't wait.

When you have three kids and been in a relationship for 10 years you to will turn to your console, camera or even your cleaning equipment for sexual healing : P

you cant be serious...

xabmol5446d ago

I do!

It looks really fun to me. I can't wait to follow a pride of lions around and watch 'em on the hunt!

ColinZeal5446d ago

Because this seems to be pretty meditative.. I need it with my hectic work. Just chilling in the Africa and trying to find the right animal to take a picture of.

Release date, anyone?

Fat Bastard5446d ago

Dawn_Of_Ashes5446d ago

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

TrendyGamers4109d ago

Uncharted 4 would definitely make me buy one.

Relientk774109d ago

That's exactly the game I want

blitz06234109d ago

Killzone 4
NEW Naughty Dog IP

RGB4108d 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.

unchartedxplorer4109d ago

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

Hanif-8764109d ago

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

JoGam4109d ago

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

akaakaaka4109d 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"

Saigon4109d 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...

Snookies124108d 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.

HarryMasonHerpderp4108d ago

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

morkendo234108d ago (Edited 4108d ago )

Wedge194109d 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?

TrendyGamers4109d ago

Will it be called Rocket Launcher Extreme?

Shadow Flare4109d ago

It should be called Kazooka!

4109d ago
Godmars2904109d ago

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

Too general?

Hicken4109d 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.

thirtyandnerdy4109d 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?

Fyflin4109d ago

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

ftwrthtx4109d ago

It needs a new IP with a pedigreed developer

doctorstrange4109d ago

Pedigreed? Is that like Activision?

ftwrthtx4109d 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.

rezzah4600d 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.

Ramas4599d 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.

rezzah4599d ago (Edited 4599d 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.
